SWARTHMORE COLLEGE
Swarthmore College is situated in the Borough of Swarthmore,
eleven miles southwest of Philadelphia on the Octoraro branch of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. T w o hundred and thirty-seven acres
are contained in the College property, including a large tract of
woodland and the valley of Crum Creek.
T h e College was founded in 1864 through the efforts of members
of the Religious Society of Friends, for- the purpose of securing to
the youth of the Society an opportunity for higher educational train
ing under the guarded supervision and care of those of their own
religious faith. According to its first charter, membership on the
Board of M anagers of the College was limited to persons belonging
to the Society of Friends. T h e purpose of this restriction was not to
establish sectarian control, but to prevent forever the possibility of
such control by any sectarian element which might otherwise have
come to be represented on the Board. T his restriction is now believed
to be no longer needed and since 1911 has been omitted from the
revised charter. T h e intention of the founders was to make the pro
motion of Christian character the first consideration, and to provide
opportunities for liberal culture while maintaining a high standard of
scholarship. These aims have been followed in the administration of
the institution.
T h e enrolment of the College is limited to approximately five hun
dred students. T h e endowment is seven and a half million dollars.

T h e Swarthmore College Library now numbers approximately
110,000 volumes. Some 5,000 volumes are added annually. About
600 periodicals are received regularly. T h e general collection, in
cluding all but the scientific and technical books and journals, is
housed in the Library building, situated on the front campus.
T o meet the needs of students reading for honors, the college is
enriching its collection as rapidly as possible. A s a consequence of this
growth, it became necessary recently to build an addition contain

27
ing stacks for 150,000 volumes. Former stack rooms in the main library
building have been converted into reading rooms for students and
work rooms for the Staff. T h e Library administration is changing
from the D ewey decimal to the Library of Congress system of classi
fication to make possible more rapid and adequate classification and
cataloguing of new books.
Important special units of the main Library are the Appleton
collection of Classics and English literature and the Potter collec
tion of legal material. T h e Library is definitely a collection of books
and journals for undergraduate use. T h e demands of honors work,
however, make necessary the provision of large quantities of source
material not usually found in collections maintained for undergradu
ates. It is a point of library policy to supply as fully as it can, either
by purchase or through inter-library loan, the books needed by stu
dents or members of the faculty for their individual research.
Rules regarding the use of the Library and its books are reduced
to the minimum. T h e few in force are maintained so that the Library’s
holdings may be of the greatest benefit to all users.
T h e Librarian and each member of the staff welcome chances to
aid students in making full use of the Library’s resources. T h e L i
brary is open on Mondays to Fridays, inclusive, from 7:50 a .m . to
10 p .m .; on Saturdays from 7:50 a .m . to 6 P.M., and from 7 p .m .

the Society and its history. T h is collection is housed in the Library,
a fireproof building of stone and steel, the gift of Clement M . Biddle
in memory of his father, Clement M . Biddle, and it is hoped that
Friends and others w ill deem it a secure place in which to deposit
books, papers, portraits, and other material in their possession which
may be of interest in connection with the history of the Society. Such
contributio.ns are solicited, and should be addressed to the Friends H is

