It is a small col­ lege by deliberate policy. Its present enrollment is about 1150 stu­ dents, of whom 525 are women and 625 are men. The borough of Swarthmore is a residential suburb within half an hour’s commuting distance of Philadelphia. Because of its location, Swarthmore College students are able to combine the advantages of a semi-rural setting with the opportunities offered by Philadelphia. Especially valuable is the cooperation made possible with three other nearby institutions, Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges and the University of Pennsyl­ vania. OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSES In accordance with the traditions of its Quaker background, Swarthmore students are expected to prepare themselves for full, balanced lives as individuals and as responsible citizens through ex­ acting intellectual study supplemented by a varied program of sports and other extra-curricular activities. The purpose of Swarthmore College is to make its students more valuable human beings and more useful members of society. It shares this purpose with other educational institutions, for American educa­ tion is a direct outgrowth of our democratic principles. While a com­ mon purpose underlies all American education, each school and col­ lege and university seeks to realize that purpose in its own way. Each must select those tasks it can do best. Only by such selection can it contribute to the diversity and richness of educational opportunity which is part of the American heritage and the American strength. 9 INTRODUCTION STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE Democracy demands a broad base of intelligent understanding of issues. It also necessitates a high order of excellence in those who are destined to become its leaders. Swarthmore can best serve society by the maintenance of high standards. It is peculiarly fitted by tradition and performance for this essential role, and it is precisely this readi­ ness to do a particular job well that gives the College its value in the educational pattern of American democracy. Education is largely an individual matter, for no two students are exactly alike. Some need detailed help, while others profit from con­ siderable freedom. The program of Honors study, in which Swarth­ more pioneered, is designed to give recognition to this fact. It is the most distinctive feature of the College’s educational program. For many students, it provides an enriching and exciting intellectual expe­ rience. It has as its main ingredients freedom from ordinary class­ room routine and close association with faculty members in small seminars, concentrated work in broad fields of study, and maximum latitude for the development of individual responsibility. The Honors program and the Course program are alternative systems of instruc­ tion for students during their last two years. Both are designed to evoke the maximum effort and development from each student, the choice of method being determined by individual need and capacity. TH E REL IG IO US T R A D I T I O N Swarthmore College was founded by members of the Religious So­ ciety of Friends, and it seeks to illuminate the life of its students with the spiritual principles of that Society. Although it has been non-sec­ tarian in control since the beginning of the present century, and al­ though the children of Friends compose a minority of the student body, the College seeks to preserve the religious traditions out of which it sprang. The essence of Quakerism is the individual’s responsibility for seeking truth and for applying whatever truth he believes he has found. As a way of life, it emphasizes hard work, simple living, and generous giving; personal integrity, social justice, and the peaceful settlement of disputes. The College does not seek to impose on its stu­ dents this Quaker view of life, or any other specific set of convictions about the nature of things and the duty of man. It does, however, have the two-fold aim of encouraging conscious concern about such questions and unceasing re-examination of any view which may be 10 INTRODUCTION held regarding them. That is the kind of ethical and religious charac­ ter which Swarthmore seeks to develop. T R A D I T I O N AND CHANGE A college is never static. Its purposes and policies are always changing to meet new demands and new conditions. The founders of Swarthmore would find in it today many features which they never contemplated when they shaped the College in the middle of the nine­ teenth century. Swarthmore, if it is to remain effective, must be for­ ever changing. The goal is to achieve for each generation, by means appropriate to the times, that unique contribution and that standard of excellence which have been the guiding ideals of Swarthmore from its founding. In the spring and summer of 1966 a Commission on Educational Policy and two other special committees were appointed to study var­ ious aspects of the College program and to seek ways of strengthening the educational experiences of Swarthmore students. Their reports, including many specific recommendations, were published in the vol­ ume, Critique of a College, which appeared in December 1967. Dur­ ing the rest of the college year these reports and recommendations were carefully considered by all sections of the College community. Many of the specific recommendations have been approved and are being carried into effect. 11 E D U C A T IO N A L RESOURCES PHYSICAL FAC IL IT IE S The primary educational resources of any college are the quality of its faculty and the spirit of the institution. Second to these are the physical facilities, in particular the libraries, laboratories and equip­ ment. Laboratories, well equipped for undergraduate instruction and in some cases for research, exist in physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, psychology, astronomy, and in civil, mechanical and electrical engi­ neering. The Sproul Observatory, with its 24-inch visual refracting telescope, is the center of much fundamental research in multiple star systems. The Edward Martin Biological Laboratory provides facili­ ties for work in psychology, zoology, botany, and pre-medical studies. The Pierre S. du Pont Science Building, completed in 1960, provides accommodations for chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Beardsley and Hicks Halls contain the engineering laboratories. The Language Laboratory in Beardsley Hall, made possible by a contribution from the James Foundation of New York, was installed in 1964. It provides stations for 35 students and has the equipment for effective use in language teaching. The Arts Center, opened in 1961, contains the Paul M. Pearson Experimental Theater, the Florence Wilcox Lobby for art exhibitions, the Dorothy Hunt Music Room, and studios for various arts and crafts. The Computer Center, located in Beardsley Hall, is furnished with an IBM 1130 computer and appropriate supporting equipment. It is available to students and faculty members for research and instruc­ tion, and its use by students is encouraged. Students and faculty members also have access to the facilities of the Haverford-Bryn Mawr Computer Center, including an IBM 360/44 computer, which is connected by telephone with the Swarthmore Center. The Bartol Research Foundation of the Franklin Institute, which is 12 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES also located on the campus, enjoys an international reputation for its basic research activities in physics, particularly in the fields of nuclear physics, cosmic radiation, solid state physics, and astronomy. Through its affiliation with Thomas Jefferson University, Bartol offers a program of study leading to the Ph.D. degree. The Thomas B. and Jeannette E. L. McCabe Library contains read­ ing rooms, offices and the major portion of the College library collec­ tion. Total College library holdings amount to 350,000 volumes. Some 12,000 volumes are added annually. About 1,500 periodicals are received regularly. The general collection, including all but the scientific and technical books and journals, is housed in the library building, situated on the front campus. The Du Pont Science Library, new in 1960, houses some 26,100 books and journals in chemistry, engineering, mathematics and physics. The library is definitely a collection of books and journals for undergraduate use. The demands of Honors work, however, make necessary the provision of large quantities of source material not usually found in collections main­ tained for undergraduates. It is a point of library policy to try to supply, either by purchase or through inter-library loan, the books needed by students or members of the faculty for their individual research. SPECIAL COL LE CTI ONS In addition, the library contains certain special collections—the British Americana collection, the Wells Wordsworth and Thomson collections, the Auden collection, the Bathe collection of technologi­ cal history, and a collection of the issuances of 565 private presses. A number of special features enrich the academic background of the college. Among these are the following: The Friends Historical Library, founded in 1871 by Anson Lapham, is one of the outstanding collections in the United States of man­ uscripts, books, pamphlets, and pictures relating to the history of the Society of Friends. The library is a depository for records of Friends Meetings belonging to Baltimore, Philadelphia, and other Yearly Meetings. More than 3,200 record books have been deposited; many of them have been reproduced on microfilm, for which four reading machines are available. The William Wade Hinshaw Index to Quaker Meeting Records indexes the material of genealogical interest in the records of 307 meetings in various parts of the United States. Notable among the other holdings are the Whittier Collection (first 13 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES editions and manuscripts of John Greenleaf Whittier, the Quaker poet), the Mott Manuscripts (over 400 autograph letters of Lucretia Mott, antislavery and women’s rights leader), and the Hicks Manu­ scripts (more than 300 letters of Elias Hicks, a famous Quaker min­ ister) . The Library’s collection of books and pamphlets by and about Friends numbers approximately 30,000 volumes. About 93 Quaker periodicals are currently received. There is also an extensive collec­ tion of photographs of meetinghouses and pictures of representative Friends, as well as a number of oil paintings, including two versions of “The Peaceable Kingdom” by Edward Hicks. It is hoped that Friends and others will consider the advantages of giving to this Library any books and family papers which may throw light on the history of the Society of Friends. The Swarthmore College Peace Collection is of special interest to research students and others seeking the records of the Peace Move­ ment. The personal papers of Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, (approximately 10,000 items) formed the original nucleus of the Col­ lection, which now contains documentation on the history of the or­ ganized peace movement from its beginnings circa 1815 to the present time, as well as correspondence and writings of many workers for international peace and arbitration. The Collection includes files of some 1,200 peace periodicals published in the United States and abroad over the past 150 years; approximately 154 such periodicals in eleven languages are currently received from twenty-one countries. This collection is the official depository for the archives of leading peace organizations in the United States. A more nearly complete description of the Collection will be found in the Guide to the Swarth­ more College Peace Collection, published by the College and avail­ able on request. 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 recorded music available to the undergraduates, faculty, and friends of Swarth­ more College, in cooperation with the work of the college Department of Music. The collection is kept up to date with current additions. The Potter Collection of Recorded Literature, established in 1950 with accumulated income from the William Plumer Potter Public Speaking Fund, includes a wide variety of recorded poetry, drama and prose. Among the 700 titles on disc and tape are contemporary 14 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES writers reading from and discussing their works; full length versions of Shakespearean plays and other dramatic repertoire; the literature of earlier periods read both in modern English and in the pronuncia­ tion of the time; British and American ballads; lyrical verse in musi­ cal settings; and recordings of literary programs held at Swarthmore. These materials are used as adjuncts to the study of literature. The collection is housed in the McCabe Library. The Betty Dougherty Spock Memorial Fund, established through the generosity of friends of the late member of the Class of 1952, pro­ vides income for the purchase of dramatic recordings. These are kept with the Potter Collection. SPECIAL FUNDS AND LECTURESHIPS The William J. Cooper Foundation provides a varied program of lectures and concerts which enriches the academic work of the col­ lege. The Foundation was established by William J. Cooper, a de­ voted friend of the college, whose wife, Emma Mcllvain Cooper, served as a member of the Board of Managers from 1882 to 1923. Mr. Cooper bequeathed to the college the sum of $100,000 and pro­ vided that the income should be used “in bringing to the college from time to time eminent citizens of this and other countries who are lead­ ers in statesmanship, education, the arts, sciences, learned professions and business, in order that the faculty, students and the college com­ munity may be broadened by a closer acquaintance with matters of world interest.” Admission to all programs is without charge. The Cooper Foundation Committee works with the departments and with student organizations in arranging single lectures and concerts, and also in bringing to the college speakers of note who remain in res­ idence for a long enough period to enter into the life of the commu­ nity. Some of these speakers have been invited with the understanding that their lectures should be published under the auspices of the Foundation. This arrangement has so far produced sixteen volumes: Lindsay, Alexander Dunlop. The Essentials of Democracy. Phila­ delphia, University of Pennsylvania Press, 1929. Lowes, John Livingston.

About three hun­ dred 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 horticultural and botanical collection of 16 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants through the provisions of the Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural Foundation, established in 1929 by Mrs. Arthur Hoyt Scott and Owen and Margaret Moon as a memorial to Arthur Hoyt Scott of the Class of 1895. The plant collections are designed both 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, and to beautify the campus. There are exceptionally fine displays of Jap­ anese cherries, flowering crab apples, magnolias and tree peonies, and a great variety of lilacs, rhododendrons, azaleas, daffodils, irises, herbaceous peonies, and hemerocallis. Many donors have contrib­ uted generously to the collections. (For full information see Bulletin of Swarthmore College, Vol. xxxvii, No. 5.) The Boyd and Ruth Barnard Fund for the Advancement of Music at Swarthmore was established in 1964 by two graduates of the Col­ lege, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd T. Barnard of Rosemont, Pennsylvania. The income from the fund may be used for any activity that contributes to the advancement of music at the college. It has been used, for exam­ ple, for concerts on the campus, for the purchase of vocal and orches­ tral scores and other musical literature, and to provide scholarships for students in the Department of Music who show unusual promise as instrumentalists or vocalists. Since 1966 part of the fund has been used to bring to the campus two Associates in Performance who di­ rect the chamber music coaching program in the Department of Mu­ sic and give weekly concerts of chamber music. The Gene D. Overstreet Memorial Fund, given by friends in mem­ ory of Gene D. Overstreet (1924-1965), a member of the Political Science Department, 1957-1964, provides income to bring a visiting expert to the campus to discuss problems of developing or moderniz­ ing nations and cultures. The Benjamin West Lecture, made possible by gifts from members of the class of 1905 and other friends of the College, is given annually on some phase of art. It is the outgrowth of the Benjamin West Soci­ ety which built up a collection of paintings, drawings, and prints, which are exhibited, as space permits, in the college buildings.

GENERAL STATEMENT In the selection of students the college seeks those qualities of char­ acter, social responsibility, and intellectual capacity which it is pri­ marily concerned to develop. It seeks them, not in isolation, but as essential elements in the whole personality of candidates for admis­ sion. It is the policy of the college to have the student body represent not only different parts of the United States but many foreign countries, both public and private secondary schools, and various economic, social, religious, and racial groups. The college is also concerned to include in each class sons and daughters of alumni and of members of the Society of Friends. Selection is important and difficult. No simple formula will be ef­ fective. The task is to choose those who give promise of distinction in the quality of their personal lives, in service to the community, or in leadership in their chosen fields. Swarthmore College must choose its students on the basis of their individual future worth to society and of their collective realization of the purpose of the college. Admission to the freshman class is normally based upon the satis­ factory completion of a four-year secondary school program prepara­ tory to advanced liberal study. Under exceptional circumstances, students who have virtually completed the normal four-year program in three years will be considered for admission, provided they meet the competition of other candidates in general maturity as well as readiness for a rigorous academic program. All applicants are selected on the following evidence: 1. Record in secondary school. 21 ADMISSION 2. Recommendations from the school principal, headmaster, or guidance counselor and from two teachers. 3. Rating in the Scholastic Aptitude Test and in three Achievement Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board. 4. Personal interview with one of the Deans or an appointed rep­ resentative. 5. Reading and experience, both in school and out. Applicants must have satisfactory standing in school, and in aptitude and achievement tests, and should show strong intellectual interests. They should also give evidence of sturdiness of character, promise of growth, initiative, seriousness of purpose, and a sense of social re­ sponsibility. As future members of the college community, they should represent varied interests and backgrounds. PR EP A RA T IO N The College does not require a set plan of secondary school courses as preparation for its program. The election of specific subjects is left to the student and his school advisers. In general, preparation should include: 1. Skills: The following skills are essential to success in college work and should be brought to a high level by study and prac­ tice throughout the preparatory period. a. The use of the English language with accuracy and effective­ ness in reading, writing, and speaking. b. The use of the principles of mathematics. c. The use of one, or two, foreign languages to the point of read­ ing prose of average difficulty. The College encourages stu­ dents to study at least one language for four years, if possible. 2. Subjects: All, or almost all, of the preparatory course should be composed of the subjects listed in the following four groups. Variations of choice and emphasis are acceptable although some work should be taken in each group. History and Social Studies: African, American, Asian, English, European, and ancient history; political, social, and economic problems of modern society. Literature and Art: American, English, and foreign literature; music; art. Natural Science and Mathematics: chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy; algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. 22 ADMISSION Those planning to major in engineering should present work in chemistry, physics, and four years of mathematics includ­ ing algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Languages: English, Latin, Greek, German, French, Spanish, Russian, other European or Oriental languages. Applicants should present the strongest possible command of at least one foreign language. A P P L IC A T I O N S AND EX AMI NA TIO NS Applications must be initiated prior to January 15, and all appli­ cations must be completed by February 1. A personal information form will be sent upon request, and this form should be returned promptly, together with the non-refundable application fee of $20.00. The College then sends the remainder of the application materials. Applicants are encouraged to complete their applications to the Col­ lege as early in the fall of their senior year as possible. Although Swarthmore does not have an “early decision” program, preliminary readings of completed applications are made at an early date to deter­ mine regional and national award winners. All applicants for freshman admission are required to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test and three Achievement Tests given by the College Entrance Examination Board. English Composition is re­ quired and the other two Achievement Tests should be selected from two different fields. Applicants for Engineering must take one Achievement Test in Mathematics. Applicants should take the Scholastic Aptitude Test in November, December, or January of the senior year. Candidates who take Achievement Tests before the senior year may submit the results to the Admissions Office, but it is strongly recommended that the English Composition and at least one other Achievement Test be taken in December or January of the senior year. Neither the Scholastic Aptitude Test nor the Achievement Tests may be taken later than January of the senior year. In 1970-71 these tests will be given in various centers throughout this country on November 7, December 5, January 9, March 6, April 17, and July 10. The tests will be given abroad on each of these dates except November 7. Application to take these tests should be made directly to the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Prince­ ton, New Jersey 08540. A bulletin of information may be obtained without charge from the Board.

