Wilcox ED U CATIO N AL E Q U IPM E N T 23 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE HISTORY AND LOCATION Swarthmore College was founded in 1864 by members of the re­ ligious Society of Friends. In accordance with Friendly traditions, the purpose of the College has been to develop better individuals by the training of disciplined intelligence, the discovery of individual capacities, and the establishment of a sense of social responsibility. The College demands rigorous standards of scholarship and a re­ sponsible attitude toward the College and society as necessary means to a liberal culture. T h e College is situated in the Borough of Swarthmore, eleven miles southwest of Philadelphia on the W est Chester branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and close to the highway, Route 1, which leads to Baltimore. The Borough is primarily a residential suburb with a small business section. In addition to the Friends Meeting House there are four churches: the Episcopal, the Presbyterian, the Methodist, and the Christian Scientist. Churches of other denomina­ tions which also welcome Swarthmore students are to be found three miles away in the city of Chester. The enrolment of the College is limited to approximately six hun­ dred resident students. The endowment is seven and a half million dollars. EDUCATIONAL EQUIPMENT GROUNDS THE ARBORETUM T w o hundred and thirty-seven acres are contained in the College property, including a large tract of woodland and the valley of Crum Creek. Much of this tract has been developed as an Arboretum through the provisions of the Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural Foun­ dation, established in 1929 by M rs. Arthur Hoyt Scott and Owen and Margaret Moon as a memorial to Arthur Hoyt Scott of the Class of 1895. The Arboretum is designed both to beautify the campus and to afford examples of the better kinds of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants which are hardy in the climate of Eastern Pennsylvania and suitable for planting by the average gardener. There are exceptionally fine displays of Japanese cherries and tree peonies, 24 SW ARTHM ORE COLLEGE B U L L E T IN and a great variety of lilacs and chrysanthemums. M any donors have contributed generously to the collections. (For full information see Bulletin of Swarthmore College, Vol. xxxvii, No. 5.) PLAYING FIELDS There are two large tracts of playing fields for men, one over­ looking Crum Woods and the other on the lower campus near the Field House. The former includes Swarthmore Field and Alumni Field which provide grounds for football, baseball and lacrosse, and a quarter-mile cinder track. A permanent grandstand, seating eighteen hundred persons, was the gift of Morris S. Clothier, 1890. The lower tract contains additional fields for lacrosse and soccer. There are also seven tennis courts near Wharton Hall. Cunningham Field for women was given by students, alumnae, and friends of the College in memory of Susan J. Cunningham, for many years Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy. It includes hockey fields, tennis courts, practice golf course, and a riding ring. The Women’s Athletic Association owns also an Outing Club cabin on a farm near Nottingham, Pennsylvania. B U IL D IN G S CLASS-ROOMS, LABORATORIES, AND OFFICES Parrish H all contains the offices of the President, Deans, Comp­ troller, House Director and Dietitian; the offices of the departments of classics, English, fine arts, French and mathematics, the mathe­ matics library, and a number of class-rooms and seminar rooms. The Isaac H . Clothier Memorial is the gift of Mrs. Isaac H. Clothier and members of her family in memory of Isaac H . Clothier, for forty-eight years one of the Board of Managers, and for seven years President of the Board. T h e Memorial is a quadrangle of buildings, including a bell tower connected by cloisters with a suite of seminar rooms and the Managers’ Room, and a hall seating one thousand persons, equipped with stage and organ. T h e organ was the gift of Herbert J. T ily in memory of Isaac H . Clothier. Trotter H all, in its east wing, provides offices and class-rooms for the departments of economics, history, philosophy, and pblitical sci­ ence. T h e central section contains the laboratories, offices and lecture room of the department of physics. T h e west wing houses groups working in music, dramatics and art. T h e H all of Chemistry is equipped with laboratories, offices, a ED U CATIO N AL E Q U IPM E N T 25 lecture amphitheatre, and a library for instruction and research in chemistry. The Edward Martin Biological Laboratory, given by Fred M . Kirby of Wilkes-Barre, in honor of D r. Edward Martin, houses the departments of botany, zoology, and psychology. It provides class­ rooms, laboratories, and a library for both undergraduate instruction and advanced research. The Sproul Astronomical Observatory houses the astronomical work of the department of mathematics and astronomy. The astro­ nomical equipment has been purchased from a fund given by W illiam C. Sproul, 1891, and is extensively used for advanced research. The Students11 Astronomical Observatory occupies one wing of Cunning­ ham House. Hicks H all and Beardsley H all house the division of engineering. Hicks H all was given by Frederick C, Hicks, 1893, in memory of the Hicks family of Long Island— Isaac Hicks, Elias Hicks, Benjamin Hicks, and Alice A . Hicks. The building provides civil, electrical and mechanical laboratories, class-rooms, offices, a library, and an auditorium. Beardsley H all contains forge and foundry, machine shop and wood working equipment. T h e Bartol Foundation Building, erected on the campus by The Franklin Institute for research in physics, is entirely independent of the College, but makes a contribution to Swarthmore life by bring­ ing here a group of research physicists. GYMNASIUMS T h e William J. H all Gymnasium for men contains offices, exam­ ining room, a main exercise hall, and hand ball courts. The Field House for men was designed by Robert E. Lamb of the Board of Managers. Its dimensions are 315 feet by 115 feet; it in­ cludes two basketball floors,, and a clay floor large enough for base­ ball, football, soccer, lacrosse, and other games normally played out of doors. T h e building also has a running track, tennis courts, and rooms for wrestling and boxing. A bowling alley is provided in a building recently purchased from a former boys’ preparatory school. Somerville Hall, erected in 1893 by the Somerville Literary So­ ciety, is the gymnasium for women students. Swimming pools for men and for women are connected with the H all and Somerville Gymnasiums. Both were given by Philip M . Sharpies, Emeritus member of the Board of Managers. 26 SW ARTHM ORE COLLEGE B U L LE T IN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES L IB R A R IE S The Swarthmore College Library, in part the gift of Andrew Carnegie, contains reading rooms, offices, and a collection of 125,000 volumes. Some 6,000 volumes are added annually. About 600 period­ icals are received regularly. T h e general collection, including all but the scientific and technical books and journals, is housed in the library building, situated on the front campus. An addition provid­ ing storeroom for 150,000 volumes was erected in 1935. Important special units of the main Library are the Appleton* collection of classics and English literature and the Potter collection of legal ma­ terial. T h e library is definitely a collection of books and journals for undergraduate use. T h e demands of honors work, however, make necessary the provision of large quantities of source material not usually found in collections maintained for undergraduates. It is a point of library policy to supply as fully as it can, either by purchase or through inter-library loan, the books needed by students or mem­ bers of the faculty for their individual research. One wing of the library was given by Clement M . Biddle, 1896, in memory of his father, Clement M . Biddle, to house the Friends His­ torical Library. This collection, founded in 1870 by Anson Lapham, contains a valuable and growing number of Friends’ records, books, tracts, and early writings (many very rare), portraits of representa­ tive Friends, pictures of old meeting houses, objects and relics of personal and historic interest, and manuscripts relating to the Society and its history. T h e new wing is a fireproof structure of stone and steel; it is hoped that Friends and others w ill deem it a safe place in which to deposit books, papers, portraits, and other material in their possession which may throw light on the history of the Society. The library is accessible to all persons interested in the doctrines and history of Friends. ED U CATIO N AL RESOURCES 27 T H E W I L L I A M J. C O O P E R F O U N D A T IO N The W illiam J. Cooper Foundation provides a varied program of lectures and concerts which enriches and supplements the academic work of the College. The Foundation was established by W illiam J. Cooper, a devoted friend of the College, whose wife, Emma M cllvain Cooper, served as a member of the Board of Managers from 1882 to 1923. M r. Cooper bequeathed to the College the sum of $100,000 and provided that the income should be used “ in bring­ ing to the College from time to time eminent citizens of this and other countries who are leaders in statesmanship, education, the arts, sciences, learned professions and business, in order that the faculty, students and the College community may be broadened by a closer acquaintance with matters of world interest.” Admission to all pro­ grams is without charge. The Cooper Foundation Committee works with the departments and with student organizations in arranging single lectures and con­ certs, and also in bringing to the College speakers of note who re­ main in residence for a long enough period to enter into the life of the community. They not only give public addresses, but also attend seminars and classes, and meet students and members of the Faculty informally. Some of these speakers have been invited with the under­ standing that their lectures should be published under the auspices of the Foundation. This arrangement has so far produced 7 volumes: Lindsay, Alexander Dunlop. The Essentials of Democracy. Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Press, 1929. Lowes, John Livingston.