scholarships, based upon the general plan of the Rhodes Scholarships,
are given to candidates who, in the opinion of the Selection Committee,
rank highest in scholarship and character.
T h e regulations under which these scholarships w ill be awarded
in 1937 are as follows:
T h e stipend of an Open Scholarship is $500 a year. Each Scholar
ship is tenable for four consecutive years, subject to the maintenance
of a High standing in College. A ll holders of Open Scholarships must
be resident students, living and taking their meals at the College.
A candidate to be eligible must:
( 1 ) Be more than fifteen and less than twenty years of age on
September first of the year for which he is elected.
(2) M eet the requirements for admission to Swarthmore College
as prescribed in the college catalogue.
(3 ) N o t have attended another college or university.
Each candidate must secure the endorsement of the principal of
his preparatory school.
T h e records of all Open Scholars w ill be reviewed by the Com
mittee each year, the record of the first two years being especially con
sidered as a basis for continuing a scholarship. Open Scholars are
expected to maintain a high standard throughout the College course.
In re-awarding Scholarships vacated because of low academic stand
ing or for any other reason, preference w ill be given to original com
petitors for the appointment in question, who have since made out
standing records in Swarthmore College.
Scholars w ill be selected on the basis of ( 1 ) their school record as
shown by the material called for in the application blank; (2 ) an
examination to be conducted on A pril 9, 1938, at one hundred and
fifty places in the United States, consisting of the Scholastic Aptitude
T e st and two achievement tests; and (3 ) a personal interview with
the Selection Committee or its representatives. W henever possible,
candidates w ill come to the College for their interviews. It is expected,
however, that these interviews can be arranged in various parts of
the United States, so as to make it unnecessary for candidates to travel
any considerable distance. Application blanks duly filled out and ac
companied by the material specified must reach the Dean of M en at
Swarthmore College before M arch 31 of the year in which they are
awarded. T h e awards w ill be announced about June first.

T h e Ivy M edal Fund was created by a gift from O wen Moon,
94. T h e income of the fund is used to purchase a medal which is
placed in the hands of the faculty for award on Commencement D ay
to a male member of the graduating class. T h e regulations governing
the award are as follows:
(1) The idea behind the Ivy Medal is in general the Rhodes Scholarship
qualifications including (a) qualities of manhood, force of character, and
leadership; (b) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. This has been
phrased by the donor in the words “ leadership based upon character and
scholarship.”
(2) It is the wish of the donor that the medal should not be awarded on a
mere basis of averages. Instead, it is desired that the winner should be a man
who gives promise of distinction either in character or in intellectual attainme.n.ts.’ as °PPosed t0 a man who has merely made the most of mediocre
abilities.
(3) On the other hand, it is the wish of the donor that the medal should
not go to a man who, while showing excellence in some one respect, has fallen
seriously below the standard in others.
T h e O ak L eaf M edal was established by David D w ight Rowlands
of the Class of 1909. It was later permanently endowed in memory
of him by H azel C . Rowlands, ’07, and Caroline A . Lukens, ’98.
The medal is placed in the hands of the faculty to be awarded each

T h e M cC abe Engineering Aw ard, founded by Thom as B . M c
Cabe, 1915, is to be presented each year to the outstanding engineering
student in the Senior Class. T h e recipient is chosen by a committee
of the faculty of the Division of Engineering.
T h e A . E dward N ewton L ibrary P rize, endowed by A . Edward
Newton, to make permanent the Library Prize first established by
W . W . Thayer, is awarded annually to that undergraduate who, in
the opinion of the Committee of A w ard, shows the best and most in
telligently chosen collection of books upon any subject. Particular
emphasis is laid in the award, not merely upon the size of the collec
tion but also upon the skill with which the books are selected and upon
the owner’s knowledge of their subject-matter.
T h e K atharine B. Sicard P rize, endowed by the D elta Gamma
Fraternity in memory of Katharine B. Sicard, ex ’34, is awarded
annually to the Freshman woman who, in the opinion of the depart
ment, shows greatest proficiency in English.

T h e J ohn A . M iller L oan F und was established by the Class
of 1912 at their twenty-fifth reunion. Both principal and income are
to be used to provide a loan fund for students in the three upper
classes. Individual students may borrow up to $200 in any one year,
such loans to be repayable within five years with interest at four per
cent. T h e fund is to be administered by a committee consisting of
the Comptroller, the Dean of W om en and the Dean of M en.
T h e Swarthmore C ollege Student L oan F und was estab
lished by M r. Clarence J. Gamble, who, feeling such a fund to be
of unusual benefit to worthy students, gave a sum to the College on
condition that the Board should set aside an equal amount to be added
to the fund. Both principal and income may be used for loans to
students, repayable not later than five years after graduation, with
interest at the rate of four percent.

