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 six hun
dred students. T h e endowment is seven and a half million dollars.

OTHER STUDENT ACTIVITIES
25
ARTS AN D CRAFTS
Creative activity at Swarthmore is undertaken for its,ow n sake
as a part of undergraduate life. It is generally felt that some form
of self-expression, in arts, crafts, or some other medium, is a neces
sary factor in the educational process. T o satisfy this need, the vari
ous arts and crafts groups have been organized by students under the
guidance and supervision of the faculty and specialists in the different
fields. These groups are carried on upon a strictly amateur basis so
that students without particular proficiency as w ell as students with
definite creative talents may have an opportunity to discover and
pursue an enthusiasm for creative work. It is hoped that all students
w ill take part in some of these activities; that all w ill exercise such
restraint as not to interfere with academic work.
T h e Secretary for the A rts and Crafts has an office in the T rotter
Building, sends out notices for meetings, and keeps an index of the
names of students participating in each group or club.
O T H E R S T U D E N T A C T IV IT IE S
M ost student activities are conducted in cooperation with mem
bers of the faculty. T h ey range from informal groups for the dis
cussion of religious and social problems to clubs for the production
of plays and concerts or the publication of magazines.
Departmental clubs of undergraduates which hold stated meetings
during the academic year include: the Cercle Français, the Chemistry
Club, the. Classical Club, T h e Engineers Club, the German Club and
the Philosophy Club. T h e programs of these clubs give the oppor
tunity for the presentation of papers and addresses by undergraduates
and frequently by visiting scholars and scientists.
T h e Somerville Forum is an outgrowth of the Somerville Literary
Society, which was established in 1871. A ll women students are mem
bers. T h e Forum holds open meetings devoted to music, art and
literature, and also maintains two fellowships for women for grad

is eligible. Participation in any branch of these productions is open
to all students, except that Freshman women are not permitted to
act in a public performance during their first semester in college.
Also open to all students are the extra-curricular classes comprising
the second phase of the dramatic program— the Laboratory W o rk

for art at Swarthmore.
T h e name of the Society has special significance because W est,
an artist of the Eighteenth Century, who became President of the
Royal Academy, was born on the Swarthmore campus.
It is the double purpose of the Benjamin W est Society to form,
by g ift and purchase, art collections which shall be the permanent
possession of the college and, from time to time, to bring to the
college art exhibits and distinguished lecturers on art. T h e Society
hopes ultimately to have a building wherein its collections, already
considerable in number and good in quality, may be exhibited appro
priately.
Officers of the Association for the year 1938-39 are as follows:
President, Frank Aydelotte; Vice-Presidents, Charles F . Jenkins,
Alice Sullivan Perkins; Secretary, Florence W ilco x ; Treasurer,

T h e Swarthmore College Library now numbers approximately
110,000 volumes. Some 6,000 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
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 Dew ey 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.

Swarthmore College in 1922 established experimentally five annual
open competitive scholarships for men, not confined to any particular
school, locality, subject of study, or religious denomination. These
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 1939 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 m ust:
( 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 ot 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 standing 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 15, 1939, at one hundred and
fifty places in the United States, consisting of the Scholastic Aptitude
T est 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.

Speight, Professor Everett L . Hunt, of the Department of English ;

T h e Swarthmore C ollege Student L oan F und was estab

A D M IS S IO N
In considering the application of each candidate the Committee
w ill study his, or her, school record, recommendations, and all avail
able results of tests and examinations which indicate achievement and
promise. High 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 in A pril 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 ay 1 of the year of admission.

