SW A R TH M O R E COLLEGE
1919-20
FO U N D ERS’ D A Y , 1919
The fiftieth anniversary of the opening o f the College was com­
memorated in the twelfth celebration o f Founders’ Day, October
25, 1919. F ifty years before, on the tenth of November, 1869,
the opening of the College had been marked by the planting of
two oak trees and by appropriate addresses in Parrish Hall. It
seemed fitting, therefore, that that interesting event should be
recalled by the College in its golden prime.
Thanks to the Friends’ Intelligencer of November 20, 1869,
which published a special supplement giving an excellent account
of the opening of the College, and to a contemporary photograph
of the ceremony of planting the oak trees, it was possible to re­
call the opening day with a fair degree of accuracy. A company
of about thirty students, selected from the four undergraduate
classes, devoted themselves with much enthusiasm to represent­
ing the appearance and words of those who participated promi­
nently on the original occasion.
Friendly costumes of the olden time were kindly loaned by
Friends ’ families in the borough, and the students who attempted
to portray Lucretia Mott, Samuel Willits, Edward Parrish,
Edward Magill, Hugh M cllvain and others of the founders, tried
to look as well as to speak their respective parts in the program.
Two of them, representing Lucretia Mott and her son, Thomas,
performed the ceremony of planting two oak trees on the East
Campus, near Somerville Hall, and near the site of the two trees
which were planted on the opening day, but which unfortunately
have disappeared with the building of Somerville Hall and the
Sharpies Swimming Pool for girls. The heart of the messages
contributed by the speakers in 1869 was then given by eight of
the students, and served to recall in an impressive way the ideals,
the labors, and the hopes o f the founders.
Two other oak trees were then planted, to commemorate the
fiftieth anniversary itself, one in the Presidential and Guber3

natorial Row, the other near by. The first of these was planted
by Susan J. Cunningham, the only surviving member o f the
original faculty; by Charles M. Biddle, the Treasurer o f the
College for many years; and by Governor William Cameron
Sproul, of the Class o f 1891, who was unavoidably delayed in
arriving, hut who came in time to complete the planting o f the
tree and to attend the further exercises of the day. The other
tree was planted by Isaac H. Clothier, the oldest member, in
point of age and service, of the Board of Managers.
These ceremonies on the East Campus were attended by the
faculty, undergraduates o f the four classes, about one hundred
and twenty-five prospective members of future classes' down to
1939, and a large company o f alumni and other friends of the
College. The academic procession then moved to Parrish Hall,
which was filled to overflowing, the men students standing in solid
masses along the walls and in thè gallery.
Robert M. Janney, President o f the Board of Managers, pre­
sided over the exercises in Parrish Hall, which included the sing­
ing of the class songs, the national anthem, and “ Alma Mater,”
and the delivery of an address by Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, Super­
intendent of Public Instruction in the State of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Finegan’s address outlined and illustrated in vigorous and
vivid fashion the ideals of the founders of the Quaker Common­
wealth and the Quaker College o f Pennsylvania.
These exercises were followed by à football game with the team
representing Johns Hopkins University, and a tea in the Library
given in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Finegan and attended by a hun­
dred or more teachers in neighboring schools. In the evening,
Professor Paul M. Pearson delivered in Parrish Hall an instruc­
tive and stimulating lecture-recital, entitled “ W ho is Great?”
The various events o f the day were photographed by news­
paper and professional cameras, and a moving-picture establish­
ment requested and received permission to take a series o f views
for the benefit o f its many moving-picture patrons throughout
the country. The Swarthmore Phoenix, also, with characteristic
energy and efficiency, published a detailed account of the vari­
ous features of the day’s celebration. Hence it is hoped that
1919, in grateful appreciation o f the message of 1869 which was
transmitted across the half century by pen and picture, has pro-

vided as well as it could for passing its message on to 1969.
Nearly a score of those present also at the opening ceremonies
in 1869 attended the semi-centennial celebration in 1919, and
signed their names in a hook provided for the purpose; and it is
probable that many of those present on the latter occasion will
attend the centennial celebration a half century hence, thus serv­
ing as living links in the golden chain that hinds the successive
generations of Swarthmoreans together.

THE JUBILEE M ILLION D O LLAB ENDOWMENT FUND

I
GENERAL PURPOSE

The period from March 1st to June 7, 1920, has been set aside
for the continuance and completion of the Swarthmore Jubilee
Endowment Fund Campaign which was interrupted by the War.
The total of the subscription at the time the work was suspended
amounted to $525,000 for endowment purposes, and $100,000 for
building purposes. This is still insufficient to procure the con­
ditional gift from the General Education. Board.
Since a dollar purchases now not more than 47 cents purchased
ten years ago, it is absolutely necessary in order to maintain
Swarthmore on its pre-war basis, that at least $500,000 be yet
secured for our Jubilee Endowment Fund. - An extension of time,
owing to the interruption of the War, has been procured from
the General Education Board.
The College has already substantially raised the price of tuition
and board to students, and income from this source cannot be
sufficiently increased to meet the emergency without the danger
of excluding a class of students needing the benefits and essential
to the best interests of the College.
The following reasons for the appeal are to be emphasized:
1. Increased requirements for the ordinary annual budget
owing to the decrease in the value of the dollar and to the
- corresponding increase in prices of all food supplies and
necessities in operating the College.
2. The absolute necessity for increasing the salaries of the
teaching staff.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

3.
The importance of Swarthmore’s future to the general
community and the necessity of our maintaining our position
among institutions of the first class.
A particular appeal should be made on this‘ ground to
substantiate the reason for the existence of the College. It
should impress not only Swarthmore’s present friends but
all responsible persons who appreciate the importance of
perpetuating the traditions underlying the foundation o f the
colony o f Pennsylvania.
A n endeavor must be made to have the persons who have
promised annual subscriptions for a three-year period to extend
these f o i additional years, and also to increase the amounts
where possible, and to procure many new subscriptions from
persons who have not already responded.

II
FORM OF ORGANIZATION FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE CAMPAIGN

The scores by classes of subscriptions by the Alumni will be
carefully maintained and published.
In order that a personal approach may be made ‘to all possible
contributors, and in view of the necessity of extending the appeal
beyond the alumni body, the committee for the completion of the
campaign will be organized geographically. The former com­
mittees o f the Board o f Managers and Alumni have been merged
into a single Campaign Committee which has been appointed
jointly by the Board of Managers and by the Executive Com­
mittee of the Alumni Association.
There will be the following i
(1) T he E ndowment Committee, consisting of representative
Alumni and friends of the College, divided into geographical
districts.
The members of this committee will meet simultaneously at
weekly luncheons on a specified day each week during the months
of March, April and May, 1920, in Philadelphia, New York,
Baltimore, Atlantic City, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Birmingham,
Alabama, and London, where they will learn the latest returns
from other divisions, and will telegraph at that time to the head­
quarters of the committee the results of their own week’s work.

Names and addresses of possible subscribers within a district will
be furnished to each district chairman, and will be apportioned
among the members o f the committee for that district.
(2) T he E xecutive Committee, composed of the officers of
the Endowment Committee and the chairmen of the Geographical
divisions.
The duties of the Executive Committee will be to direct the
general policy of the work, to have charge of the publicity and
administrative work of the campaign, and to approach persons
most likely to make large contributions.
(3) T he A dvisory Committee, composed o f friends of the
College of long standing who, although furnishing advice, may
not be able to work actively in the campaign.

