CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION.
The conditions of Admission are the same as for the Classical
Course, except that Latin is not required, although a sufficient knowledge of the construction to read easy Latin Prose is earnestly recommended. It is also very desirable that all applicants for admission
should have had at least one year's instruction in Free-hand Linear
Drawing.
COURSE OF STUDY.
In the Junior and Senior years students may elect either all Chemical
all Engineering studies, or from both departments.
While full
courses in professional studies are thus provided for, it will be seen
that care has been taken to secure general culture, and not to make of
students of this course merely chemists or engineers.
or
Chemical Department.
The work in this department occupies four years, and is intended to
prepare students to fill positions as teachers or analytical chemists, and
to provide such a general knowledge of chemical science, and its
applications to the arts, for those who wish to take up the special
problems of technical chemistry, as will afford a good basis for their
subsequent investigations.
The department is also open to those students of maturer age whose
time is limited, and who wish to prepare themselves for positions requiring a knowledge of Chemistry.
partial course in Medical Chemistry has been arranged as an
Elective, for the benefit of those who intend to study medicine or
pharmacy after graduation.

the most approved manner to
a time, each desk being provided
in
with running water, gas, and sink.
It is heated by steam, and furnished with hoods, sand, steam and air baths, furnaces, balances, a
good microscope, spectroscope, etc., suitable for carrying on all
ordinary Laboratory work.
Students will be charged only for chemicals and apparatus actually
used up.
No charge is made for gas.
Engineering Department.
The object of this department is to furnish a good foundation in
Mathematics, Physics, Mechanics, and Drawing, and their applications,
for the student of Civil or Mechanical Engineering.
Its graduates
will be prepared to become immediately useful in the office or field, in
subordinate positions, and, after a fair amount of practice, to design
and take charge of important works. The department is also open to
those students whose time is limited, and who do not intend to graduate, by whom partial courses in Surveying and Draughting can be
pursued with great practical advantage.
The department is well provided with the necessary field instruments, and each student is made familiar with their uses and management.
The Draughting-room is well lighted from above, and is
furnished with adjustable drawing-tables, models, drawings, etc.
Connected with the department is a machine-shop, in which a certain
amount of practice is required of each student, who thus becomes
acquainted with the uses of the various tools, and learns to avoid errors
in designing, by being required to execute, from his o^vn drawings,
parts of stnictures or of machinery.
The shop is well provided with
excellent tools, including a screw-cutting engine lathe, iron planer, etc.
A vertical engine and boiler of four horse power, built for the department, is used both for nmning the machinery and for class illustration
and
instruction.

MUSEUM.
The Museum
of the College, intended to illustrate the course of
instruction in Natural History, consists of collections in the departments of Mineralogy, Conchology, Botany and Zoology. It contains
a choice collection of minerals, and a fair collection of shells, rocks
and fossils. The Zoological Cabinet is supplied with characteristic
specimens illustrative of most of the classes and orders of animals,
and mainly by examples from our own country. The Cabinet thus
contains a good collection of our native birds, the smaller mammals,
many reptiles, a few fishes, numerous mollusks and insects, and a few

THE WEEK.
Leave of absence cannot be granted without a written request from
parents or guardians, which request should, in all cases, be accompanied by reasons satisfactory to the Faculty.
Students may be visited, on week-days, by parents or guardians, or
by near relatives, or others approved by parents or guardians ; but
general visiting is discouraged.
Students must not be interrupted in
their studies or recitations at any time.
All persons who are interested in education, and who are desirous of
examining the methods of instruction and discipline at Swarthmore,
will be welcomed at any time, and should, when convenient, communicate with the President upon the subject in advance.
COMMENCEMENTS AND VACATIONS.
The College year begins on the second Third-day of Ninth month,
and closes with Commencement-day, which occurs on the third Thirdday of Sixth month.
Students are not admitted for a period terminating earlier than the
current College year, but, when vacancies exist, may enter at any time
during the year, if prepared to join existing classes.
Besides the summer vacation there will be a vacation of one week at
the close of the Twelfth month, and the week of Friends' yearly meeting, in Philadelphia, in the Fifth month.
(See calendar.)
Students are permitted to remain at the College, under care, during
the Spring and Winter recess, but not during the Summer vacation.
OUTFIT.
Although no form of dress
prescribed for either sex, such simple