THE IN T E R V I E W An admissions interview with a representative of the College is a requirement in making application to Swarthmore. Applicants are ex­ pected to take the initiative in arranging for this interview. Those who can reach Swarthmore with no more than a half day’s trip are urged to make an appointment to visit the College for this purpose.* Other applicants should request the Office of Admissions to arrange a meet­ ing with an alumni representative in their own area. Interviews should be completed before March 1 of the senior year. Scholarship applicants should make an effort to have their interviews by January 1. Candidates are not interviewed until the latter part of the junior year. Candidates will not be able to have campus interviews from March 1 to May 1 but a tour of the campus may be arranged during this period. Appointments at the College can be made by calling or writing the Office of Admissions, 215-KI 4-7900, Ext. 445.

Deci­ sions are made by the departments concerned. Every effort is made to place students in the most advanced courses for which they are qualified. A PPL IC ATI ON S FOR TRANSFER The college accepts a very limited number of transfer students for enrollment each fall. There are no mid-year admissions. For favor­ able consideration, applicants for transfer must have had a good scho­ lastic record in the institution attended and must present full creden­ tials for both college and preparatory work, including a statement of honorable dismissal. They must take the Scholastic Aptitude Test given by the College Entrance Examination Board if this test has not been taken previously. As a general practice, transfer students are not admitted to ad­ vanced standing later than the beginning of the sophomore year. Four semesters of study at Swarthmore College constitute the minimum re­ quirement for a degree, two of which must be those of the senior year. Applications for transfer must be filed by March 15 of the year in which entrance is desired. Decisions on these applications are an­ nounced early in June. Only under exceptional circumstances are students admitted for transfer eligible for financial assistance during their first year at Swarthmore. 25 EXPEN SES T U I T I O N AND FEES Charges for the academic year 1970-71 (two semesters): Tuition .......................................................................... $2,300 General F e e .................................................................... 210 Board and Room............................................................ 1,135 Total Resident Charges................................. $3,645* While a general charge for board and room is made, this may be divided into $635 for board and $500 for room. $48 of the general fee of $210 has been designated Student Activity Fee.

Bills are mailed before the opening of each term. Payments should be made by check or draft to the order of Swarthmore College. A student is not a registered student at Swarthmore College, nor on any class roll, until his bill is paid. Correspondence about financial matters should be addressed to Miss Caroline Shero, Associate Controller. Students who wish to charge Book Store purchases, laboratory breakage fees, etc., may do so by maintaining a student deposit ac­ count at the Business Office against which charge checks may be drawn. Cash withdrawals may also be made. Students will be noti­ fied when overdrafts occur and no cash withdrawals may be made unless a cash balance is maintained. A minimum deposit of $100.00 ♦An advance deposit oi $25 is required of all new students in order to reserve a place in college for the coming year. A similar deposit of $15 is required of returning students. These deposits are credited against the bill for tuition, board, and room. 26 EXPENSES in September is suggested and all students are urged to maintain such an account for their convenience. No reduction or refunding of tuition can be made on account of absence, illness, voluntary withdrawal, or dismissal from college. No reduction or refund will be made for failure to occupy the room as­ signed for a given term, nor is the general fee refundable. In case of absence or withdrawal from the college and provided due notice has been given in advance to the Business Office, there will be a refund of two-thirds of the board charge for any time in excess of two weeks. Exceptions will be made for students who are required by the draft to leave during the course of the academic year. In these cases tui­ tion, general fee, board and room charges will be refunded on a pro rata basis. Students engaged in independent projects away from the College for which regular academic credit is anticipated are expected to register in advance in the usual way and pay normal tuition. If the student is away from the College for a full semester no charge for board, room or general fee will be made but if a student is away only for a part of a semester, board may be charged on a pro rata basis by prior arrangement. TUITION PAYMENT PLAN Many of the parents of students may wish to pay tuition, fees, and residence charges on a monthly basis. Details of a monthly payment plan offered by the Girard Bank of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania will be furnished by the College prior to issuance of the first semester’s bill in September. ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS INSURANCE The college makes available both accident and accident and sick­ ness insurance to students through John C. Paige and Co. of Boston, Massachusetts. Accident coverage alone costs $12.00 per year (12 months) for women, and $18.00 for men. The combined accident and sickness policy is available at an annual cost of $32.50 for women and $36.00 for men. At least accident coverage is required of all stu­ dents who participate in intercollegiate athletic activities and the com­ bined accident and sickness policy is particularly recommended. Ap­ plication forms are mailed to all students during the summer 27 F IN A N C IA L A ID The college assigns scholarships and loans to a substantial number of students each year. These awards are normally made to entering freshman students and are renewable for four years. About one hundred freshman scholarships and loans are awarded carrying stipends varying from $100 to $4,120 annually. Approximately thirtyfive per cent of the total student body are currently receiving financial aid from the College, with stipends averaging about $1,500 annually. Another ten to fifteen per cent are being assisted from sources outside the College. All grants are based upon school or college record, and upon finan­ cial need as revealed in confidential statements to the Scholarship Committee through the agency of the College Scholarship Service. Entering students seeking financial assistance are required to submit a Parents Confidential Statement to the Service. This form may be ob­ tained from a secondary school or from the College Scholarship Serv­ ice, P.O. Box 176, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, Box 881, Evans­ ton, Illinois 60204, or P. O. Box 1025, Berkeley, California 94701. The Scholarship Committee reviews the financial situation and aca­ demic progress of every scholarship holder at the end of each aca­ demic year before renewing the awards. In computing stipends the committee takes into account an expected family contribution from in­ come and assets, the student’s savings and earnings. These are bud­ geted against a normal total expense of $4,120 for the college year. This allows $475 for incidental expenses exclusive of travel and for the total college charge of $3,645, which includes tuition, board and room, and a very comprehensive college fee. This covers not only the usual student services (health, library, laboratory) but also attendance at all campus social, cultural and athletic events, and support of most club activities. The College reserves the right to adjust college sti­ pends in the event the student receives scholarship assistance from other sources. First year transfer students are not eligible for scholar­ ship aid. 28 F I N A N C I A L AID Candidates wishing to apply for scholarships should make the usual application for admission. All applicants for admission are given the opportunity to apply for scholarship aid. The candidate’s status with respect to need for scholarship is not considered to be a relevant factor in the matter of reaching decisions concerning admis­ sion to the college. For the academic year 1970-71 the college has granted approxi­ mately $725,000 in scholarships. About two-thirds of that sum was provided by special gifts and the endowed scholarships listed below. Funds from the federal government are available for needy students who are eligible for Educational Opportunity Grants, National De­ fense Student Loans, and the Work-Study program. Applicants are not required to apply for specific scholarships but will be considered for all scholarship opportunities either from endowed scholarships or from general college scholarship funds. Financial need is a require­ ment for all scholarships listed below unless otherwise indicated. Swarthmore College National Scholarships Swarthmore College awards each year a number of four-year Na­ tional Scholarships to the men and women entering the freshman class. All candidates for admission to the College may be considered for these scholarships. Based on the general plan of the Rhodes Schol­ arships, the awards are made to those candidates who, in the opin­ ion of the Committee of Award, rank highest in scholarship, character and personality. Whenever feasible, finalists for National Scholar­ ships will be interviewed by the Committee of Award. The amount of the annual award varies from $100 to $4,120 ac­ cording to the financial need of the winner. In those cases where there is no financial need, National Scholarships will be awarded on an honorary basis and carry an annual stipend of $100. Other Scholarships for Men and Women The Vivian B.

