SWARTHMORE COLLEGE
Swarthmore College is situated in the Borough of Swarthmore, eleven miles southwest of Philadelphia on the Octoraro
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Swarthmore is connected
with Broad Street Station by nineteen inbound and twenty-two
outbound trains daily, the running time o f which varies from
nineteen minutes on express schedule to thirty-six minutes on the
local schedule. Three trolley lines, running cars at fifteen- to
thirty-minute intervals, also connect with Philadelphia elevated
and surface lines.
The College buildings and campus occupy a commanding posi
tion upon a wooded hill not far from the center o f the town.
The Delaware River is about four miles distant. More than two
hundred acres are contained in the College property, including
a large tract of woodland and the beautiful rocky valley of
Crum Creek.
There are over twenty College buildings.
The enrollment o f the College is limited to five hundred
students.
The total of the College endowment is more than three million
dollars.
The College was founded in 1864 through the efforts o f mem
bers o f the Religious Society of Friends, for the purpose of
securing to the youth of the Society an opportunity for higher
educational training under the guarded supervision and care
o f those o f their own religious faith. Other applicants are ad
mitted on the same terms as Friends, and nothing of a sec
tarian character exists in the instruction or in the management
o f the College. According to its first charter, membership on the
Board o f Managers o f the College was limited to persons belong
ing to the Society of Friends. The purpose of this restriction
was not to establish sectarian control, but to prevent forever
the possibility o f such control by any sectarian element which
might otherwise have come to be represented on the Board. This
14
SWAKTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
restriction is now believed to be no longer needed and is omitted
from the revised charter. The intention of its founders was to
make the promotion o f Christian character the first considera
tion, and to provide opportunities for liberal culture while main
taining a high standard o f scholarship. These aims have been
followed in the administration of the institution.
BUILDINGS
Parrish Hall is a massive stone structure, with its central por
tion separated from the two wings by fireproof compartments.
The central building, 348 feet long and five stories high, fur
nishes assembly room, lecture rooms, museum, parlors, dining
and offices. The wings are four stories high. The ground
floor of each wing is used for lecture and recitation room s; the
remaining floors contain the dormitories of the women students.
Assistant to the Dean o f Women and several matrons reside in
the building.
Wharton Hall, the dormitory for young men, is named in
honor o f its donor, Joseph Wharton, late President of the board
of Managers. The capacity o f the hall is about two hundred.
It stands in the west campus on the same ridge as Parrish Hall,
and commands a view o f the Delaware River valley.
W orth Hall, a dormitory for seventy young women students,
is an attractive building of native stone, with mottled slate roofs,
including six cottages, contiguous but distinctive in design. It
is located on the east side of the campus, near Chester Road and
College Avenue. The building and its equipment were the gift
o f the late William P. Worth, ’76, and the late J. Sharpless
Worth, ex-’73 as a memorial to their parents.
The Science Hall is a two-story stone building devoted chiefly
to the departments o f Physics, Biology and Education. It
contains physical and biological laboratories. The east wing of
this building includes a new biological laboratory named in
honor of Professor Spencer Trotter, commemorating the thir
tieth anniversary of the graduation o f the class o f 1890.
The Hall o f Chemistry is a red brick building, two stories
high, and contains a finished basement. The basement has an
assay laboratory furnished with wind and muffle furnaces, a fire
SWARTHMOBE COLLEGE BULLETIN
15
proof combustion room, a laboratory for gas analysis, a photo
metric dark room, large stock room, and cloak and toilet rooms.
On the first floor are offices, and laboratories for quantitive
analysis and for general chemistry. The large amphitheater
lecture room, seating one hundred persons and extending to the
basement, is reached from this floor. The second floor contains
the organic laboratory, the laboratory for qualitative analysis,
the laboratory for physical chemistry, the laboratory for elec
trolytic chemistry, and the library. Two balance rooms, one on
the first floor and one on the second floor, contain balances
mounted on columns built independently of the foundations and
floors of the building. The laboratories are equipped with all
the necessary modem apparatus. The chemical library contains
scientific and technical books pertaining to chemistry, and com
plete sets o f five o f the leading chemical journals. Through the
generosity o f Mrs. Peter T. Berdan, the library has received a
complete set o f the publications o f the London Chemical Society,
and a set o f the Journal o f the London Society o f Chemical
Industry, presented by Mrs. Berdan as a memorial to her son,
Frederick T. Berdan, a member o f the Class o f 1890.
The Sprout Astronomical Observatory, equipped by former
Governor William Cameron Sproul, '91, contains nine rooms.
On the first floor are offices, a departmental library, a computa
tion room, class room, and a measuring room. On the second
floor are a lecture room seating seventy-five persons, a dark
room, and the dome room. Practically all the classes o f the de
partment o f Mathematics and Astronomy, and some classes of
other departments are held in the Observatory.
The chief instrument o f the equipment is an equatorial re
fractor o f twenty-four inches aperture, and thirty-six feet focal
length, the mounting and optical parts o f which were made by
the John A. Brashear Co., Ltd. The mounting is modem and
convenient, motors being provided for winding the clock and
moving the telescope. The driving clock is electrically con
trolled. A disc driven by a sidereal clock situated on the north
side of the pier reads right ascensions directly. The telescope
is mounted in a dome room forty-five feet in diameter. The
dome is a steel structure covered with copper and is revolved by
16
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
an electric motor. The telescope is provided with the usual
oculars, helioscope, position micrometer, double-slide plateholder,
and two ray filters.
There is also a photographic telescope of nine inches aper
ture and forty-five inches focal length, mounted after the de
sign of the Bruce telescope at Yerkes Observatory. The instru
ment is provided with a heavy mounting, a heavy driving clock,
coarse and fine position circles, a guide telescope, and such other
accessories as make it an effective and convenient instrument.
There are also two measuring engines for measuring five-by
seven photographic plates. One of these was built by Brashear,
the other by Gaertner. There is also a blink microscope.
Stephen Loines has given to the observatory a Polar Equa
torial a new type of telescope, designed and built by the Alvan
Clark and Sons’ Corporation. W ith this type o f telescope the
observer is enabled to make his observations while seated in a
warm room. It is housed in the Sproul Observatory.
The Students’ Astronomical Observatory, situated on the
campus a short distance southeast o f Parrish Hall, is especially
equipped for the purposes o f instruction. It contains a refract
ing telescope o f six inches aperture, mounted equatorially, fitted
with the usual accessories, including a position micrometer and
a spectroscope. The observatory also contains a transit instru
ment o f three inches aperture, a sidereal clock and a chrono
graph. Mounted in a room adjoining the transit room is a Milne
seismograph, presented by Joseph Wharton, which records photo
graphically the E -W components of vibrations o f the crust of
the earth. The latest addition to this observatory building con
tains the photographic telescope referred to above.
The Library Building. On the lower east campus, near the
Benjamin West House, stands the Library, a fine specimen of
the English Scholastic Gothic style. The Library was built and
furnished through a gift to the College from Mr. Andrew
Carnegie and is maintained from the income on a sum sub
scribed by several friends of the College. The building is con
structed of local granite, with terra cotta and Indiana limestone
trimmings and was erected under the supervision o f Edward L.
Tilton, of New York. In the second story o f the entrance tower,
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

