HISTORY AND LOCATION
Swarthmore College was founded in 1864 by members of
the religious Society of Friends. In accordance with Friendly
traditions, the purpose of the College has been to develop bet
ter individuals by the training of disciplined intelligence, the
discovery of individual capacities, and the establishment of a
sense of social responsibility. The College demands rigorous
standards of scholarship and a responsible attitude toward the
College and society as necessary means to a liberal culture.
The College is situated in the Borough of Swarthmore, eleven
miles southwest of Philadelphia on the West Chester branch
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and close to the highway, Route
1, which leads to Baltimore. The Borough is primarily a resi
dential suburb with a small business section.
The enrolment of the College is limited to approximately
seven hundred resident students. The endowment is seven and a
half million dollars.

College property, including a large tract of woodland and the
valley of Crum Creek. Much of this tract has been developed
as an Arboretum through the provisions of the Arthur Hoyt Scott
Horticultural Foundation, established in 1929 by Mrs. Arthur
Hoyt Scott and Owen and Margaret Moon as a memorial to
Arthur Hoyt Scott of the Class of 1895. The Arboretum is de
signed both to beautify the campus and to afford examples of
the better kinds of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants which
are hardy in the climate of Eastern Pennsylvania and suitable
for planting by the average gardener. There are exceptionally
fine displays of Japanese cherries and tree peonies, and a great
variety of lilacs and chrysanthemums. Many donors have con
tributed generously to the collections. (For full information see
Bulletin of Sw arthm ore C olleg e, Vol. xxxvii. No. 5.)
Playing Fields
There are two large tracts of playing fields for men, one
overlooking Crum Woods and the other on the lower campus
19
near the Field House. The former includes S w arthm ore F ield
and Alumni F ield which provide grounds for football, baseball
and lacrosse, and a quarter-mile cinder track. A permanent
grandstand, seating eighteen hundred persons, was the gift of
Morris S. Clothier, 1890. The lower tract contains additional
fields for lacrosse and soccer. There are also seven tennis
courts near Wharton Hall.
Cunningham F ield for women was given by students,
alumnae, and friends of the College in memory of Susan J.
Cunningham, for many years Professor of Mathematics and
Astronomy. It includes hockey fields, tennis courts, practice
golf course, and a riding ring. The Women's Athletic Associa
tion owns also an Outing Club cabin on a farm near Notting
ham, Pennsylvania.
BUILDINGS
Class-Room s, L aboratories, an d O ffices
Parrish H all contains the offices of the President, Deans,
Comptroller, House Director and Dietitian; the offices of the
departments of classics, English, fine arts, French and mathe
matics, the mathematics library, and a number of class-rooms
and seminar rooms.
The Is a a c H. C lothier M em orial is the gift of Mrs. Isaac H.
Clothier and members of her family in memory of Isaac H.
Clothier, for forty-eight years one of the Board of Managers,
and for seven years President of the Board. The Memorial is
a quadrangle of buildings, including a bell tower connected
by cloisters with a suite of seminar rooms and the Managers'
Room, and a hall seating one thousand persons, equipped with
stage and organ. The organ was the gift of Herbert J. Tily in
memory of Isaac H. Clothier.
Trotter Hall, in its east wing, provides offices and class
rooms for the departments of economics, history, philosophy,
and political science. The central section contains the labora
tories, offices and lecture room of the department of physics.
The west wing houses groups working in music, dramatics and
art.
The H all of C hem istry is equipped with laboratories, offices,
a lecture amphitheatre, and a library for instruction and re
search in chemistry.
The E dw ard Martin B iological L aboratory, given by Fred M.
Kirby of Wilkes-Barre, in honor of Dr. Edward Martin, houses
the departments of botany, zoology, and psychology. It pro
20
vides classrooms, laboratories, and a library for both under
graduate instruction and advanced research.
The Sproul A stronom ical O bservatory houses the astronom
ical work of the department of mathematics and astronomy.
The astronomical equipment has been purchased from a fund
given by William C. Sproul, 1891, and is extensively used for
advanced research. The Student s Astronom ical O bservatory
occupies one wing of Cunningham H ouse.