T h e Society owes its name to the American artist of the eighteenth century who was born in a house which still stands on the Swarthmore Campus, and who became President of the Royal Academy. The George Grey Barnard collection, the gift of the artist, con­ tains 200 casts of his works, many of great size. It is not open to visitors, since the building in which it is temporarily stored for safe keeping is not suitable for exhibitions. C O L L E C T I O N O F R E C O R D E D M U S IC The Bronson M . Cutting Memorial Collection of Recorded Music was established at Swarthmore College in 1936 by a gift of approxi­ mately four thousand phonograph records, a radio-phonograph, books and musical scores, from the family of Bronson Murray Cutting, late Senator from New Mexico. Its object is to make the best re­ corded music available to the undergraduates, faculty, and friends of Swarthmore College, in cooperation with the work of the College Department of Music. HOUSING 29 HOUSING Swarthmore is primarily a residential college, conducted on the assumption that an important element in education comes from close association of students and instructors. T h e College accepts a limited number of day students whose homes are within easy commuting dis­ tance. A ll other students live in dormitories and have their meals in the College Dining Room. D O R M IT O R IE S There are five dormitories for men: Wharton H all, named in honor of its donor, Joseph Wharton, at one time President of the Board of Managers; three buildings on Chester Road purchased from the old Swarthmore Preparatory School, and Thomas House on Harvard Avenue. The women’s dormitories include the upper floors in the wings of Parrish H all; Worth Hall, the gift of W illiam P. W orth, 1876, and J. Sharpless W orth, ex-1873, as a memorial to their parents; Woolman House, at Elm Avenue and W alnut Lane, given by Emma C. Bancroft, for many years Chairman of the Household Committee of the Board of Managers; Maison Française, at 5I9 W alnut Lane, and Foote House, at W alnut Lane and Ogden Avenue. D IN IN G R O O M S A ll students, both men and women, have their meals in two ad­ joining College Dining Rooms in Parrish Hall. IN F IR M A R IE S The infirmary for men is in Section F of Wharton Hall. The women’s infirmary is at the east end of Parrish Hall. Each is under the direction of the College Physician for men and for women re­ spectively. 30 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN P R O V IS IO N F O R S O C IA L L IF E COLLECTION H A L L A large recreation room, Collection Hall, is in the central section of Parrish H all above the dining rooms. It provides space for danc­ ing, tables for ping pong and bridge, and a program of formal and informal social events directed by the College Social Committee of men and women students. BOND M EM ORIAL H A L L AN D ACTIVITIES LODGES Bond Memorial H all, adjacent to W orth Hall, contains a large drawing room equipped for teas and class dances. On the upper floors are rooms for the use of the Women’s Student Government Association, Mortar Board, and the Cutting Collection. Bond Tower and the two Activities Lodges contain four College guest rooms. Each Activities Lodge provides also a room furnished as a living room for meetings of small groups and for informal enter­ taining. m e n ’s f r a t e r n it y lodges Five national fraternities for men maintain chapters at Swarthmore: Phi Kappa Psi, Kappa Sigma, Delta Upsilon, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Sigma Kappa. Each has a small lodge, used solely for informal social gatherings. About half the men students are members of fra­ ternities, but all men, regardless of such affiliations, live in College dormitories and have their meals in the College dining rooms. w o m e n ’s c l a s s lo d g es Four lodges, connected with Bond Hall, are assigned to the women members of each of the four classes. T h e lodge which a class takes over as freshmen remains a center of their informal social life through­ out their College course. Class and Activities Lodges were originally the property of six chapters of national women’s fraternities. These chapters gave up their charters as the result of a decision by the Women’s Student Government Association that they interfered with the development of general College social life. STUDENT WELFARE 31 STUDENT WELFARE H EALTH There are two part-time College physicians, one for men and one for women, each of whom holds daily office hours at the College. Students may consult them during office hours without charge. A student must report any illness to the College physicians, but is free to go for treatment to another doctor if he prefers to do so. The College physicians give physical examinations to all students at the beginning of their freshman year, and arrange to see every student at least once in each subsequent year. The infirmaries are open to resident students without charge unless the services of a special nurse are required. Students suffering from a communicable disease or from illness which makes it necessary for them to remain in bed must stay in the infirmaries for the period of their illness. The psychiatrists of the Institute of the Pennsylvania Hospital are consulted when need arises. S T U D E N T A D V IS E R S The Deans and their assistants serve as student advisers. They rely also on the help of upper class men and women in work with Freshmen. Members of the Senior Honorary Societies of Book and Key and Mortar Board carry special responsibility for the Freshman Orientation Program. V O C A T I O N A L A D V IC E The Alumni Secretary and an Assistant to the Dean provide in­ formation on vocations and arrange conferences to assist students in their choice of a career; they also attempt to help undergraduates and graduates find employment. 32 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN GENERAL COLLEGE ACTIVITIES R E L IG IO U S E X E R C ISE S COLLECTION Required There is an assembly of the College, called Collection, from 9:00 until 9:25 a. m., every Wednesday in the Clothier Memorial; at­ tendance of students is required. The program is opened by a period of silence according to the Friendly tradition, followed by an address or music. Voluntary A meeting in the manner of the Society of Friends is held on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 9:00 to 9:15 a. m., in the Friends Meeting House on the campus. No program is ar­ ranged. Members of the Faculty or students speak occasionally, but the period is frequently one of silent meditation. Attendance is voluntary. VESPERS A Vesper service is held at 6:45 p. m. on most Sundays from October until the spring vacation. T h e program is entirely musical. W ith the aid of the Cooper Foundation, outside artists are secured for a series of recitals. There are also programs by the College Chorus and Orchestra. C O L L E G E P U B L IC A T IO N S The Swarthmore College Bulletin, published quarterly by the Administration, includes as three of its numbers the College Cata­ logue, the Annual Report of the President and Treasurer, and the Students’ Handbook. T h e fourth number is devoted to special re­ ports. The Garnet Letter, edited by the Alumni Secretary, carries news of the College to the Alumni. It appears four times a year. Three publications are under student management: a weekly news­ paper, the Swarthmore Phoenix; a literary magazine, the D odo; and a year-book, the Halcyon, edited by the Junior Class. Students serve also as assistant editors of the Students’ Handbook. The releasing of College news to papers in Philadelphia and else­ where is in the hands of a student group, the College Press Board, which works with the Administration in - issuing official statements, and takes care of reporting all undergraduate activities. I Ji¡ÉÍ I GENERAL COLLEGE ACTIVITIES 33 AR TS A N D CRAFTS W ork in the applied arts at Swarthmore is done chiefly in extra­ curricular groups which do not involve academic credit. These are directed by professional artists and craftsmen, and include often both students and members of the Faculty. Students are encouraged to take part in at least one such activity as a valuable supplement to their academic work. DRAMATICS The Laboratory Workshop includes extra-curricular work open to all students in directing, acting, stage and costume design and con­ struction, lighting, and classes in playwriting and make-up. These activities provide the groundwork for two or more public productions a year in the Clothier Memorial Auditorium. Responsibility for these performances is shared by the Director of Dramatics and an elective student organization, The Little Theater Club, whose members have shown distinction in the Workshop. In 1939-40, the public produc­ tions were Patience, by Gilbert and Sullivan, and the Petrified Forest, by Robert Sherwood. T H E GRAPH IC ARTS Instruction in drawing and painting is provided through weekly meetings of the Sketch Club. A class in metal and wood working is conducted in the engineering shops. There is also a Print Club for typesetters. Students interested in photography work together in the Camera Club. M U SIC The Swarthmore College Orchestra and M ixed Chorus hold weekly meetings to prepare programs for presentation at the College and elsewhere. These groups study the best classical and modern music. The Swarthmore College Glee Club, a men’s chorus, in­ cludes popular music in the concerts which it gives in various cities under alumni auspices. An informal chamber music group plays weekly in the house of a member of the Faculty. There are also informal singing groups which gather from time to time in Faculty houses. RADIO The Radio Club operates Amateur Radio Station W 3 A J and is affiliated with the American Radio Relay League. 34 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN P U B LIC SPEA K IN G Groups for the study and practice of public speaking are organized at the request of students. This year there will probably be one such group for men and four for women. The Town Meeting provides opportunities for all students to hear and participate in discussions of public questions. Intercollegiate debates, radio broadcasts, and speeches to nearby clubs are arranged by the Debate Board, an undergraduate body including all students who have represented the College in public debate, in cooperation with the faculty adviser of debating. Public Speaking Contests are open to all undergraduates including contests for the W illiam Plumer Potter Prize (p. 39), the Delta Upsilon Prizes (p. 46), and the Ella Frances Bunting Extemporaneous Speaking Prizes (p. 46). A T H L E T IC S The College maintains a varied program of activities for men and women with a schedule of both extra-mural and intra-mural games. The aim of the athletic program is to develop the capacities of each individual student, and to give a large number of students the ex­ perience of representing the College on athletic teams. The propor­ tion of men students who played on teams in 1939-40 was 70 per cent. The Departments of Physical Education for men and women work closely with the two student Athletic Associations. For information about the requirements in physical education, and the choice of pos­ sible ways of meeting them, see pages 114 and 116. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS 35 STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS T H E S T U D E N T C O M M U N IT Y STU D EN T CO U N C IL The whole undergraduate community of men and women is repre­ sented by the Student Council which attempts to coordinate all stu­ dent activities, and confers with the Administrative Council of the Faculty on College problems. m e n ’s e x e c u t iv e c o m m it t e e The men students of the College are represented by the M en s Executive Committee, a group elected to take responsibility for speci­ fied problems which have to do primarily with dormitory life. w o m e n ’s stu d en t governm ent a s s o c ia t io n A ll women students are members of the Women s Student Govern­ ment Association, headed by an Executive Committee elected to pro­ mote a great variety of women’s interests. This Committee includes the chairmen of certain important committees: Conduct, which main­ tains social regulations; Personnel, which has a special concern for helping freshmen; Social (see below ); Vocational, which assists the women’s Vocational Director; Student-Alumnae Relationships, which arranges the program for Somerville Day, on which alumnae are invited to return to the College ; Somerville Lectures, which brings to the College popular speakers on subjects related to the Arts. SOCIAL COM M ITTEE An extensive program of social activities is managed by the Social Committee, under the direction of two elected co-chairmen, a man and a woman. The program is designed to appeal to a wide variety of interests, and is open to all students. SOMERVILLE FORUM A ll women undergraduates and graduates are members of the Somerville Forum, an outgrowth of the Somerville Literary Society, which was established in 1871. The undergraduates hold open meet­ ings devoted to music, art and literature; the alumnae maintain two fellowships for women for graduate work, the Lucretia M ott Fellowship and the Martha E. Tyson Fellowship. The final meeting in April, known as Somerville Day, is a gathering of alumnae and undergraduates. 36 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN S O C IE T IE S A N D C L U B S HON ORARY SCH OLARSH IP SOCIETIES Phi Beta Kappa, the national society for the recognition of scholar­ ship, has had a chapter at Swarthmore since 1896. A chapter of Sigma Tau, the national society recognizing scholastic attainment in engineering, was established in 1917. A chapter of Sigma X i, the national scientific society for the promotion of research, was granted a charter in 1922. D EPAR TM E N TAL CLU B S Departmental clubs which hold stated meetings during the academic year include: the Cercle Français, the Chemistry Club, the Classical Club, the Engineers Club, and the German Club. The programs of these clubs give the opportunity for the presentation of papers and addresses by undergraduates and frequently by visiting scholars and scientists. SW ARTHM ORE STU D EN T U N IO N The Swarthmore Student Union is an organization of liberal stu­ dents who have an active interest in public affairs. Committees de­ voted to work in peace, labor problems and education carry on pro­ grams in their special fields. T h e Union publishes a bulletin con­ taining articles by students and faculty which appears quarterly, and sponsors study groups in social problems and public lectures by dis­ tinguished speakers in various fields. The Union is entirely independ­ ent and has no affiliation with any national organization. IN T E R N A TIO N A L RELATIONS CLU B The International Relations Club is an organization which studies the international situation from a non-partisan viewpoint. It holds meetings at which outside speakers on foreign affairs are frequently present. The club is under the supervision of two members of the faculty, and the membership is unlimited. No student organization of the College may incur any financial obligation, or make any contract involving a monetary consideration without first obtaining the sanction of the Comptroller of the College, or of the proper faculty committee under whose supervision the or­ ganization is placed. Students contemplating a new organization must first consult the faculty committee on Student Affairs.

