SWARTHMORE COLLEGE

L O C A T IO N A N D H IS T O R Y
Swarthmore College is situated in the Borough of Swarthmore,
eleven miles southwest of Philadelphia on the W est Chester 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.

T h e Swarthmore College Bulletin, published quarterly, includes
as three of its numbers the College Catalogue, the Annual Report of
the President of the college, and the Students’ Handbook. T h e fourth
number is devoted to special reports.

ARTS AND CRAFTS

Creative activity at Swarthmore is undertaken for its own 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.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

M ost student activities are conducted in cooperation with mem­
bers of the faculty. T h e Student Council, however, is an elected body
representing the undergraduate interests of self-government and co­
ordinating student activities.
Departmental clubs of undergraduates which hold stated meetings
during the academic year include: the Cercle Français, the Chemistry
Club, the Classical Club, the 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
uate work, the Lucretia M ott Fellowship and the M artha E. Tyson
Fellowship. T h e final meeting in April, known as Somerville Day,
is a gathering of alumnae and students.
T h e Athletic Association is an organization of men students for the
maintenance of physical training and athletic sports. T h e Women s
Athletic Association is a similar organization of the women students.
T h e latter Association supports an Outing Club which gives women
opportunities for mountain climbing and camping.
T h e College dramatic program has two phases. O ne of these is
the presentation of two or more major productions each year in
Clothier M em orial auditorium. These plays are sponsored and man­
aged by the L ittle Theater Club, an elective organization for which
any student demonstrating an active and continued interest in dra­
matics is eligible. Participation in any branch of these productions
is open to all students, except that Freshman women are not per­
mitted 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 Labora­
tory Workshop. Included are courses in directing, acting, playwrit­
ing, design, technical work, and make-up, w ith practical work in
each field.
T h e Swarthmore College Orchestra and M ixed Chorus present
musical programs in the College and outside. T h e Swarthmore Col­
lege Glee Club, a men’s chorus, gives concerts in various cities under
alumni auspices. T here are also informal groups of those interested
in singing and in instrumental music.
T h e Swarthmore Chapter of the American Student Union is an
organization of liberal students who have an active interest in public
affairs and in educational policies.
T hree periodicals are published by the students: T h e Swarthmore
Phoenix, a weekly newspaper; T h e Portfolio, a literary magazine;
the Halcyon, a year-book edited by the Junior Class. T h e American
Student Union also publishes a Bulletin from time to time. There
are informal groups for the study of narrative, poetry, prose and
play writing.
T h e College Press Board is responsible for releasing news to the
Philadelphia and N ew Y o rk newspapers as w ell as to the home town
papers of the students. T h e Senior Board works with the College

T h e Debate Board., an undergraduate body including all students
who have represented the College in public debate, in cooperation
with the faculty adviser of debating, directs organized discussion and
debate. In addition to the intercollegiate debates, usually broadcast
by Philadelphia radio stations, student speakers appear before various
clubs and discussion groups in Philadelphia and nearby.
T h e Sketch and Camera Clubs meet regularly for work in free­
hand drawing and in photography.
T h e Radio Club operates Amateur Radio Station W 3 A J and is
affiliated with the American Radio Relay League.
Students interested in Crafts (woodworking, metal working, print­
ing, etc.) have the use of shops at regular hours under supervision.
Public Speaking Contests are open to all undergraduates includ­
ing contests for the W illiam Plumer Potter Prize (p. 34), the D elta
Upsilon Prize (p. 4 1 ) , and the E lla Frances Bunting Extemporaneous

N o student organization of the College may incur any financial
obligation, or make any contract involving a monetary considera­
tion without first obtaining the sanction of the Comptroller of the
College, or of the proper faculty committee under whose supervision
the organization is placed. Students contemplating a new organiza­
tion must first consult the faculty committee on Student Affairs.

T h e Swarthmore chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the national society
for the recognition of scholarship, was organized in 1896. Each
year a number of students in the senior class having the highest
standing are elected to membership.
T h e Swarthmore chapter of Sigma T au , the national society
standing for scholastic attainment in engineering, was established in
1917. Members are chosen from among Junior and Senior students
majoring in engineering.
T h e Swarthmore chapter of Sigma X i, the national scientific so­
ciety for the promotion of research, was granted a charter in 1922.
Students may become associate members after two and one-half years
in college provided that, in the opinion of the members of the society,
they evince promise of ability in research, and may become members
after they have produced a piece of research worthy of publication.