Ill
PUBLICITY

In addition to newspaper publicity, personal interviews, tele­
phone, conversations and letters, a series of bulletins will be issued,
possibly in connection with the Phoenix, but to be circulated over
a large mailing list, which will treat among other subjects, the
following:
(1) A general bulletin on the requirements and purpose of
the campaign.
(2) A bulletin of guidance as to the amount expected from
each contributor, based upon incomes, property, or length of
time since graduation.
(3) A bulletin graphically illustrating increases of costs and
a comparison of professors’ incomes with incomes of laborers and
other classes o f workers.
(4) A bulletin showing the deductions from taxable incomes
made possible by gifts to Swarthmore under the Hollis amend­
ment.
(5) A bulletin showing the amount which each Alumnus has
received from the College as determined by the difference be­
tween the tuition fee which he paid and the actual cost of his edu­
cation, with compound interest to date.
In addition to these methods, graphic placards and charts will

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

be prepared and displayed at athletic games and gatherings of
Alumni.
There will also be prepared a separate booklet of instruc­
tions to be issued to canvassers for the fund.
Swarthmore’s critical needs must be sounded during the
months o f the campaign before all meetings where her friends
come together, no matter what the occasion. She not only has
the right to be heard, but her real friends are anxious to learn
the exact condition o f her affairs. They will hold us responsible
if the standard of the College falls because of any failure on our
part to bring the need to their attention.
To accomplish this, a bureau of speakers will be maintained
which will supply speakers for different meetings held while the
campaign is under way.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE

LOCATION AND FOUNDATION
The Borough of Swarthmore is situated southwest of Phila­
delphia on the Central Division of the Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and "Washington Railroad. It is eleven miles from Broad Street
Station, with which it is connected by eighteen inbound and
twenty-two outbound trains daily, the running time of which
varies from nineteen minutes on express schedule to thirty-six
minutes On the local schedule. Three trolley lines, running cars
at twenty- and thirty-minute intervals, also connect with Phila­
delphia elevated and surface lines.
The college buildings and campus occupy a commanding posi­
tion upon a hill not far from the center of the town. The view
includes several miles o f the Delaware River, the nearest point
of which is about four miles distant. The college property com­
prises over two hundred acres of ground, including a large tract
of woodland and the beautiful rocky valley of Crum Creek.
The College was founded in 1864 through the efforts of 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
of those of their own religious faith. Other applicants are ad­
mitted upon the same terms as Friends, and nothing of a sec­
tarian character exists in the instruction or in the management
of the College. According to its first charter, membership on the
Board o f Managers of 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 of such control by any sectarian element which
might otherwise have come to be represented on the Board. This
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 promotion1o f Christian character the first considera19

tion, and to provide opportunities for liberal culture while main­
taining a high standard of scholarship. These aims have been
faithfully observed in the administration of the institution.

BUILDINGS
Parish Hall is a massive stone structure, with its central por­
tion separated from the two wings by fireproof compartments.
The central building, three hundred and forty-eight feet long
and five stories high, furnishes assembly room, lecture rooms,
museum, parlors, dining hall, and offices. The wings are four
stories high. The ground floor of each wing is used for lecture
and recitation rooms; the remaining floors contain the dormi­
tories of the women students. The Dean of Women and several
instructors and matrons reside in the building.
Wharton Hall, the dormitory for young men, named in honor
of its donor, Joseph Wharton,, late President of the Board of
Managers, was opened for occupancy at the beginning of the
college year 1904-05. The third section,of the building was
completed in 1916. The total 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 fine view of the Delaware River
valley.
The Hall of Physics and Engineering is a two-story stone
building devoted to the departments of Physics and Engineer­
ing. It contains lecture and recitation rooms, electrical, phys­
ical and engineering laboratories, draughting rooms, engine and
boiler rooms. A ll departments are well equipped, and new ap­
paratus and machinery are added as occasion demands.
The Hall o f Chemistry, which was completed in 1904, is a red
brick biiilding two stories high, and contains a finished basement.
The basement has an assay laboratory furnished with wind and
muffle furnaces, a fireproof combustion room, a laboratory for
gas analysis, a photometric dark room, large stock room, and
cloak and toilet rooms. On the first floor are offices, and labora­
tories for quantitative 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

BUILDINGS

21

qualitative analysis, the laboratory for physical chemistry, the
laboratory for electrolytic 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
splendidly equipped with all the necessary modern apparatus.
The chemical library contains a well-selected list of scientific and
technical books pertaining to chemistry, and complete sets of
five of the leading chemical journals. Through the generosity
of Mrs. Peter T. Berdan, the library has received a complete
set of the publications o f the London Chemical Society, and a
set o f the Journal of the London Society of Chemical Industry,
presented by Mrs. Berdan as a memorial to her son, Frederick
T. Berdan, a member of the Class of 1890.
The Sproul Astronomical Observatory, equipped by Governor
William Cameron Sproul, ’91, stands on the site formerly occu­
pied by the President’s house, and contains nine rooms. On the
first floor are an office, a departmental library, a computation
room, two class rooms, and a shop room. On the second floor
are a modern lecture room seating seventy-five persons, a dark
room, and the dome room. The dome is a steel structure covered
with copper, forty-five feet in diameter. It is revolved by an
electric motor. Practically all the classes of the department of
Mathematics and Astronomy, and some classes o f other depart­
ments, are held in the Observatory.
The chief instrument of the equipment is an equatorial re­
fractor of twenty-four inches aperture, and thirty-six feet focal
length, the mounting and optical parts of which were made by
the John A. Brashear Co., Ltd. The mounting is modern and
convenient, motors being provided for winding the clock and
moving the telescope. The driving clock is electrically controlled.
A disc driven by a sidereal clock situated on the north side of the
pier reads right ascensions directly. The telescope is provided
with the usual oculars, helioscope, position micrometer, double­
slide plateholder, and three 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,

22

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

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 recently given to the observatory a Polar
Equatorial, a new type of telescope, designed and built by the
Alvan Clark and Sons’ Corporation. W ith this type of tele­
scope 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 of Parrish Hall, is especially
equipped for the purposes of instruction. It contains a refract­
ing telescope of six inches aperture, mounted equatorially, fitted
with the usual accessories, including a position micrometer and
a very good spectroscope. The observatory also contains a tran­
sit instrument of three inches aperture, a mean time and a side­
real clock and a chronograph. Mounted in a room adjoining
the transit room is a Milne seismograph, presented by Joseph
Wharton, which records photographically all vibrations of the
crust of the earth. The latest addition to this observatory build­
ing contains 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 o f the
English Scholastic Gothic style. The Library was built and
furnished from the $50,000 generously presented to the College
by Mr. Andrew Carnegie and is maintained from the income on
a like sum subscribed by several friends of the College. The
building is constructed o f local granite, with terra cotta and
Indiana limestone trimmings and was erected under the super­
vision o f Mr. Edward L. Tilton, of New York. In the second
story o f the massive entrance tower, is a large fireproof apart­
ment, which contains the Friends’ Historical Library; in the
third story, are placed the Westminster chimes of four bells and
the Seth Thomas Clock presented to the College in June, 1910,
by Mr. Morris L. Clothier in commemoration of the twentieth
anniversary o f the graduation o f the class of 1890. The first
floor o f the main building contains a stack room and a large,
well-lighted reading room finished in dark oak. The reading