Sw arth m ore C ollege O pen S c h o l a r s h ip s for M en . Swarthmore College in 1922 established five annual open competitive scholarships for men, not confined to any particular school, locality, subject of study, or religious denomination. These scholarships, based upon the general plan of the Rhodes Scholarships, are given to candi­ dates who, in the opinion of the Selection Committee, rank highest in scholarship and character. The regulations under which these scholarships will be awarded in 1941 are as follows: T h e stipend of an Open Scholarship is $500 a year. Each Scholar­ ship is tenable for four consecutive years, subject to the maintenance of a high standing in College. A ll holders of Open Scholarships must be resident students, living and taking their meals at the College. SCHOLARSHIPS 41 A candidate to be eligible must: (1) Be more than fifteen and less than twenty years of age on September first of the year for which he is elected. (2) Meet the requirements for admission to Swarthmore College as prescribed in the college catalogue. (3) Not have attended another college or university. Each candidate must secure the endorsement of the principal of his preparatory school. Scholars will be selected on the basis of (1) their school record as shown by the material called for in the application blank; (2) an examination to be conducted on April 5> I 94 I> at one hundred and fifty places in the United States, consisting of the Scholastic Aptitude Test and achievement tests; and (3) a personal interview with the Selection Committee or its representatives. Whenever possible, candidates will come to the College for their interviews. It is expected, however, that these interviews can be arranged in various parts of the United States, so as to make it unnecessary for candidates to travel any considerable distance. Application blanks duly filled out and ac­ companied by the material specified must reach Dean Everett Hunt at Swarthmore College before March 1 of the year in which they are awarded. The awards will be announced about June first. The records of all Open Scholars w ill be reviewed by the Com­ mittee each year, the record of the first two years being especially con­ sidered as a basis for continuing a scholarship. Open Scholars are expected to maintain a high standard throughout the College course. In re-awarding Scholarships vacated because of low academic stand­ ing or for any other reason, preference will be given to original com­ petitors, who have since made outstanding records in Swarthmore College. 16. S w arth m ore C ollege O pen S c h o l a r s h ip s for W om en . M r. and Mrs. Daniel S. W hite, of the Class of 1875, on the occasion of the Fiftieth Reunion of that class, established three open com­ petitive scholarships for women, in the names of Howard White, Jr., Serena B. White, and W alter W . Green. Each award normally car­ ries a stipend of $500 per annum, and is tenable for four consecutive years, subject to the holder’s maintenance of high standing in college. These scholarships are not confined to any particular school, locality, subject of study, or religious denomination. They are based on the 42 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN general plan of the Rhodes Scholarships, and are given to candidates who show greatest promise in: ( 1 ) qualities of leadership; (2) literary and scholastic ability and attainments; (3) physical vigor, as evinced by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways. T o be eligible a candidate must: (1) be qualified for admission to the Freshman Class; (see Col­ lege Catalogue, pages 48-49); (2) secure the endorsement of the Principal of her preparatory school; (3) expect to be a resident student. Candidates will be asked to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test and special achievement tests, to be given by the College Entrance Examination Board on April 5, 1941, in 150 places in the United States. The nature of these tests is such as not to require any special preparation. A fee of $10.00 is charged each candidate by the College Entrance Examination Board. The scholarships will be awarded to the applicants who appear most promising, judged on the basis of (1) school record and recommendations; (2) personal interview with a representative of the College; (3) ratings in the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the special achieve­ ment tests of the College Entrance Examination Board. The College makes arrangements to interview candidates of special promise either at Swarthmore or in the vicinity of their own homes.