Swarthmore College offers ( i ) General Courses leading to the
degree of Bachelor of A rts or to the degree of Bachelor of Science,*
and (2) Honors W o rk leading to the same degrees with honors.
Four years of resident study are normally required for the comple
tion of the work leading to any of these degrees. T h e work of the
first two years for all students is in General Courses. D uring the
last two years, qualified students may read for Honors. (See page
49 for description of Honors W ork.) T h e student in general courses
normally carries four courses each year, and must attain a minimum
average of C in sixteen courses in order to qualify for graduation.
Students in Honors W o rk qualify according to the conditions set
forth on page 52. T h e subjects of instruction are classified accord
ing to departments, and the departments are grouped into four divi
sions!: T h e Division of the Humanities, the Division of the Social
Sciences, the Division of Mathematics and the N atural Sciences, and
the Division of Engineering.
In addition to scholastic requirements for graduation, all students
are held for physical education as set forth in the statement of that
department (see pp. 103, 105) and for attendance at the Collection
exercises of the College (see p. 24).
*The degiSe of Bachelor of Science is given only in the Division of
Engineering.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
W ORK OF T H E FIRST T W O YEARS
T h e general requirements for the first two years are the same for
all students except those in the Division of Engineering (see pp.
71 ff.) and are as follows:
(a) T h e minimum language requirements as outlined below;
(b) one fu ll course in two of the three Divisions: Humanities, Social
Sciences, Mathematics and the N atural Sciences.
T h e minimum language requirements are:
Each student w ill pursue one foreign language to a point equivalent
to the completion of Course 2. Achievement in this course or its
equivalent w ill be measured by a test given in September as an aid
to placement, and in January and June at the regular examination
periods. A ll students w ill be required to pass this test in the language
which they are offering toward completing the requirement. T h e
standard for admission to Course 2 is such as might reasonably be
expected from a student who has had two years’ preparation in the
language; the standard for completion or equivalence in Course 2
is such as might be expected from a student who has had four years’
preparation in the language.
During his first two years the student should plan his major and
minor subjects in order to take courses which may be prerequisites
for later work. H e should study departmental statements (pp. 59 ff.)
and consult the Deans and departmental course advisers to this end.
B y the end of the first two years the student must have completed
eight full courses, including the above requirements.
W ORK OF T H E L A S T T W O YEARS IN GENERAL COURSES
T h e work 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 two 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.
Each student in General Courses offers for graduation at least
four full courses or their equivalent in his major subject and at least
three full courses or their equivalent in his minor subject.
T h e completion of sixteen full courses, with a minimum average
of C (see p. 5 3 ), normally constitutes the course requirement for a
HONORS WORK
49
degree in General Courses. A student may carry extra work with the
approval of his course adviser and of the Committee on Prescribed
and E xtra 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 tw o 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
follow s:
“ 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 ur 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 o rk is offered in each of the four divisions of the College.
(See page 17.) It comprises a complete course of study in itself. A
student who reads for honors is relieved entirely from ordinary class
or course requirements. H e devotes half of his time during the last
two years to the subject of his major interest and divides the re
mainder between two related subjects which must fall within the
same division. Exceptions to this distribution of time are occasion
ally granted by the divisions concerned. Exceptions which involve
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
50
a cross-divisional combination of subjects must be approved by the
Instruction Committee of the Faculty.
Small groups of students meet their instructors in weekly confer
ences, known as seminar meetings. It is customary for students to pre
sent frequent papers at seminars, although the methods of stimulating
discussion vary greatly. In scientific subjects additional time is spent
in the laboratory. T h e work is so planned that a student takes two
seminars each semester, making a total of eight seminars during his
last two years. T h e length of the weekly seminar meeting varies from
a minimum of tw o hours, according to the amount of discussion pro
voked by the topics presented. Departments may permit their major
students to prepare a thesis in lieu of one seminar.
N o examinations or grades are given from semester to semester.*
A t the end of the Senior year honors students take written and oral
examinations given by examiners from other institutions.t Upon the
recommendation of these examiners, candidates are awarded the
bachelor’s degree with honors, high honors, or highest honors. In
the case of a candidate whose work 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 Chairman
of the division shall form a committee of the candidate’s instructors
who w ill examine the papers as a substitute for the comprehensive
examination required for a degree in course, and shall determine
*It is customary for honors students to take practice examinations at the
end of the Junior year over the work covered thus far. These papers are
read by the instructor concerned and are used as a basis for advice and
guidance for the work of the Senior year.