BUILDINGS

23

room is two stories high, with a gallery round three sides. On
this gallery open the seminar rooms and the tower room devoted
to the Friends’ Historical Library; below are alcoves contain­
ing reference hooks and other hooks in common use.
Beardsley Hall. This building is of concrete block construc­
tion with reinforced concrete floors, columns, and stairs. It is
three stories high. In architectural design it is simple and ef­
fective, representing the latest and best type of factory building
construction.
The President’s Souse. The property on the east edge of the
campus on the corner of Elm Avenue and Cedar Lane, recently
owned by W . H. Miller, has been purchased by the College and
is'used for the President’s house.
The Wm. J. Hall Gymnasium for men is a two-story stone
building. On the first floor are offices, examining room, and the
main exercise hall, a room fifty by eighty feet, equipped with
apparatus for individual and class work and a good court for
basketball. A trophy room and running track are on the second
floor. In the basement are lockers, shower baths, a dressing room
for visiting teams, and handball courts.
Somerville Hall, erected in 1893 through the efforts of the
Somerville Literary Society, is used as a gymnasium for the
women. It is furnished with apparatus adapted to the Swedish
system of gymnastics. In the basement are dressing rooms,
showers, and lockers for the use of day students who take work
in the department of Physical Education.
Two Swimming Pools, one for the women and another for the
men, were erected during the summer o f 1912. These pools
were presented to the College by Philip M. Sharpies. The build­
ing 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 Seating and Lighting Plant. A central heat, light, and
power plant was erected in 1911 at a cost of about one hundred
thousand dollars. The power house is a single-story brick struc­
ture, located south of the P. B. & W . R. R. tracks.^
Other buildings upon the campus are the Meeting-house, the
Benjamin W est Souse (birthplace of Benjamin West, P. R. A.,
erected in 1724), Cunningham Souse (the residence» o f the

24

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

Professor of Astronomy and Mathematics), six residences
for members o f the Faculty, a laundry building, a lodging
house for the domestic servants, and the necessary farm build­
ings.
Swarthmore Field and Alumni Field provide excellent facil­
ities for outdoor athletics of the men. Swarthmore Field com­
prises the football, lacrosse, and soccer grounds, and a good
quarter-mile cinder track with a two hundred and twenty yards
straight-away. Alumni Feld is contiguous with Swarthmore
Field and provides an excellent baseball ground. The men’s
tennis courts are being constructed in front of Wharton Hall.
Cunningham Field, the women’s athletic ground, includes a
part o f the east campus beyond Somerville Hall. This field, en­
closed by a hedge of California privet, is divided into the three
terraces which make ample provision for basketball, tennis, and
English field hockey. This field was given by students, alumnas,
and friends of the College as a tribute to Susan J. Cunningham,
who has for many years been closely identified with the interests
of the women students of Swarthmore.
SOCIAL L IF E
Swarthmore, as a coeducational institution, undertakes to pro­
vide college life in a home setting; to supply an atmosphere in
which manly and womanly character may develop naturally and
completely. The intercourse of the students is under the care
of the Dean of Women and her assistants, who aim to make it a
means of social culture.
RELIGIOUS L IF E
The daily sessions of the College include a gathering of
students and instructors for the reading of the Bible, or for
some other suitable exercise, preceded and followed by a period
o f silence. Students under twenty-one years of age are expected
to attend either Friends ’ Meeting, held every First-day morning
in the Meeting House, or, at the request of their parents, the
church in the borough o f the religious denomination to which
they belong. A class to which all students are invited is held
at 9.00 on First-day mornings for the consideration o f religious

stu dents’

s o c ie t ie s

25

subjects. Preceding the meeting there are also classes in the
First-day School to which students are invited. By these means,
and particularly by individual influence, and by the constant
effort to maintain in the institution a spirit in harmony with
the purpose o f its founders, it is believed that a proper care is
exercised to mould the characters of the students in conformity
with Christian standards.
STU DEN TS’ SOCIETIES
Two literary societies are maintained by the students: the
Athenceum by the men, the Somerville by the women. Each so­
ciety has, under the management of its own members, but acces­
sible to all students, a library and a reading room containing
periodicals and daily papers. The total number of books in these
libraries is over four thousand.
The Cercle français holds frequent meetings and is open to
all students in the French Department after the middle of their
first year. Its object is to afford increased opportunities for
acquiring a practical knowledge of the French language.
The Deutscher Verein holds occasional sessions for the purpose
of affording its members a greater ease and facility in expressing
themselves in idiomatic German. Students are thus brought into
more positive acquaintance with German customs, amusements,
music, and literature.
The Mathematical and Astronomical Club is an association of
students in Mathematics and allied subjects, and o f instructors
in Mathematics. It meets on the first and third Tuesdays of
each month to discuss subjects not pertinent to the class room.
The Classical Club meets once a month during the college year.
Addresses and papers are given on subjects which emphasize the
broader aspect of classical culture and civilization.
The English Club, open to all students, meets twice a month
to hold discussions and to listen to papers and addresses upon
topics, of literary and dramatic interest.
The Engineers Club has for its purpose the reviewing of re­
cent discoveries and achievements in engineering, discussing
questions not raised in the class room, giving power in the
presentation of topics, promoting intimacy between faculty and

26

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

students, and providing guidance in the engineering vocations.
Meetings are held once in each month in the Beardsley Hall
Library. Students majoring in engineering are eligible for
membership.
The Athletic Association is an organization of the men for the
encouragement o f physical training and athletic sports.
The W om en’s Athletic Association is a similar organization of
the women students.
Christian Associations. The religious life among the students
is furthered by the Young M en’s and Young W omen’s Christian
Associations. Formal and informal receptions and other social
functions are given with the especial object o f promoting closer
fellowship and a truly democratic spirit. Public meetings for
worship are held every Sunday evening, the young men meet­
ing in Wharton Hall and the young women in Parrish Hall.
No student organization of the College may incur any financial
obligation, or make any contract involving a monetary considera­
tion, without first obtaining the sanction o f the President of the
College, or of the proper faculty committee under whose super­
vision the organization is placed. Students contemplating a new
organization must first consult the President of the College. If
he desires to grant them permission to effect such an organiza­
tion, he will advise the student representatives of the particular
faculty committee under whose supervision the organization is
placed.
COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS
Two periodicals are published by the students under the super­
vision of the faculty: The Phoenix, a weekly publication, is de­
voted to undergraduate journalism; the Halcyon is published
annually by the Junior Class.
The Swarthmore College Bulletin is published every three
months and contains a record of the matters of permanent im­
portance in the progress o f the College.
L IB R A R IE S AND READ IN G ROOMS
The libraries o f the College collectively contain about forty
thousand volumes.
The chief sources of income for increasing the collection in

THE MUSEUM OF BIOLOGY AND GEOLOGY

27

the college library are these: the Edgar Allen Brown Fund,
established by his family in memory of Edgar Allen Brown, of
the Class of 1890; the Alumni F u n d; and the General Library
Fund.
The library is open daily except Sunday, as follow s: Monday
to Friday, inclusive, 8.00 a . m . to 6.00 p. m . and 7.15 to 10.00
p. m . ; Saturday, 8.00 a . m . to 5.00 p . m ., and 7.15 to 10.00 p . m .
Residents of the borough of Swarthmore are cordially invited
to use the library.
The Friends’ Historical Library, founded by the late Anson
Lapham, of Skaneateles, N. Y., contains a valuable and growing
collection of Friends’ books, tracts, and early writings (many
very rare), photographs of representative Friends, other objects
of personal and historic interest, and manuscripts relating to the
Society and its history. This collection is stored in rooms prac­
tically fireproof, and it is hoped that Friends and others will
deem it a secure place in which to deposit books and other ma­
terial 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’ Historical Library,
Swarthmore, Pa. The library is accessible to all persons inter­
ested in the doctrines and history of Friends, and ample arrange­
ments are provided for its use for consultation and for reference.
Moreover, the great collections of books in the Library o f the
University of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Library and its
Ridgway Branch, the Mercantile Library, the Free Library of
Philadelphia, as well as those in the special and technical
libraries of the city, are open to the use of students under proper
regulations. The Philadelphia library resources, which are of
especial utility in connection with the various departments of
the College, are referred to in the departmental statements.
The Library and the departmental reading rooms are supplied
with reference books and the leading literary, scientific, and
technical journals.
TH E MUSEUM OF BIOLOGY AND GEOLOGY
The Museum contains a collection for educational purposes
only, and the specimens from its cases are in constant use in the
lecture room and laboratory. It is steadily becoming a more per-

contingent fee of $50 a year, payable in advance by every student,
has been added to partly meet increased cost of wages, coal, and
the labor and materials for the up-keep of the physical prop­
erty. This contingent fee is not applied to any increase in the
cost of tuition or food. Students holding scholarships given
for financial need are exempt from the payment of this con­
tingent fee. No reduction of the charge of $250 can be made
on account o f absence, illness, dismissal during the year, or for
any other reason whatever, and no refunding will be made on
account o f any said causes in case of a payment in advance.