Sharpies Scholarship, a four-year scholarship open to entering freshmen, is designed to honor and encourage young men in engineering or physical science. The committee, in making its se­ lections, will have regard for candidates who rank highest in scholar­ ship, character, personality, leadership, and physical vigor. At least one scholarship will be given each year. The Newton E. Tarble Award, established by Newton E. Tarble of the Class of 1913, is granted to a freshman man who gives promise of leadership, ranks high in scholarship, character and personality, and resides west of the Mississippi River or south of Springfield in the State of Illinois. Scholarships for Women The Mary Lippincott Griscom Scholarship is to be given to a girl with financial need, who ranks high in character, personality and scholarship. Preference would be given to a member of the Society of Friends. The George K. and Sallie K. Johnson Fund provides aid during the 37 F I N A N C I A L AID senior year for young women who are fitted to become desirable teachers. The income of the Kappa Alpha Theta Scholarship Fund, given by members and friends of the Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity at Swarth­ more, is awarded annually to a woman student. The Jessie Stevenson Kovalenko Scholarship Fund is the gift of Michel Kovalenko in memory of his wife. This scholarship is to be awarded to a student, preferably a woman, who is in her junior or senior year and who is a major in astronomy, or to a graduate of the College, preferably a woman, for graduate work in astronomy at Swarthmore or elsewhere. The Mary T. Longstreth Scholarship was founded by Rebecca C. Longstreth in memory of her mother and is to be awarded annually to assist a young woman student to pursue her studies in the College. The Clara B. Marshall Scholarship, established by the will of Dr. Clara B. Marshall, is awarded to a woman at Swarthmore College with preference given to descendants of her grandfathers, Abram Marshall or Mahlon Phillips. The Harriet W. Paiste Fund provides a scholarship for a young woman who is a member of the Society of Friends (Philadelphia Yearly Meeting). The Mary Coates Preston Scholarship Fund. A sum of money has been left by will of Elizabeth Coates, the annual interest of which provides a scholarship to a young woman student in Swarthmore Col­ lege. Preference is given to a relative of the donor. The Lily Tily Richards Scholarship, established by Peirce L. Rich­ ards, Jr., in memory of his wife, Lily Tily Richards ’29, is awarded to a woman distinguished for high scholarship, character, personality and physical vigor. The Annie Shoemaker Scholarship is granted annually to a young woman of the graduating class of Friends Central School, Overbrook, Philadelphia. This scholarship is awarded by the faculty of Friends Central School, and is subject to the approval of Swarthmore College. The Sarah W. Shreiner Scholarship given in loving memory by her daughter, Leah S. Leeds of the Class of 1927, is awarded annually to a woman who ranks high in scholarship, character and personality. The Titus Scholarships established by the will of Georgiana Titus of the Class of 1898 are awarded to young women in order that they may pursue their studies in the College. 38 F I N A N C I A L AID The Mary Wood Fund provides a scholarship which may be awarded to a young woman who is preparing to become a teacher. LOAN FUNDS Swarthmore participates in the federal loan program established under the National Defense Education Act. The College also main­ tains special loan funds which are listed below. Repayment of col­ lege loans begins nine months after the student completes his higher education and are repayable within the next eleven years. The loans bear annual interest of 3% on the unpaid balance beginning with the date on which repayment is to begin. Amounts vary according to need, although the College believes that students should avoid heavy indebtedness which might prove detrimental to their own plans. The amount of a loan may not exceed $1,000 annually. For the year 1970-71 the College has made approximately 150 loans in amounts averaging about $300. The Joseph W. Conard Memorial Fund, established by friends of the late Professor Conard, is available for loans to worthy students in financial difficulty. The Alphonse N. Bertrand Loan Fund. The Class of 1916 Loan Fund. The Class of 1920 Loan Fund. The Class of 1936 Loan Fund. The John A. Miller Loan Fund. The Paul M. Pearson Loan Fund. The Ellis D. Williams Fund. The Swarthmore College Student Loan Fund. STU DENT EMPLOYMENT There are opportunities to earn money by regular work at current wage rates in the dining room, offices, laboratories or libraries. A student may hold a college job in addition to a scholarship or a grantin-aid. The distribution of jobs among those authorized to hold them is made by the Student Employment office. Residents of the borough of Swarthmore often send requests for services to the college, which cooperates in making these opportunities known to students. About one-third of the students enrolled in college obtain employment reg­ ularly through the office. Earnings are restricted by the time a stu­ dent can spend, though many students earn as much as $300-$400 during the college year, and some earn up to $500. 39 : „ COLLEGE LIFE HOUS ING Swarthmore is primarily a residential college, conducted on the assumption that an important element in education comes from close association of students and instructors. Most students live in dormi­ tories. Many members of the faculty live on or near the campus. Residence Halls There are nine dormitories for men: Wharton Hall, named in honor of its donor, Joseph Wharton, at one time President of the Board of Managers, Palmer, Pittenger and Roberts Halls on South Chester Road, two buildings on the former Mary Lyon School prop­ erty, Ashton House, and two dormitories, Hallowell and Dana, which were opened in September of 1967. The women’s dormitories include the upper floors in the wings of Parrish Hall, Worth Hall, the gift of William P. Worth, ’76, and J. Sharpies Worth, ex-’73, as a memorial to their parents, Woolman House, and Willets Hall, largely made possible by a bequest from Phebe Seaman, ’19, and named in honor of her mother and aunts. Certain dormitory sections are reserved for an experimental pro­ gram of coeducational housing in 1970-71. The men’s and women’s dormitories may be visited by members of the opposite sex according to procedures established by the dormi­ tory sections in consultation with the Deans. All freshmen are assigned to rooms by the Deans. Other students choose their rooms in an order determined by lot. Special permission must be obtained from the Deans to room outside the dormitories. Students may occupy college rooms during vacations only by spe­ cial arrangements with the Deans and payment of the required fee. Freshmen, sophomores and juniors are asked to leave college imme­ diately after their last examination in the spring so that their rooms may be used by Commencement visitors. 43 COLLEGE LIFE The insurance program for the College is designed to provide pro­ tection for College property and does not include the property of stu­ dents or others. It is therefore suggested that students and their par­ ents should review their insurance program in order to be sure that coverage is extended to include personal effects while at college. Sharpies Dining Hall All students living on campus have their meals in the Philip T. Sharpies Dining Hall. The dining hall is ordinarily closed during vacations. Tarble Social Center Through the generosity of Newton E. Tarble of the Class of 1913, the building which formerly housed the College Library has been completely renovated and serves as the College’s Social Center. It in­ cludes recreational facilities, lounges, meeting rooms, and a snack bar. Black Cultural Center A Black Cultural Center, located in the Caroline Hadley Robinson House, is being developed in 1970-71. It will house a library and various cultural activities of special interest to black students. The program will be planned by a committee of black students, faculty, and administration. R E L I G I O U S LIFE The religious life of the college is founded on the Quaker princi­ ple that the seat of spiritual authority lies in the Inner Light of each individual. The Society of Friends is committed to the belief that religion is best expressed in the quality of everyday living. There are accordingly no compulsory religious exercises. Students are en­ couraged to attend the churches of their choice. Episcopal, Presby­ terian, Methodist, and Christian Science churches are located in the borough of Swarthmore; other churches and synagogues in the nearby towns of Morton, Media, Chester, and Springfield. The Swarthmore Friends Meeting House is located on the campus. Stu­ dents are cordially invited to attend its meeting for worship on Sun­ day. Extracurricular groups with faculty cooperation exist for the study of the Bible and the exploration of common concerns in reli­ gion. CO L L E C T I O N An assembly of the college, called Collection, is held three times during each semester in Clothier Memorial. There is regularly a 44 C O L L E G E L I F E- period of silence according to the Friendly tradition and a reading. Lasting about three-quarters of an hour, Collection normally includes an address; but this is varied by the occasional introduction of musi­ cal, dramatic, and other programs. STUDENT WELFARE Health The college physicians hold daily office hours at the college, where students may consult them without charge. A student must report any illness to the college physicians, but is free to go for treatment to an­ other doctor if he prefers to do so. At the time of admission each student must present a brief medical history and health certificate, prepared by the family physician on a form supplied by the college. Pertinent information about such mat­ ters as physical reserve, unusual medical episodes, severe allergies, or psychiatric disturbances will be especially valuable to the college Health Service. All new students must have been successfully vac­ cinated against smallpox within five years, in accordance with Penn­ sylvania State law. The college physician gives physical examinations to all students at the beginning of each year. There is close cooperation with the De­ partments of Physical Education. Recommendations for limited ac­ tivity are made for those students with physical handicaps. In some cases a student may be excused entirely from the requirements of the Physical Education Department. The Worth Health Center, a gift of the Worth family in memory of William Penn Worth ’76 and Caroline Hallowell Worth ’79, was opened in September of 1965. It houses offices for the college physi­ cians and nurses, out-patient treatment facilities and rooms for men and women who must remain as in-patients. Registered nurses are on duty under the direction of the college physicians. Each student is allowed ten days care in the Health Center per term without charge unless the services of a special nurse are required. After ten days, a charge of $5.00 per day is made. Students suffering from a communicable disease or from illness which makes it neces­ sary for them to remain in bed must stay in the Health Center for the period of their illness. Ordinary medicines are furnished without cost, but a charge is made for special medicines, certain immunization pro­ cedures, and transportation. The medical facilities of the college are available to students in­ jured in athletic activities or otherwise, but the college cannot assume 45 COLLEGE LIFE additional financial responsibility for medical and surgical expenses arising from accidents. Accident insurance coverage is, therefore, required for all students participating in athletics and is recom­ mended for all others. (For details see page 27.) The college psychologist and psychiatric consultants hold office hours by appointment each week. The purpose of this service is to be of help with personal and emotional problems. The psychiatrists will provide as complete an evaluation of any student as possible. Brief psychotherapy within the limits of available time will be given to stu­ dents without charge. In instances where longer treatment is needed, an outside psychiatrist will be recommended to the student. Student Advising The Deans and their assistants hold the primary responsibility for advising all students. However, there are many other advisers avail­ able. Each freshman is assigned to a faculty member who acts as his course adviser until this responsibility falls to the chairman of the student’s major department at the end of his sophomore year. Fac­ ulty members have also been appointed as advisers for each of the men’s varsity athletic teams. They work closely with the team, at­ tending practices and many of the scheduled contests. Mrs. Gloria Evans, Consultant for Testing and Guidance, is an experienced counselor who will assist students with problems of academic adjustment, study skills and reading proficiency. She also can give aptitude and interest tests on request. Appointments may be made at her office in Parrish Hall. Each women’s dormitory has a head resident. In Parrish and Willets, the head resident is assisted by student residents who are mem­ bers of the junior or senior class. A group of upperclass women, under the direction of ‘the Women’s Dormitory Council, serve as counselors for all freshman women, sev­ eral counselors being assigned to each hall. There are also student proctors in each of the men’s dormitory sections. A group of students assist the Deans with the orientation program conducted during the freshman week. Career Planning and Placement The college provides vocational information and advice to assist students in their choice of a career. Conferences are planned period­ ically and interviews are arranged with prospective employers. Help 46 COLLEGE LIFE is offered to students in finding employment. In addition, summer work opportunities are made known to students. Alumni Office The Alumni Office keeps records of the addresses of all living graduates and alumni of the college. It helps edit the Swarthmore alumni magazine, and acts as liaison for the college with all alumni and alumni groups, interpreting to them the present plans and policies of the college. News Office The News Office does a two-fold job. It helps prepare the several publications put out by the college known as Swarthmore College Bulletins. These include the alumni magazine, the President’s Report, the Catalogue, the Student Handbook, and other miscellaneous issues. In addition to this, the News Office, with the assistance of the largely student operated News Bureau, works with the press and other com­ munications media in publicizing news that is of interest to the gen­ eral public. 47 ST U D E N T C O M M U NITY Student Conduct The influence of the Society of Friends within the College com­ munity is one of the important factors in making Swarthmore what it is. Students who choose Swarthmore as their college should under­ stand that they are accepting social and academic standards which, while subject to periodic review, are essential to the well-being of the community. In general, the life of students should be governed by good taste and accepted practice rather than elaborate rules. Cer­ tain regulations, however, are of particular importance and are listed below. 1. The possession and use of alcoholic beverages on the campus is regulated by State law and limited to those areas of the campus which are specified by Student Council and the Deans. The observance of moderation and decorum in respect to drink is a student obligation. Disorderly conduct is regarded as a serious offense. 2. The use or possession of injurious drugs or narcotics without the specific recommendation of a physician and knowledge of the Deans subjects a student to possible suspension or expulsion. Such cases normally will be decided by the Deans. 3. The use or possession of firearms or other dangerous weapons is not permitted. Firecrackers or other explosives are prohibited. Tampering with fire alarm or prevention equipment is a serious offense. 4. No undergraduate may maintain an automobile while enrolled at the College without the permission of the Car Authorization Com­ mittee, a student-faculty group. This permission is not extended to freshmen. Day students may use cars for commuting to College, but special arrangements for stickers must be made for campus parking. More detailed information may be obtained from the Office of the Deans. 5. The participation by any student in any disruption or inter48 STUDENT COMMUNITY ference with the orderly programs, functions, or conduct of College activities of any kind is a serious offense. Penalties for violations of College regulations such as those listed above are set by judicial committees or the Deans and may involve suspension or expulsion. Standing regulations may be modified and new rules may be added at any time upon notice to the student body. The College reserves the right to exclude at any time students whose conduct it regards as undesirable, and without assigning any further reason therefor. Neither the College nor any of its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion. Student Marriages Undergraduates who wish to marry and remain at Swarthmore must request permission to do so from the Deans. If two students are married without this permission, one of them must withdraw from the College. Student Council The semi-annually elected Student Council represents the entire undergraduate community and is the chief body of student govern­ ment. Its efforts are directed toward coordination of student activi­ ties and the expression of student opinion. Committees of the Council include the Budget Committee, which regulates distribution of funds to student groups; the Elections Com­ mittee, which supervises procedure in campus elections; and the Social Committee, see below. In addition to these, there are several joint Faculty-Student Committees, whose student membership is ap­ pointed by a Student Committee on Committees which acts after con­ sultation with two deans and two members of the faculty. Judicial Bodies Four committees have different jurisdictions. The Women’s Judi­ ciary Committee is a branch of the Women’s Dormitory Council and is elected by the women of the student body. It sits in all cases of violations of women’s rules or of violations by women of general campus regulations except as they fall in the sphere of the Student Judiciary Committee (see below). The Men’s Judiciary Committee is elected by the male students and sits in all cases of violations of college rules by male students except in the kinds of cases indicated below as coming under the jurisdiction of the Student Judiciary Committee. The Student Judiciary Committee, elected by the entire student body, acts on cases involving the car rule, dress rule, on cases 49 STUDENT COMMUNITY involving both men and women, and on others that may require joint action. The College Judiciary Committee is composed of student and faculty members and the Deans. It deals with and acts upon cases referred or appealed from the other Committees and with any viola­ tions of rules or standards of conduct that may involve penalties of suspension or expulsion. Women’s Dormitory Councils There are three women’s dormitory councils: one each in Parrish, Willets, and the smaller upperclass women’s dormitories. These coun­ cils are composed of the Senior Residents who are appointed by the Dean of Women, and the Hall Presidents who are elected by each hall. Each council elects one of its members to serve on the Coordinating Committee which meets regularly with the Dean. It is through the Coordinating Committee that certain programs of interest to students can be implemented and dormitory problems often can be resolved. Social Committee An extensive program of social activities is managed by the Social Committee appointed by the Student Council. The program is de­ signed to appeal to a wide variety of interests, and is open to all stu­ dents. There is usually no charge for college social functions. EXTRA-CURRICULAR A CT IV ITI ES In addition to the foregoing organizations, Swarthmore students have an opportunity to participate in a program of extra-curricular activities wide enough to meet every kind of interest. There are more than thirty-five organized activities, not including departmental clubs or political organizations. They vary as greatly as the interests of the students vary, from the Flying Club to the Chess Club, from the Cre­ ative Writing Group to the Co-ed Dance Group. The College encour­ ages a student to participate in whatever activity best fits his personal talents and inclinations, believing that satisfactory avocations are a necessary part of life. The Studio Arts Program The Artist in Residence, Harriet Shorr Baguskas, arranges for classes in studio arts and for exhibits in the Arts Center and acts as an adviser to other organizations. See under Studio Arts, page 86, for a list of credit and non-credit courses. The Wilcox Gallery provides ten to twelve exhibitions a year, 50 STUDENT COMMUNITY which are a direct complement to the program. The works of na­ tionally known painters as well as those of younger artists are exhib­ ited in group and one man shows. The Marjorie Heilman Visiting Artist Program Each year a committee of students and faculty members selects an artist to be invited to spend a week at the College. The work of the invited artist is exhibited in the Wilcox Gallery, and he meets and talks with students on an informal basis. Music The Department of Music administers and staffs several perform­ ing organizations. The College Chorus, directed by Professor Swing, rehearses twice per week for a total of three hours. (The College Singers, a select small chorus drawn from the membership of the Chorus, rehearses an additional hour per week.) The College Orches­ tra, directed by Mr. Freeman, rehearses twice per week: a two-hour rehearsal for full orchestra and a one-hour rehearsal for strings. Members of the orchestra, other instrumentalists and solo singers can participate in the chamber music coaching program directed by Mr. Kalish and Mr. Zukofsky. The Chorus and Orchestra give several public concerts per year at the College and at other schools. Selected members of the chamber music coaching program give a public concert in the spring. All three organizations require auditions for membership. The Bond Concert Committee, a student organization working with the Department of Music, plans a series of informal Sunday after­ noon concerts to accommodate students interested in preparing solo and chamber music performances. These concerts also provide an opportunity for student composers to get public performances. There are facilities for private practice, and an excellent college record collection. The Cooper Foundation presents a distinguished group of concerts each year on the campus. Dance The Department of Physical Education for Women sponsors per­ formance groups in Folk Dance and Modern Dance. Both groups meet regularly each week and give performances throughout the year. In addition, Mrs. Patricia Boyer will offer this year a non-credit course in dance composition. Drama Professor Lee Devin is Director of Theater. He directs two major 51 STUDENT COMMUNITY productions and supervises the drama program, which consists of student-produced workshop productions, and a bill of student-written one-act plays. The Theater Workshop course is described on page 124. Athletics Swarthmore’s athletic policy is based on the premise that any inter­ collegiate program must be justified by the contribution which it can make to the educational development of the individual student who chooses to participate. In keeping with this fundamental policy, Swarthmore’s athletic program is varied and extensive, offering every student a chance to take part in a wide range of sports. The College feels that it is desirable to have as many students as possible com­ peting on its intercollegiate teams. Fraternities There are five fraternities at Swarthmore; Delta Upsilon and Phi Sigma Kappa are affiliated with national organizations while Kappa Sigma Pi, Tau Alpha Omicron and Phi Omicron Psi are local associa­ tions. Fraternities are adjuncts to the college social program and maintain separate lodges on the campus. The lodges do not contain dormitory accommodations or eating facilities. New members are pledged during the late fall of their first year at the college. In recent years about 40% of the freshman men have decided to affiliate with one of the five fraternities. Student Activities Bulletin A booklet describing more fully all these activities and many others can be obtained upon request from the Office of Admissions. 52 E D U C A T IO N A L PROGRAM FA C U L TY R EG U L A T IO N S DEG REE R EQ UIREM ENTS AW ARDS A N D PRIZES FELLOW SHIPS E D U C A T IO N A L PROGRAM General Statement Swarthmore College offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts and the degree of Bachelor of Science. The latter is given only to students who major in Engineering; the former, to students in the Humanities, the Social Sciences, and the Natural Sciences.* Four years of resident study are normally required for a Bachelor’s degree. (See page 74). The selection of a program will depend upon the student’s inter­ ests and vocational plans. Programs in engineering, pre-medical courses, and chemistry, for example, are the usual preparation for professional work in these fields. Students planning a career in law, business, or government service find majors in the humanities or social sciences of great value. The purpose of a liberal education, however, is not primarily to provide vocational instruction, even though it provides the best foun­ dation for one’s future vocation. Its purpose is to help students fulfill their responsibilities as citizens and grow into cultivated and versa­ tile individuals. A liberal education is concerned with our cultural inheritance, the world of thought, and the development of aesthetic, moral, and spiritual values. It is necessary for most students to concern themselves with the problem of making a living. But this concern should not lead them to a specialization that is too early and too narrow. They still have need of broadening the scope of their experience. Particular skills may afford readier access to routine employment, but positions of greater responsibility will be occupied by those who are equipped to think their way through new problems and to conceive of their functions in a larger context of time and place. Liberal education and voca­ tional training may be the joint products of a common process, and the courses here offered should be selected with this large purpose in view. •For groupings of departments, see page 208. 55 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM All students during the first half of their college program are ex­ pected to satisfy some if not all of the distribution requirements, to choose their major and minor subjects, and to prepare for advanced work in these subjects by taking certain prerequisites. The normal program consists of four courses each semester chosen by the student in consultation with his course adviser. The program for upper class students affords a choice between two methods of study: Honors work and the Course program. An Honors student concentrates on two or three fields, his major and one or more minors, which he studies intensively and which occupy three-fourths of his working time during the last two years. At the close of his sen­ ior year he takes a series of six examinations given by visiting exam­ iners over this work. In addition he takes four courses, or the equiv­ alent, which provide opportunities for further exploration outside of his Honors program. A student in the Course program has a somewhat wider freedom of election and takes four courses or their equivalent in each of the last four semesters. At the end of his senior year he is required to pass a comprehensive examination given by his major department. The program for engineering students follows a similar basic plan, with certain variations which are explained on page 112. Courses outside the technical fields are spread over all four years. The course advisers of freshmen and sophomores are members of the faculty appointed by the Dean. For juniors and seniors the advis­ ers are the chairmen of their major departments or their representa­ tives. PROGRAM FOR FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES The curriculum of the first two years introduces a student to the methods and content of a variety of fields important to a liberal edu­ cation. I. To meet the distribution requirements of the College, a student must take at least two courses from each of the four groups listed below and must elect work in at least six departments. Subject to the restrictions indicated here, students may receive credit toward distri­ bution through taking any numbered course in a given department that they are eligible to take. Mathematics, though not one of the sub­ jects included in the four groups, may be counted as one of the six departments. 1. Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Physics. 56 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM 2. Art History, Classics (literature courses numbered 11 or above), English Literature (except courses numbered 70-72), Modern Languages (literature courses numbered 11 or above), Music (except courses numbered 34-39). 3. Classics (courses in ancient history), History, Philosophy, Psychol­ ogy, Religion. 4. Economics, Political Science, Sociology and Anthropology. Students entering college with special preparation in any of the subjects included in the distribution requirements may apply to the Committee on Academic Requirements for exemption from that requirement. It is most desirable that students include in their programs some work in a foreign language. A student who intends to major in one of the natural sciences, mathematics, or engineering should take an ap­ propriate mathematics course in his freshman year. In addition to the requirements listed above, prerequisites must be completed for the work of the last two years in major and minor sub­ jects, and sufficient additional electives must be taken to make up a full program. It is expected that, after satisfying the requirements in the general program of the first two years, the student will devote the remainder of his sophomore year to preparing himself for more advanced study of those subjects which have most interested him and to other courses which will increase the range of his knowledge. He should decide, as early in his sophomore year as possible, upon two or three subjects in which he might like to major and should consult the statements of the departments concerned as to required and recommended courses and supporting subjects. Physical education is required of all students (except veterans) in the first two years with certain provisions for exemption. The require­ ments are stated in full on page 72 and in the statements of the depart­ ments of Physical Education. COURSE PROGRAM FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS The work of juniors and seniors in the Course program includes some intensive, specialized study within a general area of interest. This comprises enough work in a single department (designated as a "major”) to make an equivalent of at least eight courses. There is no 57 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM upper limit to the number of courses a student may take in the major field, provided that he take at least twenty courses outside the major field. Before graduation the student must pass a comprehensive ex­ amination in his major subject. A student must choose his major subject at the end of the sopho­ more year, and apply formally through the Registrar to be accepted by the division concerned. The decision will be based on an estimate of his ability in his major subject as well as on his record. If a stu­ dent does not secure divisional approval, he cannot be admitted to the junior class. A student’s course adviser during his junior and senior years is the chairman of his major department (or a member of the department designated by the chairman) whose approval he must secure for his choice of courses each semester. The faculty may award the bachelor’s degree with Distinction to students who have done distinguished work in the course program. HONORS PROGRAM FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS The Honors Program, initiated in 1922 by President Frank Aydelotte and modified most recently in 1968, is a distinctive part of Swarthmore’s educational life. It seeks to free from the limitations of classroom routine those students whose maturity, interest, and capacity suit them for independent work. While the program is de­ signedly flexible and responsive to new needs, it has been character­ ized from the beginning by three basic elements, which taken together may be said to be the essence of the system. (1) Honors work involves a concentration of the student’s atten­ tion during his last two years upon a limited field pf studies. He nor­ mally pursues only two subjects during a semester, thereby avoiding the fragmentation of interest that may result from a program of four or more courses with their daily assignments and frequent examina­ tions. The content of the subject matter field is correspondingly broader, permitting a wide range of reading and investigation and demanding of the student correlations of an independent and search­ ing nature. (2) Honors work frees the student from periodic examinations, since his thinking is under continual scrutiny by his classmates and instructors. By this program he undertakes to prepare himself to take examinations in six subjects at the close of his senior year. In these he is expected to demonstrate his competence in a field of knowledge rather than simply his mastery of those facts and interpre58 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM tations which his instructor has seen fit to present. These examina­ tions, consisting of a three-hour paper in each field, are set by exam­ iners from other institutions who read the papers and then come to the campus to conduct an oral examination of each student, in order to clarify and enlarge the basis of their judgment of his command of his material. (3) Honors work is customarily carried on in seminars or small classes or in independent projects which may lead to an Honors paper or thesis. Seminars meet once a week, in many cases in the home of the instructor, for sessions lasting three hours or more. The exact technique of the seminar varies with the subject matter, but its essence is a cooperative search for truth, whether it be by papers, discussion, or laboratory experiment. Each student has an equal responsibility for the assimilation of the whole of the material and is correspondingly searching in his scrutiny of ideas presented by his fellows or by his instructor. The student is expected to devote half of his working time during a semester to each seminar or course taken in preparation for an Honors paper or examination. No student is permitted under ordinary circumstances to take more than six sem­ inars. He may take fewer than six, since he may prepare in other ways for his Honors examinations. In practice three avenues toward an Honors degree are open: (1) The normal program of Honors work consists of six subjects studied during the last two years in preparation for papers or exami­ nations given by the visiting examiners at the close of the senior year. The usual pattern is four papers in the major department and two in a minor department, but other combinations of major and minor fields are possible. No student is allowed more than four papers in his major; in those cases where he offers three subjects in each of two fields, one of them must be designated as his major. While there is a general belief that two papers in a minor field are desirable because of the mutual reinforcement they provide, there are by custom cer­ tain subjects which are allowed to stand alone. Thus there is a con­ siderable flexibility in Honors programs, each being subject to the scrutiny of the departments and divisions in which the work is done. (2) Students who have a special reason to study for one or two semesters abroad or in another American institution must take the normal number of examinations. Such programs must be worked out in advance, since it may not be possible to provide visiting examiners for work offered elsewhere and since instruction in some fields of the 59 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM student’s choice may not be available in the other institution. In gen­ eral the student following this avenue to an Honors degree must weigh carefully the advantage of working independently or under tutorial guidance against the loss he incurs by missing both the stim­ ulus and the criticism provided by his fellows in seminar. (3) Students who at the end of the sophomore year did not elect or were not permitted to read for Honors, but whose work has sub­ sequently shown distinction, may be encouraged to enter the Honors program as late as the middle of the senior year. They shall receive no remission of the number of examinations by reason of their prep­ aration in Course but shall be subject to the regulations governing Honors programs of the division concerned. Such students must peti­ tion the division for permission to take the Honors examinations and must submit an acceptable list of examinations which they are pre­ pared to take. A candidate for admission to Honors should consult the chairmen of his prospective major and minor departments during the second semester of his sophomore year and work out a program for the jun­ ior and senior years. This proposed program must be filed in the of­ fice of the Registrar who will forward it to the divisions concerned. The acceptance of the candidate by the divisions depends in part upon the quality of his previous work as indicated by the grades he has received but mainly upon his apparent capacity for assuming the responsibility of Honors work. The names of the accepted candidates are announced later in the spring. The major department is responsi­ ble for the original plan of work and for keeping in touch with the candidate’s progress from semester to semester. The division is responsible for approval of the original program and of any later changes in that program. At the end of the junior year Honors students are required to take the Honors examinations set at that time for the fields they have stud­ ied. These trial papers, however, are read by their instructors, not by the visiting examiners. On the basis of the showing made in these examinations, the student may be advised or even required to return to Course, or he may be warned that he continues in Honors at his own risk. Those students who return to Course under these circum­ stances or for other reasons will receive grades for the work they have done while reading for Honors, but in no case without taking examinations over the field covered. At the end of the senior year the reading of the examinations and the decision of the degree of Honors to be awarded the candidates is 60 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM entirely in the hands of the visiting examiners. Upon their recom­ mendation, successful candidates are awarded the Bachelor’s Degree with Honors, with High Honors, or with Highest Honors. When the work of a candidate does not in the 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. E X C E P T I O N S TO T H E F O U R YEAR PROGRAM Although the normal period of uninterrupted work toward the Bach­ elor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees is four years, graduation in three years is freely permitted when a student can take advantage of Advanced Placement credits, perhaps combining them with extra work by special permission. When personal circumstances warrant a student may lengthen the continuous route to graduation to five years by carrying fewer courses than the norm of four during some or all of his college career: this may occasionally be appropriate for students who enter Swarthmore lacking some elements of the usual prepara­ tion for college or who, for other reasons, wish to free time for activ­ ities relating to their curricular work although not done for academic credit. Such five-year programs are possible in Music and Studio Arts for students who are taking some instruction off campus or who wish to pursue studio or instrumental work without full credit but with in­ struction and critical supervision; but such programs in the arts are possible only on application to and selection by the department con­ cerned based on exceptional accomplishment or promise. In all cases where it is proposed to reduce academic credit and lengthen the period before graduation the College looks particularly to personal circum­ stances and to careful advising and necessarily charges the regular annual tuition. Full-time leaves of absence for a semester or a year or more are freely permitted and in some cases encouraged, subject also to careful planning and academic advising. F O R M A T S OF I N S T R U C T I O N While classes and seminars are the normal curricular formats at Swarthmore, faculty regulations encourage other modes as well. These include various forms of individual study, student-run courses, and a limited amount of “practical” or off-campus work. The rationale and details of these methods are set out in Critique of a College (1967). The principal forms of individual work are attachments, directed 61 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM reading, and tutorials. The faculty regulation on attachments provides that a student may attach to an existing course, with permission of the instructor, a project of additional reading, research, and writing. If this attachment is taken concurrently with the course it may be done for half credit. If it is taken in a later semester (preferably the semester immediately following) it may be done for either half or full credit. Actually, this kind of work can be done on either a small group or individual basis. It is not possible in all courses, but it is in most, including some introductory courses. For freshmen and sophomores it is a way of developing capacities for independent work, and for Honors students it is an alternative to seminars as a preparation for papers; but all students are encouraged to consider it. Students who decide before the middle of the semester to do a half-credit attachment may commonly, with permission, drop a regular course and carry three and a half credits in that term to be balanced by four and a half credits in another term. Students may do as many as two attachments each year. Directed reading and tutorials are similar; but the faculty role in the former is more bibliographical than pedagogical, and, because they require somewhat less faculty time, opportunities for directed reading are more frequent in most departments than are opportunities for tutorials. In both cases substantial written work and/or written exam­ inations are considered appropriate, and it is generally desirable that the work be more specialized or more sharply focussed than is usually the case in courses or seminars; the work may range from a course of reading to a specific research project. Such work is available primarily to juniors and seniors in accordance with their curricular interests and as faculty time permits. The faculty regulation on student-run courses permits “a group of students to propose a topic to an instructor for half or single credit and to run their own course with a reading list approved by the instructor and a final examination or equivalent administered by him, but nor­ mally with no further involvement of faculty.” In organizing such a course students obtain provisional approval and agreement to serve as course supervisor from a faculty member by December 1st (for the spring term) or May 1st (for the fall term) on the basis of an initial memorandum emphasizing the principal subject matter to be studied, the questions to be asked about it, the methods of investigation, and a preliminary bibliography. The course is then registered by its organ­ izers with the Provost, who has administrative supervision of such work, and who may waive the foregoing deadlines to recognize prob62 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM lems in the organization of such courses. The supervising instructor consults his department and any other departments concerned (and the Curriculum Committee in the case of an inter-departmental course). He also reviews the course outline and bibliography and qualifications and general eligibility of students proposing to participate in the course. On departmental (or Curriculum Committee) approval the instructor’s final approval is due ten days before the term begins, fol­ lowing which a revised reading list and class list are given to the Librarian and the course title and class list are filed with the Registrar. At the end of the course the instructor evaluates and grades the stu­ dents’ work or arranges for an outside-examiner to do so. Student-run courses may vary widely in format and content. In par­ ticular, they may be provisionally proposed for half credit to run in the first half of the semester, and, at mid-term, may be either concluded or, if the participants and supervising instructor find the work profitable, be continued for the balance of the term for full credit. Alternatively, student-run courses may be started after the beginning of the semester (up to mid-semester) for half credit and then be continued, on the same basis, into the following term. Or they may be taken for half credit over a full term. The role of the supervising instructor may exceed that in planning and evaluation outlined above and extend to occasional or regular participation. The only essentials, and the purpose of the pro­ cedures, are sufficient planning and organization of the course to facil­ itate focus and penetration. The course planning and organization, both analytical and bibliographical, are also regarded as important ends in themselves, to be emphasized in the review of proposals before ap­ proval. Up to four of the 32 credits required for graduation may be taken in student-run courses. Finally, as to applied or practical work, the College may under faculty regulations grant up to one course credit for practical work, which may be done off campus, when it can be shown to lend itself to intellectual analysis and is likely to contribute to a student’s progress in regular course work, and subject to four conditions: (1) agreement of an instructor to supervise the project; (2) permission of the Curricu­ lum Committee; (3) a basis for the project in some prior course work; and (4) normally, the examination of pertinent literature and produc­ tion of a written report as parts of the project. This option is intended to apply to work in which direct experience of the off-campus world or responsible applications of academic learning or imaginative aspects of the practice of an art are the primary elements. Because such work is likely to bear a loose relation to organized instruction and the regular 63 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM curriculum the College limits academic credit for it while recognizing its special importance for some students’ programs. IN TER -D ISC IPL IN A R Y WORK The requirements of the departmental major typically leave room for significant flexibility in students’ programs, both within and outside the major. This may be used to pursue a variety of interests and to empha­ size intellectual diversity; it may also be used for the practical integra­ tion of individual programs around interests or principles supplement­ ing the major. Except for International Relations the College does not offer inter-departmental majors or, except for Black Studies, formal inter-disciplinary programs short of the major. The programs in Educa­ tion and in Linguistics have departmental status as to staff, although students do not major in them. It should be recognized that some de­ partments are themselves rather inter-disciplinary in nature; that a number of courses are cross-listed between departments; that each year a few courses are taught jointly by members of two or more depart­ ments; that departments commonly recommend or require supporting work for their major in other departments; and that students can or­ ganize their work into ad hoc concentrations in addition to or as exten­ sions of their majors. One such concentration is formally provided in the Black Studies program (see page 96). Many other opportunities exist informally — e.g., in Art History and Studio Arts, in Classics and Medieval History and Literature, in comparative literature, in Ameri­ can studies, in Religion and Sociology-Anthropology, in Engineering and Social Sciences, or in Biology and Chemistry. Students are encour­ aged to seek the advice of faculty members on such possibilities with respect to their particular interests. In some cases faculty members of several departments have planned and scheduled their course offerings with some consultation so as to afford a de facto concentration in addi­ tion to the major, and students may wish to know and take advantage of these cases of overlapping faculty interests. The following listings, which may be expected to change from year to year, reflect currently organized opportunities, although some other possibilities are men­ tioned with the listings of departmental programs later in the catalogue. A SI A N S T U D I E S Students who wish to undertake work at Swarthmore in Asian studies should be aware of the course and seminar offerings pertaining to Asia in a number of departments. The opportunity exists to develop coordinated programs of study of an interdisciplinary nature drawing 64 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM on Asian materials, in conjunction with a standard department major. Students who wish to explore these possibilities are invited to discuss the matter with either Mr. Yuan (History) or Mr. Piker (SociologyAnthropology) . Courses and seminars dealing primarily or exclusively with Asian materials: Department of Art History 51. Far Eastern Art (Mr. Rhys) Department of History 9. China (Mr. Yuan) 44. Modern China (Mr. Yuan) 45. Modern Japan (Mr. Yuan) 46. Asian Nationalisms (Mr. Yuan) 144. The Modern Far East (Mr. Yuan) Department of Political Science 19. Comparative Communist Politics 20. Politics of East Asia (Mr. Harding) 107. Comparative Communist Politics Department of Religion 5. Introduction to Asian Religions (Mr. Swearer) 13. Theravada Buddhism (Mr. Swearer) 14. Mahayana Buddhism (Mr. Swearer) 107. The Religions of Southeast Asia (Mr. Swearer) 108. Studies in Hinduism and Buddhism (Mr. Swearer) Department of Sociology and Anthropology 73. Japanese Society (Mr. Brandt) 64-65. Colloquium: Buddhism, A Social History (Mr. Piker) 101. Far East Peasant and Urban Cultures (Mr. Brandt) Courses and seminars which include Asian materials: Department of Economics 11. Economic Development (Mr. Ooms) 106.