Hicks Hall and B eard sley Hall house the division of engi
neering. Hicks Hall was given by Frederick C. Hicks, 1893,
in memory of the Hicks family of Long Island—Isaac Hicks,
Elias Hicks, Benjamin Hicks, and Alice A. Hicks. The build
ing provides civil, electrical and mechanical laboratories,
class-rooms, offices, a library, and an auditorium. B eardsley
Hall contains forge and foundry, machine shop and wood
working equipment.
The Bartol Foundation Building, erected on the campus
by The Franklin Institute for research in physics, is entirely in
dependent of the College, but makes a contribution to Swarthmore life by bringing here a group of research physicists.
Gym nasium s
The W illiam /. Hall G ym nasium for men contains offices,
examining room, a main exercise hall, and hand ball courts.
The F ield H ouse for men was designed by Robert E. Lamb
of the Board of Managers. Its dimensions are 315 feet by
115 feet; it includes two basketball floors, and a clay floor large
enough for baseball, football, soccer, lacrosse, and other games
normally played out of doors. The building also has a run
ning track, tennis courts, and rooms for wrestling and boxing.
A bow lin g a lle y is provided in a building near the Chester
Road dormitories for men.
Som erville Hall, erected in 1893 by the Somerville Literary
Society, is the gymnasium for women students.
Swimm ing p oo ls for men and for women are connected with
the Hall and Somerville Gymnasiums. Both were given by
Philip M. Sharpies, Emeritus member of the Board of Managers.
LIBRARIES
The S warthmore C ollege Library is part of the gift of
Andrew Carnegie, contains reading rooms, offices, and a col
lection of 130,000 volumes. Some 6,000 volumes are added an21
nually. About 600 periodicals are received regularly. The
general collection, including all but the scientific and technical
books and journals, is housed in the library building, situated
on the front campus. An addition providing storeroom for 150,000 volumes was erected in 1935. Important special units of the
main Library are the Appleton collection of classics and English
literature and the Potter collection of legal material. The library
is definitely a collection of books and journals for undergrad
uate use. The demands of honors work, however, make neces
sary the provision of large quantities of source material not
usually found in collections maintained for undergraduates.
It is a point of library policy to supply as fully as it can, either
by purchase or through inter-libarary loan, the books needed
by students or members of the faculty for their individual
research.
The F riends Historical Library, founded in 1870 by Anson
Lapham, is one of the most outstanding collections in the United
States of manuscripts, printed books and pamphlets, pictures,
and other materials relating to the history of the Society of
Friends. The library is the central depository for the records
of Friends' meetings belonging to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting
(Hicksite), and contains over 800 record books, many of which
have been reproduced on microfilm. A reading machine for
microfilms is available. Among the other manuscript hold
ings are the Charles F. Jenkins Autograph Collection, including
signatures of many members of the Continental Congress; the
Charles F. Jenkins Whittier Collection, consisting of first
editions, holograph letters and poems of John Greenleaf Whit
tier; many letters of Elias Hicks; and journals, letters and mis
cellaneous papers of other Friends. Also housed in the Friends
Historical Library is the Jane Addams Peace Collection started
in 1930 by a gift of books and personal papers from Jane
Addams; it comprises a large number of books, pamphlets,
and periodicals dealing with international peace, and has
become a depository for the correspondence files of many
peace organizations. The library's collection of printed mate
rials by and about Friends includes a large number of seven
teenth-century imprints, as well as many books, pamphlets
and periodicals of a later date. There is also an extensive
collection of photographs of meeting houses and portraits of
representative Friends, including Sir Peter Lely's painting of
George Fox. The entire collection is housed in the Biddle
22
Memorial Library, a fireproof structure of stone and steel, given
by Clement M. Biddle, 1896, in memory of his father, Clement
M. Biddle. It is hoped that Friends and others will consider
the advantages of depositing in this library, for preservation
and for the use of reasearch students, books, family papers,
and other materials in their possession which may throw light
on the history of the Society of Friends.
THE WILLIAM J. COOPER FOUNDATION
The W illiam J. C ooper F oundation provides a varied pro
gram of lectures and concerts which enriches and supplements
the academic work of the College. The Foundation was
established by William J. Cooper, a devoted friend of the
College, whose wife, Emma Mcllvain Cooper, served as a
member of the Board of Managers from 1882 to 1923. Mr.
Cooper bequeathed to the College the sum of $100,000 and
provided that the income should be used "in bringing to the
College from time to time eminent citizens of this and other
countries who are leaders in statesmanship, education, the
arts, sciences, learned professions and business, in order that
the faculty, students and the College community may be
broadened by a closer acquaintance with matters of world
interest." Admission to all programs is without charge.