T h e Benjamin W est Society is made up of alumni, students, mem­
bers of the faculty, and friends of Swarthmore who have a concern
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.
O fficers,of the Association for the year 1939-40 are as follows:
President, Frank Aydelotte; Vice-Presidents, Charles F . Jenkins,
A lice Sullivan Perkins; Secretary, Ethel H . Brewster; Treasurer,

T h e W illiam J. Cooper Foundation was established by W illiam
J. Cooper, a devoted friend of the College, whose wife, Emma
M cllvarn Cooper, served as a member of the Board of Managers
from 1882 to 1923. M r. Cooper bequeathed to the College the sum
of $100,000 and provided that the income should be used “ in bring­

T h e Swarthmore College Library now numbers approximately
115,ocx) 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
w ork rooms for the Staff.
Important special units of the main Library are the Appleton \
collection of Classics and English literature and the Potter collec- J
tion of legal material. T h e Library is definitely a collection of books j
and journals for undergraduate use. T h e demands of honors work,
however, make necessary the provision of large quantities of source I
material not usually found in collections maintained for undergradu- J
ates. It is a point of library policy to supply as fully as it can, either I
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 j
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 Friends Historical Library, founded in 1870 by Anson Lapham, contains a valuable and growing collection of Friends records,
books, tracts, and early writings (many very rare), portraits of
representative Friends, pictures of old meeting houses, objects and
relics of personal and historic interest, and manuscripts relating to
the Society and its history. T h is collection is housed in the Library,
a fireproof building of stone and steel, the g ift 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
contributions are solicited, and should be addressed to the Friends H is­
torical Library, Swarthmore, Pa. T h e library is accessible to all per­
sons interested in the doctrines and history of Friends, and ample ar­
rangements are provided for its use for consultation and for reference.

for

M en .

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 1940 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 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 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 13, 1940, 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,

36

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 15 of the year in which they are
awarded. T h e awards w ill be announced about June first.

T h e I v y M e d a l F u n d was created by a gift from O w en 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 attain­
ments, as opposed to 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 a k L e a f M e d a l was established by David D w igh t R ow ­
lands 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. T h e medal is placed in the hands of the faculty to be awarded
each year to the woman member of the Senior Class who is out­
standing for loyalty, scholarship and service.
T h e M c C a b e E n g in e e r in g A w a r d , 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.

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 a t h a r i n e B . S ica r d P r iz e , endowed by the D elta Gamma
Fraternity in memory of Katharine B. Sicard, ex ’34, is awarded

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. 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.

subjects by taking examinations in those subjects at the end of their
Junior year.

a memorandum with the name and address of the candidate, the
center at which he w ill report for examination, the college to which
his report is to be sent, and the series of examinations (admission
or scholarship) he wishes to take.
N o candidate w ill be admitted to a test late, that is, after the
test has begun. Each candidate who is registered for the Scholastic
Aptitude T e st w ill receive a booklet containing a specimen test with
blank spaces to be filled in by the candidate. In order to secure ad­
mission to the test, the candidate must present not only his ticket
of admission but also the sheet with the spaces filled in as requested.
Inasmuch as no special preparation w ill be needed for this series
of examinations, detailed information regarding them, with the excep­

PROGRAM OF THE FIRST TWO YEARS

49

R E Q U IR E M E N T S F O R G R A D U A T IO N
Swarthmore College offers:
( i ) General Courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of A rts
or to the degree of Bachelor of Science. T h e latter is given only in
the Division of Engineering. A student in General Courses normally
carries four courses each year and must obtain a minimum average
of C in sixteen courses in order to qualify for graduation.
(2) Honors W o rk leading to the same degrees with Honors.
(See p. 51 for description of Honors W o rk and p. 52 for conditions
under which students in Honors W o rk qualify for the degree.)
T h e work of the first two years for all students is in General
Courses. (See below.) D uring the last tw o years qualified students
may read for Honors. Four years of resident study are normally
required for the completion of the w ork leading to the Bachelor’s
degree.
Subjects of instruction are classified according to departments, and
the departments are grouped into four divisions*: the 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 required to meet certain standards of participation in Physical
Education as set forth in the statement of that department (see pp.
107, 109) and for attendance at the Collection exercises of the C o l­
lege (see p. 24).
- PROGRAM OF THE FIRST TWO 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.
74 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 Natural 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

*For grouping of departments see page 17.