Anthropological Study of Complex Societies (Mrs. Ross, Mr. Brandt) 66. Independent reading on the culture and history of Theravada SE Asia is available with Mr. Piker. Prerequisite: permission. 107. Sociology of Religion PRE-MEDICAL PROGRAM Students who are considering the possibility of attending medical (or dental) school after graduation from Swarthmore should plan their academic programs carefully to meet the pre-medical require­ ments, listed below, as well as the general College requirements. Specific requirements of the various medical schools, as well as basic information on other aspects of pre-medical and medical training, can be found in “Admission Requirements of American Medical Col­ leges” published by the Association of American Medical Colleges. Recent editions of this book are available in the various libraries on the campus. All students planning a medical career should be lamiliar with this book. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors will be in contact with the pre­ medical consultants who, for 1970-71, will be Professor Jenkins (Biology) and Mrs. Lange, Associate Dean of Admissions. It is also the consultants’ function to prepare a statement of evaluation and recommendation to each medical school to which the student may apply, basing this statement on all available information to it, includ­ ing the student’s record and faculty evaluations. In conference with the student, the course adviser maps out a pro­ gram based on requirements listed below, the college’s general re­ quirements, and the particular needs and interests of the student. 66 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM Beyond these considerations the need for understanding basic social problems, the cultivation of sensitiveness to cultural values, and the values of intensive work in at least one field is kept in mind in map­ ping an individual program. The following courses are among the minimum requirements of most medical schools: Biology 1,2; Chemistry 1,2 or 3,4; Chemistry 28,29; Mathematics 3,4 or 5,6; Physics 1,2; English Literature, two semester courses. The foreign language requirements of medical schools are automatically met when the student has satisfied the col­ lege language requirement, which includes language course 4 or its equivalent. Advanced work in biology, chemistry and mathematics is recommended where the student’s program and interests permit. Medical school requirements are changing rapidly and the student is urged to familiarize himself with the specific requirements of those medical schools in which he is interested. The work of the junior and senior years may be done in either the Course or the Honors program. Intensive work of the major may be done in any department or the student’s choice. Medical schools, however, expect that students majoring in the Divisions of the Hu­ manities or Social Sciences will demonstrate solid competence in the scientific subjects which they take. Although some students have been admitted to medical schools upon the completion of three years of college work, most medical schools strongly advise completion of four years of college, and in practice admit very few with less. CREATIVE ARTS Work in the creative arts is available both in the curriculum of certain departments and on an extra-curricular basis. Interested stu­ dents should consult the departmental statements in English Litera­ ture, Music, and Studio Arts. A total of not more than four courses in the creative arts may be counted toward the degree of Bachelor of Arts. CO O P ER A TI O N W I T H N EI G H BO RI N G IN ST I T U T I O N S With the approval of their course adviser and the Dean, students may take courses offered by Bryn Mawr or Haverford Colleges or the University of Pennsylvania without the payment of extra tuition. This arrangement does not apply to the summer session of the University of Pennsylvania. 67 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM Advanced students in the physical sciences and engineering may benefit from the Bartol Research Foundation, located on the campus, which offers a graduate program. (See page 12) EDUCATION ABROAD The College recognizes the general educational value of travel and study abroad and cooperates as far as possible in enabling interested students to take advantage of such opportunities. It distinguishes, however, between those foreign study plans which may be taken for credit as part of a Swarthmore educational program, and those which must be regarded as supplementary. To be acceptable for credit, for­ eign study must meet Swarthmore academic standards, and must form a coherent part of the student’s four-year plan of study. The Honors Program in particular demands a concentration of study which is not easily adapted to the very different educational systems of foreign universities. Therefore, while some of the approved pro­ grams listed below may normally be taken as substitutes for a semes­ ter or a year of work at Swarthmore, each case is judged individually, and the college may withhold its approval of a particular program, or may insist that the program be carried out as an extra college year. Plans for study abroad must be approved in advance by the Dean and by the Chairmen of departments concerned, if credit is to be given for courses taken, and students may be asked to take examina­ tions upon their return to the College. 1. Established Programs. Students who wish to study abroad un­ der formal academic conditions may apply to one of the programs administered by other American colleges and universities; for exam­ ple, those of Hamilton College, Smith College, or Sweet Briar College. These are full-year programs of study at foreign universities, under the supervision of American college personnel. Interested students should consult the Dean for details. 2. Direct Enrollment. Application may also be made directly to foreign institutions for admission as a special student. This should be done only after consultation with the Dean and the appropriate de­ partment head, and care must be taken to assure in advance that courses taken abroad will be acceptable for Swarthmore credit. Most foreign universities severely limit the number of students they accept for short periods, however, and anyone who applies for admission directly must be prepared to be refused. 3. University of Keele. For a number of years Swarthmore College and the University of Keele, Staffordshire, England, have had a stu- 68 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM dent exchange each year. A student from Swarthmore is selected for study at Keele by a committee which interviews the applicants. The year at Keele may take the place of the junior year at Swarthmore, though it is often taken as an extra year. 4. Peaslee Scholarships. These scholarships, the gifts of Amos Peaslee (Class of ’07) were instituted in 1953 and are normally awarded each year, preferably to sophomores and juniors, for lan­ guage study abroad. The scholarships are for a minimum of one semester plus a summer; course credit is given for the work done upon approval of the department concerned. 5. International Association for the Exchange of Students for Tech­ nical Experience. This program, administered by the Engineers’ Joint Council, provides opportunities for engineering and science stu­ dents to work for engineering firms and laboratories in Europe dur­ ing summer vacations. Students are paid living expenses by the em­ ploying firm in the currency of the country in which they work; they pay their own travel costs. Applications must be made by January 1 for work the following summer, and students are notified of the As­ sociation’s decision by March 31. For further information, students should consult the Director of Career Planning and Placement. 6. University of Warwick, England. A fall semester exchange pro­ gram for members of the Swarthmore junior class majoring in His­ tory and second year students in the School of History at Warwick was inaugurated in 1966. 69 F A C U L T Y R EG U L A T IO N S ATTENDANCE AT CLASSES Registration to take a course for credit implies regular attendance at classes, unless a student specifically elects to obtain credit in a course without attending classes. The conditions for exercising this option are set forth below. With this exception, students are respon­ sible for regular attendance. Faculty members will report to the Deans the name of any student whose repeated absence is in their opinion impairing the student’s work. The number of cuts allowed in a given course is not specified, a fact which places a heavy responsi­ bility on all students to make sure that their work is not suffering as a result of absences. Since freshmen must exercise particular care in this respect, and since the Faculty recognizes its greater responsibility toward freshmen in the matter of class attendance, it is expected that freshmen, especially, will attend all classes. When illness necessitates absence from classes, the student should report at once to the nurses or to the college physician. A student may obtain credit for a course without attending class meetings by reading the material prescribed by a syllabus and taking a final examination, under the following conditions: 1) The student must signify his intent to do so at the time of regis­ tration, having obtained the instructor’s approval in advance. 2) If after such registration the student wishes to change his status and attend classes normally, he must again obtain the instructor’s approval. 3) The student may be required to perform such work, in addi­ tion to the final examination, as the instructor deems necessary for adequate evaluation of his performance. 4) The final grade will be recorded by the Registrar exactly as if the student had attended classes normally. 70 FACULTY REGULATIONS GRADES Instructors report to the Deans’ 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. At the end of each semester formal grades are given in each course under the letter system, by which A means excellent work, B good work, C satisfactory work, D passing but below the average required for grad­ uation, and E failure. W signifies that the student has been permitted to withdraw from the course by the Committee on Academic Require­ ments. X designates a condition; this means that a student has done unsatisfactory work in the first half of a year course, but by creditable work during the second half may earn a passing grade for the full course and thereby remove his condition. R is used to designate an auditor or in cases when the work of a foreign student cannot be evaluated because of deficiencies in English. Inc. means that a student’s work is incomplete with respect to spe­ cific assignments or examinations. The Faculty has voted that the grade given in a course should incorporate a zero for any part of the course not complete by the date of the final examination. The grade Incomplete should be given only after consultation with the Registrar and only in cases in which it can be shown that illness, military serv­ ice, or the like made it impossible for the student to complete his work before the deadline, or in cases in which the instructor wishes to insist on the completion of the work before giving a grade with penalties. If an Inc. is received, it must normally be made up in the term immediately following that in which it was incurred. A date is set at the end of the first six weeks of each term when make-up exam­ inations must be taken and late papers submitted. Under special cir­ cumstances involving the use of laboratories or attendance at courses not immediately available, a student may secure permission to extend the time for making up an incomplete until the second term following. This permission must be given in writing and filed in the Office of the Registrar. Any not made up within a year from the time it was imposed shall be recorded as E, a failure which cannot be made up. In 1968-69 and 1969-70 the only grades recorded on students’ rec­ ords for courses taken during their freshman year were P (pass) or E (fail). Beginning in September 1970 this plan will be followed during the first semester of the freshman year, and students entering as fresh­ men in 1970 may designate four additional courses during the follow­ ing three semesters to be recorded on a pass/fail basis. 71 FACULTY REGULATIONS 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 visiting exam­ iners. RE G I S T R A T I O N All students are required to register at the time specified in official announcements and to file programs of courses or seminars approved by their course advisers. Fines are imposed for late or incomplete registration. A regular student is expected to take the prescribed number of courses in each semester. If more than five or fewer than four courses seem desirable, he should consult his course adviser and file a petition with the Committee on Academic Requirements. Applications involving the late entrance into a course must be re­ ceived within the first two weeks of the semester. Applications involving withdrawal from a course must be received not later than the middle of the semester. EX AMINATIONS 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 charge 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. SUMMER SCHOOL WO RK 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 department. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education is required of all women and non-veteran men in the freshman and sophomore years, unless an excuse is granted by the college physician. Three periods' per week are normally required, but certain provisions for exemption based on achievement are in72 FACULTY REGULATIONS eluded. If any semester’s work of the first two years is failed it shall be repeated in the junior year. No student shall be permitted to enter his senior year with a deficiency in physical education. ACADEMIC HONESTY Members of an academic community have an unequivocal responsi­ bility to present as the result of their own work only that which is truly theirs. Cheating, whether in examinations or by plagiarizing the work of others, is a most serious offense, and one which strikes at the foun­ dations of academic life. The responsibility of the Faculty in this area is three-fold: to explain the nature of the problem to those they teach, to minimize temptation and to report any case of cheating to the Deans for action by the College Judiciary Committee. The College Judiciary Committee will consider the case, determine guilt, and recommend a penalty to the President. The order of magni­ tude of the penalty should reflect the seriousness of the transgression. It is the opinion of the Faculty that for the first offense, failure in the course, and as appropriate, suspension for a semester or deprivation of the degree in that year, is not unsuitable; for a second offense the penalty should normally be expulsion. E X C L U S I O N FROM C O L L E G E The College reserves the right to exclude at any time students whose academic standing it regards as undesirable, and without assigning any further reason therefor; and neither the College nor any of its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion. 73 D EG R EE R EQ U IR EM EN TS BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE The degree of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science are con­ ferred upon students who have met the following requirements for graduation: 1. The candidate must have completed thirty-two courses or their equivalent. 2. He must have an average grade of C on the courses counted for graduation. 3. He must have complied with the distribution requirements. 4. He must have met the requirements in the major and supporting fields during the last two years. 5. He must have passed satisfactorily the comprehensive examina­ tions in his major held or met the standards set by visiting examiners for a degree with honor. 6. He must have completed four semesters of study at Swarthmore College, two of which have been those of the senior year. 7. He must have completed the physical education requirement set forth on page 72 and in statements of the Physical Education Depart­ ments. 8. He must have paid all outstanding bills and returned all equip­ ment and library books. MASTER OF ARTS AND MASTER OF SCIENCE The degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science may be con­ ferred subject to the following requirements: Only students who have completed the work for the Bachelor’s degree with some distinction, either at Swarthmore or at another institution of satisfactory standing, shall be admitted as candidates for the Master’s degree at Swarthmore. The candidate’s record and a detailed program setting forth the aim of the work to be pursued shall be submitted, with a recommen74 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS dation from the department or departments concerned, to the Com­ mittee on the Master’s Degree. If accepted by the Committee, the can­ didate’s name shall be reported to the faculty at or before the first faculty meeting of the year in which the candidate is to begin his work. The requirements for the Master’s degree shall include the equiva­ lent of a full year’s work of graduate character. This work may be done in courses, seminars, reading courses, regular conferences with members of the faculty, or research. The work may be done in one department or in two related departments. A candidate for the Master’s degree shall be required to pass an examination conducted by the department or departments in which his work was done. He shall be examined by outside examiners, pro­ vided that where this procedure is not practicable, exceptions may be made by the Committee on the Master’s Degree. The department or departments concerned, on the basis of the reports of the outside ex­ aminers, together with the reports of the student’s resident instructors, shall make recommendations to the faculty for the award of the degree. At the option of the department or departments concerned, a thesis may be required as part of the work for the degree. A candidate for the Master’s degree will be expected to show be­ fore admission to candidacy a competence in those languages deemed by his department or departments most essential for his field of re­ search. Detailed language requirements will be indicated in the an­ nouncements of departments which admit candidates for the degree. The tuition fee for graduate students who are candidates for the Master’s degree is $2,300 per year, and the general fee for these stu­ dents is $25 per semester. ADVANCED E N G I N E E R I N G DEGREES The advanced degrees of Mechanical Engineer (M.E.), Electrical Engineer (E.E.), and Civil Engineer (C.E.), may be obtained by graduates who have received their Bachelor’s degree in Engineering upon fulfilling the requirements given below: 1. The candidate must have been engaged in engineering work for five years since receiving his first degree. 2. He must have had charge of engineering work and must be in a position of responsibility and trust at the time of application. 3. He must make application and submit an outline of the thesis he expects to present, one full year before the advanced degree is to be conferred. 75 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 4. The thesis must be submitted for approval one calendar month before the time of granting the degree. 5. Every candidate shall pay a registration fee of $5 and an addi­ tional fee of $20 when the degree is conferred. 76 AW ARDS A N D PRIZES The Ivy Award Fund was created by a gift from Owen Moon, ’94. The income of the fund is placed in the hands of the faculty for award on Commencement Day to a male member of the graduating class. The qualifications for the Ivy Award are similar to those for the Rhodes Scholarships and include (a) qualities of manhood, force of character, 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.” The Oak Leaf Award was established by David Dwight Rowlands 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 award is made by the faculty each year to the woman member of the Senior Class who is outstanding for loyalty, scholarship and service. The McCabe Engineering Award, founded by Thomas B. McCabe, 1915, is to be presented each year to the outstanding engineering stu­ dent in the Senior Class. The recipient is chosen by a committee of the faculty of the department of Engineering. The Phi Beta Kappa Prize is awarded by the Swarthmore Chapter to the member of the junior class who had the best academic record for the first two years. The value of the prize is $40. The Brand Blanshard Prize, honoring Brand Blandshard, professor of philosophy at Swarthmore from 1925 to 1945, has been established by David H. Scull, of the Class of 1936. The award of $50 is pre­ sented annually to the student who, in the opinion of the department, submits the best essay on any philosophical topic. The A. Edward Newton Library Prize of $50, endowed by A. Ed­ ward 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 intelligently chosen collection of books upon any subject. Particular emphasis is laid in the award not merely upon the size of the collec77 AWARDS AND PRIZES tion but also upon the skill with which the books are selected and upon the owner’s knowledge of their subject-matter. The Katherine B. Sicard Prize of $5, endowed by the Delta Gamma Fraternity in memory of Katherine B. Sicard, ’34, is awarded annually to the freshman woman who, in the opinion of the department, shows greatest proficiency in English. Public Speaking Contests. Prizes for contests in public speaking are provided as follows: The Ella Frances Bunting Extemporary Speaking Fund awards prizes for the best extemporaneous short speeches. The Owen Moon Fund provides the Delta Upsilon Speak­ ing Contests awards for the best prepared speeches on topics of cur­ rent interest. The William Plumer Potter Public Speaking Fund, established in 1927, sponsors a contest in the reading of poetry as well as providing funds for other contests described below and for the collection of recorded literature described on page 51. Three prizes for the best student-written one-act plays are provided by the William Plumer Potter Fund. The winning plays are usually produced during the fall semester by the Little Theater Club. Prizes for the best student short stories are also awarded from the William Plumer Potter Fund. The Lois Morrell Poetry Award, given by her parents in memory of Lois Morrell of the Class of 1946, goes to that student who, in the opinion of the faculty, submits the best original poem in the annual competition for the award. The award, consisting of $100, is made in the spring of the year. All entries should be submitted by April 1. The John Russell Hayes Poetry Prizes, of approximately $25 for a first prize and $15 for a second prize, are offered for the best original poem or for a translation from any language. Manuscripts should be ready by April 1 of each year. The Academy of American Poets has established at Swarthmore College one of its five-year award programs. The Academy gives $100 each year for the prize poem (or group of poems) submitted in a competition under the direction of the Department of English Lit­ erature. The program was initiated in 1967. The May E. Parry Memorial Award, given by the Class of 1925 of which she was a member, is presented each year to the senior woman who by her loyalty, sportsmanship, and skill in athletics has made a valuable contribution to Swarthmore College. The recipient is chosen by the faculty of the Department of Physical Education for Women. 78 FELLOW SHIPS Three fellowships are awarded annually by the faculty, on recom­ mendation of the Committee on Fellowships, to seniors or graduates of the college for the pursuit of advanced work. The proposed pro­ gram of study must have the approval of the faculty. Applications for fellowships must be in the hands of the committee by April 15. Ap­ plicants for any one of these fellowships will be considered for the others as well. These three fellowships are: The Hannah A. Leedom Fellowship of $1,100 founded by the bequest of Hannah A. Leedom. The Joshua Lippincott Fellowship of $1,400, founded by Howard W. Lippincott, of the Class of 1875, in memory of his father. The John Lockwood Memorial Fellowship of $1,400, founded by the bequest of Lydia A. Lockwood, New York, in memory of her brother, John Lockwood. It was the wish of the donor that the fel­ lowship be awarded to a member of the Society of Friends. Four other fellowships are open to graduates of Swarthmore Col­ lege under the conditions described below: The Lucretia Mott Fellowship, founded by the Somerville Literary Society and sustained by the contribution of its life members, yields an annual income of approximately $1,000. It is awarded each year by a committee of the faculty to a woman graduate of that year who is to pursue advanced study at some other institution approved by this committee. The Martha E. Tyson Fellowship, founded by the Somerville Lit­ erary Society in 1913, is sustained by the contributions of life mem­ bers of the society and yields an income of approximately $1,000. It is awarded biennially by a committee of the faculty to a woman 79 FELLOWSHIPS graduate of that year who plans to enter elementary or secondary school work. The recipient of the award is to pursue a course of study in an institution approved by the Committee of Award. Sigma Xi Research Fellowship. The Swarthmore Chapter of Sigma Xi appoints, from time to time, as funds are available, Fellows with research grants with a maximum value of $1,000. The holders of this fellowship are usually associates of the chapter who have shown con­ spicuous ability in graduate studies. The purpose of the chapter in awarding these fellowships is to relieve worthy students from teach­ ing and other distracting duties so that they may concentrate as much as possible upon their research. Applications for these fellowships should be made to the secretary of the chapter not later than the mid­ dle of March. Appointments will be announced about the middle of April. 80 COURSES OF IN ST R U C T IO N A Physics Class in the Du Pont Lecture Room COURSES OF IN ST R U C T IO N The course (semester course) is the unit of credit.