The E d w a r d C l a r k s o n W i l s o n S c h o l a r s h i p . A scholar­ ship with an annual value of $125 has been established at Swarthmore by friends of Edward Clarkson Wilson, ’91, formerly Principal of the Baltimore Friends School. It w ill be awarded each year to a former student of the Baltimore Friends School, who has been ap­ proved by the faculty of the School, on the basis of (1) high charac­ ter; (2) high standing in scholarship. The scholarship is open both to Freshmen and to members of the upper classes, both to men and women of all denominations. In any year when there is no outstand­ ing candidate from the students of the Baltimore Friends School, the scholarship will be awarded to another young man or woman who shall meet the required standards and who is approved by the School faculty and the College. 2 6 . The M a r y W o o d F u n d is limited by the following words from the donor’s w ill: “ the income thereof to be, by the proper offi­ cers thereof, applied to the maintenance and education at said Col­ lege of one female student therein, one preparing for the avocation of a teacher to be preferred as the beneficiary, but in all other respects the application of the income of said Fund to be in the absolute dis­ SCHOLARSHIPS 45 cretion of the College.” The value of this scholarship is approximately $75.00 annually. 2 7 . The A a r o n B. I v i n s S c h o l a r s h i p is awarded annually to a young man of the graduating class of Friends Central School, Overbrook, Philadelphia. It is awarded under the following conditions: The recipient must have been a student at Friends Central for at least two years, he must have good health, high grades, and must be the best all-around student in his class desirous of entering Swarthmore College. This scholarship, awarded by the faculty of Friends Central School, and subject to the approval of Swarthmore College, has the value of approximately $450 for a resident student and a maximum of $400 for a non-resident student. 28. Additional honorary and “ working scholarships” are awarded annually by the College from general funds. Students should apply for these scholarships before April 15 of the year before they wish to receive an award. Men should file their applications with Dean Everett H unt; women, with Dean Frances Blanshard. In making awards the Committee recognizes both high scholastic standing and definite financial need. “ Working scholarships” are approximately half earned and half honorary. Recipients are asked to assist in one of the college offices, shops, or laboratories for the number of hours a week in which they could normally earn half their scholarships. An award of $100 re­ quires about four hours of work a week. S P E C IA L A W A R D S The I v y M e d a l F u n d was created by a gift from Owen Moon, ’94. The income of the fund is used to purchase a medal which is placed in the hands of the faculty for award on Commencement Day to a male member of the graduating class. The regulations governing the award are as follows: (1) The qualifications for the Ivy Medal are similar to those for the Rhodes Scholarships and include (a) qualities of manhood, force of char­ acter, and leadership; (b) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. These have been phrased by the donor in the words “leadership based upon character and scholarship.” (2) It is the wish of the donor that the medal should not be awarded on a mere basis of averages. Instead, it is desired that the winner should be a man who gives promise of distinction either in character or in intellectual attain­ ments, as opposed to a man who has merely made the most of mediocre abilities. 46 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN (3) O n the other hand, it is the w ish of the donor that the m edal should not go to a m an w ho, w h ile sh ow in g excellence in some one respect, has fa lle n seriously b elo w the stan dard in others. The O a k L e a f M e d a l was established by David Dwight Row­ lands of the Class of 1909* It was later permanently endowed in memory of him by Hazel C. Rowlands, ’07, and Caroline A . Lukens, ’98. The medal is placed in the hands of the faculty to be awarded each year to the woman member of the Senior Class who is out­ standing for loyalty, scholarship and service. The M c C a b e E n g i n e e r i n g A w a r d , founded by Thomas B. M c­ Cabe, 1915, is to be presented each year to the outstanding engineering student in the Senior Class. The recipient is chosen by a committee of the faculty of the Division of Engineering. The A . E d w a r d N e w t o n L i b r a r y P r i z e , endowed by A . Edward Newton, to make permanent the Library Prize first established by W . W . Thayer, is awarded annually to that undergraduate who, in the opinion of the Committee of Award, shows the best and most in­ telligently chosen collection of books upon any subject. Particular emphasis is laid in the award, not merely upon the size of the collec­ tion but also upon the skill with which the books are selected and upon the owner’s knowledge of their subject-matter. The K a t h a r i n e B. S i c a r d P r i z e , endowed by the Delta Gamma Fraternity in memory of Katharine B. Sicard, ex ’34, is awarded annually to the Freshman woman who, in the opinion of the depart­ ment, shows greatest proficiency in English. P u b l i c S p e a k i n g C o n t e s t s . Prizes for annual contests in public speaking are provided by two funds as follows: The E l l a F r a n c e s B u n t i n g E x t e m p o r a r y S p e a k i n g F u n d awards $45 in six prizes, three for men and three for women, for the best extemporaneous short speeches. The O w e n M o o r e F u n d provides the Delta Upsilon Speaking Contest prizes totalling $25 for the best prepared speeches on topics of current interest. T h e G e o r g e F o x A w a r d of $100 is presented annually by an anonymous friend of the College to the undergraduate who writes the best essay on some phase of the history or testimonies of the So­ ciety of Friends. LOANS 47 The E l i z a b e t h F r y A w a r d of $50, together with an autographed copy of Janet Payne W hitney’s biography of Elizabeth Fry, is pre­ sented annually by an anonymous friend of the College to the under­ graduate who writes the best essay on some aspect of the social atti­ tudes and activities of some Quaker individual or group, preferably of recent times. The J o h n R u s s e l l H a y e s P o e t r y P r iz e s are of a value of approximately $30 for a first prize, and $15 for a second prize, offered for the best original poem or for a translation from the Latin or Greek. Manuscripts should be ready by M ay 1 of each year. LOANS Several loan funds are administered by a committee to which ap­ plication should be made through the Comptroller of the College. T h e J o h n A . M il l e r L o a n F u n d was established by the Class of 1912 at their twenty-fifth reunion. Both principal and income are to be used to provide a loan fund for students in the three upper classes. Individual students may borrow up to $200 in any one year, such loans to be repayable within five years with interest at four per­ cent. T h e S w a r t h m o r e C o l l e g e S t u d e n t L o a n F u n d was estab­ lished by M r. Clarence J. Gamble, who, feeling such a fund to be of unusual benefit to worthy students, gave a sum to the College on condition that the Board should set aside an equal amount to be added to the fund. Both principal and income may be used for loans to students, repayable not later than five years after graduation, with interest at the rate of four percent. The E l l is D . W i l l i a m s F u n d . By the will of Ellis D . Williams, a legacy of $25,000 was left to the College, the income from which is to be used for loans to students, repayable not later than five years after graduation, with interest at the rate of four percent. T h e C l a s s o f 1913 L o a n F u n d was established by the Class of 1913 at their twenty-fifth reunion. Both principal and income are to be used to provide a loan fund for students in the three upper classes. Individual students may borrow up to $200 in any one year, the loans to be repayable within five years with interest at four percent. 48 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN ADMISSION Applications for admission should be addressed to the Deans of the College: from men applicants, to Dean Everett L. Hunt; from women, to Dean Frances Blanshard. GENERAL STA TEM EN T An applicant for admission w ill be judged on the basis of the fol­ lowing evidence: 1. Record in secondary school. 2. Recommendation of the school principal or headmaster. 3. Rating in the Scholastic Aptitude Test, and in any other College Entrance Board examinations which may be required in special cases. 4. Personal interview with one of the Deans or an appointed repre­ sentative (interviews are normally arranged only for applicants of promise). For several years the number of qualified applicants has exceeded the limits of the Freshman class, putting admission on a competitive basis. In the selection of students, strong intellectual interests and excellence in some particular direction w ill receive more consideration than a record which shows a higher average without promise of un­ usual ability in any one field. In addition, the Admissions Committee will place emphasis upon the qualities of character which have been traditionally associated with the Society of Friends. First consider­ ation w ill be given to children of Friends and Alumni of the College; those who rank high in their graduating class will be assured of ad­ mission; those who do not rank high will be considered under the terms of the selective process described above. ADMISSION 49 S U B JE C T S O F P R E P A R A T O R Y S T U D Y In preparation for College work an applicant is expected to com­ plete a four-year secondary school course which includes work in English, foreign language, mathematics, history, and usually a labora­ tory science. The table below shows the possible distribution of work among these subjects.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 50 P L A N O F A D M IS S IO N In general candidates are admitted on the basis of ( i ) high rank in school and in the Scholastic Aptitude T est; (2) evidence of sturdi­ ness of character. Students who show special distinction in one line in spite of irregularities of preparation may be given the opportunity of qualifying for admission by taking certain content examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board. I M P O R T A N T D A T E S F O R A D M IS S IO N A P P L IC A N T S A formal application should be submitted during the Junior year, whenever possible, and must be filed for women by January 1 of the year in which admission is desired and for men, by April 1. Applicants are required to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test in April of their Senior year if they have not taken it at the end of their Junior year. Applicants normally receive notice of the action of the Admissions Committee during the first week in M ay. Provisional acceptance at this time must be ratified after a candidate’s final grades have been submitted, together with a Health Certificate and evidence of success­ ful vaccination. S C H O L A R S H IP S The dates before which applications for scholarships should be filed are: for women, January 1; for men, March 1. A ll candidates for awards in the Freshman year are required to take special qualifying tests, consisting of the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Scholastic Achievement Test administered by the College Entrance Examination Board.