mon use.
Beardsley Hall is a three-story building o f concrete block con
struction, with interior work all o f reinforced concrete. It
represents a modern type o f factory building. The ground floor
contains the forge and foundry, the second floor the machine
shop and the third floor the woodworking department.
Hicks Hall, a three-story stone building, is the headquarters
o f the Division o f Engineering. This building was erected in
1920 and was given by Frederick C. Hicks, Swarthmore, class of
1893, and dedicated to the memory o f the Hicks family of Long
Island, Isaac Hicks, Elias Hicks, Benjamin D. Hicks and Alice
A. Hicks. The first floor is largely taken up by the mechanical

system of gymnastics. In the basement are dressing rooms,
showers, and lockers fo r the use of day students who take work
in the department of Physical Education.
There are two Swimming Pools in separate stone buildings,
one for the women and another for the men. These pools were
presented to the College by Philip M. Sharpies. The building
which contains the women’s swimming pool is connected by a
corridor with Somerville Hall, and the men’s pool is connected
in like manner with the William J. Hall Gymnasium.
The Heating and Lighting Plant. A central heat, light, and
power plant is housed in a single-story brick structure, situated

SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN
33
(1 ) The idea behind the Ivy Medal is in general the Rhodes Scholarship
qualifications, including (a ) qualities o f manhood, force o f character, and
leadership; (6 ) 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 o f the donor that the medal should not be awarded on
a mere basis o f averages. Instead, it is desired that the winner should be a
man who gives promise o f distinction either in character or in intellectual
attainments, as opposed to a man who has merely made the most o f mediocre
abilities.
(3 ) On the other hand, it is the wish o f 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.

graduate.

(1) To inspect the examination record or the school record
o f the applicant to ascertain scholastic qualifications
and
(2) To interview the applicant and consider recommenda
tions o f persons acquainted with the applicant to
judge as to personal qualities.

D EFIN ITIO N OF ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
I t is to be noted that the subjects included among the entrance
requirements are rated as strictly as possible according to the
time that should have been devoted to preparatory work in each.
In regard to a unit o f admission requirements, the faculty of
Swarthmore College has approved the following statement, which
has been adopted by the National Conference Committee on
Standards of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the College En
trance Examination Board, and the Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement o f Teaching:
A unit represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondary
school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year’s
work.
This statement is designed to afford a standard o f measure
ment for the work done in secondary schools. It takes the fouryear high school course as a basis, and assumes that the length
of the school year is from thirty-six to forty weeks, that a period
is from forty to sixty minutes in length, and that the study is
pursued for four or five periods a week. B y this standard a
satisfactory year’s work in any subject cannot be accomplished
under ordinary circumstances in less than one hundred and
twenty sixty-minute hours or their equivalent. Schools or
ganized on any other than a four-year basis, can, nevertheless,
estimate their work in terms o f this unit.
The total number of units required on this basis for admission
to Swarthmore College is fifteen.
In accordance with a resolution adopted in 1908 by the Mod
ern Language Association o f America and a similar one adopted
in 1914 by the Association o f Modern Language Teachers o f the
Middle States and Maryland, it is recommended that the schools
preparing students for Swarthmore College prescribe adequate
aural and oral tests for all candidates who desire to present a
foreign modern language in satisfaction o f requirements for
admission.
Detailed definitions o f the requirements in all subjects listed
under the general statement on page 00, including lists o f ex
42
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
periments in the natural sciences are given in a special cir
cular o f information published annually by the College Entrance
Examination Board. Copies of this document may be obtained
from the Secretary o f the Board, 431 West 117th Street, New
York, N. Y . Upon request to the Board a single copy will be
sent to any teacher without charge. In general a charge of
twenty cents, which may be remitted in postage stamps, will be
made.
LIM ITA TIO N OF ENROLLMENT
The size o f the Freshman class each year is determined by the
resolution o f the Board o f Managers which limits the total en
rollment o f the College to 500 students, 250 men and 250 women.
From the applicants for admission in any year who meet fully
the entrance requirements o f the College, the members of the
Freshman class are chosen in the order o f merit. Ranking in
the highest quarter of their class in school is practically a requi
site. In the determination of scholarship, breadth o f reading
and interest in intellectual matters are considered as well as
school grades. As to character, the qualities sought are the sim
plicity, moral earnestness and idealism which have been tradi
tionally associated with the Society of Friends and with Swarthmore College. Preference is given to candidates who are children
of Friends and o f Alumni o f the College provided their school
records meet in all respects the standards set by the College for
admission. When the merits of two candidates are approximately
equal, it is considered fair that preference should be given to
the earlier application.
Candidates for admission should make early application.
Record of their school work for the first three years, signed by
the school Principal should be submitted one year prior to ad
mission. Application blanks and certificate blanks are furnished
by the Dean of the College upon request. Certificates are re
turned to the school Principals in the spring for the record of
the Senior year.
Applicants whose school records are good are invited to call
at Swarthmore College at suitable times during the fall and win

ter for interviews. Persons living too far from Swarthmore to
make this possible are interviewed by representatives of the
College in any part o f the United States.
The names of the women applicants accepted for admission
are announced as soon as possible after March 1, and the names
o f the men applicants as soon as possible after May 1, of the
year o f admission.
A D VAN CED STANDING
F or favorable consideration, applicants for advanced stand
ing must have had a high scholastic record in the institution
from which they desire to transfer, and must present full creden
tials for both college and preparatory work and a letter of
honorable dismissal. In general, students are not admitted to
advanced standing later than the beginning o f the Junior year.