Program in Studio Arts HARRIET SHORR BAGUSKAS, Artist in Residence JOSEPH BAILEY WILL BROWN LORRAINE SCHECHTER KIT YIN TIENG SNYDER The Studio Arts program at Swarthmore, designed to develop the visual intelligence and analogic thinking, is based on a group meeting or “crit” where student work is discussed by an instructor in the program or by a visiting artist. Instructors and students in Studio Arts courses design the curriculum in re­ 86 ART sponse to the needs of students and the development of their work as revealed by the-crit. Visiting artists and exhibitions in the Wilcox Gallery are integral to the program. The Visual Idea is the introductory course and is normally required of students entering the program. Courses vary depending on the needs of students and decisions of instructors concerning those needs, but offerings in painting, drawing, print-making, sculpture, pottery, and photography and film are the foundation of the program, though not all of these are offered for credit. Courses involve three consecutive hours of studio instruction and three consecutive hours of workshop. Students may receive credit for work in drawing, painting, print-making, and sculpture after a semester’s work in The Visual Idea or on the basis of the presentation of a portfolio of work to the instructing staff. The portfolio may be the result of a semester’s work in Studio Arts without credit. The instructors, engaged on a part-time basis, spend a full day each week available to students who are enrolled in their courses as well as to those students who wish to talk to them more generally. The program is guided by an artist-in-residence who is a full-time faculty member and maintains a studio at the College. 1. The Visual Idea. problems in both two possibilities for form form.