The Cooper Foundation Committee works with the de
partments and with student organizations in arranging single
lectures and concerts, and also in bringing to the College
speakers of note who remain in residence for a long enough
period to enter into the life of the community. They not only
give public addresses, but also attend seminars and classes,
and meet students and members of the Faculty informally.
Some of these speakers have been invited with the under
standing that their lectures should be published under the
auspices of the Foundation. This arrangement has so far pro
duced 7 volumes:

COLLECTIONS OF ART AND MUSIC
The B enjam in W est S ociety, an organization of alumni,
members of the Faculty, and friends of the College, has built
up a collection of 286 paintings, drawings, and etchings, which
are exhibited as space permits in various College buildings.
The Society owes its name to the American artist of the
eighteenth century who was born in a house which still stands
on the Swarthmore Campus, and who becam e President of the
Royal Academy.
The G eorge G rey Barnard collection, the gift of the artist,
contains 200 casts of his works, many of great size. It is not
open to visitors, since the building in which it is temporarily
stored for safe keeping is not suitable for exhibitions.
The Bronson M. C utting M emorial C ollection of R ecorded
Music was established at Swarthmore College in 1936 by a gift
of approximately four thousand phonograph records, a radiophonograph, books and musical scores, from the family of
Bronson Murray Cutting, late Senator from New Mexico. Its
object is to make the best recorded music available to the
undergraduates, faculty, and friends of Swarthmore College, in
cooperation with the work of the College Department of Music.
COOPERATION WITH NEARBY INSTITUTIONS
Since 1933 Swarthmore College and three nearby institutions
—Haverford College, Bryn Mawr College, and the University
of Pennsylvania—have had a cooperative plan involving the
occasional exchange of instructors and students. This has
made it possible for students at Swarthmore by special ar
rangement to enroll for courses in the other institutions. Cooper24'
ation between the three Quaker colleges is being carried fur
ther at the present time, with plans for a more systematic
exchange of instructors and collaboration among the students
in those extracurricular activities which will profit by a wider
range of talent. Consideration will be given to the material
and instruction already available in building up library facili
ties and new departments with the aim of taking maximum
advantage of the resources of the institutions concerned.
HOUSING
Swarthmore is primarily a residential college, conducted on
the assumption that an important element in education comes
from close association of students and instructors. The College
accepts a limited number of day students whose homes are
within easy commuting distance. All other students live in
dormitories and have their meals in the College Dining Room.
Dormitories
There are five dormitories for men: W harton Hall, named in
honor of its donor, Joseph Wharton, at one time President of the
Board of Managers; three buildings on Chester Road, and
Thom as H ouse on Harvard Avenue.
The women's dormitories include the upper floors in the
wings of Parrish Hall; Worth Hall, the gift of William P. Worth,
1876, and J. Sharpless Worth, ex-1873, as a memorial to their
parents; W oolm an H ouse, now the French H ouse, given by
Emma C. Bancroft, for many years Chairman of the Household
Committee of the Board of Managers; Bassett Dormitory.
Dining Room s
All students, both men and women, have their meals in two
adjoining College Dining Rooms in Parrish Hall.
Infirm aries
The infirmary for men is in Section F of Wharton Hall. The
women's infirmary is at the east end of Parrish Hall. A reg
istered nurse is in charge of each, under the direction of the
college physicians.
25
PROVISION FOR SOCIAL LIFE
C ollection Hall
A large recreation room. C ollection Hall, is in the central
section of Parrish Hall above the dining rooms. It provides
space for dancing, tables for ping pong and bridge, and a pro
gram of formal and informal social events directed by the Col
lege Social Committee of men and women students.
Bond M em orial Hall an d Activities L odges
Bond M em orial Hall, adjacent to Worth Hall, contains a large
drawing room equipped for teas and class dances. On the
upper floors are rooms for the use of the Women's Student Gov
ernment Association, Mortar Board, and the Cutting Collection.
Bond T ow er and the two Activities L od g es c.ontain four Col
lege guest rooms. Each Activities Lodge provides also a room
furnished as a living room for meetings of small groups and
for informal entertaining.