ADMISSION
39
A D M IS S IO N
In considering the application of each candidate the Committee
will study his, or her, school record, recommendations, and all avail
able results of tests and examinations which indicate achievement arid
promise. H igh ranking in the graduating class or good ratings in the
College Entrance Examination Board examinations w ill be regarded
as important evidence of aptitude for college work. Strong intellec
tual interests and the promise of excellence in some particular direc
tion w ill receive more consideration than a record which shows a
higher average without promise of unusual ability in any one field.
In addition, the Committee w ill place emphasis on the character and
purpose of the candidate, together with good health, interest in recrea
tional pursuits, and leadership in school life. T h e qualities of char
acter sought are the simplicity, moral earnestness and idealism which
have been traditionally associated with the Society of Friends and
with Swarthmore College. First consideration w ill be given to chil
dren of Friends and Alum ni of the College; those who rank high
in their graduating class w ill be assured of admission; those who do
not rank high w ill be considered under the terms of the selective
process described above.
A ll applicants must take either the Scholastic Aptitude T est or the
Mathematics Achievement T est of the College Entrance Examination
Board, preferably at the end of their Junior year in secondary school.
If they are not able to take it then, they may arrange to do so in
April or June of their Senior year.
Candidates for admission should make early application, women
preferably before January I and men preferably before A pril 15. If
possible, records of school work for the first three years, signed by
the school Principal, should be submitted one year prior to admission.
Application blanks and certificate blanks are furnished by the Deans
of the College upon request. Certificates are returned to the school
Principals in the spring for the record of the senior year.
Applicants whose school records are good are asked to call at
Swarthmore College at special times during the year for interviews.
Persons living far from Swarthmore may be interviewed by represen
tatives of the College in any part of the United States or abroad.
T h e names of men and women applicants accepted for admission
are announced as soon as possible after M a y 1 of the year of admission.

Swarthmore College normally requires all applicants for admis
sion to take only one College Board Examination, which may be either
the Scholastic Aptitude T est or the Mathematics Achievement Test.
(See pp. 39, 41 below.) In special cases, the Committee on Admis
sions may ask an applicant to make up a deficiency by additional
examinations. Because the number of applicants makes admission
highly competitive, the Committee on Admissions recommends that
ambitious students give evidence of their ability in their strongest
subjects by taking examinations in those subjects at the end of their
Junior year.
T h e Committee on Scholarships requires candidates for certain
awards (see pp. 32, 33) to take the Scholarship examinations given by
the College Board. (See p. 43.) T h e nature of these examinations
is such as to require no special preparation.

A D V A N C E D S T A N D IN G
For favorable consideration, applicants for advanced standing must
have had a high scholastic record in the institution from which they
wish to transfer, and must present full credentials for both college
and preparatory work and a letter of honorable dismissal. In general,

Swarthmore College offers ( i ) General Courses leading to the
degree of Bachelor of A rts and to the degree of Bachelor of Science,
and (2) Honors W o rk leading to these same degrees with honors.
Four years of resident study are normally required for the comple
tion of the w ork leading to any of these degrees. T h e w ork of the
first two years for all students is in General Courses. During the
last two years, qualified students may read for Honors. T h e subjects
of instruction are classified according to departments, and the de
partments are grouped into four divisions*: T h e Division of the H u
manities, the Division of the Social Sciences, the Division of M athe
matics and the Natural Sciences, and the Division of Engineering.
In addition to scholastic requirements for graduation, all students
are held for sports education as set forth in the statement of that
department (see pp. 98, 99) and for attendance at the Collection
exercises of the College (see p. 22).
Beginning in September, 1934, Swarthmore College abandoned the
hour credit system and undertook to measure the student's progress in
terms of courses, each of which represents one-fourth of his time for
one year.
W ORK OF T H E FIRST T W O YEARS
T h e work of the first two years is identical in outline for all stu
dents, although the subjects of study vary. (Exceptions in the D ivi
sion of Engineering are noted on p. 70.) Each student takes normally
during each of these two years four full courses or their equivalent.
Courses are scheduled usually for three class meetings per week, each