HERSHEY, Research Associate and Lecturer SARAH LEE LIPPINCOTT, Research Associate and Lecturer KYONGAE CHANG, Research Assistant Astronomy deals with the nature of the universe about us and the methods em­ ployed to discover the laws underlying the observed phenomena. The elementary courses present the problems in broad outlines and trace the growth of our knowledge of the facts and development of theories. The advanced courses con­ sider some of these problems in detail. The seminars deal primarily w ith the techniques, methods and problems of the Sproul Observatory research program. The principal instrument of the Sproul Observatory is the twenty-four-inch visual refractor of thirty-six-foot focal length, used almost exclusively for photog­ raphy. The instrument, recently renovated, has been in operation since 1912 and provides a valuable and steadily expanding collection of photographs. Measuring and calculating machines are available for the measurement and reduction of the photographs. The principal program of the Observatory is an accurate study of the distances, motions and masses of the nearer stellar systems. The Sproul Observatory is open to visitors on the second Tuesday night of each month during the college year—October through May. With clear weather, visitors have the opportunity of seeing many celestial objects of various types in the course of a year. The visiting hours are from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the fall and winter, but are set later during the spring.

FLEMISTER, Professor LUZERNE G. LIVINGSTON, Professor NORMAN A. ME1NKOTH, Professor and Chairman NEAL A. WEBER, Professor KENNETH S. RAWSON, Associate Professor JAMES C. HICKMAN, Assistant Professor JOHN B. JENKINS, JR., Assistant Professor ROBERT E. SAVAGE, Assistant Professor BARBARA Y. STEWART, Assistant JEAN D. TOMEZSKO, Assistant The student may be introduced to the study of biology by taking Biology 1 and Biology 2. Either course may be taken first. Together they offer an overview of the field of biology. Biology 1 considers those principles and phenomena funda­ mental to all living systems, emphasizing cellular aspects. Biology 2 stresses the organism. Advanced courses are listed under three categories: those dealing specifically with plant biology (Botany), or animal biology (Zoology), and those whose subject matter deals with phenomena common to all living organisms (Biology). Advanced work is taken up in two different ways: first, specific aspects of the broad subjects are treated in a comparative manner as in anatomy and physiol­ ogy; second, broader aspects of a specific subject are treated as in entomology, parasitology, embryology, genetics and developmental plant anatomy. The struc­ tural and functional consideration is extended to include problems of interde­ pendence of organisms in plant and animal societies and the influence of physical, chemical and biological factors in the survival of those societies. Requirements and R e co mme n da t i on s A student may elect to major in biology, botany or zoology. Students in Course should include the following supporting subjects in addition to the eight courses in their major subject: chemistry, including at least one semester in organic chemistry, two courses in physics and two in mathematics. These courses are required for majors in botany or zoology, and should be completed by the end of the junior year. The program for biology majors may be modified in respect to outside requirements when the department considers cause for such modification to be sufficient. H onors W ork Requirements for admission to Honors with major work in the department in­ clude: Biology 1 and 2, another course in the department, chemistry through organic chemistry, physics, and first year mathematics. It should be noted that 90 BIOLOGY certain subjects likely to be chosen as minors in other departments require a second year of mathematics. Honors students in this department may designate a major in biology, botany or zoology according to their preferences. Offerings listed under Biology may be included in a major in botany or zoology, but a botany major may not include papers listed as Zoology nor the zoology major include those listed under Botany. A major in biology will by definition include papers selected from among the total departmental Honors offerings. Any Honors program in the biological sci­ ences must include at least two papers outside the department. Students planning a minor in biology, botany or zoology should note the pre­ requisites listed for each seminar, and consult with the department chairman. Biology 1. Principles of Biology.

Staff. BLACK STUDIES CLEMENT COTTINGHAM, JR., Director The Black Studies concentration offers students the opportunity to develop a deeper and broader understanding of the experiences, cultures, and goals of black people, especially those in Africa and in the Americas. Because of the unique nature of this area of study, the program offered will differ in some respects from those of more institutionalized disciplines, and considerable flexi­ bility will be required. Therefore, students in the concentration will need to work very closely both with the chairman of their department and the director of the Black Studies program in working out their programs for each semester. 96 BLACK STUDIES P rogram F eatures and R eq u irem en ts Students majoring in any subject bearing on Black Studies will be permitted to concentrate in this area as an aspect of the work in their major. The subjects normally falling in this category are Art History, Economics, English, History, Music, Political Science, Religion, and Sociology-Anthropology. However, other combinations are possible: for example, students seeking careers in urban plan­ ning through an Engineering major or in health planning through a Biology major may wish to concentrate in Black Studies. To concentrate in this area a student must take at least five semester courses in the program, as well as fulfill the requirements of his major. Courses selected must include a course in black history or in black consciousness and a course involving work off-campus directly concerned with black problems. Other courses may be taken according to individual preference. The work of students concentrating in Black Studies will be reviewed and evaluated when completed by whatever means, such as a comprehensive or a thesis, considered appropriate by the director of the program. C ourse O ffering s As already noted, courses in Black Studies will vary in particular semesters but the principal offerings which will be generally available are listed below (for descriptions of courses, see department statements in the catalogue).

NORTH, Professor and Chairman MARTIN OSTWALD, Professort RUSSELL MEIGGS, Cornell Visiting Professor JULIA HAIG GAISSER, Assistant Professor THOMAS N. MITCHELL, Assistant Professor GILBERT P. ROSE, Assistant Professort The Department of Classics offers instruction in the various fields which con­ stitute the study of Greek and Roman culture. Courses numbered from 1 to 20 are devoted to the Greek and Latin languages and literatures. Courses numbered from 31 onwards presuppose no knowledge of the Greek or Latin languages and are open (except for 42 and 44) without prerequisite to all students; they deal with the history, mythology, religion, archaeology, and other aspects of the ancient world and include the study of classical literature in translation. Swarthmore College contributes to the American Academy in Rome and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, and its students have the privi­ leges accorded to undergraduates from contributing institutions (use of the library at both schools and consultation with the staff). Swarthmore is also one of the institutions sponsoring the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome, which provides facilities for the study of Classics, Archaeology, and Ancient History. Classics majors, recommended by the Department, are eligible to study at the Center, usually during their junior year, either for one semester or for two. R eq u irem en ts and R eco m m end a tio ns Greek, Latin, or Ancient History may be offered as a major subject either in Course or in Honors, and as a minor subject in Honors. A major in Greek or Latin in Honors or in Course should complete during the first two years either Intermediate Greek or Intermediate Latin. In Honors, a major in Greek is also expected to study Latin through the intermediate level and a major in Latin is expected to study Greek through the intermediate level before graduation. Minor students in Honors should complete during the first two years either Intermediate Greek or Intermediate Latin. Majors in both Honors and Course are strongly advised to take for at least one semester a course in prose composition (Greek 9,10 or Latin 9,10). In the Honors program, three or four papers constitute a major in Greek or in Latin. Normally all but one of these will be prepared for by seminars. Either Directed Reading in a field in which a seminar is not given (courses 17,18), a thesis, or a course supplemented by additional independent work (i.e., an “attachment”) may be used to prepare for the remaining paper. A minimum of two papers constitutes a minor in Greek or in Latin, at least one of which must be prepared for by a seminar. A major in Ancient History will consist of (1) Classics 42, with attachments, (2) Classics 44, with attachments, and (3) either or both of the following: Greek 113, Latin 102. The prerequisites for Classics 42 and 44 are Classics 31 and 32. For Greek 113 the prerequisite is one year of Intermediate Greek, for Latin 102, one year of Intermediate Latin.

BOWLER, Associate Professort RAYMOND DOBY, Associate Professor M. JOSEPH WILLIS, Associate Professor G. STUART PATTERSON, JR., Assistant Professort VICTOR K. SCHÜTZ, Assistant Professort The Department of Engineering offers engineering programs directed toward four principal educational aims: to introduce the student to a body of knowledge fundamental to all of modern engineering; to provide him with a comprehensive base of mathematics, chemistry and physics; to allow him maximum flexibility in electing plans of study to suit individual objectives; to provide him the oppor­ tunity to study in the humanities and social sciences. The overall plan leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science with the major in Engineering is accredited by the Engineers’ Council for Professional Development. The professional practice of engineering requires skill and resourcefulness in applying scientific knowledge and methods to the solution of engineering prob­ lems of ever growing technical complexity. In addition, the role of engineering in our society demands that the engineer recognize and take into account the eco­ nomic and social factors that bear on his technical problems. The successful engi­ neer will therefore possess an understanding of socio-economic forces, an appre­ ciation of the cultural and humanistic aspects of the society in which he lives, and a sound working knowledge of human relations. O ur total program furthers these objectives by providing the student with a broad technical knowledge, to­ gether with the foundation of a liberal education. tAbsent on leave, spring semester, 1970-71. $Absent on leave, 1970-71. Ill ENGINEERING Courses in the Department of Engineering are open to all students who have the interest and the prerequisite background. Special inquiries may be made through the chairman of the department. Courses E l, E2, E7, E8 and E56 may be especially relevant to some student programs. The use of the College’s computer facilities is central to an engineering educa­ tion at Swarthmore. The Department has developed a number of courses dealing with computers which would be of interest to students in all departments of the College. These include an introductory course in Digital Computers, a course in Special Computer Topics, and a course in Special Topics—Numerical Analysis for Computers. Additional courses will be offered if the demand warrants. Educational plans available to engineering students at Swarthmore are as follows: (1) Four year course programs w ith the major in Engineering, with elected concentrations of study in the professional branches of engineering such as Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, and in related engineer­ ing areas. (See suggested Elective Plans). (2) Four year course programs with the major in Engineering, w ith elected combinations of study in Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics, Political Science, etc. (3) Reading for Honors in Engineering. (4) Special combinations to meet unusual needs or interests: (a) A four year program relating Engineering with other College areas of study, or (b) A five year program leading to both a B.S. degree with a major in Engineering, and a B.A. degree. A candidate for a degree in Engineering must meet the general requirements of the College as well as the requirements of the Department of Engineering. Cur­ ricular plans for the first two years must take two objectives into consideration: (1) courses should provide an adequate background for work in Engineering at the upperclass level, and (2) the satisfying of the general College requirements. During the second semester of the sophomore year the student, following College procedure, will apply for a major in Engineering. All four-year programs lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science with the major in Engineering. Course Program The prerequisites leading to a major in Engineering are Engineering 1 and Engineering 2 in the first year and Engineering 11 and Engineering 12 in the second year. Prospective Engineering majors are strongly urged to enroll in ap­ propriate courses in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. In special cases, stu­ dents with preparation comparable to, but differing from, the above may apply to major in Engineering after consultation w ith the department chairman. The departmental requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in Engineering fall into two categories: (1) satisfactory completion of those courses common to all Engineering students; namely, Fields and Continua, Thermodynamics, Structure and Properties of Materials, and Theoretical Chem­ istry; (2) satisfactory completion of a minimum of four advanced Engineering courses beyond those listed in category (1) during the junior and senior years with no more than seven such courses normally permitted in any program. All programs leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with the major in Engineer­ ing must be submitted for approval to the Department of Engineering. Course Advising Students are advised to make their educational goals known to their advisers at the earliest possible time. In this way the student can best benefit from the 112 ENGINEERING flexibility provided for course election and provide for a curricular program specifically oriented to his future educational goals. The plan for upperclass study in Engineering should be formulated during the second semester of the sophomore year when the student applies for a major in Engineering. Reading for Honors in Engineering Students who wish to become candidates for a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering with Honors should follow the application procedure given on pages 58-60. A student’s program should include seminars and/o r other work in Engineer­ ing and, normally, science and mathematics. A student who wishes to concen­ trate in civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering may prepare for up to four examination papers in his chosen area. The other two papers will usually be chosen from mathematics, science, or (since the Engineering Department com­ prises the merged civil, electrical and mechanical departments) a branch of engineering other than the field of concentration. Elective Plans in the Course Program The following suggested plans of study for the last two years are listed to indi­ cate the flexibility of choice open to the student. Other plans may also be ar­ ranged beyond those suggested. At least four elected and approved advanced courses in Engineering must be included in the program of the junior and senior years. Electives in the humanities, social sciences and life sciences can also con­ tribute, in many cases, to the central educational aims. A course in Special Topics or a Thesis is available for meeting special interests or needs. Suggested Elective Plans Bio-E n g in eerin g The application of engineering principles to biological and medical problems. Students with this interest will normally elect two semesters of biology and two semesters of organic chemistry, and an appropriate se­ quence of engineering courses. Suggested se­ quences of study in this interdisciplinary field are available upon request or can be de­ veloped with the assistance of your Engineer­ ing adviser. A minimum of four Engi­ neering courses with addi­ tional elections in Engineer­ ing, Biology, and Chemistry. C ivil E n g in e e r in g and General Civil Engineering Structures Urban and Regional Plan­ ning Water Resources R elated A reas The suggested course program is Mechan­ ics of Solids, Structural Mechanics I, Earth Science, Civil Engineering Design, with a fifth course chosen from Fluid Mechanics, Structural Mechanics II, or Soil Engineering. The sequence provides the prerequisites for an additional elective sequence in Structures, Water Resources and Planning, Pre-Architec­ ture, or General Civil Engineering. Plans may be made for work in Bio-Engineering with an emphasis on Environmental Control and Water Resources. 113 ENGINEERING The early planning of electives in Biology, Economics, Political Science, Sociology, or Fine Arts, is essential for programs related to Urban and Regional Planning or Water Resources.