REQUIREM ENTS FO R GRADUATION
T H E GENERAL UNDERGRADUATE COURSE OP STUDY
The degree o f Bachelor o f Arts is conferred upon those who
complete the undergraduate course as outlined below. This
course is based upon uniform requirements for admission, and
upon certain studies which are prescribed for all matriculates.
In addition to securing this fundamental uniformity, it provides
for the varied needs and capacities o f individuals by permitting
a wide range o f election on the part o f the student or his ad
viser; and it seeks, also, to provide a thorough training, extend
ing over three or four years, in some one department of study.
The requirement o f a thesis from a candidate for the Bachelor’s
degree is left to the option o f the head o f the department in
which the m ajor is taken.
Candidates for graduation in the Department o f Liberal Arts
are required to complete one hundred and twenty-four “ hours”
in addition to the prescribed work in physical education. For
the number o f hours required for graduation in the Departments
of Engineering and in the Department of Chemistry, see the
courses o f study outlined under the various departments. The
foregoing are minimum requirements. Students may he re
quired to complete additional “ hours” fo r graduation as penal
ties fo r absences from collection or from class room, laboratory,
or other college exercises. A n “ hour” signifies one recitation or
lecture (or its equivalent) a week throughout one college semes
ter. A recitation or lecture is regularly fifty-five minutes long,
and the preparation o f the student is estimated at an average
o f two hours for each class exercise. In the Departments of
Engineering, Biology, and Chemistry a laboratory period is
three hours in length. In other departments, where additional
work is required outside of the laboratory, the laboratory period
is two hours in length. It is designed to make the laboratory
exercise, as nearly as possible, equivalent in its demands to the
hours defined above.
The prescribed number o f hours for students majoring in
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
45
the Departments of Liberal Arts is seventeen for each semester
o f the freshman year and fifteen for each semester of the sopho
more, junior, and senior years. The prescribed number of hours
for students majoring in Engineering ranges from fifteen to
twenty for each semester.
Quality Points.— A n average quality grade shall be required
for graduation, and for the purpose o f determining this quality
grade, numerical values called “ points,” shall be given to the
grade letters, as follows: for grade A, three points for each
semester hour o f course in which the grade is received; for
grade B, two points; for grade C, one point; for grade D, no
point. The grade D is sufficient to pass a course, but does not
count any point.
In accordance with this valuation the requirements in “ points”
for graduation of all students, both those in Arts and in A p
plied Science, is one hundred and twenty-four.
This is a
requirement for Arts students of an average grade o f C. In
other words, A rt students are required for graduation to pre
sent one hundred and twenty-four hours of credit and one hun
dred and twenty-four points. Students in Applied Science will
be required for graduation to present the number o f hours of
credit now prescribed (ranging from one hundred and thirtytwo to one hundred and forty-eight) and one hundred and
twenty-four points.
Extra or Less Hours.— Students are not allowed to carry more
nor less than the prescribed amount o f work except in special
cases approved by the Committee on Prescribed and Extra
Work. Students often find it difficult, however, to make out a
course o f study for the exact number o f hours, and for this
reason a variation of one hour more or less than the prescribed
number of hours may be allowed by the course adviser. In such
cases the endorsement of the course adviser must be secured in
writing on the Enrollment Card.
Students desiring to carry more than one hour in excess of
the prescribed number, or more than one hour below the pre
scribed number, must make application to the Committee on
Prescribed and Extra W ork on a regular form provided for the
purpose by the Dean. No student whose marks have fallen be
46
SW ARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
low C in any subject or below B in more than one department
during the preceding semester shall be permitted to enroll for
more than one hour in excess o f the prescribed number. For
students entering from other schools or colleges these grades shall
be determined from their entrance certificates. No application
o f a student to enroll for more or less than the prescribed num
ber of hours shall he considered by the committee unless accom
panied by the written endorsement o f the course adviser.
I.
Prescribed Studies.— These studies must he taken by all
students who are candidates for graduation, unless for special
reasons permission to substitute some other work is obtained
from the proper faculty committee. The whole o f the first year
is devoted to five o f the prescribed studies with one elective.
The time and order in which the remaining studies are taken
may vary according to the requirements o f each department.
The prescribed work, amounting to forty-three hours, exclusive
o f the Physical Education, includes the following studies:
Group 1. English.— Ten hours, four of which must be taken
in English Composition, and six in English Literature.
Group 2. Greek, Latin, French, German, Spanish.— Twelve
hours in any one o f these languages, or six hours in each of two.
I f a language is begun in College it must be pursued for two
years.
Group 3. Twelve* hours, in the following departments: His
tory, History of Religion and Philosophy, Economics, Political
Science, Education, and the Fine Arts.
Group 4. Biology, Chemistry, Physics.— Six hours, to be taken
in any one o f the three departments, and to include at least one
credit-hour of laboratory work throughout a year.
Group 5. Mathematics, Astronomy.— Six hours, to be taken in
either one of the two studies.
Group 6. Physical Education.— F or the prescribed amount
o f work in this department, see the statements under the De
partment o f Physical Education.
Students who fail in the required courses o f the freshman
year shall enroll in these courses during the sophomore year.
* Students in the Departments o f the applied sciences are required to take nine
hours in the Departments mentioned.
SWAKTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN
47
No deviation from this rule will be allowed except on the writ
ten endorsement of the course adviser, and after notification to
the professor in charge o f the subject in which the student
failed.
A ll prescribed studies must be completed or in actual process
of completion at the beginning of the senior year except in cases
where such prescribed work is not offered until the second semes
ter of the senior year.
No substitution of elective for prescribed work where more
than one semester is involved shall be permitted after the be
ginning o f the senior year, nor in any case after the beginning
o f the second semester o f the senior year.
Application for permission to substitute an elective for a pre
scribed study must be made to the Committee on Prescribed and
Extra W ork on a regular form provided by the Dean for the
purpose.
Students in engineering and applied science will take an ex
amination in Plane Trigonometry before entering upon the study
of Analytic Geometry. Those who do not show a sufficient
knowledge o f the subject in this examination will take a course
in Plane Trigonometry in College as an extra study not to be
counted for credit toward graduation.
II.
Major Subject.— Every candidate for graduation is re
quired to select the work o f some one department as his major.
In most cases the selection may well be postponed until the be
ginning o f the second year. In the department thus chosen the
student must complete eighteen hours as a minimum (the pre
scribed work done in the major study to be included in this
minimum), and the professor in charge may, at his option, de
termine the work o f thirty-six hours, provided six hours shall
not be in his own department. I f the m ajor study is one o f the
languages, at least six hours of the prescribed work must be
taken in another language. No matter how much credit may
have been given on entrance, no student is allowed to graduate
who has not been enrolled as a student o f Swarthmore College
at least one year and who has not had in the College at least
one year’s work in his major.
48
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
I f the major study is changed from any branch o f Engineer
ing to a department in Arts, the number of credit hours then
on record will be adjusted to the basis o f 124 hours.