the right to change their classification or to decline to continue
their connection with the College if they find them to be in­
sufficiently prepared. The privilege o f sending students on cer­
tificate may be withdrawn from any school whose pupils are
found to be deficient. Principals of other schools who wish to

respond with the Dean on the subject.
Certificates issued by the College Entrance Examination
Board will be accepted in place of examinations on the subjects
therein certified to as passed. See page 39 for information as

Graduation from an acceptable four years’ high school course
or its equivalent is required for admission to the Freshman class
on certificate. An applicant may offer substitutes for some of
the optional subjects listed below, but in such cases the student
is required to substitute for college electives such work as had
been omitted in preparatory school. Thus there would be no
increase in the number o f credit hours required for graduation,
but, fewer electives could be included in the four-year college
course.
ENTRANCE REQUIREM ENTS
It is to be carefully noted that the subjects included among
the entrance requirements are rated as strictly as possible ac­
cording to the time that should have been devoted to prepara­
tory work in each.
In regard to a unit of 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 of measure-

42

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

ment for the work done in secondary schools. It takes the
four-year 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 stand­
ard a satisfactory year’s work in any subject cannot he accom­
plished 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 of this unit.
The total number o f units required on this basis for admission
to Swarthmore College is fourteen and a half.
AURAL AND ORAL TESTS IN FOREIGN MODERN LANGUAGES

In accordance with a resolution adopted in 1908 by the Modem
Language Association of America and a similar one adopted in
1914 by the Association of M odem Language Teachers of 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 of requirements for
admission.

lifted under the general statement on page 42, including lists of
experiments in the natural sciences, are given in a special cir­
cular of information published annually by the College Entrance
Examination Board. The edition published July 1, 1919, was
designated as Document No. 93. Copies of this document may
be obtained from the Secretary of the Board, 431 West 117th

REQUIREM ENTS F O R GRADUATION
THE GENERAL UNDERGRADUATE COURSE OF STUDY

The degree of 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 aré prescribed for all matriculates.
In addition to securing this fundamental uniformity, it provides
for the varied needs and capacities of individuals by permitting
a wide range of election on the part of 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 £tudy.
The requirement of a thesis from a candidate for the Bachelor’s
degree is left to the option o f the head of 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 of hours required for graduation in the Departments
o f Engineering and in the Department o f Chemistry, see the
courses of study outlined under the various departments. The
foregoing are minimum requirements. Students may he re­
quired to complete additional “ hours” f o r graduation as penal­
ties for 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 of 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 of hours for students majoring in
the Departments of Liberal Arts is seventeen for each semester
•

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

of 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.— An average quality grade shall be required
for graduation, and for the purpose of 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 of 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 o f all students, both those in arts and in ap­
plied science, is one hundred and twenty-four. This is a re­
quirement for Arts students of an average grade of C. In other
words, Arts students are required for graduation to present one
hundred and twenty-four hours o f credit and one hundred and
twenty-four “ points.” • Students in applied science will be re­
quired for graduation to present the number of hours of credit
now prescribed (ranging from one hundred and thirty-two to
one hundred and fifty-one) and one hundred and twenty-four
“ points.”
Extra or Less H oars— Students are not allowed to carry
more nor less than the prescribed amount of work except in
special cases approved by the Committee on Prescribed and E x­
tra Work. Students often find it difficult, however, to make out
a course of study for the exact number of hours, and for this
reason a variation of one hour more or less than the prescribed
number o f 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
low C in any subject or below- B in more than one department
during the preceding semester shall be permitted to enroll for

46

SWAKTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

more than one hour in excess of the prescribed number. For
students entering from Other schools or colleges these grades shall
he determined from their entrance certificates. No application
of a student to enroll for more or less than the prescribed num­
ber of hours shall be considered by the committee unless accom­
panied by the written endorsement of the course adviser.
I.
Prescribed Studies.— These studies must be 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 of the first
year is devoted to five of the prescribed studies with one
elective.
The time and order in which the- remaining studies are
taken may vary according to the requirements, of each depart­
ment. The prescribed work, amounting to forty-three hours,
exclusive of 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 of these languages, or six hours in each of
two.
Group 3. Nine hours, three of which must be taken in Bible
Study, and six in one of the following departments: History,
History of Religion and Philosophy, Economics, Political Sci­
ence, Psychology and Education.
Group 4. Biology, Chemistry, Physics.— Six hours, to be taken
in any one of 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.— For the prescribed amount of
work in this department, see the statements under the Depart­
ment o f Physical Education.
Students who fail in the required courses of the freshman
year should enroll in these courses during the sophomore year.
No deviation from this rule w ill'be allowed except on the writ­
ten endorsement of the course adviser, and after notification to

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

47

the professor in charge of the subject in which the student
failed.
All 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 of the senior year, nor in any case after the beginning
of the second semester of 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.
II. Major Subject.— Every candidate for graduation is re­
quired to select the work of some one department as his major.
In most cases the selection may well be postponed until the be­
ginning of the second .year. In the department thus chosen the
student must complete eighteen hours as a minimum (the pre­
scribed work done in the m ajor study to be included in this
minimum), and the professor in charge may, at his option, de­
termine the work of thirty-six hours, provided six hours shall
not be in his own department. I f the major study is one of 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 of Swarthmore College
at least one year and who has not had in the 'College at least
one year’s work in his major.
I f the major study is changed from any branch of Engineer­
ing to a department in Arts, the number of credit hours then
on record will be adjusted to the basis of 124 hours.
III. Elective Studies.— The remaining work required for grad­
uation may be elected from any department or departments of
the College.