SO

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

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. T h e foreign language requirement
should normally be met by the end of the Sophomore year.
D uring 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. 61 ff.)
and consult the Deans and departmental course advisers to this end.
By the end of the first tw o years the student must have completed
eight full courses, including the above requirements.
PROGRAM OF THE LAST TWO 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 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.
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. 56), normally constitutes the course requirement for a
degree in General Courses. A student may carry extra work after
the Freshman year with the approval of his course adviser and of the
Committee on Prescribed and E xtra W ork, provided that his record
in the previous year has been satisfactory. 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.
COURSE ADVISERS

T h e course advisers of Freshmen and Sophomores are the Dean
of M en and the Dean of W om en, 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

HONORS WORK
Students who have shown themselves capable of higher than aver­
age intellectual achievement are permitted to read for the bachelor’s
degree w ith 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
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 work 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 allovy 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
o f 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 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 tw o 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
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

52

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

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 w ork 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 two hours, according to the amount o f 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.! 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
on the basis of these papers and their knowledge of a candidate’s past
work whether or not he is entitled to a degree in course.
Students admitted to honors w ork who prove unable to meet the
requirements or who for other reasons return to regular classes may
receive proportional course credit for the work they have done while
reading for honors.
Regulations governing possible combinations of major and minor
subjects in the four divisions appear below. Lists of seminars offered
in preparation for examinations follow departmental statements of
general courses.

dent’s time w ill probably be devoted to his major subject, the re­
mainder being divided between two related subjects within the
division.
DIVISION OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

M ajo r and minor subjects include Economics, History, Philosophy,
Psychology, and Political Science. Students in this division may devote
half their time to their major subject, dividing the remainder equally
between two related subjects; or they may do an equal amount of
work in two departments (one of which is to be designated as the
major department) and spend a quarter of their time on another sub­
ject.
DIVISION OF MATHEMATICS AND THE NATURAL SCIENCES

M ajo r subjects include Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics,
Psychology, Z o o lo gy; related minor subjects include the subjects listed,
and Astronomy and Philosophy. A t least half of the student’s time will
probably be devoted to his major subject, with the remainder divided
between two other related subjects within the division.
DIVISION OF ENGINEERING

M ajo r subjects for honors work in this division include C ivil E n­
gineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering; a
minor may be taken in either or both of the engineering departments
in which the student does not have his major, or in Chemistry, M ath ­
ematics, Physics or Economics. A t least one-half of the student’s time
w ill be devoted to his major in engineering. T h e degree granted is
the B.S. in Engineering.
T h e final examination w ill include papers on the fundamentals of
the three professional departments of engineering, four papers on the
seminars of the senior year, and one or two additional papers based
upon the course which the student has taken, the number of the papers
and their subjects to be determined by the faculty of the division.
(See pp. 74-83-)
P R O C E D U R E F O R A D M IS S IO N T O H O N O R S W O R K
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

54

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
/ V

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 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
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.

COOPERATION WITH NEARBY INSTITUTIONS

Since 1933, Swarthmore College and three nearby institutions— the
University of Pennsylvania, Bryn M aw r College, and Haverford
College— have been developing a cooperative plan which involves
some sharing of libraries and occasional interchange of instructors and
students. B y special arrangement students at Swarthmore may enroll
for work in one of the other three institutions.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

FACULTY REGULATIONS
ATTENDANCE AT CLASSES AND COLLECTION

Members of the Faculty w ill hold students responsible for regular
attendance at classes.
T h e last meeting before vacation and the first meeting after vaca­
tion in each course must be attended. T h e minimum penalty for
violation of this rule is probation: for absence at Thanksgiving, pro­
bation until the end of the semester; for absence at Christmas, pro­
bation until spring vacation; for absence at W ashington’s Birthday,
probation until M ay i ; and for absence at spring vacation, probation
for the rest of the year. T h e exact definition of probation in individual
cases is left to the Deans with the understanding that it shall include
attendance at all classes without cuts.
Absences from Collection are acted upon by the Collection Com­
mittee of the Faculty, which may give excuses for non-attendance
by day students under certain conditions. A ll students are allowed
two absences from Collection each semester.
GRADES