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
SYSTEM OF GRADES
53
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 work 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 w ith 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
for combinations of subjects or departments not provided for in the
divisional arrangements must be submitted by the division to the In
struction Committee of the Faculty for final approval.
C O U R S E A D V IS E R S
T h e course advisers of Freshmen and Sophomores are the Dean
of M en and the Dean of Women, 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 ajor
Departments.
SYSTEM O F GRADES
Instructors report to the Dean’s 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. A t the
end of each semester formal grades are given in each course under the
letter system, by which A means excellent w ork ; B means good work ;
C means fair w ork; D means poor work, and E shows failure.
W signifies 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. 50.)
T h e mark “ conditioned” indicates either ( 1 ) that a student has
done unsatisfactory w ork 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
54
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
otherwise satisfactory; when he completes it, he w ill remove his con
dition. Students should immediately ascertain from the instructor
concerned the exact terms upon which a condition may be removed.
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 work 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 n y 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.

T here 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; (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.
D uring their first three years, all engineering students follow the
schedule of courses outlined below. During the sophomore year, stu
dents 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
sciences 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. 72; 76-78; 80.)
Engineering students qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Science
in Engineering.

T h e curriculum for the first three years for a student who plans
to major in civil engineering is given on page 72.
T h e courses which must be taken in the Senior year are:
23.
25.
41.
24.
Structural Theory and Design
Civil Engineering Option
Heat Power Engineering
Engineering Economy
Since H eat Power Engineering and Engineering Economy are
half courses, one-quarter 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 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. Therefore the two
courses, Structural Theory and Design, No. 23, and C ivil Engineer
ing Option, No. 25, are broad in scope. Course 23 includes a review
o f fundamental mechanics and continues with the computation of
stresses, and the design of structures in steel, wood and concrete.
Course 25 may include railway and highway surveying, highway en
gineering, soil mechanics and foundations, hydrology, water supply,
sewage disposal and sewerage systems. In no year would all of
them be taught, the subject matter being varied in content and
emphasis to meet the needs and interests of different groups. T h e
subjects mentioned are taken up in series, making it possible to avoid
repetition and increase the efficiency of the teaching.
H o n o r s i n C iv il E n g in e e r in g
Senior students, normally of Group “ A ,” having completed their
junior year as outlined above, may apply to read for honors. T h e
topics of final examinations in civil engineering a re:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Analytic Mechanics and Strength of Materials
Structural Theory
Municipal Engineering
Reinforced Concrete
Soil Mechanics and Foundations
T h e fundamental ideal of the work in honors is to encourage each
student to go as far as he is capable in some one phase of civil engineer
ing. H e is urged to make himself familiar with all the latest develop-

Study of the most important problems of Linguistics, e.g. sound-change and the resulting
changes in accidence and syntax, semantic changes, relationship of languages and dialects,
geographical distribution and grouping of languages, characteristics of the most important
groups, the Indo-European family, etc. While the choice among the innumerable problems
of linguistics largely depends on the knowledge and special interests of the student group
considerable time is always devoted to English and American language problems and to
the relationship between linguistics and psychology. Some knowledge of German, French,
Latin, or Greek is very desirable; a reading knowledge of at least one foreign language is
required. Students who know non-Indo-European languages are especially welcome.
Occasionally prominent linguists are invited for discussions on their special fields. The
seminar is conducted in English. (See also schedules of Honors Seminars of the Depart
ments of English and of Psychology.)
Students who wish to write a thesis may apply to the Department
for permission to substitute such a project for the fourth seminar
of major work.' Application should be accompanied by a statement
which proves conclusively that an original contribution to literary
or linguistic research may be expected.