A list of these places and a detailed announcement regarding the April series of examinations will be ready for distribution on October 1. ADMISSION 51 Every candidate is required to file an application with the Execu­ tive Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, 431 W est 117th Street, New York, N . Y ., not later than March 15, 1941. (Candidates west of the Mississippi should file their applications by March 8, those outside of the United States, by February 8.) A candidate who takes the examinations in order to qualify for a scholar­ ship should secure the blank form from the College. A candidate taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test for admission only may secure an application form directly from the College Board. In order to facili­ tate the making of arrangements for the proper conduct of the examinations, it is desired that all applications be filed as early as possible. The examination fee of ten dollars for both tests, or five dollars for the Scholastic Aptitude Test alone should accompany the application and should be remitted by postal order, express order, or draft on New York to the order of the College Entrance Examina­ tion Board. Inasmuch as no special preparation will be needed for this series of examinations, detailed information regarding them, with the excep­ tion of the practice booklet for the Scholastic Aptitude Test, w ill not be distributed to candidates. The College Entrance Examination Board will report to the in­ stitution indicated on the candidate’s application the results of his examinations. Candidates should not expect to receive from the Board reports upon their examinations. A D V A N C E D S T A N D IN G For favorable consideration, applicants for advanced standing must have had a high scholastic record in the institution from which they wish to transfer, and must present full credentials for both college and preparatory work and a letter of honorable dismissal. As a gen­ eral rule, students are not admitted to advanced standing later than the beginning of the Sophomore year. Applications of women applicants must be filed by January I. 5Ä SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION GENERAL STA TEM EN T Swarthmore College offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts and the degree of Bachelor of Science. T h e latter is given only in the Division of Engineering; the former, in the Divisions of the Humani­ ties, the Social Sciences, and Mathematics and the Natural Sciences.* Four years of resident study are normally required for the comple­ tion of the work leading to a Bachelor’s degree. The work of the first two years is marked off from that of the last two. During the first two years, all students are expected to com­ plete general College requirements, to choose their major and minor subjects, and to prepare for advanced work in these subjects by tak­ ing certain prerequisites. A student’s normal schedule comprises four fu ll courses a year, each of which represents from ten to twelve hours of work a week, including class meetings and laboratory periods. The program for the last two years affords a choice between two methods of study: Honors W ork, which may lead to a degree with Honors, and General Courses. An honors student concentrates upon three related subjects which he studies by the seminar method; the system will be explained more fully below. A student in General Courses may concentrate somewhat less, and continues to have a schedule of four full courses a year. In addition to scholastic requirements for graduation, all students must meet certain standards of participation in Physical Education as set forth in the statement of that department (see pp. 112, 114) and must attend the Collection exercises of the College (see p. 32). C O U R S E A D V IS E R S The course advisers of freshmen and sophomores are the Deans, in cooperation with the departments in which the students are enrolled as majors. For juniors and seniors the advisers are the chairmen of their major departments or their representatives. P R O G R A M O F T H E F IR S T T W O Y E A R S The general requirements for the first two years include: (a) T w o full courses selected from two of the three Divisions: Humanities, Social Sciences, Mathematics and the Natural Sciences. • F o r grou pin gs o f departm ents see p a ge 18. PROGRAM OF THE LAST TWO YEARS 53 (b) Prerequisites for the work of the last two years in major and minor subjects. (c) Completion of the minimum foreign language requirement. An exceptionally well prepared freshman may demonstrate that he has completed this requirement before entering College by his achieve­ ment in a placement test which he takes at the beginning of his Col­ lege course. The results of the test indicate, however, that most stu­ dents need to devote from one to four semesters to further study of language. The language requirement is explained as follows: Each student will pursue one foreign language to a point equivalent to the completion of Course 2 . Achievement in this course or its equiv­ alent will be measured by a test given in September as an aid to place­ ment, and in January and June at the regular examination periods. A ll students will be required to pass this test in the language which they are offering toward completing the requirement. The standard for admission to Course 2 is such as might reasonably be expected from a student who has had two years’ preparation in the language; the standard for completion or equivalence of Course 2 is such as might be expected from a student who has had four years’ preparation in the language. PROGRAM OF THE LAST TWO YEARS G E N E R A L C O U R SE S The work of the last two years in General Courses must include a major and one minor, both in the same Division, and electives. A t the end of the sophomore year, a student’s choice of his major and minor subjects must be approved by the departments concerned. Each student in General Courses offers for graduation at least four full courses or their equivalent in his major subject and at least three full courses or their equivalent in his minor subject. The completion of sixteen full courses, with a minimum average of C (see p. 6o), normally constitutes the course requirement for a degree in General Courses. A student may carry extra work after the freshman year with the approval of his course adviser and of the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork, provided that his record in the previous year has been satisfactory. In addition to completing his courses, the student at the end of his senior year must pass a comprehensive examination in his major subject, set by the faculty of the major department. 54 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN HONORS W O RK DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM Honors work is a system of instruction designed to free from the limitations of class-room routine those students whose maturity and capacity enable them to do independent work. Students who are chosen toward the end of their sophomore year to read for honors are exempt from the usual course requirements. Instead, during their junior and senior years they study a few subjects intensively and inde­ pendently. They meet their instructors weekly in small seminars lasting about three hours. In these meetings it is customary for stu­ dents to present frequent papers, although the methods of stimulating discussion vary greatly. In scientific subjects additional time is spent in the laboratory. The work is so planned that a student takes two seminars each semester, making a total of eight seminars during his last two years. Departments sometimes permit their major students to prepare a thesis instead of one seminar. Honors work involves a concentration of the student’s efforts upon a limited and integrated field of studies. He chooses seminars in three (or sometimes four) allied subjects, and, customarily devotes at least one half of his time to a single department in the line of his major interest, in which he is expected to demonstrate real achievement. Combinations of seminars are not governed by rigid rules but must be approved by the departments and divisions in which work is taken. Combinations involving seminars from two Divisions must be ap­ proved by the Instruction Committee. No examinations or grades are given from semester to semester.* A t the end of the senior year honors students take written and oral examinations given by ex­ aminers from other institutions.! The student should attain a degree of proficiency which will enable him to meet a rigorous and searching examination. This examination is designed to test his competence in a field of knowledge rather than his mastery of those facts which an instructor has seen fit to present in seminar. This is one of the chief ends for which the system of external examiners has been instituted. The examiners first set a threehour written examination on the subject of each seminar, and after •It is customary for honors students to take practice examinations at the end of the Junior year over the work covered thus far. These papers are read by the instructor concerned and are used as a basis for advice and guidance for the work of the Senior year. fF or list of examiners in May, 1940, see page 57. HONORS WORK 55 reading the written examination have an opportunity to question each student orally, in order to clarify and enlarge the basis of their judg­ ment of the student’s command of his material. Upon recommendation, of the examiners, successful candidates are awarded the bachelor’s degree with honors, with high honors, or with highest honors. Highest honors are awarded only to those who show unusual distinction. W hen the work of a candidate does not, in thé opinion of the examiners, merit honors of any grade, his papers are returned to his instructors, who decide, under rules of the faculty, whether he shall be given a degree in course. Students admitted to honors work who prove unable to meet the requirements or who for other reasons return to regular classes may receive proportional course credit for the work they have done while reading for honors. Regulations governing possible combinations of major and minor subjects in the four divisions appear below. Lists of seminars offered in preparation for examinations follow departmental statements of general courses. R E G U L A T IO N S COMBINATIONS OF MAJORS AND MINORS Division of the Humanities M ajor subjects include English, French, German, Greek, His­ tory, Latin, Philosophy and Psychology: related minor subjects in­ clude those already listed, and Fine Arts. A t least half of the stu­ dent’s time w ill probably be devoted to his major subject, the re­ mainder being divided between two related subjects within the division. Division of the Social Sciences M ajor and minor subjects include Economics, History, Philosophy, Psychology, and Political Science. Students in this division may devote half their time to their major subject, dividing the remainder equally between two related subjects; or they may do an equal amount of work in two departments (one of which is to be designated as the major department) and spend a quarter of their time on another sub­ ject. Division of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences M ajor subjects include Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Zoology ; related minor subjects include the subjects listed, 56 SWARTHMORB COLLEGE BULLETIN and Astronomy and Philosophy. A t least half of the student’s time will probably be devoted to his major subject, with the remainder divided between two other related subjects within the division. Division of Engineering M ajor subjects for honors work in this division include Civil En­ gineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering; a minor may be taken in either or both of the engineering departments in which the student does not have his.major, or in Chemistry, M ath­ ematics, Physics or Economics. A t least one-half of the student’s time will be devoted to his major in engineering. The degree granted is the B.S. in Engineering. The final examination will include papers on the fundamentals of the three professional departments of engineering, four papers on the seminars of the senior year, and one or two additional papers based upon the course which the student has taken, the number of the papers and their subjects to be determined by the faculty of the division. (See pp. 83, 85, 87.) PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION A candidate for admission to an honors division must file his ap­ plication in the spring of his sophomore year with the chairman of his division, and must indicate the particular combination of related subjects on which he wishes to be examined for his degree. His acceptance by the division depends in part upon the quality of his previous work as indicated by the grades he has received but mainly upon his seeming capacity for assuming the responsibility of honors work. The names of successful candidates are announced later in the spring. The major department will then arrange, in consultation with the student, a definite program of subjects to constitute the field of knowledge on which he w ill be examined at the end of his senior year. T h at department is responsible for drawing up the original plan of his work, for supervising his choice of seminars in all departments and for keeping in touch with his progress from semester to semester. The division is responsible for approval of the student’s original pro­ gram and for any subsequent changes in that program. Proposals for combinations of subjects or departments not provided for in the divisional arrangements must be submitted by the division to the In­ struction Committee of the Faculty for final approval.