are required of all, but few being optional, as experience has clearly
shown that young students make much more satisfactory progress
when pursuing a regularly required course, even for a single year,
without any idea of graduation, than when they select all their studies
The course of study in this school, while it is an

essential preparation for the departments of the College, is also
believed to be the best training for those whose means and circumstances require that they should finish their studies in the Preparatory
School, or before reaching the end of the College course.
Attention
is invited to the course of study as here arranged, and the various
Preparatory Schools throughout the country are requested to conform
to it, as far as practicable, and to prepare students to enter our Freshman Class, either in the Classical, the Literary or the Scientific course.
To secure this end, a thorough mastery of the elementary principles of
the subject taught, and not a mere knowledge of the text-books required,
is most earnestl}- recommended.
Subsequent study can rarely, if ever,
atone tor deficient preparation.

MANAGERS' REPORT.
Swarthmore College has now been open for students ten years, and
entering, under favorable auspices, upon its second decade.
The
first class was graduated in 1873, fo^^ years after the opening of the
College, and the whole number of graduates up to the present time

of the individuals of which it is composed, as it increases from year
to year, will speak more for the College than any advertisements or
is
published Annual Reports.
The time
is
fast
approaching when these
young men and women, having been taught the value and the needs
of the College by their personal experience within its walls, will
become a highly important influence in its general management. It
should also be borne in mind that the work of the College is not to
be estimated merely by the number, or even by the character of its
graduates, but by the influence which it has exerted upon allyfho
have been under its care. The whole number of students who have
been in attendance during the past ten years is 1335, of whom 781
were boys and 554 girls. Many of these have spent four or five years
in the College and Preparatory Schools, and some as many as seven
or eight years.
A very considerable portion of the whole number
have been Friends, and at the present time, of the 265 in attendance, a greater number than on any previous year, about one-half are
children of Friends.
Of the students in attendance the present year, an unusually
large number are in the College, or the upper class of the Preparatory
School, there being 73 in Class A, and 127 in the College Classes.
As Friends' schools are established throughout the limits of our Society^
and supplied with teachers competent to organize them upon a proper
basis, and thus to do at home, the earlier preliminary work required
for admission to the College, more and more will apply for admission
to Class A, or to the Freshman Class, and it is believed that thus, in
a few years, many who cannot now afford the expense of sending
their children from home, to go through both the Preparatory School
and the College Classes, will be able to send them until graduation,
beginning at once with the Freshman Class, or with Class A, of the
Preparatory School.
The only important change in the department of Instruction during
the past year has been made by the resignation of Maria L. Sanford,
Professor of History.
The department is now divided among other

oversight of the head of the department, the instruction which they
receive is improved rather than otherwise by the establishment of this
course.
The present condition of our Library should claim the serious
attention of the friends of the College.
It now numbers 3194 bound
volumes, and is increasing slowly, chiefly by individual donations, from
year to year.
It is certainly to be hoped that the day is not far
distant when we shall have a large Library fund, the income of which
may be devoted to the one object, the steady increase of the Library.
The Librarian is preparing a complete catalogue of the books,
manuscripts, engravings, photographs, etc., contained in the ''Friends'

all that the collection contains relative to any prominent person or
event connected with the early history of the Society of Friends, and
will add greatly to its usefulness and interest.
It will be completed
early in the coming year, and will be so arranged that future additions can be inserted in their proper places.
This Library already
contains much that is rare, valuable and interesting, and it is
hoped that Friends having in their possession books or documents relating to the early history of our Society, will, by depositing them here, assist in making the collection complete, and will
thus render their permanent preservation secure.
very valuable
addition has just been made to the collection, by the gift of one
hundred volumes, principally relating to the early history and literature of Friends, donated by our friend Charles Thompson, of ISIanchester, England, in commemoration of his visit to the College during
the Centennial year.
This Library now numbers 606 bound volumes,
besides manuscripts, engravings, etc., and is provided for in a fireproof part of the building.
It will be remembered that three years ago the Literary, or Modern
Classical course was established, leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Literature.
This seems to have met a real want in the case of
students who have not found what they wished in the purely classical
or the scientific course.
In it the modern languages, English, French
and German are substituted for the ancient languages, and especial
attention is paid to the study of English.