Con­ ventional sources and means of conversion will continue to be important. New and as yet undeveloped systems will become in­ creasingly significant. A concentration of elec­ trical and mechanical courses built on funda­ mental courses in thermodynamics can be developed for students w ith a special interest in energy conversion. Electromechanical Energy Conversion Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer E R Students who plan to do work in elec­ trical engineering will normally include the following courses in their programs: Cir­ cuit Theory, Electromagnetic Theory, Elec­ tronic Circuit Theory I (73). The program should be filled out with additional courses selected partly from those numbered 55 and 74 to 80, inclusive, ac­ cording to individual interest. The full pro­ gram may emphasize an area of study such as those listed at the left. n g in eerin g Scien ces A number of feasible pro­ grams may be elected from Engineering, M athem atics, Chemistry, Physics, with the engineering courses dealing primarily with the theoretical bodies of knowledge.

It is suitable for those planning to enter college teaching or engineering research after graduate study. W ith Study in reas An engineering student is required to in­ clude at least four approved engineering courses beyond the required engineering core. Fourteen electives, including the six to satisfy the College distribution requirements, are available for planning a sequence of study leading to concentrations or diversity in other College areas. The areas listed on the left are not exclusive but they do represent areas in which engineering students may find a strong interest and a relationship to future engineer­ ing work. ENGINEERING M ech a nica l E n g in eer in g and General Mechanical Engi­ neering Applied Mechanics Thermodynamics and Energy Conversion Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer Engineering Design R elated A reas Sequences in general mechanical engineer­ ing will normally include, in addition to the required engineering core, courses in ad­ vanced dynamics, solid mechanics, fluid me­ chanics and heat transfer, and automatic controls. Courses in thermodynamics, applied mechanics, fluids, heat transfer, and engineer­ ing design can be used to develop such spe­ cialized sequences as those shown at the left. Plans may be made for work in bio-engineering with an emphasis on the structure and function of biological systems. 1. Introduction to Engineering.

The departmental curricu­ lum is planned to provide experience of several critical approaches: the intensive study of the works of major writers, study of the literature of limited periods, and thorough study of the development of literary types. The department also provides instruction in the techniques of writing.

However, students con­ sidering a major in English are strongly urged to take one or two additional courses during the sophomore year. The study of history, particularly of the history of England, is also recommended. Advanced study in a classical or mod­ em foreign language is also desirable, and is virtually a requirement for admis­ sion to graduate school. Major in Course: The work of a major in Course consists of a minimum of eight semester-courses in the department, including Shakespeare and Problems of Lit­ erary Study and at least two other courses in literature written before 1800. ^Absent on leave, 1970-71. 121 ENGLISH LITERATURE Major in Honors: Majors in Honors must take three or four seminars in the de­ partment, two of which should be from Group I.

WOOD, JR., Assistant Professor MARGARET A. YARVIN, Assistant Professor TSING YUAN, Assistant Professor* ROBERT D. CROSS, President JAMES F. GOV AN, Librarian The Department of History attempts to give students a sense of the past, an acquaintance with the cultural and institutional developments which have pro­ duced the world of today, and an understanding of the nature of history as a discipline. The courses of the department emphasize less the accumulation of data than the investigation, from various points of view, of those ideas and insti­ tutions—political, religious, social, economic—by which man has endeavored to order his world. R eq u irem en ts and R eco m m end a tio ns Prerequisites: Any one of the introductory history courses (those numbered 1 through 9), or its equivalent by Advanced Placement, is the prerequisite for ad­ vanced history courses open to students of all classes (those numbered 11 through 49). In the sophomore and junior years, with the consent of the instruc­ tor and of the department chairman, an advanced course may be taken concur­ rently with an introductory course. In the senior year advanced courses may, with the consent of the instructor, be taken without prerequisite. The prerequisite for admission to the department as a major in Course or Honors or as a minor in Honors is at least two history courses taken at Swarthmore and a satisfactory standard of work in all courses. Advanced Placement: The department will grant one semester’s credit for in­ coming students who have achieved a score of 4 or 5 in Advanced Placement his­ tory tests. This credit may be counted toward the number of courses required for graduation. It may be used in partial fulfillment of the college distribution re­ quirements. It may serve as the prerequisite for advanced courses in history. Major in Course: The work of the major in Course consists of at least eight semester courses in the department, one of which is History 68. The choice of courses is made so as to prepare for a comprehensive examination, in the spring of the senior year, on three of the four following fields: (1) Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern Europe; (2) Modern Europe; (3) the United States; (4) Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Students are expected to take at least two courses (introductory or advanced) in each of the three fields on which they intend to be examined. Major and minor in Honors: Students entering the Honors program may elect history as a major or a minor in the Division of the Humanities, in the Division of the Social Sciences, or in cross-divisional programs. Majors in Honors may take either three or four seminars in the department. Minors in Honors are ordinarily expected to take at least two seminars. t Absent on leave, spring semester, 1970-71. t Absent on leave, 1970-71. ♦Absent on leave, fall semester, 1970-71. 126 HISTORY General: Students seriously considering a major in history should try to take more than two history courses during their freshman and sophomore years.

GLEITMAN, Associate Professor Linguistics is the study of human language. The discovery and description of universal features characterizing all languages is the primary theoretical goal. Specifically, synchronic linguistics is the study of the syntactic, phono­ logical, and semantic structure of language; diachronic linguistics approaches these issues through the study of genetic language relationships. Linguistic studies are closely linked with broad issues in the social sciences. Possible connections between language typology and culture have made language a central concern of anthropologists and sociologists. Psychologists have recog­ nized that language studies bear on fundamental issues in human cognitive organization. The resulting collaboration between linguists and psychologists (Psycholinguistics) is among the more hopeful current directions in the study of cognition. Students of individual languages and students of philosophy and mathematics may also find linguistics relevant to their academic concerns. The linguistics program of studies (which is not a major) can usefully be sup­ plemented with courses in a number of related areas. Of particular interest to students of language are Cognitive Development (Psychology), Language, Culture and Society (Anthropology), and The Philosophy of Language (Philos­ ophy) . Students of linguistics will also find their background enhanced by com­ parative studies of various languages (particularly the nonlndoEuropean lan­ guages) , and by some acquaintance with concepts of logic and modern algebra. 1. Introduction to Linguistics. Languages of the world; language change; dialect; human and animal languages; concepts in synchronic linguistics: syntax, semantics, and phonology; transformational and structural grammars; reading and writing. Fall semester. Mrs. Gleitman. 2. The Psychology of Language. Developmental linguistics (acquisition of a first language) ; the origins of language; the perception and use of language; bilingualism; linguistic abnormalities (aphasia, deafness, anarthria) ; dialect and the social context; linguistic determinism; machine translation and information retrieval; issues in cognitive psychology.

This course is designed primarily for students involved in reading tutorial programs, and for those intending to teach. At issue is the problem of reading in both its conceptual and social aspects. Students will tutor or assist in teaching reading as part of the course work. Weekly meetings with the instructor will concern theoretical issues in phonology, reading, and writing; methods of teaching; and discussion of the ongoing tutorial programs. Spring semester.

MATHEMATICS DAVID ROSEN, Professor and Chairman JAMES W. ENGLAND, Associate Professor STEVENS HECKSCHER, Associate Professor EUGENE A. KLOTZ, Associate Professor ROLAND B. di FRANCO, Assistant Professor THOMAS W. HAWKINS, Assistant Professor J. EDWARD SKEATH, Assistant Professor Pure mathematics is an abstract subject and may be looked upon as the model of a deductive science. On the other hand, the subject matter of mathematics has for the most part arisen out of concrete applications to the physical sciences, among which geometry occupies a central position. The courses offered in the Department of Mathematics attempt to combine these points of view and to give a picture of the power and beauty of the subject when studied for its own sake, as well as its many relations to other fields of thought. The study of mathematics is essential as a tool for the understanding of the principles of the physical sci­ ences and engineering; a knowledge of its techniques is indispensable for a suc­ cessful pursuit of these subjects. The same is becoming increasingly true in the biological sciences and the social sciences. The sequence consisting of Courses 5, 6, 11, 22 forms the normal preparation for further work in mathematics as well as for work in physics, other sciences, and engineering. Courses 7, 8 are Honors courses and can be taken in place of Courses 5, 6 by properly qualified students. Those students who have obtained a grade of 3 or better on the Advanced Placement AB examination normally take Course 6 while those who similarly qualify in the BC examination normally take Course 11. A student who wishes to major in mathematics in Course must complete six courses in addition to the normal sequence of four courses listed above. It is expected that a Course major in mathematics will take some advanced courses from the three major areas, namely analysis, algebra, topology-geometry. Physics 1, 2 is highly recommended and a reading knowledge of French, German, or Russian is desirable for all mathematics majors. In order to be admitted to the Honors program with work in mathematics a student must have completed Course 22. An Honors student with a major in mathematics will normally take in his junior year seminars 101 (Real Analysis), and 102 (Modern Algebra). In his senior year he will normally take seminars 103 (Complex Analysis), and 104 (Topology); or 105 (Probability and Statistics),. An Honors student minoring in mathematics will normally offer two papers in mathematics. A student may use Courses 51, 52 as partial preparation for an Honors paper in mathematics. 134 MATHEMATICS Mathematics majors in Course or Honors automatically meet the mathematics requirements for being certified to teach mathematics in secondary school. Min­ imum requirements for certification in mathematics are: (a) 5 and 6; (b) one course from 24, 41, 42, 102; (c) one course from 23, 53,104; (d) two additional courses that may be taken from 11, 14, 22, 30, 51, 52, 101, 103, 105. Certification to teach mathematics in secondary school requires departmental recommenda­ tion. I. Elementary Statistics. This is a non-calculus statistics course available to students in all disciplines. It does not satisfy any mathematics prerequisite nor can it be counted toward a major or minor in the department. The course begins with an introduction to discrete probability, and then shifts to methods and techniques of statistical inference such as assembling and handling data, estima­ tion of parameters, hypothesis testing, correlation and regression analysis. Other topics will be considered as desired by the class. Fall semester. 3,4. Probability and Calculus for the Biological and Social Sciences. This course is intended to introduce biology and social science majors to the concepts and techniques of probability and calculus.

ELKE PLAXTON (German), Visiting Lecturer HELEN P. SHAT AGIN (Russian), Visiting Lecturer URBAIN J. DE WINTER (Spanish), Assistant The purpose of the departmental major is to acquaint the student w ith the important periods and major figures in the literature of France, the German­ speaking countries, Russia, Spain and Latin-America, and to provide training in critical analysis while developing his appreciation of literary and cultural values. Courses numbered 1 through 6 are primarily designed to help students acquire the linguistic competence necessary to pursue literary studies in a foreign lan­ guage through work with the language and selected literary texts. For a detailed description of the orientation in these courses see the Explanatory Note on language courses below. Courses numbered 11 or above stress the study of literature as a humanistic discipline but also have as one of their aims the achievement of competence in the spoken and written language. Students who show unusual promise or a willingness to do intensive supple­ mentary work can major or enter Honors seminars in a language started in college, but in general, students planning to major in a foreign language and its literature are advised to present enough credits upon admission to enable them to register for courses numbered 11 and 12 in their freshman year or at the very latest by the beginning of the sophomore year. Students who enter w ith no previous knowledge of the foreign language but who are interested in major­ ing in it should register for the intensive course (1B-2B) in their freshman year. Language courses numbered 1 through 5 do not count toward the minimum of eight courses required for the major. Students who w ant to continue a language begun elsewhere will be placed at the course level where they will profit best according to the rating of the College Entrance Examination or placement tests administered by the depart­ ment. Students who place in courses numbered 1 through 4 must in addition take the Modern Language Aptitude Test during freshman orientation. Students beginning their study of a foreign language at Swarthmore are also required to take the Modern Language Aptitude Test. Swarthmore College does not offer courses in Italian but arrangements have tAbsent on leave, spring semester, 1970-71. t Absent on leave, 1970-71. 139 MODERN LANGUAGES been made at neighboring institutions which will permit students to study Italian if they so desire. PMC, in Chester, offers courses in first-year and second-year Italian, each meeting three times a week. Students interested in registering for these courses should consult the Chairman of the department. Prerequisites for majors are noted under the listing of each of the literatures taught. Exceptions to course requirements are made for those who show com­ petence in the language of specialization. Students who speak French, German, Russian or Spanish fluently should consult with the department before electing courses. Majors are urged (a) to elect supporting courses in other literatures (classical or m odem ), History, Philosophy, Political Science, Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology, Art History and Music; (b) to investigate seriously the possibility of spending, during or after their sophomore year, at least a summer and a semester abroad. Interested students should request assistance of departmental advisers familiar with programs in foreign countries. Students wishing to receive teaching certificates in French, German, Russian or Spanish should plan on taking the regular program of language and litera­ ture courses required for the major or show proof of the equivalent. In addi­ tion, they should take Linguistics 1 and courses in the foreign history and cul­ ture to prepare them for the MLA Foreign Language Test for Teachers and Advanced Students. This examination consists of seven sections: the four basic skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), Applied Linguistics, Culture, and Professional Education. In order to be certified, students must pass this examination at the level of “good.” Prospective teachers of a foreign language are urged to include in their program at least a summer and a semester abroad. Students planning to do graduate work are reminded that, in addition to the language of specialization, a reading knowledge of other languages is generally required for admission to advanced studies. Students who need advice concern­ ing the choice of languages should consult with the department. Continental European Literature (Courses conducted in English) Students acquainted with a particular foreign language would do best to elect the appropriate literature course taught in the original language and not the corresponding CEL 12 or CEL 50, though they might well take one in another literature. These courses cannot be substituted for the 11 or 12 level courses in the original languages to satisfy the departmental prerequisites for a major or minor. The CEL 50s may in some cases form an appropriate part of the upperlevel work in the major in one of the foreign literatures or serve as the basis of preparation for an Honors paper. Students planning programs where such considerations would apply must consult with the department. CEL 12 and CEL 50 courses will be offered according to the following seqUenC6: 1970-71 Fall CEL 12 French CEL 50 Spanish Spring CEL 12 German CEL 50 Russian 1971-72 Spring Fall CEL 12 Russian CEL 12 Spanish CEL 50 German CEL 50 French 12F.

E xplanatory N ote on L anguage C o u r ses N u m b e r ed 1 T h r o u g h 4 French, German, Russian and Spanish language courses numbered 1 through 4 are taught in sections with different orientations. The work load for courses numbered 1 through 4 without a postscript capital and those numbered 1A through 4A is similar except that students in A sections prepare a greater pro­ portion of their daily assignments under the supervision of a specialist who speaks the target language natively. Courses numbered IB through 3B are more intensive than those numbered with or without the postscript capital A and carry extra credit. a. Courses numbered 1 through 4 without a postscript capital combine the presentation or review of grammar essentials w ith extensive reading and translation of texts of literary, cultural or general interest. These courses meet three times per week with additional sessions in the language labora­ tory as assigned. These courses do not normally prepare students for the intermediate or advanced courses in literature taught in the original lan­ guage. Admission contingent upon departmental testing. b. Courses numbered 1A through 4A are designed to impart an active com­ mand of the language and combine the study or review of grammar essen­ tials and readings of literary texts w ith intensive practice to develop the ability to speak the language. This orientation is recommended for those interested in acquiring a thorough command of the language or in preparing for intermediate or advanced courses in literature taught in the original language. These courses (a) meet as one section for grammar presentation and in small groups for oral practice with a special instructor (b) require periodic w ork in the language laboratory. Admission contingent upon de­ partmental testing. c. Courses numbered IB through 3B are similar in orientation to those des­ ignated with a capital A but meet more frequently for extra credit. Three semesters in this sequence 1B-2B, 3B are the equivalent of two years of work at the college level. Recommended for students who w ant to pro­ gress rapidly and especially for those with no previous knowledge of the language who are considering majoring in that literature. French French may be offered as a major in Course or as a major or minor in Honors. Prerequisites for both Course and Honors students are as follows: Required: French 6, 11 and 12; the equivalent, or evidence of special compe­ tence. Recommended supporting subjects: see the introductory departmental state­ ment. 142 MODERN LANGUAGES Majors in Course and Honors, as well as minors in Honors, are expected to be sufficiently proficient in spoken and written French to do all of their work in French, i.e., discussions and papers in courses and seminars, and all oral and written examinations, including comprehensive and Honors examinations. Courses n o t e : Not all advanced courses are offered every year. Those announced for 1970-71 and 1971-72 guarantee adequate coverage for majors but do not pre­ clude additional offerings or special arrangements to satisfy manifest interest.