When illness necessitates absence from classes the student should report at once to the nurses or to the College physicians. T h e last meeting before vacation and the first meeting after vaca­ tion in each course must be attended. The minimum penalty for violation of this rule is probation: for absence at Thanksgiving, pro­ bation until the end of the semester; for absence at Christmas, pro­ bation until spring vacation; for absence at Washington’s Birthday, probation until M ay I ; and for absence at spring vacation, probation for the rest of the year. The exact definition of probation in individual cases is left to the Deans with the understanding that it shall include attendance at all classes without cuts. Absences from Collection are acted upon by the Deans as instructed by the Collection Committee of the Faculty. A ll students are allowed two absences from Collection each semester. GRADES Instructors report to the Dean’s office at intervals during the year upon the work of students in Courses. Informal reports during the semester take the form of comments on unsatisfactory work. A t the end of each semester formal grades are given in each course under the letter system, by which A means excellent w ork; B means good w ork; C means fair work; D means poor work, and E shows failure. W signifies withdrawn and Cond. signifies conditioned in the course. Reports are sent to parents and to students at the end of each semester. For graduation in General Courses, a C average is required; for graduation in Honors work, the recommendation of the external exam­ iners. (See p. 54-) C O N D IT IO N S The mark “ conditioned” indicates either ( i ) that a student has done unsatisfactory work in the first half of a course, but by creditable work during the second half may earn a passing grade for the full course, and thereby remove his condition; (2) that a student’s work is incomplete in respect to specific assignments or examinations; when he completes it, he w ill remove his condition. FACULTY REGULATIONS 6l Conditions of both types must normally be made up in the semester immediately following that in which they were incurred; for the re­ moval of conditions of type (2), a date is set at the end of the first six weeks of each semester when make-up examinations must be sched­ uled and late papers submitted. Under special circumstances involving a use of laboratories or attendance at courses not immediately avail­ able, a student may secure permission to extend the time for making up a condition until the second semester following. Any condition not made up within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter be recorded as E , i. e., complete failure, which cannot be made up. E X A M IN A T IO N S Any student who is absent from an examination, announcement of which was made in advance, shall be given an examination at another hour only by special arrangement with the instructor in charjge of the course. No examination in absentia shall be permitted. This rule shall be interpreted to mean that instructors shall give examinations only at the college and under direct departmental supervision. SU M M ER SCH O O L W ORK Students desiring to transfer credit from a summer school are re­ quired to obtain the endorsement of the chairman of the department concerned before entering upon the work, and after completing the work are required to pass an examination set by the Swarthmore de­ partment. R E G U L A T IO N S G O V E R N IN G R E S ID E N C E A ll men students except freshmen choose their rooms in order determined by lot. A ll freshmen, both men and women, are assigned to rooms by the Deans in order of date of application for admission. Upper class women have a preferential system carried out by a com­ mittee of students and members of the administrative staff. In September, students are not admitted to the dormitories before the day preceding registration except by special permission in advance from the Deans. T h e College dining-room is closed during the Christmas and spring recesses. T h e College dormitories are closed during the Christmas recess. Students leaving property in any College building during the summer recess do so at their own risk. Ó2 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN All freshmen must leave the College immediately after their last examination in the spring in order that their rooms may be used by Commencement visitors. R E G U L A T IO N A G A IN S T AT M A IN T E N A N C E OF A U T O M O B IL E S SW AR TH M O R E By action of the Faculty, approved by the Board of Managers, un­ dergraduates are forbidden to maintain automobiles at the College or in the Borough of Swarthmore. The regulation is as follows: Resident students are not allowed to keep automobiles on the cam­ pus or in the Borough of Swarthmore. The rule prohibits equally the keeping of automobiles owned by students and those owned by other persons but placed in the custody or control of students. Day students may use cars in commuting to college. Under exceptional circumstances, a student may obtain permission from one of the Deans to keep an automobile in the Borough for a limited time. Parentsandstudentsmust realize that thisregulationwill bestrictly enforced; students who do not observe it will be asked to withdraw fromCollege. E X C L U S IO N FROM COLLEGE The College reserves the right to exclude at any time students whose conduct or academic standing it regards as undesirable, and without assigning any further reason therefor; in such cases the fees due or which may have been paid in advance to the College will not be refunded or remitted, in whole or in part, and neither the College nor any of its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion. EXPENSES 63 EXPENSES The charge for tuition is $400 a year, payable in advance. The charge for residence at the College is $500 a year, of which half is payable at the beginning of each semester. There is a uniform labora­ tory and activities fee of $25 per semester, which covers both academic and extra-curricular College activities and supersedes all separate fees formerly charged. A deposit of $50 is required of each student, pay­ able in advance, to cover incidental bills. Charges for the year are therefore made as follows: First semester: Tuition ................................... $400 Residence............................. 250 5° Deposit for incidental b ills ........................................ F e e s .............................................................................. 25 Total first semester charges.............................. $725 Second semester: Residence..................................................................... $250 F e e s .............................................................................. 25 Total second semester ch arges......................... 275 $1000 The first payment by all students is due not later than Registration Day. Bills for the first payment are mailed before the opening of the College year, and for the second payment about the first of January. Payments should be made by check or draft to the order of S W A R T H M O R E C O L L E G E . In case bills for the first semester are not paid by November 1, and bills for the second semester by March 1, students owing such bills may be excluded from all College exercises. No reduction or refunding of the tuition charge can be made on account of absence, illness or dismissal during the year. If a student shall withdraw or be absent from College for any reason, there will be no reduction or refund because of failure to occupy the room as­ signed for that semester. In case of illness or absence for other reasons from the College for six weeks or more, there will be a proportionate reduction for board, provided that notice be given to the Comptroller 64 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN at the time of withdrawal. Fees cannot be refunded for any reason whatever. Students may charge incidental bills, including purchases at the College bookstore, laundry, telephone and room breakage, against the $50 deposit. When this deposit has been exhausted a new deposit w ill be required immediately. Any unused balance is returned at the end of the year. The funds used in paying for scholarships are derived from the income of the endowment fund and are received from time to time during the year. Students receiving these benefits w ill have the amount deducted from their bill due on January 1. Should the amount of the scholarship exceed the amount of the January bill, it will be deducted from the bill for the entire year, the balance becoming due in September. Special students who enroll for less than the prescribed number of courses will be charged $50 per half course.