T h e survey course in European history, the only course open to
Freshmen (except by special permission from the department), is
prerequisite to any other courses or seminars in European or English
history. Students who expect to take a major in history, either in
Honors seminars or regular courses, should elect European history
in the Freshman year, American and English history in the Sopho
more year. Students who expect to include history as a minor sub
ject in Honors work should elect European history in Freshman year,
and either American or English history in Sophomore year if possible.
Course 2, the History of England, is required for admission to Honors
seminars in English history. Course 3, the History of the United
States, is required for admission to Honors seminars in American
history.
Unless otherwise noted, the following seminars are ordinarily of
fered by the department each year. Although an endeavor w ill be
made to offer in either semester any seminar desired by a sufficient
number of students, it is important to remember that this w ill fre
quently prove impossible and that some seminars can be offered only
in one semester. Students planning to enroll in history seminars ought,
therefore, to consult with the department as early as possible about
their choice of seminars and the semesters in which they are to be
taken.

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 wellrounded preparation for their comprehensive examinations. A read
ing knowledge of French and some acquaintance with the principles
of economic and political theory are essential for an intelligent appre
ciation of history. M ost graduate schools require a reading knowledge
of French, German, and Latin for any advanced degree in history.
T h e comprehensive examination for major students at the end of
their Senior year includes questions on the following topics: ( i )
European History, (2) English History, (3 ) the 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 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 with the 24-inch telescope, to photography with
the 9-inch doublet, and to the study of the eclipses of the sun. Stu
dents interested in any of these problems may w ork with advantage
in conjunction with one of the professors. Results of departmental
studies are published in the Sproul Observatory publications and in
various scientific journals.
T h e Observatory is open to visitors on the second and fourth T u es
day nights of each month, except those Tuesday nights that fall in a
vacation period. Visitors thus have an opportunity of seeing, in the
course of a year, many celestial objects of various types.

1. Introduction to Music, Analysis of Musical Forms, and Historical Survey.
Mr. Swann.
F u ll 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 analyze 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 55-60 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. The
a capella 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 con
junction 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,” the B flat
major mass of Haydn, and the Passion Music of Schütz. The last two have been recorded
by Victor and Columbia, respectively. Members of the chorus are expected to sing freely
in Latin and several modern languages. Rehearsals are held once a week with additional
work before the concerts.
3. The Swarthmore College Orchestra. Mr. Swann.
The orchestra is composed of 30-35 men and women. Its activities are closely tied to
those of the chorus, its main function being to accompany the chorus and soloists. How
ever, 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 are picked to perform on certain public
occasions.

H onors W o r k
Philosophy is a subject that has proved particularly w ell adapted
to study by the honors method, and advanced work in it is done
chiefly through honors seminars.
Prerequisites: For admission to honors study in philosophy, the
requirement is at least two semester courses in the field. It is
strongly recommended that one of these be the Introduction to
Philosophy (course 2 ). Students who do not take this course should
consult their instructors to make sure that their combinations w ill
be acceptable as prerequisites for honors work.

and discussion.
5. Classic Problems in Philosophy. Mr. Blanshard.
N ot given in 1938-39,
The first half of the study is devoted to the theory of knowledge; Montague’s W ays of
Knowing is used as a common basis and is supplemented by readings in contemporary
philosophy. 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 self, the problem of freedom, and the relation between
philosophy and religion. Limited to Seniors except for Juniors with special permission.
6. Aesthetics. Mr. Mandelbaum.
Both semesters.
A study, partly historical, partly systematic, of the philosophies of beauty and of art,

consideration of the nature and scope of science and scientific method; and of the
logical foundations of science, including the theories of induction and meaning, and the
relation of epistemology to the interpretation of science. Examination of such concepts
as space, time, causality, mechanism, vitalism, explanation, and other scientific concepts
of importance for the student of philosophy.