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
charge o f the m ajor subject will serve as course adviser for
each student who has chosen a major subject. The President
will designate the course adviser for students who have not
chosen their major subjects.
E X T R A W O R K DONE OUTSIDE OF CLASSES
No student will be granted credit for work in excess of that
regularly listed on the Enrollment Card unless permission to do
so is granted by the Committee on Prescribed and Extra Work
at the written request o f the course adviser. A ll students ex­
cept those desiring credit for intercollegiate debating must gain
permission o f the Committee on Prescribed and Extra Work
before the work is entered upon.
SUMMER SCHOOL W ORK
Students desiring to transfer credit in a prescribed subject
from a University Summer School are required to secure the
endorsement of the head o f the department concerned before
entering upon the work.
REM O VAL OF CONDITIONS
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 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 of 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 is not repeated until said second semester, and (2) it is
considered necessary by the professor that the student should

EXEMPTION FROM EXAMINATIONS

53

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 of an “ E ,” i. e., complete failure,
which cannot he made up.
SYSTEM OF GRADES
Reports of students’ work are received at the Dean’s office
four times a year; at the end of each semester and at each mid­
semester. A ll grades are mailed to parents at the end of each
semester, and are also given out to students at each mid-semester
and the end of the first semester.
The following system of marking is used by instructors: A
(excellent, 100-90 per ce n t.); B (good, 89-80 per cen t.); C
(fair, 79-70 per ce n t.); D (poor, 69-60 per ce n t.); E (fa ile d );.
W (w ithdraw n); Cond. (Conditioned).
The mark “ conditioned” shall he reported for only two rea­
sons: (1) for unsatisfactory work in a semester course in which
the condition may he- removed by doing satisfactory work either
in another semester course which involves the subject-matter of
the first course or in the second semester of a year’s course; (2)
when the work of a course is incomplete; 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 of a theme, the read­
ing of 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 of grades are filed at the Dean’s office, the
exact character of the conditions imposed will be defined, and
the nature of the work required to remove conditions reported
in writing. The students will then be notified by the Dean of the
terms of the conditions.
E X E M PTIO N FROM EXAM IN ATIO N S
No underclassmen shall be exempted from semester final ex­
aminations; seniors with grades of A or B at the beginning of
final examinations shall be exempt in the final examinations of
the second semester.

54

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

ABSEN CES FROM E X A M IN ATIO N
A ny student who is absent from an examination, announce­
ment of which was made in advance of the date o f the examina­
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) of 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) of a receipt from the
office o f the superintendent for a fee of $2. This fee shall be
remitted only in the case of duly certified quarantine. In ease
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 FROM CLASSES
Each instructor shall make on the form provided for the pur­
pose daily reports of student absences to the office of the Dean.
A ll powers of supervision and discipline over student absences
are vested in a Committee on Absences to he composed of the
Dean, The Dean of Women, both ex officio, and three other fac­
ulty members appointed annually by the President of the Col­
lege, who shall designate the Chairman of the Committee from
among its members.
In dealing with all student absences the Committee on Ab­
sences shall classify them either (a) as allowable absences, or (b)
as disallowed absences. Allowable absences are absences which
in the opinion of the Committee on Absences are incurred for
sufficient cause. B y sufficient cause is meant any grounds for
absence Which would justify failure to keep a stated business
appointment; provided, however, that no absence shall be con­
sidered allowable by the Committee on Absences unless a writ­
ten explanation of it is made by the student incurring it on a
form provided for this purpose at the Dean’s office. Such ex­
planation must he made by the student in advance o f the absence,
when possible. Written explanations of all absences must be

ABSENCES FROM CLASSES

55

filed at the Dean’s office within three college days after the
absence, or such absences will be disallowed automatically.
All absences not conning under the definition of allowable ab­
sences shall be considered disallowed absences subject to dis­
cipline. In the exercise o f their powers of discipline over absences
of the latter character the Committee on Absences may warn
students, parents, or guardians ; may place students on probation
and fix the terms o f said probation; and may require students
to make hours of credit for graduation in addition to the require­
ments as stated in the Catalogue ; provided that, in the case of
students who reach the end of the first semester o f their senior
year with a penalty of less than one full hour of credit imposed
under this section, said penalty may be removed by the Com­
mittee on Absences. For the year 1919-20 students will be
penalized one-half credit hour for each disallowed absence after
the fifth.
For each disallowed absence on days beginning or ending all
vacations and holidays, including the summer vacation, students
shall be required to make one half hour of credit for graduation
in addition to the requirements as stated in the Catalogue. A b­
sences penalized under this section shall not be subject to dis­
cipline provided under other sections of these rules.
Students shall have the right to a hearing before the Commit­
tee on Absences in cases involving the imposition of credit penal­
ties by the Committee, and the right to petition the Faculty in
cases where, after such hearing has been given, they are dissatis­
fied with the decision of the Committee. In all questions involv­
ing the number of a student’s absences the reports of Instructors
shall be considered authoritative.

Public Speaking
The instruction in Public Speaking, given by Assistant Pro­
fessor Philip M. Hicks, is designed to develop and train the voice
as an efficient instrument of self-expression and literary inter­
pretation, and to give training in the principles and practice of
effective public speaking.
In the belief that frequent practice in speaking is the requisite
for the best results, the work is arranged mainly in one hour
courses to meet the needs o f students who may desire to continue
this practice throughout their college term.
The classes meet in small sections in order that each student
may receive the personal criticism o f the instructor.

DEBATE

Students enrolling for Intercollegiate Debate may receive from
one to three hours’ credit at the discretion of the instructor, de­
pending upon the quality of the work done. Candidates for the
debate squad must complete all required reading and attend
weekly practice during the debating season.
The debates are held under the supervision of the Debate
Board, an undergraduate body including all students who have
represented the college in forensic contests, and the coach of the
debate teams. Teams are chosen to defend both sides of the
question, which is selected soon after the opening of college.
Public Speaking Contests and Prizes
The Swarthmore Chapter of Delta Sigma Rho, the national
honorary forensic society, elects to membership each spring stu­
dents who have done distinguished work in debate and other pub­
lic speaking contests. To be eligible students must have engaged
in forensic activities for two years and must have represented
the college in an intercollegiate contest.

The public speaking contests, which are conducted by the De­
bate Board, are designed to bring out the ability of the students
and to stimulate interest in forensic events.
The Oratorical Contest, open to all students, is held in Janu­
ary to select Swarthmore’s representative for the annual meeting
of the Pennsylvania Oratorical Union, in which contest Lafayette,
Lehigh, Ursinus, Muhlenberg, and Franklin and Marshall colleges
are competitors.
The Delta TJpsilon Prize o f $25 is also awarded to the winner
of the local contest. The sum of $500 has been given to the
College by Owen Moon, Jr., Class of 1894, the interest from
which is to be used for this purpose.
The Ella Frances Bunting Prizes for the Extemporaneous
Speaking Contests are provided by a gift of $1,000 from E. M.
Bunting, o f New York. Two prizes of $25 are offered, one con­
tested for by the men and one by the women students.
The Phi Kappa Psi Prizes in oratory, offered by the local
chapter o f that fraternity, are open to competition among pre­
paratory schools. The Gontest is held at the College annually on
the first Saturday in May.
The Potter Prize Contest for Extemporaneous Debate is open
to all students and prizes of $12, $8 and $5 are offered for the
best individual speeches. This contest was founded by the late
Justice Wm. P. Potter, and is continued as a memorial to him
by his family.
French and Spanish
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Isabelle Bronk. Dr. Lander MacClintock is Assistant
Professor, Mercedes C. Iribas is Assistant, and Marcelle H.
Achard and Geneviève M. E. L. Tarby are Student Assistants.
The courees of study in French are designed to afford a high
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 be brought
into contact with the more artificial (rhetorical) forms o f ex-

pression constantly occurring in the higher grades of 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
composition, dictation, memorizing, and. conversation are re­
quired throughout the courses. Much attention is given to pro­
nunciation, and the relations o f modern French to classical,
popular, and low Latin are brought often before the students.
The course in Spanish is arranged with a view to giving, as
far as possible, a practical knowledge o f this language, and also
some idea of the modem literature of Spain.
From eleven to fourteen courses in French are given each year.
The class in Course 21 is divided into three sections, the class
in Course 22 into four.
Students who are prepared in Elementary French (see page
64) enter Course 22; those who are prepared in Advanced
French (see page 65) enter Courses 23 and 24.
Students who elect French as a m ajor study are required to
complete the work o f five full years, or thirty “ hours,” and to
take Course 30.
The first semester’s work in Elementary French and Elemen­
tary Spanish will not be accepted toward a degree unless followed
by the work o f the secbnd semester in the same language.
Some of the lists of works studied, as given below, are subject
to a slight modification.