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
T h e subjects of study during thg first tw o years include: (a) the
minimum language requirements, as outlined b e lo w ;'(b ) one year’s
w ork in each of three Divisions: Humanities, Social Sciences, N atural
Sciences; (c) prerequisites for major and minor w ork in the D iv i
sion of the student’s choice; and (d) electives, approved by the course
adviser.
T h e minimum language requirements are as follows:
1. English: Each student is expected at entrance to college to be
able to use the English language w ith accuracy and clarity. A n y de
ficiency must be removed by special w ork before the beginning of the
Sophomore year.
2. Foreign languages: Each student w ill pursue in college one
foreign language (French, German, Greek, Latin, or Spanish) to a
point equivalent to the completion of Course I I I or two languages
to a point equivalent to the completion of Course II. Admission to
Courses I I and I II w ill be determined by placement tests given on
entrance to college. T h e standard for admission to Course I L is such
as might reasonably be expected from a student who has had two
years’ preparation in the language; the standard for admission to
Course I I I ' is such as might reasonably be expected from a student
who has had four years’ preparation. M ajors in English may satisfy
the requirements with French, German, Latin, or Greek (see p. 82).
German is required for majors in mathematics and the natural sci
ences, Greek, for majors in L atin ; Latin, for majors in French. Stu
dents who are thus required to begin a new language in college w ill
arrange if possible to do the elementary w ork prerequisite to admis
sion to Course I I outside their regular college work.
W O RK OF T H E L A S T T W O YEARS
T h e w ork of the last two years in General Courses must include
a major, one related minor, and electives; in Honors, the w ork con
sists of a major and tw o related minors; in both cases majors and
minors must fall in the same Division.
A t the end of the Sophomore year, a student’s choice of his major
and minor subjects must be approved by the departments concerned.
GENERAL COURSES
Each student in General Courses offers for graduation at least
four fu ll courses or their equivalent in his major subject and at least
three full courses or their equivalent in his minor subject.
HONORS WORK
47
T h e completion of sixteen full courses, with a minimum average
of C (see p. 5 1) , normally constitutes the course requirement for a
degree in General Courses. A student may carry extra work with the
approval of his course adviser and of the Committee on Prescribed
and Extra W ork. In addition to completing his courses, the student
at the end of his Senior year must pass a comprehensive examination
in his major subject, set by the faculty of the major department.
HONORS W ORK
Students who have shown themselves capable of higher than aver
age intellectual achievement are permitted to read for the bachelor’s
degree with honors during their last two college years. T h e theory
underlying honors w ork was outlined by President Aydelotte in his
inaugural address at Swarthmore College on October 22, 1921, as
follows:
“ W e are educating more students up to a fair average than
any other country in the world, but we are wastefully allowing
the capacity of the average to prevent us from bringing our best
up to the standards they could reach. O u r most important task
at the present is to check this waste. T h e method of doing it
seems clear: to give to those students who are really interested in
the intellectual life harder and more independent w ork than
could profitably be given to those whose devotion to matters of
the intellect is less keen, to demand of the former, in the course
of their four years’ work, a standard of attainment for the A .B .
degree distinctly higher than we require of them at present. . . .
W ith these abler students it would be possible to allow them to
specialize more because their own alertness of mind would of
itself be sufficient to widen their intellectual range and give them
that acquaintance with other studies necessary for a liberal point
of view. . . . O u r examinations should be less frequent and more
comprehensive, and the task of the student should be to prepare
himself for these tests through his own reading and through the
instruction offered by the college.”
Honors w ork is offered in four divisions* and is under the super
vision of committees of the departments which compose those divisions.
Small groups of students meet their instructors for weekly confer
ences; in scientific subjects they may spend much additional time in
*See Page 15.
48
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
the laboratory. T h e work is so planned that a student takes not more
than two subjects in any one semester. H e devotes half the time of his
two years of honors w ork to the subject of his major interest and
divides the other half between two related subjects within his division,
unless special exceptions are permitted under the rules of his division
or are approved by the Instruction Committee of the Faculty.
Honors students are excused from ordinary examinations and class
requirements and their w ork is not graded from semester to semester.
Instead, they are expected to spend their time in mastering a definitely
outlined field of knowledge, and at the end of their senior year to
take written and oral examinations given by examiners from other
institutions.! Upon the recommendation of these examiners candi
dates are awarded the bachelor’s degree with honors, high honors,
or highest honors. In the case of a candidate whose w ork is not, in
the opinion of the examiners, of sufficiently high quality for honors,
his examination papers shall be returned to the division concerned.
T h e division shall examine the papers as a substitute for the comfHonors Examiners, May, 1937.