Men's Fraternity L odges
Five national fraternities for men maintain chapters at
Swarthmore: Phi Kappa Psi, Kappa Sigma, Delta Upsilon, Phi
Delta Theta, Phi Sigma Kappa. Each has a small lodge, used
solely for informal social gatherings. About half the men stu
dents are members of fraternities, but all men, regardless of
such affiliations, live in College dormitories and have their
meals in the College dining rooms.
W om en's C lass L od g es
Four lodges, connected with Bond Hall, are assigned to the
women members of each of the four classes. The lodge which
a class takes over as freshmen remains a center of their in
formal social life throughout their College course.
Class and Activities Lodges were originally the property of
six chapters of national women's fraternities. These chapters
gave up their charters as the result of a decision by the
Women's Student Government Association that they interfered
with the development of general College social life.
26
STUDENT WELFARE
H ealth
There are two part-time College physicians, one for men
and one for women, each of whom holds daily office hours at
the College. Students may consult them during office hours
without charge. A student must report any illness to the
College physicians, but is free to go for treatment to another
doctor if he prefers to do so.
The College physicians give physical examinations to all
students at the beginning of their freshman year, and arrange
to see every student at least once in each subsequent year.
The College health program now includes tuberculin tests,
which are compulsory for all students.
The infirmaries are open to resident students without charge
unless the services of a special nurse are required. Students
suffering from a communicable disease or from illness which
makes it necessary for them to remain in bed must stay in the
infirmaries for the period of their illness.
The psychiatrists of the Institute of the Pennsylvania Hospital
are consulted when need arises.
Student Advisers
The Deans and their assistants serve as student advisers.
They rely also on the help of upper class men and women in
work with Freshmen. Members of the Senior Honorary Socie
ties of Book and Key and Mortar Board carry special responsi
bility for the Freshman Placement Program.
V ocational A dvice
The Alumni Secretary and an Assistant to the Dean provide
information on vocations and arrange conferences to assist
students in their choice of a career; they also attempt to help
undergraduates and graduates find employment.
27
GENERAL COLLEGE ACTIVITIES
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES
The Society of Friends is founded on the principle that the
ultimate seat of the spiritual authority lies in the Inner Light
of each individual. It is committed to the belief that religion is
best expressed in the quality of every-day living. There are a c
cordingly no compulsory religious services. Students are en
couraged to attend the churches of their choice. Episcopal,
Presbyterian, Methodist, and Christian Science churches are
located in the borough. Catholic churches are to be found in
the nearby towns of Morton, Media, and Chester.
The Swarthmore Meeting House is located on the campus.
Students are cordially invited to attend its active religious serv
ice on Sunday. A fifteen-minute meeting for quiet meditation
after the manner of Friends is held every Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, and Friday morning. Students and faculty attend
on a voluntary basis. Extra-curricular groups under faculty di
rection exist for the study of the Bible and the exploration of
common concerns in religion. Through periods of silent medi
tation, through groups active in some social cause, through
the attitude of members of the faculty, religion is made, not
a matter of formal exercise, but of individual spiritual adjust
ment to one's fellow men and to the multifarious activities of
life. In keeping with the tradition of the Society of Friends it
is less a matter of profession and creed than of attitude and
behaviour.
COLLECTION
There is an assembly of the College, called C ollection, from
9:00 until 9:25 a. m., every Wednesday in the Clothier Me
morial; attendance of students is required. The program is
opened by a period of silence according to the Friendly tradi
tion, followed by an address or music.
COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS
The S w arthm ore C o lleg e Bulletin, published quarterly by
the Administration, includes as three of its numbers the C olleg e
C atalog u e, the Annual R eport of the President an d Treasurer,
and the Students' H an dbook. The fourth number is devoted to
special reports.
28
ü
i ï »
*» m
The G arn et Letter, edited by the Alumni Secretary, carries
news of the College to the Alumni. It appears four times a year.
Three publications are under student management : a weekly
newspaper, the S w arthm ore Phoenix; a literary magazine, the
Dodo; and a year-book, the H alcyon, edited by the Junior Class.
Students serve also as assistant editors of the Students' H and
book.
The releasing of College news to papers in Philadelphia and
elsewhere is in the hands of the student group, the N ews Bu
reau , which works with the Administration in issuing official
statements, and takes care of reporting all undergraduate
activities.