Instructors report to the D ean’s office at intervals during the year
upon the w ork 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 w ork;
C means fair w o rk ; D means poor work, and E shows failure.
W signifies withdrawn and Cond. signifies conditioned in the course.
Reports are sent to parents and to students at the end of each
semester.
F or graduation in General Courses, a C average is required; for
graduation in Honors work, the recommendation of the external exam­
iners. (See p. 5 1.)
CONDITIONS

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
otherwise satisfactory; when he completes it, he w ill remove his con­
dition. Students should immediately ascertain from the instructor

HEALTH

57

concerned the exact terms upon which a condition may be removed.
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.
EXAMINATIONS

A n y student who is absent from an examination, announcement
of which was made in advance, shall be given an examination at
another hour only by special arrangement with the instructor in charge
of the course.
N o examination in absentia shall be permitted. T h is rule shall be
interpreted to mean that instructors shall give examinations only at
the college and under direct departmental supervision.
SUMMER SCHOOL WORK

Students desiring to transfer credit from a summer school are re­
quired to obtain the endorsement of the chairman of the department
concerned before entering upon the work, and after completing the
work are required to pass an examination set by the Swarthmore de­
partment.
HEALTH

A ll accepted applicants for admission must present a certificate of
successful vaccination. Students suffering from a communicable
disease or from illness which makes it necessary for them to re­
main in bed must stay in the infirmaries for the period of
their illness.
A b s e n c e f r o m C l a s s e s .— W hen illness necessitates absence from
classes the student should report at once to the nurses or to the college
physicians.

Students have the opportunity to select their own physicians.

5§

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

T h e college physicians are available at their office hours for advice
on matters of health. N o charge is made for their service during office
hours.
REGULATION AGAINST MAINTENANCE OF AUTOMOBILES
AT SWARTHMORE

B y action of the Faculty, approved by the Board of Managers, un­
dergraduates are forbidden to maintain automobiles at the College
or in the Borough of Swarthmore. T h e regulation is as follow s:
Resident students are not allowed to keep automobiles on the cam­
pus or in the Borough of Swarthmore. T h e rule prohibits equally the
keeping of automobiles owned by students and those owned by other
persons but placed in the custody or control of students. D ay students
may use cars in commuting to college.
Under exceptional circumstances, a student may obtain permission
from one of the Deans to keep an automobile in the Borough for a
limited time.
Parents and students must realize that this regulation w ill be strictly
enforced; students who do not observe it w ill be asked to withdraw
from College.

MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS
A ll men students except Freshmen choose their rooms in order
determined by lot. A ll Freshmen, both men and women, are assigned
to rooms in order of date of application for admission. Upper class
women have a preferential system carried out by a committee of
students and members of the administrative staff.
In September, students are not admitted to the dormitories before
the day preceding registration except by special permission in advance
from the Deans.
T h e College dining-room is closed during the Christmas and spring
recesses. T h e College dormitories are closed during the Christmas
recess. Students leaving property in any College building during the
summer recess do so at their own risk.
A l l Freshmen must leave the College immediately after their last
examination in the spring in order that their rooms may be used by
Commencement visitors.

EXPENSES

59

EXCLUSION FROM COLLEGE

T h e College reserves the right to exclude at any time students
whose conduct or academic standing it regards as undesirable, and
without assigning any further reason therefor; in such cases the fees
due or which may have been paid in advance to the College w ill not
be refunded or remitted, in whole or in part, and neither the College
nor any of its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such
exclusion.

EXPENSES
T h e charge for tuition is $400.00 a year, payable in advance. N o
reduction of the tuition charge can be made on account of absence,
illness, dismissal during the year, or for any other reason whatsoever,
and no refunding w ill be made on account of any such causes.
T h e charge for board and residence is $500, of which at least half
is payable in advance. T h e remainder is due on the first of January.
If any student for any reason whatsoever shall withdraw or be with­
drawn from College, no portion of the payment for room-rent shall
be refunded or remitted.
A deposit of $50 is required of each student, payable with the regr
ular September bill, to cover incidental bills including books, laundry,
telephone and room breakage. W hen this deposit has been exhausted
a new deposit w ill be required immediately. A ny unused balance w ill
be returned at the end of each year.
A fee of $25 per semester is charged all students, to cover labora­
tories, athletics, social activities, dramatics, debate, class dues, and
postoffice boxes. T h is is payable with the regular semester bills.
Bills for the first payment are mailed before the opening of the
College year, and bills for the second payment are mailed before the
first of January following. Payments shall be made by check or draft
to the order of S W A R T H M O R E C O L L E G E . Every student is
responsible for prompt payment when due.
In case bills for the first semester are not paid by November 1,
and bills for the second semester by M arch 1, students owing such
bills may be excluded from all college exercises.
T h e funds used in paying for scholarships are derived from the
income of the endowment fund, and are received from time to time
during the year. Students receiving these benefits w ill have the
amount deducted from their bill due on January first. Should the