A candidate for admission to an honors division must file his ap
plication in the spring of his Sophomore year with the chairman of
his major departments, and must indicate the particular combination
of related subjects on which he wishes to be examined for his degree.
H is acceptance by the division depends in part upon the quality of
his previous w ork as indicated by the grades he has received but
mainly upon his seeming capacity for assuming the responsibility of
honors work. T h e names of successful candidates are announced later
in the spring. T h e major department w ill then arrange, in consultation
with the student, a definite program of subjects to constitute the field
of knowledge on which he w ill be examined at the end of his senior
year. T h a t department is responsible for drawing up the original plan
of his work, for supervising his choice of seminars in all departments
and for keeping in touch with his progress from semester to semester.
T h e division is responsible for approval of the student’s original pro
gram and for any subsequent changes in that program. Proposals

T h e course advisers of Freshmen and Sophomores are the Dean
of M en and the Dean of W omen, in cooperation with the Chairmen
of Departments in which the students are enrolled as M ajors. For
Juniors and Seniors the advisers are the Chairmen of their M ajo r
Departments.
SYSTEM O F GRADES
Instructors report to the Dean’s office four times a year upon the
work of students in Courses. A t mid-semesters the reports take the
form of comments on unsatisfactory work. A t the end of each
semester formal grades are given in each course under the letter sys
tem, by which A means excellent w o rk; B means good w o rk; C
means fair w o rk; D means poor work, and E shows failure. W sig
nifies withdrawn and Cond. signifies conditioned in the course.
For graduation in General Courses, a C average is required; for
graduation in Honors work, the recommendation of the external exam
iners. (See p. 48.)
T h e mark “ conditioned” indicates either ( 1 ) that a student has
done unsatisfactory work in the first half of a course, but by creditable
work during the second half, may earn a passing grade for the full
course, and thereby remove his condition; (2) that a student’s work
is incomplete in respect to specific assignments or examinations, but
otherwise satisfactory ; when he completes it, he w ill remove his con
dition.
Reports are sent to parents and to students at the end of each
semester.
R E M O V A L O F C O N D IT IO N S
Members of the graduating class must make up all outstanding
conditions and deficiencies by the end of the first semester of the
Senior year, and no student whose record is not then clear shall be
considered a candidate for graduation in that year.
A ll conditions must normally be made up in the semester immedi
ately following that in which the w ork reported as conditioned was

done, and as early in the semester as possible; by special permission
of the instructor the time for making up the condition may be ex
tended to the second semester following. A ny condition not made
up within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter have the
effect upon the records of an E , i. e., complete failure, which cannot be
made up.
SU M M ER SC H O O L W O R K
Students desiring to transfer credit from a summer school are re

There are three departments of Engineering: Civil, Electrical and
Mechanical. These departments cooperate in a program of ( 1 ) ' in
troductory courses, taken normally by Freshman and Sophomore en
gineers 5 ( 2 ) general courses, open to all students in the College. Each
department offers also its own separate program of advanced work.
A n engineering student devotes about half his time to engineering
courses; the other half he divides between basic sciences, such as physics
and mathematics, and the non-technical fields useful for a liberal edu
cation.
During their first two years, all engineering students follow the
schedule of courses outlined below. A t the end of that time, students
are divided into two groups, “ A ” and “ B .” Group “ A ” is made up
of those whose ability in the field of mathematics and the natural sci
ences is marked, including those who intend to go on into graduate
work. Group “ B ” comprises those whose greatest interest lies in
administration, operation or management of engineering enterprises.
These two groups devote their last two years: ( 1 ) to developing
their special interests, (2) to fulfilling the major requirements of one
of the departments of Engineering, (3 ) to certain basic courses re
quired of all engineers. (F or details see pp. 70; 73-76; 78, 79.)