ALUMNI OFFICE
In 1938 the college added to its administrative staff the office
of Alumni Executive Secretary. This office serves a threefold
function: (1) To maintain an accurate record of the where
abouts of Swarthmore's 6,500 living alumni. (2) To supervise
the entire program of college-alumni relationships, including
the publishing of the Garnet Letter. (3) To assist men students
in choosing careers for which they are best fitted—and to lend
assistance in placing men in permanent positions at the time of
graduation.
ARTS AND CRAFTS
Work in the arts and crafts at Swarthmore is done in extra
curricular groups which do not involve academic credit. The
program is under the supervision of a faculty committee and the
groups are directed by members of the Faculty or professional
artists or craftsmen. Students are encouraged to take part in at
least one such activity as a valuable supplement to their acad
emic work.
Music
The S w arthm ore C o lleg e O rchestra and M ixed Chorus hold
weekly meetings to prepare programs for presentation at the
College and elsewhere. These groups study the best classical
and modern music. The Sw arthm ore C o lleg e G lee Club, a
men's chorus, includes some popular music in the concerts
which it gives in various cities under alumni auspices.
31
An informal chamber music group plays weekly in the house
of a member of the Faculty. There are also informal singing
groups which gather from time to time in Faculty homes.
The T heater W orkshop offers extra-curricular work in direct
ing, acting, stage and costume design and construction, light
ing, playwriting, and make-up. These activities provide the
groundwork for two or more public productions a year in the
Clothier Memorial Auditorium. Responsibility for these perform
ances is shared by the Director of Dramatics and an elective
student organization. The Little T h eater Club, whose members
have shown distinction in the Workshop.
Writing
As a supplement to the required work in composition (p. 75),
groups in narrative, poetry, play, and article writing are ar
ranged as desired. Manuscripts are submitted for the Hayes
prizes (p. 140) and national competitions.
The B ookm akers Club writes, prints, and binds its own work.
S p eech
As a supplement to the required work in composition (p. 75),
advanced groups in speech and debate are arranged as de
sired. Public speaking contests include the Potter prize
(p. 136), the Delta Upsilon prizes (p. 140), and the Bunting Ex
temporaneous Speaking prize (p. 140).
The S p e ec h Choir gives several public performances.
Intercollegiate debates, radio broadcasts, and speeches to
nearby clubs are arranged by the D eb ate Board, an under
graduate body including all students who have represented the
College in public debate in cooperation with the faculty adviser
on debating.
The Town M eeting provides opportunities for all students to
hear and participate in discussions of public questions.
T he G raphic Arts
Instruction in painting, drawing, and modeling in clay and
stone is provided by the S ketch Club. The C am era Club offers
facilities for those interested in photography. There are also
groups in metal and woodworking, in printing and binding,
and in pottery. An exhibition of the work done in these groups
is held each spring.
32
R adio
The R adio Club operates Amateur Radio Station W3AJ and is
affiliated with the American Radio Relay League. Campus
broadcasts include popular recordings, concert records from the
Cutting Collection (p. 24), as well as performances of the
choral, instrumental, and speech groups.
The D ance
Instruction in modem, folk, and classical dancing is provided
by the Physical Education Department (p. 96).
ATHLETICS
The College maintains a varied program of activities for men
and women with a schedule of both extra-mural and intra
mural games. The aim of the athletic program is to develop the
capacities of each individual student, and to give a large num
ber of students the experience of representing the College on
athletic teams. The Departments of Physical Education for men
and women work closely with the two student A thletic A sso
ciations. For information about the requirements in physical
education, and the choice of possible ways of meeting them,
see pages 94 and 96.
33

34
SOCIETIES AND CLUBS
H onorary S cholarship S ocieties
Phi B eta K ap p a, the national society for the recognition of
scholarship, has had a chapter at Swarthmore since 1896. A
chapter of S igm a Tau, the national society recognizing scholas
tic attainment in engineering, was established in 1917. A chap
ter of S igm a Xi, the national scientific society for the promotion
of research, was granted a charter in 1922.
D epartm ental Clubs
Departmental clubs which hold stated meetings during the
academic year include: the C ercle F ran çais, the Chem istry
Club, the C lassical Club, the E n gineers Club, the G erm an Club,
and the M athem atics Club. The programs of these clubs give
the opportunity for the presentation of papers and addresses
by undergraduates and frequently by visiting scholars and
scientists.