the status o f an honors student depends upon the quality of the
applicant’s work in the first two years. In the consideration of
this record, special aptitude is regarded as o f more importance
than a mere high average of grades all round. Honors students
are excused from the ordinary examinations and course require
ments. Instead, they are expected to spend two years in master
ing a certain definitely outlined field o f knowledge over which
they are examined at the end o f their two years’ work. Their
instruction is mainly individual, and a large part of their work
is done independently by their own reading. It is open to Honors
students to attend as many or as few o f the regular classes of
the College as they desire, though they are guided in this respect
by the advice o f the Chairman of the division in which they are
reading. The comprehensive examinations at the end o f their
course consist of from ten to twelve three-hour papers followed
by an oral examination. These tests are conducted not by the
persons who have had charge o f the preparation of the candidates
but by professors from other institutions. On the basis of these
examinations, Honors students’ are given the degree o f Bachelor
o f Arts with Honors of the first or second or third class as their
merits may deserve. Candidates whose work is not of a high
enough quality to entitle them to any of these classes may be
given the ordinary A. B. degree without Honors.
Honors work is carefully organized but not so narrowly
specialized as to fall in any case within the limits o f a single
department. Instead, each honors course is given by a group of
departments combined into a division. The divisions in which
honors work is now being offered, together with the requirements
in each, are as follows:
DIVISION OP E N G LISH LITERATU RE
The Honors course in the Division o f English Literature is
conducted jointly by the Departments o f English, History, and
Philosophy. The Committee in charge consists of Dr. Goddard,
English, Chairman; Dr. Hull, H istory; Dr. Holmes, Philosophy;
and President Aydelotte and Dean Walters, English.
The field covered by the course is the history o f English
50
SWARTHMOEE COLLEGE BULLETIN
thought from the Fourteenth Century through the Nineteenth,
with its necessary background o f social and political history.
The main part of the work is comprised in the study o f six topics
outlined below. Honors students are left to prepare for them
selves those portions of English History and Literature not cov
ered by the special topics.
I. English Literature o f the periods o f Chaucer, Shakespeare,
and Milton.
II. The Social and Political History o f England from the
Black Death to the Restoration o f Charles II.
III. The Transition in England from Mediaeval to Modern
Thought during the Renaissance and the Reformation.
IY . English Literature from the French Revolution to the End
o f the Nineteenth Century.
Y . History of England from the French Revolution to the
end o f the Nineteenth Century.
Y I. Philosophy and Science in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth
Centuries.
The set books required o f all students are announced in a list
published two years in advance and may be changed after each
two-year period.
Students desiring to read fo r honors in this division should
enroll in their Freshman year in a special section o f English
4, A General Introduction to English Literature. They are also
required to take, in their Freshman or Sophomore year the fol
lowing courses: (1) Introduction to Philosophy, (2) Logic or
Scientific Method, (3) A General Survey of English History,
Course 93. Courses 93 (a) and 93 (b) are open to Honors stu
dents in their Junior and Senior year and are especially designed
to supply a more detailed background than that given in Course
93 for the field covered by the honors work; these courses are
therefore strongly recommended.
DIVISION OP T H E SOCIAL SCIENCES
The Honors course in the Division o f the Social Sciences is
conducted jointly by the Departments o f Political Science, Eco
nomics, History, Education, and Philosophy. The Committee in
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
51
charge consists of Dr. R. C. Brooks, Political Science, Chairman ;
Mr. Hersey, Economics; Dr. Manning, H istory; Dr. Ryan, Edu
cation ; and Dr. Blanshard, Philosophy.
The course covers prescribed books in political philosophy, in
history, in philosophy and ethics, and in economic history and
economic theory. The general topics considered by the group
include history o f political ideas; political institutions of the
United States and Great Britain; development of modern na
tional states; money and currency; industrial development and
industrial conditions; population and labor; and a study o f the
leading economic forces that have shaped the political and social
institutions o f the United States.
The prescribed books and books suggested for supplementary
reading are listed two years in advance, the list may be changed
at the end of each two-year period.
DIVISION OP M A T H E M A T IC S, A STR O N O M Y , A N D P H Y SIC S
The Honors work in the Division o f Mathematics, Astronomy,
and Physics is conducted jointly by these departments of the
College. The Committee in charge consists of Dr. Miller, Mathe
matics and Astronomy, Chairman; Dr. Marriott, Mathematics
and Astronomy; and Dr. Wright, Physics.
The course presumes a grounding in preparatory and cultural
subjects. As fundamental for reading for honors in this division
the students must have taken in class, under instructors, Trigo
nometry, Algebra, Plane Analytic Geometry, Solid Analytic
Geometry, Calculus, Advanced Calculus and Differential Equa
tions. The Honors course then takes up Spherical Trigonometry,
Theory o f Equations, Theory o f Determinants and their A ppli
cation, Infinite Series and Infinite Products, Introduction to the
Theory o f Simpler Functions, Theory o f Finite Differences and
Interpolations, and a short history o f Mathematics, Astronomy,
or Physics. Three or four subjects are selected from the follow
ing: Theory o f Differential Equations, Mechanics, Theory of
Probability, Advanced Analytic Geometry, Theory o f Vectors,
Theoretical Physics. The student who majors in Astronomy will
52
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
read in addition the Theory and Practice o f Determining Stellar
Parallax, or Photometry, or Theory of Orbits.
DIVISION OP F R E N C H
The work of students reading for honors in French is directed
by Professors Bronk and Bagley. This work comprises :
(a) A practical knowledge of the French language as it exists
today, with the power to write, speak and pronounce it with some
degree o f excellence; also an acquaintance with French literature
from its beginnings. This knowledge may be largely obtained
by following in cursu thirty-six hours o f class-room work given
here at the College.
(b ) Familiarity with the history of France, its civilization, arts,
etc., as well as with the history and development of the French
language from the earliest times. This latter is to be obtained by
studying Nyrop, Grammaire historique de la langue française,
Part I, and Brunot, Histoire de la langue française, Parts I-IY.
The ability to read the simpler literary monuments of the Old
French period in their original form is required.
(c ) A thorough and rather detailed study o f some one field or
epoch of French literature or of some one writer.
(d ) A good reading knowledge of either Italian or Spanish and
the ability to pronounce this language.
A t the weekly conference hours honors students give reports
in French and all discussion is carried on in French.
DIVISION OP T H E CLASSICS
The work o f students reading for Classical Honors is directed
by the Professors of the Department o f Greek and Latin. The
course includes, as stated subjects, the Greek and Latin lan
guages, Greek moral and political philosophy, the histories of
ancient Greece and Rome, and, as optional subject, Greek and
Roman fine art. Students follow one or the other of the follow
ing programs according to whether they elect Greek or Latin as
a m ajor language.
(a) F or Classical Honors with Greek as major.
Seven prescribed studies as follows : Greek and Roman History,
Greek Tragic Drama, Greek Philosophy, Greek Epic, Greek Prose

