Candidates for advanced standing must first be examined for admission to the Freshman Class then in all the required studies
already gone over by the class for which they offer themselves, and
in as many elective studies as they would have pursued if they had
;
entered at the beginning of the course.
Especial attention is called to the importance of a thorough preparation in the studies required for admission. The want of this is
a serious source of embarrassment to future progress, and is rarelj'repaired by subsequent study. The work is arranged for those only
who
enter the classes thoroughly prepared.
Students are not considered as regular members of the College
until, after a residence of at least four months, they have been ad-
mitted to matriculation on satisfactory evidence of good moral
character. Before this they are students on probation.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The course of study in this department has been very carefully
arranged with reference to general culture; and it is also believed to
be the best foundation for a subsequent technical course of educa.
Those whose time
tion, in any department which may be chosen.
and means will permit are earnestly advised to add to this course,
after graduation, the last two years of one of the departments of our
scientific course.
It will be observed that a due proportion of
scientific studies are

throughout the country are requested to conform to it, as far as
in the
practicable,
and prepare students to enter our Freshman Class^

To
secure this end, a
thorough mastery of the elementary principles of the subject taught,

As announced the Third Division of Class C has now been
dropped, and the size of this class, in proportion to the whole
number in attendance, is considerabl}^ smaller than heretofore. The
increased age and advancement of the students entered for this year
it probable that in a very few years this class can be dispensed with altogether.
To this end the various Friends' Schools now being established
throughout the country are likely to contribute, as there is a prospect of completing, at an early day, a regular organization of these
schools, with courses of study so arranged that those students who
desire to do so will be prepared to enter the Freshman class of the
College.
This will enable many friends to keep their children at
Swarthmore to complete the course and graduate; and this in its
turn will have an excellent efi'ect upon the Preparatory Schools
themselves, as they can more readily obtain well educated teachers
from among the graduates of Swarthmore, teachers familiar not
only with the course laid down for these schools, but also with that
required in the College. Ko surer means can be taken to increase
the usefulness of our College, and make it fully subserve the important end for which it was established, than encouraging among
Friends everywhere, properly organized Preparatory Schools.
An arrangement has now been made to confer the degree of Bachelor of Literature upon those students who shall have completed
our modern classical course that is, a course of study in which the
Ancient languages may be omitted, a fuller course in French and
Grerman, English and Anglo-Saxon taking their place. In this
course at least one year's Latin is encouraged, though it will not be
required to obtain the degree. This change will open the way for
many who do not wish to study the Ancient languages, and whose

Anson Lapham, of Skeneateles, New York, has, during the past
year, purchased two perpetual scholarships, for which he has paid
the sum of $10,000, which will be found acknowledged in the Treasurer's Report.
Our friend Deborah F. Wharton has recently placed in the hands
of the Committee on Trusts, Endowments and Scholarships, bonds
to the amount of $5000, the interest of which is to be used to reduce
the expenses of education for young persons whose circumstances
are limited^ especially those intending to teach in Friends' schools.

The
attention of the Stockholders
is
directed to the increasing
need of the Collegia in the Department of Ph37sics. It will doubtless be remembered that this subject has claimed attention in several
of our previous reports. A Physical Laboratory and a Work Shop
have been in contemplation from the beginning. A temporary
change in the gymnasium, now being effected, will supply this need
until proper and permanent provision can be made.

the periodical and systematic exercise in the gymnasium and in

secure this desirable result. In the matter of health, there is no
necessity whatever for making any distinction of sex, that of
the

been so nearly the same, upon an average, that there is no appreciable difference between the sexes in this respect.
It has been a source of great satisfaction to observe that the

made the basis of the system of general management there pursued.