Johnson There are three departments of Engineering: Civil, Electrical and Mechanical. These departments cooperate in a program of ( i ) in­ troductory courses, taken normally by Freshman and Sophomore en­ gineers,; (2) general courses, open to all students in the College. Each department offers also its own separate program of advanced work. An engineering student devotes about half his time to engineering courses; the other half he divides between basic sciences, such as physics and mathematics, and the non-technical fields useful for a liberal edu­ cation. During their first three years, all engineering students follow the schedule'of courses outlined below. During the sophomore year stu­ dents may elect Course 8, Principles of Electrical Engineering. Those who propose to major in electrical engineering should take this course. Those students whose ability in the field of mathematics and the natural sciences is marked, and those who intend to go on into gradu­ ate work, should take an additional course in mathematics in the junior year; those students whose greatest interest lies in administra­ tion, operation, or management of engineering enterprises should choose their fourth course in the field of economics or industrial management. A ll students devote their last two years: (1) to developing their special interests; ( 2 ) to fulfilling the major requirements of one of the departments of Engineering; (3) to certain basic courses re­ quired of all engineers. (For details see pp. 83, 85, 87.) Engineering students qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. •Absent on leave.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 83 M a j o r i n C iv il E n g in e e r in g The curriculum for the first three years for a student who plans to major in civil engineering is given on page 79. The courses which must be taken in the Senior year are: 23. 25. 41. 24. Structural Theory and Design Civil Engineering Option Heat Power Engineering Engineering Economy Since Heat Power Engineering and Engineering Economy are half courses, one-quarter of the student’s time in the Senior year is open, and he may elect any course in the Division of Engineering, Division of the Social Sciences, or Division of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences to complete his program. This elective must receive the approval of his course adviser and must be related to his course as a whole. The fundamental theory of the Four Course Plan, under which the college is operating, is that the student shall confine his efforts to not more than four subjects at the same time. Therefore the two courses, Structural Theory and Design, No. 23, and Civil Engineer­ ing Option, No. 25, are broad in scope. Course 23 includes a review of fundamental mechanics and continues with the computation of stresses, and the design of structures in steel, wood and concrete. Course 25 may include highway engineering, soil mechanics and foun­ dations, hydrology, water supply, sewage disposal and sewerage sys­ tems. The subject matter is varied in content and emphasis to meet the needs and interests of different groups. The subjects mentioned are taken up in series, making it possible to avoid repetition and increase the efficiency of the teaching. H o n o r s i n C iv il E n g in e e r in g Senior students, having completed their junior year as outlined above, may apply to read for honors. The topics of final examinations in civil engineering are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Analytic Mechanics and Strength of Materials Structural Theory Municipal Engineering Reinforced Concrete Soil Mechanics and Foundations The fundamental ideal of the work in honors is to encourage each student to go as far as he is capable in some one phase of civil engineer­ ing. He is urged to make himself familiar with all the latest develop­ ments in that field so that he may realize that engineering science is a SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN 8+ living, growing profession, and that he may well spend his best energies to further that growth. A major in civil engineering will take eight honors examinations, at least three of which shall be from the above list; at least one in electrical engineering; at least one in mechanical engineering, and the remainder in engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry or the social sciences.

M a j o r in E l e c t r ic a l E n g in e e r in g The general plan is that from the subjects listed above, and by courses offered elsewhere in the college, the student will work out a logically integrated, cognate, intensive study of one or more phases of the theory of electrical engineering. It is expected that a student majoring in electrical engineering will have taken Engineering 8 in the second semester of his sophomore year. Other courses which must be taken to fulfill the requirements COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 85 for the Bachelor of Science with major in electrical engineering include: (1) General science subjects as listed under the general statement of the Division of Engineering, pages 78 ff. These subjects are pursued in the first three years in classes with the students in other branches of engineering, and are considered the essential foundation for all studying applied science. (2 } Subjects in the Divisions of the Humanities or Social Sciences. A t least three subjects not offered in the scientific division must be taken over the period of the four college years. The choice is op­ tional, the only requirement being that the three courses should form a rational whole. (3) Additional subjects in allied scientific departments. Advanced calculus and differential equations are required for electrical engineer­ ing majors; in addition all or part of the following courses will be recommended for certain students: 41. Heat Power Engineering 24. Engineering Economy Electricity and Magnetism Atomic Physics (4) M ajor studies in electrical engineering. According to the time available and the needs of the individual, one, at least, of the following “ options” w ill be taken in the senior year: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. Transients Vacuum Tubes Alternating Current Machinery Transmission and Distribution Circuit Analysis. H o n o r s i n E l e c t r ic a l E n g in e e r in g For senior engineering students who have been accepted for honors work, there are offered honors seminars preparing them for examina­ tion papers in: 1. Electric Circuit Analysis 2. Electronics 3. Alternating Current Machines Honors students majoring in electrical engineering take: ( 1 ) N ot less than three nor more than four papers in electrical engineering, (2) A t least one paper each in civil and mechanical engineering. (3) Papers in other departments in which honors work has been taken in the junior or senior years, to make a total of at least eight examinations. 86 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN M e c h a n i c a l E n g in e e r in g C harles G.

Student organizations and informal groups for practice in creative writing, acting drama, extempore speaking, and debating meet with members of the English faculty. H onors W o r k Prerequisites. For admission to Honors work with a major in Eng­ lish, the requirements are at least one-half course in the Introduction to English Studies; and either Chaucer, Shakespeare, or Milton and the Seventeenth Century. Students are advised to take also The History of Europe or The History of England. For admission with a minor in English, the requirement is one year in English, including at least one-half course in the Introduction to English Studies.

T h e objective in Courses 1 and 2 is an ability to read German of moderate difficulty, to enjoy and to appreciate German literature of an easier type, and to speak and write simple German. T o attain this end it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge of grammar and a reasonably large active and passive vocabulary. These courses are also recommended to science students who have a genuine inter­ est in German language and literature. Science students who are mainly interested in acquiring a reading knowledge of German should take Courses is and 2s. The more advanced courses are intended to add knowledge and appreciation of literature, and a command of the written and spoken idiom. M ajor and Honors students are encouraged to spend some time in Germany. Practically all courses, with the exception of is and 2s (and 11), are conducted in German. Special arrangements are made for students who begin with Ger­ man in college to enable them to choose German as a major or minor subject in their Junior and Senior years. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 95 H onors W o r k Prerequisites. For admission to Honors work in German, one course in college beyond Course 2 is required. Qualified students who begin German in college may take Course 3 in their Sophomore year by special arrangement. Other preparation is not required. The German Department may, however, in individual cases, recommend special Work during the summer vacations or courses in American or German summer schools. Topics of Final Examinations. Honors seminars are offered pre­ paring students for examination papers in: 1. Middle High German Literature and Philology. Mr. Reuning. Second semester.