DIVISION OP GERM AN
The work o f students reading for honors in German is directed
by Professor Newport.
The requirements are as follows :
(a) The power to write and speak German fluently and cor
rectly.
(b ) A thorough acquaintance with German literature from the
beginnings. The monuments written in Old High German may
he read in translation into modern German. Those in Middle

(c) Two elective studies from the following: The Develop
ment o f the German Language ; Philosophy with special stress on
German Philosophy; History of Germany from the Earliest
Times ; Economics and Political Science with special reference to
the achievements of the Germans in these fields.
DIVISION OF C H E M ISTR Y
The Honors work in the Division o f Chemistry will start with
the academic year 1926-27. Students will not he admitted to
work in this division until at the beginning o f the senior year.
To be admitted, students will be required to show a knowledge
of elementary mathematics (including a working knowledge of
the calculus), a reading knowledge o f German, and familiarity
with the elements o f inorganic and organic chemistry, analytical
54
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
chemistry (qualitative and quantitative analysis— including the
determination o f carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen in organic com
pounds) , the elements of physical chemistry and the fundamental
concepts of physics.
The work o f the senior year will consist o f intensive work in
organic, physical, electro, and colloid chemistry. Each student
will be required to take a particular field which he will be ex
pected to master in its general outline, and he will then under
take some one particular problem for individual research in this
field. Instruction will be largely individual, both as regards
library and laboratory work. Students will not be required to
attend formal lectures but will hold frequent conferences with
the instructors in charge.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREM ENTS FOR HONORS STUDENTS
To take effect as stated below in 1924-25 and succeeding years,
the following language requirements must be met by all candi
dates for graduation with honors in the English Group, the
Group in the Social Sciences, and such of the other groups as
may accept it:
A reading knowledge o f two o f the following languages, at
least one o f which must be chosen from the first lis t:
List
I. French, German, Spanish, Italian.
List II. Latin, Greek.
Honors students are urged to complete these language require
ments at the end o f the Sophomore year or at the earliest possible
date hereafter. In any event they must present themselves for
examination in one language before the end o f their Junior year,
and in the second language before the end of .the first semester
of their Senior year.
RU LE COVERING CASES OF STUDENTS DROPPING HONORS W O R K
It is, o f course, expected that honors students will continue
normally in honors work for two years, being examined only at
the end o f that time, except for a reading knowledge of lan
guages as provided in the regulations dealing with that subject.
Only reasons o f a grave character justify a student in giving
55
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
up honors work, or the faculty o f the group in dropping a stu
dent, prior to the end of the two year period. Whenever neces
sary such action should be decided upon immediately prior to
the end o f a 'Semester. In all such cases the student involved
shall take an examination in each o f the subjects covered during
his continuance in honors work, and be given hours o f credit
equivalent to the total number o f hours he would have earned
in ordinary courses during the same period, with grades deter
mined by the degree o f success attained in the said examina
tions. The number o f hours o f credit to be assigned the student
in each subject he has pursued in honors work shall be deter
mined by the head o f the honors group concerned in consultation
with his colleagues of the same group.

COURSE A D V ISE R S
A ll students are expected to confer with their respective
course advisers before enrolling in classes. The professor in

