GENERAL INFORMATION.

IV.

Swarthmore College was founded by members of the religious
Society of Friends, in order to provide the children of the Society
and others with opportunities for higher education under guarded care.
With this object in view, a property of 240 acres was secured in a
rural district ten miles from Philadelphia, on the Central Division of
the P. W. and B. Railroad.
It is accessible by trains from the Broad

ing purposes, providing milk and vegetables for the College; the
remainder is devoted to lawn and pleasure grounds. Crum Creek,
which forms the western boundary of the property, affords facilities
for boating, bathing and skating.
The portion of the grounds
bordering the stream is of great picturesque beauty.
The building
site is high, thus securing perfect drainage and pure air, and commanding a fine view of the surrounding country for many miles.

the remaining floors in the East Wing contain the dormitories

Though the dormitories are thus widely separated, the sexes mingle
freely under proper care in the class rooms, parlors, and dining hall.
The instructors reside in the same building with the students, and the
relations between them are such, that there is comparative freedom
from the dangers and temptations ordinarily incident to college life.
The buildings are heated throughout by steam, lighted by gas, and
thoroughly ventilated.

The

Science Hall was erected and

fitted up during the past
constructed of stone, in the most durable manner, and
was planned with special reference to the work of our students in
science.
The center building has a frontage of 44 feet, and a depth
of 64 feet ; the wings are each 43 x 33 feet.
A large amount of fine apparatus has been secured at home and
abroad during the past summer, to which continual additions will be
made by purchase and by construction in the Mechanical Laboratory.
The following floor plans will explain the arrangement of the
several floors, and the uses to which they are applied

The General Library contains upwards of 4000 volumes of works
generally selected by the Professors and Instructors at the heads of the
various departments of study, and is, in consequence, a valuable
working collection.

Friends' Historical Library of Swarthmore, founded by Anson
Lapham, contains a small but increasing collection of Friends' books,
photographs of representative Friends, and manuscripts relating to the
Society and its history, and is at all times accessible to teachers,
students and members of the household.
This collection is stored in a fire proof apartment, and it is hoped
that Friends and others will deem it a secure place to deposit books
and other material in their possession which may be of interest in
connection with the history of the Society.
Such contributions
should be sent to the Librarian, Arthur Beardsiey, Swarthmore, Pa.

Literary Societies are maintained by the students. There are
two for young men, and one for young women. These hold regular
meetings for the reading of Essays, etc., and for practice in debates.
Their Libraries, under their own management, contain over twelve
hundred volumes, and are accessible to all of the College students.
A Scientific Society is also maintained by the students interested
in Science.

encouraged to take regular daily exercise in the open air, for which

Religious Exercises. While care is taken to inculcate the
doctrine that religion is a matter of practical daily life, and is not
confined to the observance of set forms or the promulgation of religious tenets, the regular assembling for religious purposes is carefully
observed.
On First-day morning a religious meeting is held, attended
by students, teachers, and members of the household, and occasionally
by visiting Friends. The meeting is preceded by First-day school
exercises, consisting of the recitation of passages of Scripture prepared
by members of the different classes, and the reading of a portion of
Scripture at the close.
The daily exercises are opened by a general
meeting for reading selected portions of Scripture, or other suitable
books, and imparting such moral lessons as circumstances seem to
require, followed by a period of silence before entering upon the duties
of the day.

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 i?i
their studies or recitations at any time ; nor must they be visited on the
;

First-day of the week.
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.
Outfit.

—Although

no form of

dress is prescribed for either sex,
appropriate to school life is earnestly recommended. Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and elaborately trimmed
dresses are prohibited.
Students should be supplied with six towels, six napkins, two
clothes-bags, a wrapper, slippers, umbrella, and the requisite toilet
articles.
Every article must be marked with the full name of the

THE COLLEGE.

The studies required for a degree extend over four years. The
requirements for admission are intended to be such as Friends' Schools
generally can meet.
For graduation, the amount will be found to
compare favorably with the requirements at other Colleges. It is
believed to afford a sufficient preparation in Science and general
culture, for the ordinary avocations of life, for the study of any of
the learned professions, or for the pursuit of special studies in the
higher Universities, at home or abroad.
The studies are so arranged
that by making a suitable selection, the student can pursue those
courses which are most congenial to his tastes, or which will be most
serviceable to him in his future career.
To facilitate this choice of
studies, each class is divided into four sections as follows
:

such practice, to design and to take charge of important works.

The Mechanical Laboratory contains an Olsen's testing machine,
arranged for tensile, compressive and transverse tests, and an excellent and complete assortment of tools, including screw-cutting engine
lathes, speed-lathes, (simple and back-geared), an iron planer, a complete universal milling machine, a shaper, a twist drill grinder, an
upright drill, emery grinder, etc., besides forges, and the many necessary small tools.
Additions are constantly being made to this collection, as they are needed, either by manufacture in the laboratory or
by purchase. Power is furnished by a four-horse power engine and
boiler, the former fitted with an approved indicator, and the latter
with the necessary attachments for determining its efficiency, etc.
Regular and systematic instruction is given in the use of tools,
machinery, and processes. Patterns are made by the students from
their own designs and drawings, of machines, or parts of machines,
and the castings are made and properly fitted together and finished
according to the drawings.
Although, as above stated, the course is especially intended for
those who expect to become Engineers, such portions of it as may be
pursued with advantage by others, whose time is limited and who do
not intend to graduate, are open to them.
The details of the course vary somewhat from year to year, but, in
general, are represented by the follov/ing arrangement of the studies
:

Elements of Draughting, including the
use of instruments, India ink and colors, followed by Elementary
Projections, Elements of Structures, Shades and Shadows, and Isometrical Drawing, are taught as a required exercise to the Scientific
Section of the class, and are elective for others.
At the same time a
more extended course in the same, with recitations, and the construction in wood and metal of models of the more difficult drawings is
required of the Engineering students only.
This is followed by Surveying with the Chain and Compass, in the

PREPARATORY SCHOOL.

This school is intended to prepare students for the Freshman Class
in the College, or to finish a good practical education to those desiring a shorter course.

Most of the studies are required of all, as experience has clearlyshown 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
for themselves.

teach the following year, may substitute for a part of the regular work,
a thorough review of Arithmetic and the other elementary branches
usually included in the examination of teachers for the public schools.
In arranging the course of study, we have had in view a complete
and harmonious organization of all Friends' Schools throughout the
country ; and it is hoped that committees and teachers of these

In all
schools will unite with us in securing this very important end.