Civil Engineering Option
Heat Power Engineering
Engineering Economy
Since H eat Power Engineering and Engineering Economy are half
courses, one-half of the student’s time in the senior year is open, and
he may elect any course in the Division of Engineering, Division of the
Social Sciences, or Division of Mathematics and the N atural Sciences
to complete-his program. T h is elective must receive the approval of
his course adviser and must be related to his course as a whole.
T h e course called C ivil Engineering Option, 23, is broad in its
scope. T h e fundamental theory of the Four Course Plan, under which
the college is operating, is that the student shall confine his efforts to
not more than four subjects at the same time. It is felt that a man
who is to receive his degree with a major in civil engineering should
be familiar with the fundamentals of Railw ay and H ighw ay Survey
ing, and with the design of structures in wood, steel and concrete.
T o confine the number of subjects to four and meet the condition out
lined has required the development of a new method of presenting
this material. T h is is done by teaching the aforenamed phases of civil
engineering in series. T h e success of the plan is dependent upon small
classes composed of men who are w ell trained in mechanics and mathe
matics. T h is method eliminates repetition which occurs when the sub
ject-matter of the curriculum is presented by different men in separate
courses. T h e student may spend one-half of his time in his senior
year on C ivil Engineering Option, 23.

ing. H e is urged to make himself familiar with all the latest develop
ments in that field so that he may realize that engineering science is a
living, growing profession, and that he can w ell spend his best energies
to further that growth.

R e q u ir e m e n t s for M a j o r a n d M in o r
Requirements for students who elect major or minor work in history
do not turn on any particular total of courses, but rather upon the
completion of such courses in history, together with related courses in
the social sciences, literature, philosophy, the fine arts, etc., as, in the
opinion of the department, w ill facilitate a well-rounded preparation
for their Comprehensive Examinations. A reading knowledge of
French and some acquaintance with the principles of economic theory
are essential for an intelligent appreciation of history. M ost graduate
schools require a reading knowledge of French, German, and Latin
for any graduate degree in history.
T h e Comprehensive Examination for major students at the end
of their Senior year includes questions on the following topics: (1 )
European History, (2) British History, (3 ) T h e History of the
United States, (4) Ancient History. M ajo r students are expected to
answer general questions in each of these fields, and more specific
questions in at least two of the fields.
T h e survey-course in European history, the only course open to
Freshmen (except by special permission from the department), is a
prerequisite for any of the other courses or seminars in European or
English history. Students who expect to major in history, in Honors
seminars or regular courses, should take European history in the
Freshman year, American and English history in the Sophomore
year. Students who expect to include history as a minor subject for
Honors should take European history in Freshman year, and either
American or English history in Sophomore year if possible. Course 2,
the History of England (or satisfactory completion of special read
ing and other requirements set by the department), is required for
admission to any honors seminar in English history. Course 3, The
History of the United States (or satisfactory completion of special
reading), is required for admission to any honors seminar in American

L ib r a r ie s a n d O b s e r v a t o r y
T h e astronomical part of the departmental library is located on
the first floor of the Observatory; the mathematical section on the
fifth floor of Parrish H all. T h e Library contains complete sets of
nearly all the American mathematical and astronomical periodicals,
and sets (some of which are complete, some of which are not) of the
leading English, German and French periodicals. T h is library receives
the publications of many of the leading observatories in exchange for
the publication of the Sproul Observatory.
T h e equipment of the observatory is best suited for astrometric and
photometric problems. T h e various eclipse expeditions from the O b
servatory have yielded considerable eclipse data.
T h e observatory staff is at present devoting time to studies in photo
graphic astrometry and photoelectric photometry with the 24-inch
telescope, to photography with the 9-inch doublet, and to the study
of the eclipses of the sun. Students interested in any of these prob
lems may work with advantage in conjunction with one of the pro
fessors. Results of departmental studies are published in the Sproul
Observatory publications and in various scientific journals.