each student who has chosen a major subject. The Dean will
designate the course adviser for students who have not chosen
their m ajor subjects.
E X T R A W O R K DONE OUTSIDE OF CLASSES
No student will be granted credit for work in excess o f that
regularly listed on the enrollment card unless permission to do
so is granted by the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork
at the written request o f the course adviser. A ll students ex
cept those desiring credit for intercollegiate debating must gain
permission of the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork
before the work is entered upon.
SUMMER SCHOOL W O RK
Students desiring to transfer credit in a prescribed subject
from a university summer school are required to obtain the
endorsement o f the head o f the department concerned before
entering upon the work.
REM O VAL OF CONDITIONS
Members o f the graduating class must make up all outstand
ing conditions and deficiencies by the end o f 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 be made up in the semester immediately
following that in which the work reported as conditioned was
done, and as early in the semester as possible; except that by
special permission o f the professor concerned the time for mak
ing up the condition may be extended to the second semester
following in case (1) the course for which the condition was
imposed was not repeated until said second semester, and (2) it is
considered necessary by the professor that the student should
SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
59
make up part or all o f the class or laboratory work involved at
the time the course is repeated. A ny condition not made up
within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter have
the effect upon the records o f an “ E ,” i.e., complete failure,
which cannot be made up.
SYSTEM OF GRADES
Reports o f students’ work are received at the Dean’s office four
times a year; at the end o f each semester and at each mid
semester. A ll grades are mailed to parents at the end o f each
semester, and are also given out to students at each mid-semester
and at the end o f the first semester.
The following system o f marking is used by instructors: A
(excellent, 100-90 per c e n t.); B (good, 89-80 per ce n t.); C
(fair, 79-70 per cent.) ; D (poor, 69-60 per ce n t.); E (fa ile d );
W (w ithdraw n); Cond. (Conditioned).
The mark “ conditioned” shall be reported for only two rea
sons: (1 ) for unsatisfactory work in a semester course in which
the condition may be removed by doing satisfactory work either
in another semester course which involves the subject-matter of
the first course or in the second semester o f a year’s course; (2)
when the work of a course is complete; that is, when the work
done in the course is satisfactory with the exception of a small,
definite part of i t ; for example, the writing o f a theme, the read
ing o f an assignment, or the taking o f a final examination. The
mark “ conditioned” shall not be given to a student whose work
in a course has been below the passing grade. Such a student
shall be reported “ E ” (failed).
When the reports o f grades are filed at the Dean’s office, the
exact character of the conditions imposed will be defined, and
the nature o f the work required to remove conditions reported
in writing. The student will then be notified by the Dean of the
terms o f the conditions.
ABSENCES FROM E X A M IN ATIO N
Any student who is absent from an examination, announce
ment of which was made in advance o f the date o f the examina

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
tion, shall be given an examination at another than the scheduled
hour only after presentation by the student to the instructor in
charge of the course (1) o f a certificate from the Committee on
Absences that the student has submitted a written statement
satisfactorily explaining the cause making the absence from ex
amination imperatively necessary, and (2) o f a receipt from the
office o f the superintendent for a fee o f $2. This fee shall be
remitted only in the case o f duly certified quarantine. In case
o f continuous illness the maximum fee shall be $5.
No examinations in absentia shall be permitted. This rule
shall be interpreted to mean that instructors shall give examina
tions only at the college and under direct departmental super
vision.
ABSEN CES PROM CLASSES
Each instructor shall make on the form provided for the pur
pose daily reports of student absences to the offices o f the Dean.
A ll powers o f supervision and discipline over student absences
are vested in a Committee on Absences to be composed o f the
Dean, the Dean of Women both ex officio, and other faculty mem
bers appointed annually by the President of the College, who
shall designate the Chairman o f the Committee from among its
members.
The absence regulations for 1925-26 are as follow s:
1. Each student shall be allowed as many absences from class
in each course per semester as there are hours in that course, i.e.,
three absences for a three hour per week course, two absences for
a two hour per week course.
2. A ny student with an average of 2.3 or above shall be allowed
double this number o f absences; this ruling is to become effective
the semester following the recording o f the grades in the Dean’s
Office.
3. The foregoing allowances must cover absences for all causes
except that one-half absence shall be counted for each hour of
absence that is due to representing the college away from home
bn athletic and debate teams.
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
61
4. A t its discretion the Absence Committee may excuse ab
sences due to prolonged illness, after the number o f such absences
exceeds two-thirds o f the allowed number.
5. For each disallowed absence on days beginning or ending
all vacations and holidays, including the summer vacation, stu
dents shall be required to make one-half-hour credit for gradu
ation in addition to the requirements as stated in the catalogue.
6. Each unexcused absence in excess o f the number allotted for
each course under the proposed system shall be penalized by the
loss o f one hour’s credit toward graduation.
7. A ll excuses for absence shall be acted upon exclusively by
the Absence Committee.

The 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

French and Spanish
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Isabelle Bronk. Mr. Charles R. Bagley is Assistant
Professor, Señorita Mercedes C. Iribas is Instructor in Spanish,
Madame Blanche Poulleau Crawford is Instructor in French,
and Mademoiselle Cécile Brochereux is Student Assistant.
The courses of study in French are designed to afford a certain
degree o f literary culture, as well as to impart thorough train
ing in the grammar and linguistics of the language. Until the
end of the second year the authors studied are all selected from
those o f modern times and the greatest attention is given to
colloquial French. The student is then ready to he brought into
contact with the more artificial (rhetorical) forms o f expression
constantly occurring in the higher grades o f literature. The fact
that French is a living tongue is kept ever in view. F or this
reason but little English is used in the classroom. Free com
position, dictation, memorizing, and conversation are required
throughout the courses. Much attention is given to pronunci
ation, practical phonetics being taught in all courses, and the
relations of modern French to classical, popular, and low Latin
are brought often before the students.
The courses in Spanish are arranged with a view to giving, as
far as possible, a practical knowledge o f this language, and also
some idea of the literature o f Spain.
From eleven to fourteen courses in French are offered each
year. The class in Course 22 is divided into four sections, the
Class in Course 23 into two, and the class in Course 35 into three.
There are also three sections o f Elementary Spanish.
Students who are prepared in Elementary French, as defined
by the College Entrance Examination Board, enter Course 22;
those who are prepared in Intermediate French enter a specially
arranged section o f this same course; those who are prepared in
Advanced French, as defined by the College Entrance Exam
ination Board, enter Course 23. Students who are prepared in
Elementary Spanish enter Course 38; those who are prepared
in Advanced Spanish enter Course 39.
72
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
Students who elect French as a major study are required to
complete the work of five full years, or thirty “ hours,” and to
take Course 34.
The first semester’s work in Elementary French and Elemen
tary Spanish will not be accepted toward a degree unless followed
by the work of the second semester in the same language.
Some of the lists o f works studied, as given below, are subject
to a slight modification.