STEINBROOK, Instructor JANE A. COPPOCK, Lecturer CAROLINE M. CUNNINGHAM, Lecturer** GILBERT KALISH, Associate in Performance MICHAEL KORN, Associate in Performance ROBERT M. SMART, Associate in Performance PAUL ZUKOFSKY, Associate in Performance The study of music as a liberal art requires an integrated approach to theory, history and performance, experience in all three fields being essential to the un­ derstanding of music as an artistic and intellectual achievement. Theory courses and seminars train the student to work with musical materials, to understand modes of organization in compositions, and to evolve methods of musical analy­ sis. History courses and seminars introduce students to methods of studying the development of musical styles and genres, and the relationship of music to other arts and areas of thought. The department encourages students to develop performing skills through private study and through participation in the orches­ tra, chorus and chamber music coaching program which it staffs and administers. Scholarships are available to assist music majors who are talented instrumen­ talists or singers finance the cost of private instruction. Students wishing to combine instrumental or vocal studies outside the College w ith a major in music at Swarthmore can, with special permission from the de­ partm ent and the provost, elect a five-year plan of study, thus reducing the normal number of courses to be taken per semester. lAbsent on leave, 1970-71. “ Fall semester, 1970-71. 152 MUSI C Req u irem en ts and R eco m m end a tio ns Two semester courses in theory and one semester course in history are pre­ requisite for acceptance as a major. Majors will normally take six semester courses in theory (including Music 61-62), four semester courses in history (in­ cluding Music 15,16), and meet the basic piano requirement. Major in Honors: A student intending to major in Honors will generally stand for four papers in music. The department strongly recommends that one paper be a thesis or research project. Music 61-62, required of all majors, may be used as the basis of a paper. Papers in history can be prepared by tutorial, by seminar or by taking a history course with a concurrent or subsequent attached unit of additional research. Minors in Honors: A student intending to minor in Honors will generally stand for two papers in music. Two semester courses in theory and one semester course in history are prerequisite for a minor. Music 1 may, with permission of the department, be substituted for the theory prerequisite. Language Requirements for Graduate Schools: Students are advised that gradu­ ate work in music requires a reading knowledge of French and German. A reading knowledge of Latin is also desirable for students planning to do gradu­ ate work in musicology. Proficiency on an instrument: All majors in music will be expected to play a keyboard instrument well enough to perform at sight a two-part invention of J. S. Bach and a first movement of an easy late 18th or early 19th century sonata. By the end of the junior year they should be able to read chamber music scores, also vocal music in four clefs, and realize figured basses. The department recom­ mends that majors take one or two semesters of Music 39 to develop these skills. Students with exceptional proficiency in an instrument other than the piano, or in singing, will not be expected to meet the performing standards of pianists. The basic piano program: This program is designed to develop keyboard pro­ ficiency to a point where a student can effectively use the piano as a tool for study, also to help students meet the keyboard requirements outlined above. It is open to freshmen and sophomores planning to major in music. No aca­ demic credit is given for basic piano. C redit for P erformance A student who has taken Music 1, Music 11-12, or Music 13-14 (or who has equivalent prior training) has the option to receive credit for study of an instru­ ment or voice, participation in the department’s chamber music coaching pro­ gram, participation in the Swarthmore College Orchestra, and participation in the Swarthmore College Chorus. The amount of credit received will normally be a half-course in any one semester, and will usually be granted only to students participating for a full year in a particular activity. Students applying for credit will be given an audition at the beginning of the semester and will fulfill re­ quirements established for each activity, i.e. regular attendance at rehearsals and performances and participation in any supplementary classes held in con­ nection with the activity. Students will be graded on a pass-fail basis. A student applying for credit for study of an instrument or voice will first demonstrate to the department his ability to undertake such study at least at an intermediate level. He will arrange to work with a teacher of his choice, subject to approval of the department. The department will then supervise the course of study in any semester for which credit is to be given. The teacher will submit 153 MUSIC a written report of the student’s w ork at the close of the semester to be used by the department in making its evaluation. The department may use public per­ formance or a final audition as additional evidence for evaluating work. The College does not undertake to pay for instruction; the student is expected to make his own financial arrangements directly with the teacher.

MORRIS A. BOWIE, College Physician DR. HAROLD C. ROXBY, Team Physician The course in Men’s Physical Education is designed to promote an aware­ ness of one’s physical well being through a regular exercise program. In addi­ tion, the learning of new sports skills and the improvement of previously learned ones is achieved by planned instructional opportunities. Emphasis is placed on the individual, or so-called “carry-over” sports, as well as those involving a team effort. The intercollegiate athletic program is a comprehensive one with varsity schedules in eleven different sports. In many of these activities there are contests arranged for junior varsity teams, thus providing ample opportunity for large numbers of men to engage in intercollegiate competition. F aculty R e q u i r e m e nt s Physical Education is required of all non-veteran freshmen and sophomores unless excused by the College physician. By meeting certain minimum objec­ tives, one may be exempted from the program after satisfactorily completing one year’s work. During participation in the program men students must participate in their assigned activity a minimum of three hours per week. All men not excused for medical or other reasons are expected to fulfill this requirement. A semester’s work failed in the first two years must be repeated in the Junior year. No man with a deficiency in physical education is permitted to enter his Senior year.

HESS, Chairman and Associate Professor IRENE MOLL, Associate Professor MARY ANN YOUNG, Assistant Professor PATRICIA BOYER, Lecturer JANICE FELLMAN, Lecturer DR. MORRIS A. BOWIE, College Physician The aim of the Department is to contribute to the education of all women students through the medium of physical activity. We believe this contribution can best be achieved through participation in a broad program of sports, dance and developmental activities. The program provides: instruction and experience in sports and dancing; swimming instruction on all levels; corrective and devel­ opmental exercises. It is our hope that the student will also acquire: apprecia­ tion of the dance as an art form; good sportsmanship; added endurance; good posture; leadership training; joy in outdoor exercise; and a program of interests and skills that will carry over for her after college, so she may become a useful part of her community. Classes are kept small to insure individual attention, and students are grouped where possible according to ability. Ample opportunities are given for intra­ mural and intercollegiate competition, as well as for public performances and demonstrations. Freshmen and sophomores take three periods of activity each week. These may be elected from classes listed below with the stipulation that they take swimming for a maximum of one semester if they fail to pass the swimming test. In the sophomore year, the department encourages the students to develop greater initiative in planning their own programs of physical activity by grant­ ing greater freedom in the fulfillment of the requirement through a variety of programs worked out by the student and the department. After a minimum period of instruction, a student may apply for exemption from the required program and may be exempted if she successfully passes a series of tests administered by the department. In addition to the departmental requirements, the faculty regulations state the following: “ If any semester’s work of the first two years is failed, it shall be repeated in the junior year. No student shall be permitted to enter her senior year with a deficiency in physical education.” Regulation costumes should be ordered before college opens. Blanks for this purpose will be sent out from the Office of the Dean to all incoming students.•* • Intercollegiate competition only. ** Intercollegiate competition and course instruction, t Some co-ed sections. 162 PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN A ctiv ities Archery.* Fall and Spring.

HEALD, Professor and Chairman PAUL C. MANGELSDORF, ]R., Professor ALBURT M. ROSENBERG, Associate Professor JOHN R. BOCCIO, Assistant Professort CYRUS D. CANTRELL, Assistant Professort The physics department, through its introductory course in general physics, endeavors to give an integrated account of basic physics. In this course, as well as in the advanced work of the department, emphasis is placed on quantitative, analytical reasoning, as distinct from the mere acquisition of facts and skills. The introductory course makes no pretense of covering all material of interest to physicists, but rather comprises a selection of topics which form a coherent group. Advanced work in the department involves a more intensive study of topics covered at the introductory level, and of many phases of modern physics which require a considerable background in mathematics and electricity. In all courses and seminars particular importance is attached to laboratory work, since physics is primarily an experimental science. Honors candidates taking physics seminars accompanied by experimental work must submit their laboratory notebooks to the visiting examiners for their inspection. In addition to curricular work, students are encouraged to pursue research projects in consultation with members of the faculty. Good shop facilities, a wide range of electronic instrumentation, and the Computer Center are available in support of independent work. The Department holds research colloquia jointly w ith the Bartol Research Foundation, which is located on the Swarthmore campus and which offers a Ph.D. program in physics through an affiliation with Thomas Jefferson University (see p. 68). In special cases Swarthmore stu­ dents may take graduate courses at Bartol or at the University of Pennsylvania. R eq u irem en ts and R eco m m en d a tio n s Students who intend to major in physics normally take Physics 1,2 and Chem­ istry 3, 4 in the freshman year and Physics 11, 12 in the sophomore year. In addition they should complete Mathematics 12 by the end of their sophomore year. In view of graduate school requirements and of the extensive literature of physics in French, German and Russian, it is strongly recommended that the stu­ dent fulfill his language requirement in one of these languages. Satisfactory work in Physics 1, 2 or its equivalent is prerequisite for all further work in the department, and Chemistry 2 or 4 is a prerequisite for Physics 112 and 114. Honors students majoring in physics normally take Physics 102, 106, 112, in that order, and Mathematics 51, 52, and 104. Physics 114 or a second mathe­ matics seminar is encouraged but not required. Other seminars and courses in the program may be chosen to meet the interests of the student. Normally a stu­ dent will present four papers in physics and two in mathematics to the visiting examiners. Such a program is a particularly satisfactory way of preparing for graduate or other professional work in physics or mathematics. However, it constitutes in itself an effective educational program, since the aim throughout is to achieve an understanding of fundamental ideas and concepts, as distinct from the mastery of information, skills, and techniques in a limited segment of science. Honors students minoring in physics may prepare for examinations by taking Physics 11,12, as well as by one or more seminars. Course students majoring in physics normally complete the following courses in their junior and senior years: Mathematics 51, 52; Chemistry 61, 62; and t Absent on leave, 1970-71. 164 PHYSICS Physics 51, 52, 54, 71, 72. It is recommended that Physics 60 or additional work in engineering or chemistry be included in the program of Course students who intend to do graduate work in physics. This program provides a well-rounded study of physics, and by requiring less intensive concentration than an Honors program offers the student the opportunity to extend his work outside the Divi­ sion of the Natural Sciences. It should also meet the needs of those who wish to teach science in secondary school. Secondary school students who are considering majoring in physics at Swarthmore are strongly encouraged to complete four years of mathematics and a minimum of two years of either French or Russian, or German if neither of these is available. I , 2. General Physics. An introductory course in basic physics. During the first semester special emphasis is placed on mechanics, conservation principles, harmonic motion, wave motion and heat.

For the beginning student, the department offers courses dealing generally with the basic concepts of political science and the processes of politics as illustrated by case studies, by theoretical analysis, and by more extended study of the elements of politics in various institutional settings. In appropriate places throughout the curriculum, attention is focused on problems of change (evolutionary and revolutionary), freedom and authority, w ar and peace—and on the development of political institutions that are responsive to the needs of our day. Courses are provided that give special attention to political theory, comparative political systems, political development, politics and government in the United States, and international relations. R eq u irem en ts and R eco m m en d a tio n s Students planning to study political science are strongly advised to start with Elements of Politics (Political Science 1), and to continue with one or more of the other introductory level courses, Policy-Making in America (Political Science 2), Comparative Politics (Political Science 3), International Politics (Political Science 4). Any one of these courses may be taken without pre­ requisite and as a terminal course. Normally any two of these courses, pre­ ferably including Political Science 1, constitute the prerequisite for further work in the department. Students who intend to major in political science should begin their work in the freshman year if possible. Political Theory, either in seminar for Honors students, or in course (Political Science 54) for Course students, is required of all majors. Course majors must take Political Science 60. P rogram in I n tern a tio n a l R elation s Students who plan to enter upon a career in the field of international relations should include in their programs, during the first two years, introductory courses in economics, history, and political science and should complete the in­ termediate course in one or more modern languages. Advanced courses selected from the groups listed below may be incorporated in the programs of students who do their major work in economics, history, political science, or a modern language. Those students who wish to concentrate in international relations may take their Senior Comprehensive Examination in this field. Students preparing for this examination should take eight, nine, or ten courses from among those listed below, including all of those listed in Group I, one or more in Group II, and one or more in Group III. A thesis or other form of independent work is strongly recommended. The examination is administered by a committee ap­ pointed by the chairmen of the Departments of Economics, History, and Political Science, under the chairmanship of the Department of Political Science.

In planning such programs, they should consult with the chairman of their prospective major department. 1. Elements of Politics. Using materials particularly from the United States and the Soviet Union, but drawing also on experiences of other societies, this course asks: Who governs? How? Under w hat constraints? It therefore in­ volves a study of the basic institutions, concepts and moving forces of politics. Through the use of readings from contemporary political scientists, it also presents an introduction to the analytical tools and methods of the discipline. Normative problems of freedom and authority, equality and inequality, obliga­ tion and protest, are considered in conjunction with the study of political forces and institutions. Fall semester.

GORDON HAMMER, Visiting Professor*** SHEL FELDMAN, Associate Professor KENNETH J. GERGEN, Associate Professor and Chairman DEAN PEABODY, Associate Professor JEFFREY TRAVERS, Assistant Professor JOSEPH W. BERNHEIM, Instructor MARY K. GERGEN, Research Associate The w ork of the Department of Psychology deals with the scientific study of human behavior and experience; the basic processes of perception, learning, thinking and motivation, and consideration of their relation to development of the individual personality; and the social relations of the individual to other per­ sons and to groups. For those students planning graduate and professional work in psychology the courses and seminars of the department are designed to provide a sound basis of understanding of psychological principles and a grasp of research method. Other students learn the nature of psychological inquiry and the psychological approach to various problems encountered in the humanities, the social sciences and the life sciences. R eq u irem en ts and R eco m m end a tio ns The course Introduction to Psychology is normally required before advanced work may be taken. However, students whose grades are generally in the honors range and who have had significant background in either the natural or social sciences may apply to individual instructors for entrance to courses beyond the elementary level. Majors should include advanced work in two areas of psychology: (a) basic processes underlying human and animal behavior, such as perception, learning and physiological psychology; (b) human behavior in its social context, such as personality, child psychology, social psychology. Majors in Course should take at least two courses and majors in Honors, at least one seminar from each area. It is highly desirable for all majors to take at least one course providing them with experience in basic research (e.g. Psychology 54 or 69). In addition, all majors in Course are encouraged to enroll in Psychology 64 during the spring semester of their senior year. This course is especially suited for preparation for the comprehensive examinations. tAbsent on leave, 1970-71. **Fall semester, 1970-71. 174 PSYCHOLOGY 3. Introduction to Psychology.

Understanding of religion is achieved by philosophi­ cal, historical, literary, and sociological analysis of religious experience, thought, texts, rites and ceremonies, institutions. Department offerings are designed to jAbsent on leave, 1970-71. 178 RELIGION provide illustrations of the various ways in which religion can be studied in an academic setting. Any course numbered 3 through 6 may be taken as an introduction to the field, and successful completion of one of these will normally be required for admission to courses numbered 11 and above. The normal prerequisite for re­ ligion as a Course major, or an Honors major or minor, will be completion of two courses. For advanced work in some areas of religion, foreign language facility will be very useful, especially French and German. For advanced work in biblical studies and early Christian history, knowledge of one of the ancient languages—Greek, Latin, Hebrew (given at Bryn M awr)—would also be useful. While the department itself intends to provide a good introduction to the study of religion and a chance for some advanced work as well, the attention of students is also called to relevant offerings in the departments of philosophy, his­ tory, sociology and anthropology, and fine arts, and to courses reflecting other scholarly specialties in departments of religion at neighboring institutions, par­ ticularly the University of Pennsylvania, Bryn Mawr College and Haverford College. Students interested in taking courses at these institutions should consult the chairman. 3. Introduction to the Old Testament. The literature and history of the peo­ ple of Israel.