students pursuing these studies is so great that it is impossible to seat
them in the room at present available. The Practical work in this
department is at present confined to the Chemical Laboratory. Here
the number of students is so large that more ample accommodations
are required, and more of these than ever before are taking the
advanced course. To the apparatus of this Laboratory has lately been
added one of Trcemner's best balances. We have not yet been able
to open the Physical Laboratory, which the Managers have so long
had in contemplation. When this want is supplied we can offer our
students in Physics an opportunity to perform experiments and teach
them how to conduct investigations for themselves. Taught in this
way the various branches of science may be made valuable means of
culture and discipline, while the practical bearing of such work must
commend itself in an especial manner to a people who have always
discouraged the purely ornamental in education.
Occupations which were formerly but trades, depending mainly on
manual skill, and requiring only a small amount of mental exertion,
have now risen to the importance of professions, based upon some
branch of science, the knowledge of which is necessary to their
highest and most successful pursuit.

In addition to the courses having this bearing, already reScientific

were early established. Instruction in these departments is necessarily
expensive, and requires a considerable annual outlay but either by
direct appropriation from the current receipts, or by gifts from interested friends, the means have been found to add, year by year, to the
necessary appliances, until a large amount of valuable illustrative and

The Managers desire in this Report to call the especial attention of
the Stockholders, and other friends of the College, to the necessity of
l^roviding ample and suitable accommodations for these departments,
which have entirely out-grown the provisions originally made for them
in the main College building, and which, on account of their impor;

\
tance as the foundation of modern industrial pursuits, it is especially
our desire to encourage. The departments of Mechanics, Draughting,
and Engineering occupy temporary quarters in one end of the Gymnasium, and in this frame building are kept the valuable tools, surveying and engineering instruments, machines, models, drawings, etc.,
which it would be difficult to replace in case of loss. About onethird of the Gymnasium is thus appropriated, and yet more room is
wanted for additional work-shops. It will be seen that there are
various and pressing needs in the different sections of the Scientific
department referred to in this Report. In order to supply these, and
contribute greatly to the present value, and prospective efficiency of
the College, a new Scientific Building should be erected at an early
day.

The number of our girls has largely increased during the
past year, and the simplicity of their attire upon all occasions has
been a source of especial satisfaction to the Managers.
The religious meetings at the College have, until recently, been
held in the general study room.
Although they have been very satisfactory, and increasingly so during the past year, yet we have long
felt the need of a different place for holding them, where the students
would not be immediately surrounded by objects associated with their
daily studies.
Through the generous liberality of a member of the
Board, this want has now been supplied, by the erection of a commodious meeting house on the College grounds.
The meetings held in
this house are, as before, under the immediate direction and control
of the College authorities.
They are also attended by some Friends
from the neighborhood, and occasionally by those from a distance.
Increasing care is taken to inculcate among the students, both by
precept and example, the principles and testimonies of our religious
Society, and we feel warranted in saying to Friends everywhere that
Swarthmore is yearly becoming more and more worthy of their confidence and support in this important particular. The authorities are
well aware that with the large number of colleges already existing in
the country there was no room, and no need for the establishment of
another, except to furnish to our children and others, opportunities to
obtain a thorough collegiate course in a Avell regulated ho7ne, and
under the guarded care of Friends.
Since our last Report was issued, our friend Elizabeth S. Worth has
been removed by death. She felt a deep interest in the welfare of the
College, and her valuable services, together with those of her husband
S. B. Worth, both of whom served as Managers almost from the beginning, did much to secure the success thus early attained.
The death of our friend Hugh Mcllvain, makes us feel that we owe
a tribute to his memory.
He was one of the original Corporators of
the College, and from the first organization of the Board, Chairman
of the Building and Property Committee.
Through his activity and
energy the plans for the erection of the College were most ably and
efficiently carried out, and its successful arrangement and completion were largely due to his individual exertions, and he always maintained his warm interest in the welfare of the Institution.