German Language and Literature
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Clara Price Newport. She is assisted by Jean Walker
Creighton as part-time instructor.
The elementary courses of study in this department are de
signed primarily to equip the student with a working knowledge
of the German language as a key to the treasurers o f German
science, philosophy, and literature, and the more advanced courses
are intended to impart a knowledge of the development of Ger
man literature and to foster appreciation of its masterpieces.
In the classroom, translation into English is discontinued as
soon as possible and expressive reading of the German text is
substituted, and German is made the classroom language as nearly
as possible. The idiomatic sentence and modern colloquial lan
guage form the basis of the work in composition. Reading and
translation at sight are cultivated. The attainment o f a correct
literary understanding and of genuine appreciation o f some of
the best things in German literature is regarded as the highest
aim.
Other texts may at times be substituted for some o f those
indicated.
The first semester’s work in Courses 41, 42, 43, and 49 will not
be accepted toward a degree unless followed by the work of the
second semester.
Students who desire it are given an opportunity to carry on,
under direction, correspondence with students in Germany.
Facilities in Philadelphia and vicinity o f especial value to
work in the department o f German are as follows: the general
and special libraries o f Swarthmore College, University o f Penn
sylvania, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Drexel Institute, Philadelphia
Public L ibrary; Germanic collections of the museums in Memorial
Hall, Drexel Institute, University o f Pennsylvania Museum;

Political Science
Tlie instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Robert C. Brooks, assisted by Mr. William M. Blaisdell.
The primary aim of the courses offered in political science is
to prepare students for intelligent and effective citizenship.
To this end an effort is made to interpret the political life and
movements of our time in city, state, and nation. Particular
attention is given to criticisms of existing institutions and pro
posals for their reform. Governments and parties in the lead
ing foreign nations o f the world are considered not only because
of their intrinsic importance, but also for the valuable sug
gestions they may yield toward the solution of our American
problems.
Though the courses in political science are designed primarily
to produce intelligent and effective citizenship, they should also
prove more immediately helpful to those who intend to enter
politics, law, public service, journalism, business, or the teaching
o f civics. Students who expect to devote themselves to advanced
study and research in political science should be able to lay the
foundations for such work in the undergraduate courses offered
by this department.
Unsupported by collateral study in economics and history much
of the significance o f political science will be lost. Psychology,
philosophy, and anthropology are also valuable aids. A reading
knowledge of German or French should be acquired as soon as
possible by students o f political science, and both o f these are
essential for graduate study in this field. Training in English
and public speaking is highly desirable.
Changes in advanced courses to be made from year to year
will enable students to take more work in political science than
is here scheduled.

Econom ics
This department was, during 1925-1926, under the direction
o f Professor R. C. Brooks. Instruction was given by Mr. William
M. Blaisdell, Mr. Claude C. Smith, Dr. Louis N. Robinson and
certain members o f the Wharton School Faculty of the University
o f Pennsylvania, t
Good citizenship implies intelligent citizenship. The broadest
purpose of college instruction in Economics is to contribute to
the former by the cultivation o f the latter. From this point of
view the study o f Economics should appeal to all students. In
a narrower way, work in Economics should prove useful to those
who intend to devote themselves to law, business, journalism,
philanthropy, or the public service. Finally, for those who wish
to prepare for investigation or teaching in this field, college in
struction, with its closer personal relation between student and
teacher, should provide suitable preparation for graduate study
and research in larger institutions.
The courses in law are designed to give to the student an in
sight into legal reasoning and a general knowledge of the funda
mental legal relations which govern our society. It is expected
that these courses will serve as a helpful introduction to pro
fessional study for those who aim to prepare themselves for the
life of the law yer; that those students who desire to equip them
selves for active business life will be aided by an intelligent
study of principles which lie at the basis o f commercial life ; and
that in the systematic study o f the science of the law all will
acquire not merely an understanding o f legal rules, but also an
appreciation o f their justice, wisdom, and harmony.
Collateral work in Political Science, History, German, and
French is strongly recommended for all who intend to devote
much time to Economics. A knowledge of general biological
f Courses were conducted as follows:

SH OP W O R K
A ll engineering students will be required to obtain experi
ence in shop work. Such students as may so desire may do a
portion or all o f the required work outside o f the College. Such
work shall be of a nature to be approved by the faculty o f the
Engineering Division, and shall be general enough to be equiva
lent to the work required in the College shops. Those students
desiring to substitute shop work in factories shall submit their
plan to the faculty for approval prior to doing the work, and
shall obtain from a responsible official o f the company, in whose
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
109
factory they have been employed, a certificate of satisfactory
work done, in such detail as may be required by the faculty.
The amount of time devoted to shop work in the factory shall
be at least twice that required in the College shop, and a greater
amount of time may be required unless the work is well divided
among different branches o f shop practice. I f the work done
outside the College is deemed sufficiently complete to be a satis
factory substitute for a part but not for all of the College
course, then the student will be required to take only that por
tion of the work in College in which his outside experience is
considered deficient.
The work in the College shop will be conducted during the
College year and also during a period o f two weeks immediately
preceding or following the College year. The required work will
be equivalent to a period of four weeks of forty-four hours per
week.
The machine shop occupies a large portion o f the second floor
of Beardsley Hall. It is arranged so that the machine and
bench work are entirely separated. A large tool room is cen
trally located and is in charge of an assistant who supplies indi
vidual tools on a check system, as is done in commercial shops.
The machine shop contains an assortment of tools including
screw-cutting engine lathes; speed lathes, simple and backgeared; a planer; a complete universal milling machine with
milling cutters; a shaper, a twist-drill grinder, and two vertical
drill presses; a lathe-center grinder; plain and swivel vises;
lathe chucks, universal and independent; also drill chucks,
chucks for milling machine and vises for planing; surface plates;
standard gauges, and a complete equipment o f small tools.
The equipment of the machine shop includes two Hamilton
engine lathes, 16 in. by 6 f t . ; a Lodge & Shipley lathe, of similar
size; a Whitney wet tool grinder, and a 16 in. by 8 ft. Champion
engine lathe of rugged design for the demonstration o f high
speed cutting tools. The gearing on all lathes is covered by
guards or casings to prevent accidents.

building, consists of ten fires and one additional master fire.
The forges are operated on the down-draft principle, and were
designed and constructed for this shop by the Buffalo Forge
Company.
The foundry is also located on the first floor, and has a gasheated cupola or furnace for melting metals in crucibles. The
additional equipment consists o f moulding benches, flasks and
other accessory apparatus.
F ees. A fee o f ten dollars for each semester is charged for
each course in surveying, mechanical laboratory, electrical lab
oratory or illumination, and a fee o f five dollars per credit hour
for shop work, and proportionate charge for shorter periods of
required work.
The M ajor in Engineering.
Starting with the year 1926-27, the course of studies required
o f students majoring in engineering will include a certain amount
o f prescribed work and in addition a certain amount o f elective
work. The requirements for elective work may be satisfied by
more advanced studies in the different branches o f engineering
and by equivalent work along definite lines in other departments.