6o

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

amount of the scholarship exceed the amount of the January bill it
w ill be deducted from the bill for the entire year, the balance becom­
ing due in September.
Special students who enroll for less than the prescribed number
of courses w ill be charged $50 per half course.
T h e expenses of a student at Swarthmore, beyond the payments
made directly to the College, vary according to the individual.
Budgets reported by present students show that total expenditures
for tuition, board, books, clothing, and recreation are approximately
$1,200 for the academic year.
V O C A T I O N A L S E R V IC E
T h e Alum ni Secretary and an Assistant to the Dean of W omen

T here are three departments of Engineering: Civil, Electrical and
Mechanical. These departments cooperate in a program of ( i ) 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. D uring the sophomore year, stu­
dents are divided into tw o 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. 75 5 79 ‘ 8 i ; 83.)
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 75*
T h e courses which must be taken in the Senior year a re:
23.
25.
41.
24.

Structural Theory and Design
Civil Engineering Option
Heat Power Engineering
Engineering Economy

Since H eat Pow er 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
Natural 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
of 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 are:
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 w ork 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

living, grooving profession, and that he may w ell spend his best
energies to further that growth.
A major in civil engineering w ill take eight honors examinations,
at least three of which shall be from the above list; at least one in
electrical engineering; at least one in mechanical engineering, and the

engineering and others of Group “A” will take course 30A; all other engineering majors,

3°B.

These courses cover the laws, principles, and operation of large-power electrical apparatus;
direct and alternating current. The laboratory work will consist of two parts: (a) the
testing of typical machines and the preparation of adequate reports based on the tests,
(b) a computation period to solve some of the more routine problems involved in the
preparation of the reports.
Course 30A is open to students who have taken Engineering 8.

Electrical Engineering Options. Mr. Jenkins and/or Mr. McCrumm.
Full coursesfor one or two semesters.
These optional courses are to be taken in the senior year by those majoring in electrical
engineering and others interested in some fundamental phase of electrical engineering.
The courses listed below may be chosen by properly qualified students as determined by a
personal interview. These courses may or may not require laboratory work and may extend
through the year or be terminated at the end of a single semester as the needs of the indi­
vidual student demand.
31. Transients. Mr. Jenkins.

T h e general plan is that from the subjects listed above, and by
courses offered elsewhere in the college, the student w ill work out a
logically integrated, cognate, intensive study of one or more phases
of the theory of electrical engineering.
It is expected that a student majoring in electrical engineering w ill

11. German Authors in English Translations. Mr. Silz.
Full course.
This course may be taken by students who do not know German. Students who have a
reading knowledge of German may read the texts in the original.
12. German Conversation Classes, 1 hour each week; no credit.
These classes are recommended to every student of German, also to science students
who may choose courses is or as.
13. Poetry Groups, 1 hour each week; no credit.

T h e objective in Courses i and 2 is an ability to read German
of moderate difficulty, to enjoy and to appreciate German literature
of an easier type, and to speak and w rite simple German. T o attain
this end it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge of grammar
and a reasonably large active and passive vocabulary. These courses
are also recommended to science students who have a genuine inter­
est in German language and literature. Science students who are
mainly interested in acquiring a thorough reading knowledge of G er­
man should take Courses is and 2s.
T h e more advanced courses are intended to add knowledge and
appreciation of literature, and a command of the written and spoken
idiom. M ajo r and Honors students are encouraged to spend some
time in Germany. Practically all courses, with the exception of is
and 2s (and n ) , are conducted entirely in German.
Special arrangements are made for students who begin with G er­
man in college to enable them to choose German as a major or minor
subject in their Junior and Senior years.