The French Library is supplied with the treatises and books

demic year.

German Language and Literature
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Clara Price Newport. Edna Harriet Richards is In­
structor.
The elementary courses of study, in this department are de­
signed primarily to equip the student with a working knowl­
edge of the German language as a key to the treasures of Ger­
man science, philosophy, and literature, and the more advanced
courses are intended to impart a knowledge of the development
of German literature and to foster appreciation of its master­
pieces.
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
early as possible. The idiomatic sentence and modern colloquial
language form the basis of the work in composition. Reading
and translation at sight are cultivated. The attainment of a
correct literary understanding and of genuine appreciation of
some of the best things in German literature is regarded as the
highest aim.
Other texts may at times be substituted for some of those
indicated.
The first semester’s work in Courses 41, 42, 4 2 ^ , 43, and 49
will not be accepted toward a degree unless followed by the work
of the second semester.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

Political Science
T he, instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Robert C. Brooks.
The primary aim o f the courses offered in political sci­
ence is to prepare students for intelligent and effective citizen­
ship.
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
o f their intrinsic importance, but also for the valuable sug­
gestions they may yield for the solution o f 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 of political science will be lost. Psychology,
philosophy, and anthropology are also valuable aids. A reading
knowledge o f German or French should be acquired as soon as
possible by students of political science, and both of these are
essential for graduate study in this field. Training in English
and public speaking are 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.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

Econom ics
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Thomas K. Urdahl. Claude Carrol Smith is Instructor,
and Isabel Briggs'M yers is Assistant.
Good citizenship implies intelligent citizenship. The broadest
purpose of college instruction in Economics is to contribute to
the former by the cultivation of the latter. From this point of
view the study of 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 iservice. 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 lawyer; that those students who desire to equip them­
selves for active business life will be aided by an intelligent
study of the principles which lie at the basis of commercial life ;
and that in the systematic study of the science of the law all will
acquire not merely an understanding of legal rules, but also an
appreciation of 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
theory, of psychology, and of philosophy would add greatly to
the value of work done in this department.
No credit will be given in courses which run throughout the
year, unless the work of the entire year is taken.
The advanced courses will be changed from year to year, thus
enabling students to take more work in the department than is
here scheduled.

visits to museums, exhibitions, etc., are frequently possible.
Especially to be noted is the Archaeological Museum of the Uni­
versity of Pennsylvania, with its remarkable collections illus­
trating the civilizations of Babylonia, Assyria, and Egypt; its
display of amulets, charms, etc., from many parts o f the world;
its Buddhist Temple, and collections of similar materials from
among the American Indians, the Esquimaux, and many other
peoples.
A Museum of Religions has been started at Swarthmore, which
has already a valuable collection of religious curios from China,
Japan, India, and elsewhere. Additions to this collection will be
welcomed.
Mention should be also made of the great libraries of Phila­
delphia, and o f the lecture courses, often by the great scholars
o f the world, at Drexel, Franklin, and Wagner Institutes, and
at the University of Pennsylvania, in addition to those offered
at Swarthmore. The most famous preachers, statesmen, and
orators are frequently to be heard in Philadelphia, and the
opportunities thus afforded are brought to the attention of
students.
Psychology and Education
The work of this department is temporarily cared for by Pro­
fessor Jesse H. Holmes, and Charles H. Fisher, Professor of
Education, State Normal School, West Chester, Pa.

A Teachers’ Appointment Committee, of which Dean Alexan­
der is the Chairman, was instituted in 1912. The duty of this
committee is to assist the graduates of the College in their effort
to secure satisfactory teaching positions. This assistance is to be
rendered not only to members of each year’s graduating class, but
also to earlier graduates who have been teaching meanwhile, and
having acquired experience, desire more responsible positions
than the ones they now have.

Art
The instruction in this subject is under the direction of the
Department of Greek and Latin. Courses are given by Professor
Meeteer and Assistant Professor Brewster.
The aim o f the courses offered is to study the historical de­
velopment of architecture, sculpture, painting, and the allied
arts, as a part of the history of Western civilization, in order to
show the share that these arts have had in the creating and fix­
ing of ideals, and in the development of craftsmanship. The
principal types and examples of these arts are studied as master­
pieces of achievement, especially for their cultural enjoyment.
The work consists of illustrated lectures and indicated reading.

B iology
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Spencer Trotter. Samuel Copeland Palmer is As­
sistant Professor.
The courses in Biology are designed to give a broad and liberal
view o f the facts of life as a part of the general system of
culture. The successful completion of the several courses as
part of the general work for the degree of A.B. is preparatory
to the study of Advanced Biology, Medicine, Forestry, or of
Agriculture. Students are thus enabled to enter the .technical
schools of the leading universities in the above-named branches.
Special work in the dissection of the human body is likewise
afforded students who are preparing for the study of Medicine.
Courses in both Physics and Chemistry are required as en­
trance by the medical schools.
The courses are arranged so as to present a logical sequence
throughout the four years of college work for students making
Biology their major subject.
Students making Biology their major will be required to take
one year each in Chemistry or Physics, and the equivalent of
two college years in a modern language.
The requirement by the foremost medical schools of the coun­
try of two years’ preparation in Biology is fulfilled by these
courses in Swarthmore College.
These courses likewise lead to the post-graduate work of the
university.
The Museum of Biology and Geology is an adjunct to the de­
partment of Biology. The Academy of Natural Sciences, Logan
Square, Philadelphia, affords valuable matter for study and
reference both in its collections and library. The museum of

the Wagner Free Institute of Science, Seventeenth Street and
Montgomery Avenue, Philadelphia, contains valuable aids to
study. The library of the University of Pennsylvania, and the
Philadelphia Library, corner Locust and Juniper Streets, are
available for consultation and research. The Wistar Institute
of Anatomy, Thirty-sixth Street and Woodland Avenue, con­
tains valuable material for study in connection with the pre­
medical courses.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Gellert Alleman. H. Jermain Creighton is Assistant
Professor of Chemistry, and Allen I. Myers is Instructor in Chem­
istry.
This department does not aim to develop specialists in any
particular branch of chemistry, but presents opportunities for
a comprehensive general training in this science.
The successful completion o f the courses in Chemistry will
enable the student to enter upon graduate work at any lead­
ing university, or will be of material assistance to him in various
technical pursuits in which he may he engaged. Those intending
to prepare for the medical profession will find it advantageous
to follow several of the elementary courses here offered.
The new and commodious chemical laboratory, with its splen­
did equipment, lends every advantage to thorough and modern
instruction in this department.
Students who major in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
must have a reading knowledge of Germán before entering upon
the chemical work pursued during the third year. They should
also be thoroughly familiar with elementary mathematics.
The course in Chemistry, as Applied Science, is prescribed for
the first and second years. The course in Chemical Engineering
is prescribed for four years.
Students may major in Chemistry, in a course in Arts, re­
quiring 124 hours for graduation; in Chemistry, as Applied
Science, requiring 132 hours for graduation; in Chemical En­
gineering, requiring 140 hours for graduation.

The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor George F. Blessing. Lewis Fussell is Assistant Pro­
fessor of Electrical Engineering, Charles G. Thatcher is As­
sistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Ernest C. White
is Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering and E. Shannon
Bradfield is Instructor in charge of Shop Work.
The courses in Engineering are designed to train men in the
fundamental principles that underlie the branch in which they
are majoring, and to give such engineering and practical work
as time and equipment will permit.
The location of the College near Philadelphia and the
important manufacturing centers in its vicinity enables stu­
dents to visit a great variety of industrial and engineering
works.