H onors W o r k The survey course in European history, the only course open to Freshmen (except by special permission from the department), is prerequisite to any other courses or seminars in European or English history. Students who expect to major in history, either in honors seminars or in regular courses, should elect European history in the Freshman year, American and English history in the Sopho­ more year. Students who expect to include history as a minor sub­ ject in honors work should elect European history in Freshman year, and either American or English history in Sophomore year if possible. Course 2, the History of England, is required for admission to honors seminars in Modern England, and Course 3, the History of the United States, is required for admission to Honors seminars in American history, unless special permission is obtained in advance. Unless otherwise noted, the following seminars are offered by the department each year. Although an endeavor will be made to offer in either semester any seminar desired by a sufficient number of stu­ dents, this will occasionally prove impossible and the department cannot guarantee in advance the semesters in which some seminars w ill be given.

For prerequisites see the statement of that department. IOO SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN H is t o r y T h e s is For students with the major subject in history. The topic should be selected and approved by the end of the junior year. Whenever possible, the thesis should be based upon original source materials. R e q u ir e m e n t s f o r W o r k i n C o u r s e Requirements for students who elect major or minor work in history do not turn on any particular total of courses, but rather upon the completion of such courses in history, together with related courses in the social sciences, literature, philosophy,- the fine arts, etc., as, in the opinion of the department, w ill facilitate a wellrounded preparation for their comprehensive examinations. A read­ ing knowledge of French and some acquaintance with the principles of economic and political theory are essential for an intelligent appre­ ciation of history. Most graduate schools require a reading knowledge of French, German, and Latin for any advanced degree in history. T h e comprehensive examinations for major students at the end of the senior year are not based on particular courses taken at Swarthmore. They include questions on ( i ) European history; (2) English history; (3) American history; (4) Ancient history. M ajor students are expected to answer general questions in each of these fields, the standard being based on the work of any survey course offered in the College or independent reading in books recommended by the depart­ ment. In at least two of the fields students should be able to answer more specific questions, based either on special courses taken in the College or on special reading undertaken with the department’s ap­ proval. Course 12, Special Topics, is designed to help major students in their final preparation for these examinations. - 152529 - IOI COURSES OF INSTRUCTION M A T H E M A T IC S A N D A S T R O N O M Y P rofessors: A rnold D resden, Chairman Ross W .

Advanced Calculus. This seminar deals with the differential calculus for functions of several variables and its geometric applications, with double and triple integrals, improper integrals, line and surface integrals, the elements of vector analysis. 2. Differential Equations. In this seminar the principal topics are the following: ordinary differential equations of the first order, linear differential equations, with particular attention to special cases of the equation of second order; some aspects of the theory of partial differential equations, of Fourier series, of the calculus of variations and of functions of a complex variable. For senior honors students two or more of the following seminars are offered each year, according to the needs and interests of the students. 3. Theory of Equations. This seminar is devoted to the study of alge­ braic equations. The topics covered are the following: Properties of poly­ nomials, solution of cubic and quartic equations, numerical solution of equations, Sturm’s theorem and related theorems, symmetric functions, result­ ants, application to geometrical problems. 4. Solid Analytic Geometry. In this seminar the analytic geometry of 3dimensional space is studied, along with the algebraic tools that are necessary for that purpose. The subjects taken up are: Determinants, matrices, systems of linear equations, lines and planes, transformation of coordinates, quadric surfaces, classification of the general equation of the second degree, special properties of quadric surfaces, such as rulings and circular sections, system of quadric surfaces. 5. Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable. A fairly detailed study of the linear fractional transformation in the complex plane. Derivatives and integrals of analytic functions. Expansion in series. Contour integrals. 6. Foundations of Mathematics. Postulational treatment of mathematics. The problem of consistency. Relation of logic and mathematics. Some of the systematic treatments of the foundation of logic. Modern developments. 7. Advanced Geometry. An introduction to differential geometry, projective geometry, and more-dimensional geometry. Use of elementary matrix calculus; group theoretical concepts. 8. Mathematics of Economics. A study is to be made of elementary mathematical theories which are finding application in economics. The elements of statistical theory are to be included. 9. Theory of Numbers. Among the subjects treated in this seminar are: Elementary properties of integers, the congruence relation, continued fractions, quadratic residues, simple examples of fields of algebraic num­ bers. ro. Analytic Mechanics. The main subject matter of this seminar is the study of the motion of particles and rigid bodies when acted upon by forces. The equilibrium of such forces will be studied briefly. Many examples will be worked to illustrate the fundamental principles. 10 5 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION H onors Seminars in A stronomy Seminars in the following topics will be arranged for those desiring to take one or more papers in Astronomy. 1.

Those who intend to pursue astronomy as a major subject in course should have in addition courses 1, 2 in that subject during the Freshman or Sophomore year; advanced courses selected from the list given above combined with work in mathematics constitute the further requirement. For students who select mathematics or astronomy as their minor, the minimum of three courses should be selected from the following: Mathematics i, 2; 11, 12; 14, 15; 16, 17 ; Astronomy 1, 2, 3. Com­ pletion of course 12 is the minimum requirement. Prerequisites for admission to honors seminars in mathematics either as a major or as a minor are the completion of courses 1, 2; 11, 12; the completion of the course in General Physics; a thorough reading knowledge of French or German. For honors work in Astronomy, completion of courses 1, 2 in that subject is necessary in addition to the requirements indicated above. io6 SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN L ib r a r ie s a n d O b s e r v a t o r y The astronomical part of the departmental library is located on the first floor of the Observatory; the mathematical section on the fifth floor of Parrish Hall. T h e Library contains complete sets of nearly all the American mathematical and astronomical periodicals, and sets (some of which are complete, some of which are not) of the leading English, German and French periodicals. This library receives the publications of many of the leading observatories in exchange for the publication of the Sproul Observatory. The equipment of the observatory is best suited for astrometric and photometric problems. The various eclipse expeditions from the Ob­ servatory have yielded many eclipse data. The observatory staff is at present devoting time to studies in photo­ graphic astrometry with the 24-inch telescope, to photography with the 9-1‘nch doublet, and to the study of the eclipses of the sun. Stu­ dents interested in any of these problems may work with advantage in conjunction with one of the professors. Results of departmental studies are published in the Sproul Observatory publications and in various scientific journals. The Observatory is open to visitors on the second and fourth Tuesday nights of each month, except those Tuesday nights that fall in a vacation period. Visitors thus have an opportunity of seeing, in the course of a year, many celestial objects of various types. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 107 M U S IC A ssociate P rofessor: A lfred J.

H o n o r s W o r k Philosophy is a subject that has proved particularly well adapted to study by the honors method, and advanced w ork'in it is done chiefly through honors seminars. Prerequisites: For admission to honors study in philosophy, the requirement is at least two semester courses in the field. It is strongly recommended that one of these be the Introduction to Philosophy (course 2). Students who do not take this course should consult their instructors to make sure that their combinations will be acceptable as prerequisites for honors work.

The minimum requirement is one hour of sports participation on each of two days per week, with at least one team sport each week. It is the aim of the department to offer every student an opportunity to participate in a variety of activities regularly; to broaden his social contacts with other students and receive the valuable benefits of sports, such as training in leadership, self-discipline, morale, unselfish­ ness, and health habits; and to develop carry-over sports that he will continue to enjoy after he leaves college. A student who has not satisfied his requirement in Physical Educa­ tion, w ill be refused admission to the Junior class. Juniors and Seniors who have fulfilled Freshman and Sophomore requirements may elect to continue participation in the Sports Education program.

Therefore this department aims to provide opportunities for instruc­ tion and participation in sports and dancing; to encourage apprecia­ tion of rhythm and design, of sportsmanship, of good coordination and poise and of outdoor activity; and finally to lay the foundations of a program that can be continued after «graduation. Classes are kept small to insure individual attention, and students are grouped according to ability. Ample opportunities are given for intramural and intercollegiate competition, as well as for public per­ formances and demonstrations. Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors take three periods of activity each week. These may be elected from the list below, with the exception that Freshmen are required to take one period of swimming in the fall. Seniors may take two hours of any activity each week without signing up for instruction classes. A ll Seniors are required to pass a safety test in swimming before graduation. Regulation costumes should be ordered before college opens. Blanks for this purpose w ill be sent out from the Office of the Dean to all incoming students. COU RSES FOR W OM EN Sports I.