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 major in history, either in honors
seminars or in 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 w ork should elect ’European history in Freshman year,
and either American or English history in Sophomore year if possible.
Course 2, the H istory of England, is required for admission to honors
seminars in English history, and Course 3, the History of the United
States, is required for admission to Honors seminars in American
history, unless special permission is obtained in advance.
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 w ork 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 oi
their Senior year includes questions on the following topics: ( i )
European History, (2 ) English History, (3 ) the H istory 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.

1. Introduction to Music, Analysis of Musical Forms, and Historical Survey.
Mr. Swann.

(Not given in IÇ39-40.)

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. Willoughby, Mr. Lafford.
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 smg 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. Willoughby, Mr. Page.
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.
4. The Theory of Music. Mr. Lafford.
Introduction to Musical Theory, comprising the mechanics of notation, time, and of
written music generally. Harmony, from two part and figured Harmony to unfigured
Harmony in any form, and Counterpoint to fifth species in three parts, with an introduction to Fugure.
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.
The Bronson Cutting Collection.
A collection of recorded music is available and request programs are played at scheduled
hours. (See page 28.)

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 w ork in it is done
chiefly through honors seminars.
Prerequisites: F or 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.
H onors S u b j e c t s in P h il o s o p h y :
1. Moral Philosophy. Mr. Blanshard, Mr. Nason, Mr. Brandt.
Both semesters,
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. Plato. Mr. Nason.
First semester.*
An examination of all the major and some of the minor Platonic dialogues in an effort
to understand his contributions to ethics, politics, and metaphysics and to appreciate his
importance for Western thought. Attention will be paid both to his historical setting and
to his significance for contemporary problems. Recommended for students of classics
and literature.
3. History of Modern Philosophy. Mr. Nason, Mr. Mandelbaum.
Both semesters.
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 movements. This
seminar may appropriately be combined with work in any of the three divisions.
4. Contemporary Philosophy. Mr. Nason.
First semester,*
A more intensive treatment of the epistemological and metaphysical problems raised in
the course on this subject. Bradley's Appearance and Reality, Dewey's The Questfor Cer­
tainty, and Broad's The Mind and Its Place in Nature will constitute the basis for essays
and discussion.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

5. Classic Problems in Philosophy. Mr. Blanshard.
Both semesters.
The first half of the study is devoted to the theory of knowledge; Montague’s Ways 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,
including theories of tragedy and comedy, of the sublime, and of standards of criticism.

Philadelphia. Recommended for students of literature and the fine arts.
7. Philosophy of Science. Mr. Brandt.
First semester.*
A 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.
8. Social Philosophy. Mr. Blanshard, Mr. Mandelbaum.
Both semesters.
A study of the ethical basis of the state, and of rights and duties within it; of the current
conflict between Fascist, Marxist, and democratic views of the state; of the ideas of equality,
liberty, law, property, and justice. Recommended for students in the social sciences.
9. Thesis.
A thesis may be substituted by majors in the department for one of the honors subjects,
upon application by the student and at the discretion of the department.

* The Philosophy Department is prepared to give any of the above seminars
upon the request of three or more students in either or both semesters. This
makes it difficult to state definitely in advance during which semester of
the year any seminar will be given. Students should accordingly treat the
semester listings above as customary rather than as fixed.

Students in general course must complete during their four years
the follow ing: T w o courses in chemistry, one course in mathematics,
one course in physics, two courses in German (or their equivalent),
four courses in zoology. Genetics (Botany Department) or botany
may be offered as one advanced zoology course. W ith permission
of the department a second course in physics, a second course in
mathematics or a third course in chemistry may be substituted for
the fourth course in zoology providing such a course is not being
offered as part of the minor requirement.
T h e departmental requirements of two courses in chemistry and
one in physics constitute a minor for zoology majors.

First semester,
A study of the minute structure of animals by the examination of living cells and tissues,
and by the analysis of prepared slides, most of these slides are prepared by the student who
thus acquires a working knowledge of microscopical technique.
Neurology. Mr. Scott.

First semester.
A preliminary consideration of the evolution of the nervous system is followed by a
detailed study of the anatomy of the human brain with special emphasis upon the internal
structure and its physiological implications. Frequent reference is made to corresponding
features of the brains of lower vertebrates.