94

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

A man must supplement a technical course by experience in
practice and contact with real engineering work before he can
attain his power as an engineer, and it is hoped that these visits
will prove of value to the student when he begins practical
engineering work.
The success of an engineer has come more and more to depend
upon his ability to meet men of education and culture^ on equal
terms; hence, courses in liberal arts are carried throughout the
four years in the belief that they will ultimately benefit the
students. The technical courses of study are arranged and con­
ducted with the purpose of imparting a liberal preparation for
immediate usefulness in the office, drafting room, or field. When
circumstances permit, undergraduates are encouraged to engage
in engineering work during the summer vacation. The experi­
ence and maturity so gained are of great value in subsequent
collegiate and professional work.
The instruction in this department is given both by lectures
and recitations; in the drafting room, the field work, the labora­
tory, and shop the aim is to adapt the instruction to the indi­
vidual needs o f the student.

THE

E Q U IP M E N T

The Field Equipment for practice in surveying includes tran­
sits, levels, plane tables, compasses and other auxiliary apparatus
o f the best makes and latest designs.
Engineering Library and Club Room. This is a large, beau­
tifully furnished room on the second floor of Beardsley Hall.
It is equipped with electrical connections for stereopticon lantern
or motion picture machine. The book shelves in this room con­
tain about one thousand volumes o f technical works in which is
included transactions of engineering societies and bound volumes
of the most important technical papers and journals. Current
issues of all the leading engineering magazines are also to be
found on the reading tables.
Drafting Rooms. The drafting rooms are equipped with draw­
ing tables, stools and cabinets. In addition to the above equip­
ment this department has a ten-inch Sibley wood turning lathe,
with many extra parts, and a duplex power driven pump for

DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

95

the use of Freshmen in sketching. The Junior and Senior draw­
ing rooms are also equipped with filing cabinets containing
blue prints and other data to aid the student in the design
courses.
The Engineering Laboratories. The Materials Laboratory con­
tains a 15,000-pound Olsen testing machine, and a larger one
having a capacity of 100,000 pounds. Both machines are fitted
for tests in tension, compression and deflection. In addition,
there is a 50,000-pound Olsen torsional testing machine, and
micrometers for measuring, elongation, compression and deflec­
tion ; a Fairbank’s cement testing machine with a complete equip­
ment for making tests on cement; a White-Souther endurance
testing machine, a Shore scleroscope, an Upton-Lewis endurance
testing machine and a complete equipment for the heat treatment
of metals.
For tests in mechanical engineering the equipment consists
of steam and, gas engine indicators, plainimeters, tachometers,
steam and coal calorimeters, pyrometers, gauge and indicator
testing apparatus. This laboratory also contains oil and grease
testing apparatus, a Junker calorimeter for gas and liquid fuel
tests and gas analysis apparatus.
In the Gas Engine Laboratory the apparatus consists of a fivehorse-power Otto gas engine, a ten-horse-power Quincy gasoline
and kerosene engine, a four-cylinder twenty-horse-power Rutenber automobile engine direct connected to a Tracy fan dyna­
mometer, a ten-horse-power Mietz and Weiss fuel oil engine and
a vertical fifty-horse power two-cylinder Bruce-Maebeth gas en­
gine. The above engines are fitted for testing with Prony brakes,
indicating apparatus, etc. This laboratory also contains a
“ Recco” Rider-Ericsson hot-air engine.
The Steam Engine Laboratory contains a fifty-horse power 8 in.
x 13 in. x 10 in. Ideal tandem-compound high-speed engine, a
10 in. x 24 in. Wetherell-Corliss engine, a seven-kilowatt hori­
zontal Curtis turbine direct connected to a direct-current dy­
namo installed with a separate switchboard. This laboratory
also contains a 5 in. x 8 in. vertical slide-valve engine. The above
engines can be run condensing or non-condensing. The con­
densing apparatus consists of a Wheeler surface condenser. The
steam engine equipment in the College power plant consists of

96

SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

two one-hundred-horse-power and one sixty-five-horse-power Har­
risburg high-speed engines.
The boiler room contains four one-hundred-and-twenty-five
horse-power horizontal return tubular boilers fitted with turbo
blowers and automatic damper regulator. F or testing the boil­
ers the plant is equipped with a W ilcox automatic feed water
weigher, coal weighing apparatus, flue gas analysis apparatus,
etc.
The equipment of the Hydraulic Laboratory consists of a
D ’Olier centrifugal pump direct connected with a ten-horse­
power direct current motor and fitted with necessary apparatus
for conducting a complete test such as weirs, nozzles, gauges,
etc. A fifteen-horse-power Christiana turbine water wheel fitted
with Prony brake, hook gauges, weirs, etc. A small impulse
water wheel of the Pelton type.
The Direct Current Laboratory contains a plug type switch­
board supplied with direct current power and connected with
the alternating switchboard so that the equipment in both lab­
oratories may be used in either. It makes possible the rapid
connection in parallel or series of all the apparatus. The me­
chanical power for this room is derived from a twenty-five-horsepower variable speed induction motor, and the direct current
power from the substation located in the adjoining room. This
is equipped with two twenty-five-kilowatt one-hundred-and-tenvolt direct current generators of Westinghouse make driven by
two thirty-five-horse-power three-phase General Electric induc­
tion motors; and one fifty-kilowatt General Electric induction
motor-generator set. In addition to the usual control apparatus
there is installed a Tirrill automatic voltage regulator, giving
very steady voltage. The apparatus includes shunt, series and
compound wound motors and generators, motor-generators and
variable speed motors of various types, together with the neces­
sary starting, field and load rheostats. The meters are of the
most accurate type, the range being from .001 to 500 amperes
and from .001 to 750 volts.
The Alternating Current Laboratory has a switchboard similar
to but larger than the one in the direct-current laboratory. It
is supplied with direct current and with twelve different alter­
nating voltages, the latter being obtained from a bank o f three

DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OE INSTRUCTION

twenty-KV-A step-down transformers. In addition to this sin­
gle- and three-phase supply a p a ir ' of Scott transformers of
four-KV-A rating deliver two-phase power, and a 7.5-KV-A
synchronous generator in the laboratory supplies one, two, three,
six or twelve phases. The main power: supply comes from the
power plant, where two seventy-five K V -A and one fifty-KV-A
revolving field alternator develop three-phase power at twentythree hundred volts. A good modem switchboard is rendered
doubly useful for teaching purposes, since there are more than
the usual number of switchboard meters which make checking
and comparison more effective. Here also there is a Tirrill volt­
age regulator. In the laboratory in addition to the resistances,
inductances, and condensers (one hundred and forty microfarads)
there are transformers, single- and three-phase induction motors
of several types, a repulsion motor, an inductor generator, two
synchronous converters, a synchronous motor, synchronous gen­
erator and a variable frequency motor generator set giving from
twenty to seventy cycles per second.
Single-phase and three-phase induction potential regulators
give close voltage control. There are a number of high-grade
ammeters, voltmeters, and wattmeters which make it possible
to read closely any current from .1 to 400 amperes and any
pressure from 10 to 3,000 volts. A vibrating reed frequency
meter, a synchroscope, a contact device for wave form, a power
factor meter, recording and integrating meters are available.
A fully equipped General Electric oscillograph is freely used to
show wave shape and phase relations.
For the work in illumination there are a Bunsen photometer
of. semi-portable type, a three-meter Queen photometer with
Lummer-Brodhun screen, revolving head, etc,; a portable SharpMiliar illuminometer. Many types of lamps and types of glass­
ware are at hand and a study is made o f the various types of
lighting around the college to determine where each would be
best applied for interior or outdoor work.