Mathematics and Astronom y
The instruction in this department is under the direction o f
Professor John A . Miller. Dr. Ross W . Marriott is Associate
Professor. Mr. John H. Pitman, Dr. James A . Nyswander and
Dr. Henry V. Gummere are Assistant Professors. Mr. Dean B.
McLaughlin, Miss Emma T. R. Williams and Mr. Isaac L. Battin
are Instructors. Miss Marjorie Onderdonk and Mr. Clifford E.
Smith are Research Assistants. Reverend Walter A. Matos is
Voluntary Observer and Mr. Murat Louis Johnson is Non-Resi
dent Lecturer in Mathematics o f Insurance.
Dr. Miller, Dr.
Marriott and Mr. McLaughlin were on leave of Absence from
September, 1925 to March, 1926, while on an Eclipse Expedition
to Sumatra.
The undergraduate courses for a m ajor in this department are
designed to give the student a thorough basis for graduate work
in Mathematics or Astronomy together with the perspective of
the subject essential to the successful teacher of Mathematics in
high schools and preparatory schools. Another group o f courses
is adapted to the students o f science, pure and applied, while
still other courses are offered for those interested in such phases
o f business as accounting, insurance and statistics.
The college requirement o f six hours o f Mathematics for all
candidates for graduation may be satisfied by passing three hours
o f Course 252 and Course 253, or by passing Courses 251 and
253, or by passing six hours o f Astronomy. The first o f these
three alternatives is recommended. Students majoring in Mathe
matics will take during the first year Courses 252 and 253.
Graduate courses offered in Mathematics and Astronomy are
flexible and planned to meet the need o f the individual student.
The equipment o f the Observatory is best suited to astronometrical and kindred problems. The various eclipse expeditions
from the Observatory have yielded considerable eclipse data.
A description o f the instrumental equipment for Astronomy
may be found on pages 15 and 16. The teaching staff is at
present devoting as much time as is consistent with their teach

ing duties to studies in stellar! parallax with the 24-inch tele
scope, to photography with the 9-inch doublet, and to the study
o f eclipses of the sun. Students interested in any o f these prob
lems may work with advantage in conjunction with one o f the
professors. Results of departmental studies are published in
the Sproul Observatory publications and in various scientific
journals.
The Observatory is open to visitors on the second and fourth
Tuesday nights o f 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 o f various
types.
A departmental library is located on the first floor of the
Observatory. It contains about 2,000 volumes and is suf
ficiently complete to make it a good working library. It is
reasonably supplied with standard treatises, particularly those
published in the last two decades. It contains complete sets of
nearly all the American mathematical and astronomical peri
odicals, and sets (some o f which are complete; some of which
are not) o f the leading English, German and French periodi
cals. This library receives the publications o f many o f the lead
ing observatories in exchange for the publications o f the Sproul
Observatory.

Physics
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Associate Professor Winthrop R. Wright.* Dr. Louis A. Parsons
is Acting Professor. Mr. A. H. Croup is instructor.
The department offers two courses in general physics which
are of the same general content and calibre. These courses cover
the fundamental principles of the science in their relation to the
other sciences and to general experience. The lecture and recita
tion work is supplemented by experiments for which the labora
tory is well equipped.
Advanced courses are offered in special branches of the sub
ject and such changes will be made in these courses from year
to year that a student may obtain a comprehensive, though neces
sarily elementary, view o f the domain o f modern physics. The
department aims to prepare students through these courses for
post-graduate study, for research work in industrial laboratories,
or for the teaching o f physics in secondary schools. For any
o f these advanced courses a thorough grounding in mathematics
and chemistry is essential. A n elementary knowledge o f the lan
guages is of practical value in physics and a reading knowledge
of scientific German should be obtained early.
T H E COURSES IN P H Y SIC S

Physical Education
The Physical Education of the College is under the direction of
E. LeRoy Mercer, M.D., Assistant Professor o f Physical Educa
tion. He is assisted in the courses for men by Mr. Frank Fitts
and Mr. Robert H. Dunn, and fo r women by Miss Elizabeth
Canning, Miss E. W inifred Chapman and Dr. Jeanette Sherman.
The aim o f the department o f Physical Education is to pro
mote the general physical well being o f the students, and to
assist them to gain the hygienic, corrective, and educative effect
of rightly regulated exercise.
In order that this object may be better attained, and to assist
the director in gaining a definite knowledge o f the strength and
weakness o f the individual, a careful physical examination and
medical inspection (eye, nose, and throat) is required, which
serves as a basis for the work.
A ll students must take the prescribed work in Physical Educa
tion. It is strongly recommended that, before entering College,
each student undergo a thorough visual examination and be fitted
with glasses, if there is a need for them.
The Health Laws o f the State o f Pennsylvania require suc
cessful vaccination against smallpox before a person can enter a
private, parochial or public school as a student.
F or a general statement in regard to the facilities for physical
training at Swarthmore see pp. 18-19.
REQU IREM EN TS FOB M E N
Two hours a week o f regular prescribed work are required o f
all men in the first and second year classes.
Intercollegiate contests in various athletic and aquatic sports
are conducted by the Athletic Association, but under the super
vision o f the Athletic Committee and the Director of Physical
Education, who may at any time forbid any man entering a con
test whose physical condition is not satisfactory.