1. Introduction to Music, Analysis of Musical Forms, and Historical Survey.
Mr. Swann.
Full course.
As indicated above, the purpose of the course is a three-fold one: to define and clarify
the scope of music for the average listener, to attain to a knowledge of the rudiments of
music that will enable the student to analyse such classical forms as the fugue, sonata, or
rondo, and to present the material in historical order, pointing out the place of music
and the rôle of individual composers in the successive epochs of the Christian era (up to the
end of the nineteenth century).
2. The Swarthmore College Chorus. Mr. Swann.
The chorus is composed of 55-6o men and women. Entrance requirements are: a good
voice, a good ear, and an ability to read music. The annual concert is held in March, and,
in addition, the chorus sings at one of the Sunday Vespers. The a capelia music for the
chorus is chosen from the older masters (from the later Middle Ages to Bach), with some
modern settings of folk-songs and religious chants thrown in. In conjunction with the
college orchestra the chorus performs large works of the classic masters, and opera. The
major productions of the past ten years have been one act from Vaughan Williams* “ Hugh
the Drover,** three scenes from Rimsky-Korsakoff’s “ Sadko,” and the entire B flat major
mass of Haydn, which has also been recorded. Members of the chorus are expected to sing
freely in Latin and several modern languages. Rehearsals are held once a week with ad
ditional work before the concerts.
3. The Swarthmore College Orchestra. Mr. Swann.
The orchestra is composed of 30--35 men and women. The entrance requirement is the
ability to play an orchestral instrument. The orchestra's activities are closely tied to
those of the chorus: its main function is to accompany the chorus and soloists. However,
at the annual concert the orchestra performs also at least one purely orchestral^work,
usually an overture. Rehearsals are held at specified times.
Note on Chamber Music.
No formal instruction in the playing of chamber music is offered, but for years the
undergraduates have been given the opportunity of gathering once a week at the home of
Professor Arnold Dresden for the purpose of playing the best classic and romantic works
of chamber music. The best players and groups on these occasions are picked to perform
at three or four Students* Vespers.

Prerequisites: For admission to honors study in philosophy, the
requirement is at least two semester courses in the field.
Honors Subjects in Philosophy:
1. M oral P hilosophy : A seminar in ethics, systematic and historical.
Rashdall’s Theory of Good and Evil (2 vols.) is covered in detail. A
printed syllabus (75 pp.), containing lists of readings in the sources,
references in recent literature, topics for papers, and questions for
self-examination, has been prepared for this seminar.
2. G reek P hilosophy : Begins with the dawn of western philosophy in the
Milesian nature-philosophers, ends with a brief study of the Stoics and
Epicureans. The larger part of the time is devoted to a reading of
Plato and Aristotle. Included in this reading are all the major dialogues
of Plato and selections from the Ethics, the Metaphysics, and the logical
writings of Aristotle. Recommended for students of literature.
3. H istory of M odern P hilosophy : The development of modern thought
from Bacon and Descartes to Kant. If the group so desires, it may, with
the approval of the instructor, exchange a study of certain of the pre' Kantian philosophers for a study of more recent philosophical move
ments. This seminar may appropriately be combined with work in any
of the three divisions.
4. C lassic P roblems of P hilosophy : The first half of the study is devoted
to the theory of knowledge; Montague’s Ways of Knotting is used as a
common basis and is supplemented by readings in contemporary philoso
phy. In the second half of the semester, selected problems in metaphysics
are taken for discussion, including usually the mind-body problem, the
issue between the mechanist and the vitalist, the nature of the se lf, the
problem of freedom, and the relation between philosophy and religion.