THE

M AJO R

IN

E N G IN E E R IN G

The engineering courses extend through four years; and, in
this respect, differ from the other major courses offered in the
College, which are elected at the beginning o f the second year
and extend through the three subsequent years. The students
in Engineering have thus their entire course arranged with the
advice and consent of their course adviser in Engineering.
The major in Engineering may be taken in one of three courses:
Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil Engineering. The courses of
study constituting the m ajor in Engineering are given in detail
below.
The work for the first two years is common to all students in
Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil Engineering and includes work
in English, Pure Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Drawing and
Shop Work.
The work offered in the shops throughout the several courses
is intended to teach the principles o f manufacturing and to
familiarize the student with methods and processes of the ihechanic arts. The student works in the various shops of the de­
partment, and completes in each a series o f practical exercises.
He thus obtains some knowledge of the nature and properties
of the various materials he employs, and becomes familiar with
the use and care of the more important hand and machine tools.
A complete checking, cost, and time-keeping system is in opera­
tion throughout the shops. The system is in charge of a shop
clerk, and each student is required to spend a part o f his time
in the office to familiarize himself with the. system. The object
is to make the shop courses not only a means o f developing the
powers o f observation and judgment, together with the acquisi­

DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OP INSTRUCTION

101

tion of mechanical skill, hut to familiarize the student with busi­
ness methods and make the shops serve as a laboratory for work
in Industrial Organization.
During the third year the Mechanical Engineering students
take up work in Kinematics of Machinery and Drawing, while
those in Civil Engineering are assigned Field Practice, and Ele­
mentary Structural Design. During the fourth year, opportunity
is offered for more definite specialization in the branches of Me­
chanical, Electrical, and Civil Engineering as indicated in the
courses outlined.
ADVANCED D EG REES IN CIVIL, M ECHANICAL, AND
E LE C TR IC A L ENGINEERING
The advanced degrees of Mechanical Engineer (M .E .), Elec­
trical Engineer ( E .E .),‘and Civil Engineer (C .E .), may be ob­
tained by graduates who have received their Bachelor’s degree
in engineering upon the fulfilling of the requirements given
below:
1. The candidate must have been connected with practical
engineering work for three years since receiving his first degree.

cation.
3. He must make application and submit an outline of the
thesis he expects to present, one full year before the advanced
degree is to be conferred. A fter this application is made he
will receive an'outline course of study to pursue during the
year.
4. The thesis must be submitted for approval, and satisfactory
evidence given that the reading requirement has been met one
calendar month before the time of granting the degree.
5. Every candidate shall pay a registration fee of $5 and an
additional fee of $20 when the degree is conferred.

Mathematics and Astronomy
The instruction o f this department'is under the direction of
Professor John A. Miller. Ross W . Marriott and John H. Pitman
are Assistant Professors. Margaret E. Powell is Assistant in the
Observatory. Elizabeth N. Frorer is an Assistant. Rev. Walter
A. Matos is Voluntary Observer. Murat Louis Johnson is Non­
resident Lecturer in the Mathematics of Insurance.
The courses in Mathematics are designed to meet the wants
of students desiring later to do graduate work in the best uni­
versities; to teach mathematics in the preparatory schools; to
pursue engineering or other technical courses; to enter profes­
sions requiring a knoweldge of Mathematics, such as actuarial

112

sw arthm ore

college

b u l l e t in

work, expert accounting, ballistic engineering, etc. The college
requirement of six hours of 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 of these three alterna­
tives is recommended. Students majoring in Mathematics will
.-take the first year Courses 252 and 253.
A description o f the instrumental equipment for astronomy
may be found on pp. 21-22. The teaching staff is at present de­
voting as much time as is consistent with their teaching duties
to studies in stellar parallax with the twenty-four-inch tele­
scope, and in comet photography with the photographic tele­
scope. Results of these studies are published in the Sproul
Observatory publications, and various scientific journals. Stu­
dents interested in either of these problems may work with ad­
vantage in conjunction with one of the professors.
The observatory is open to visitors on the second and fourth
Tuesday nights of each month, except those Tuesday nights that
fall in a vacation period. This affords an opportunity of seeing
in the course of a year, many celestial objects of various types.
The Mathematical and Astronomical Club, an association of
students in Mathematics and allied subjects, and instructors in
Mathematics, meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month
in the lecture room o f the Sproul Observatory. A t these meet­
ings, reports are given by students on subjects usually not pre­
sented in the classroom. Active participation in the club by
students majoring in the department is urged.
A departmental library is located on the first floor of the Ob­
servatory. It contains about two thousand volumes and is suffi­
ciently complete to make it a good working library. It is reason­
ably supplied with standard treatises, particularly those pub­
lished in the last two decades. It contains complete sets of
nearly all the American Mathematical and Astronomical peri­
odicals, and sets, some of which are complete, some of which are
not, of the leading English, German, and French periodicals.
This library receives in exchange for the publications of the
observatory, the publications of many of the leading observa­
tories of the world.
The departmental library has been repeatedly enriched through

DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES OP INSTRUCTION

113

the benefactions of Professor S. J. Cunningham. Upon her
retirement in 1906, she donated her private library. In 1908
she gave a fund which is being spent for the library, and in
1910 she gave a fund the income of which will be devoted to
the purchase of books and periodicals. A fund given by Governor
William C. Sproul has made possible the purchase of complete
files of various astronomical periodicals and other astronomical
publications.

SWABTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN

Physics
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Assistant Professor Winthrop R. Wright.
The department aims to give a general course in the subject
setting forth the fundamental principles of the science in their
relation to the other sciences and to general experience. In the
more advanced course, a more rigorous and mathematical treat­
ment is offered to those primarily interested in physics and to
those majoring in chemistry, engineering, and mathematics. The
lecture and recitation work in these courses is supplemented by
laboratory experiments.
. Advanced courses are offered in special branches of the sub­
ject and such changes will he made in these courses from year
to year that a student may obtain a comprehensive, though neces­
sarily elementary, view of the domain of modem physics. The
department aims to prepare students through these courses for
post-graduate study, for research work in industrial laboratories,
or for the teaching of physics in secondary schools. Certain of
the courses will be especially designed to meet the needs of those
majoring in the allied sciences.
Students who plan to m ajor in physics should realize that a
thbrough grounding in mathematics and chemistry must be ac­
quired at the same time. An elementary knowledge of Greek,
Latin, French, and German will be found o f practical value and
a reading knowledge of scientific French and German should be
obtained early.

Physical Education
The Physical Education of the college is under the direction of
E. LeRoy Mercer, M.D., Assistant Professor of Physical Educa­
tion. He is assisted in the courses for women by Miss Helen
Culin, Miss Elizabeth Panning, and Dr. Mary R. Hadley Lewis.
The aim of the department of Physical Education is to pro­
mote the general physical well being of 'th e 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 of the strength
and weakness of the individual, a careful physical examination
and medical inspection (eye, nose, and throat) is required, which
serves as a basis for the work.
All 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.

form of outdoor exercise must be taken. This may be tennis, rid­
ing, cross-country tramps, or swimming. Exceptions to these re­
quirements are made only for physical disability and at the dis­
cretion of the physician in charge, in which case suitable work
is prescribed. Exercise in the gymnasium, swimming and all
athletic sports are under the personal supervision of the in­
structor.