S w arthm ore Student Union
The Sw arthm ore Student Union is an organization of liberal
students who have an active interest in public affairs. Commit
tees devoted to work on peace, labor problems and education
carry on programs in their special fields. The Union publishes
a bulletin containing articles by students and faculty which
appears quarterly, and sponsors study groups in social prob
lems and public lectures by distinguished speakers in various
fields. The Union is entirely independent and has no affiliation
with any national organization.
International R elations Club
The International R elations Club is an organization which
studies the international situation from a non-partisan view
point. It holds meetings at which outside speakers on foreign
affairs are frequently present. The club is under the supervision
of two members of the faculty, and the membership is unlimited.
No student organization of the College may incur any finan
cial obligation, or make any contract involving monetary con
sideration without first obtaining the sanction of the Comp
troller of the College, or of the proper faculty committee under
whose supervision the organization is placed. Students con
templating a new organization must first consult the faculty
committee on Student Affairs.
35
REQUIREMENTS FO R ADMISSION
Applications for admission should be addressed to the Deans
of the College: from men applicants, to Dean Everett L. Hunt;
from women, to Dean Frances Blanshard.
GENERAL STATEMENT
An applicant for admission will be judged on the basis of
the following evidence:
1. Record in secondary school.
2. Recommendation of the school principal or headmaster.
3. Rating in the Scholastic Aptitude Test, and in any other
College Entrance Board examinations .which may be re
quired in special cases.
4. Personal interview with one of the Deans or an appointed
representative (interviews are normally arranged only for
applicants of promise).
For several years the number of qualified applicants has
exceeded the limits of the Freshman class, putting admission on
a competitive basis. In the selection of students, strong intellec
tual interests and excellence in some particular direction will
receive more consideration than a record which shows a higher
average without promise of unusual ability in any one field.
Children of Friends and Alumni of the College who rank high in
their graduating class will be assured of admission; those who
do not rank high will be considered under the terms of the selec
tive process described above.
In general candidates are admitted on the basis of (1) high
rank in school and in the Scholastic Aptitude test; (2) evidence
of sturdiness of character. Students who show special distinc
tion in one line in spite of irregularities of preparation may be
given the opportunity of qualifying for admission by taking cer
tain content examinations of the College Entrance Examination
Board.
SUBJECTS OF PREPARATORY STUDY
In preparation for College work an applicant is expected to
complete a four-year secondary school course which includes
work in English, foreign language, mathematics, history, and
36
usually a laboratory science. The table below shows the pos
sible distribution of work among these subjects. A "unit" rep
resents a course involving four or five periods a week through
out one school year except in the case of English where three
units are assigned for four such courses.

IMPORTANT DATES FOR ADMISSION APPLICANTS
A formal application should be submitted during the Junior
year, whenever possible, and must be filed by March 1 of the
year in which admission is desired. Applicants are required to
take the Scholastic Aptitude Test in April of their Senior year
if they have not taken it at the end of their Junior year. Appli
cants normally receive notice of the action of the Admissions
Committee during May. Provisional acceptance at this time
must be ratified after a candidate's final grades have been sub

SCHOLARSHIPS
The date before which applications for scholarships must be
filed is March 1. All candidates for awards in the freshman
year are required to take special qualifying tests, consisting of
the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Scholastic Achievement
Tests administered by the College Entrance Examination Board.
S cholarship Exam inations a n d E arly Exam inations tor
Admission to b e H eld on April 11, 1942
The College Entrance Examination Board will hold examina
tions at approximately 150 places in the United States on April
11, 1942, for applicants for scholarships and for admission to
college. A list of these places and a detailed announcement re
garding the April series of examinations will be ready for
distribution on October 1.
Every candidate is required to file an application with the
Executive Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board,
431 West 117th Street, New York, N. Y„ not later than March 15,
1942. (Candidates west of the Mississippi should file their ap
plications by March 8, those outside of the United States, by
February 8.) A candidate who takes the examinations in order
to qualify for a scholarship should secure the blank form from
the College. A candidate taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test for
admission only may secure an application form directly from
the College Board. In order to facilitate the making of arrange
ments for the proper conduct of the examinations, it is desired
that all applications be filed as early as possible. The examina
tion fee of ten dollars for both tests, or five dollars for the S chol
astic test a lo n e should accompany the application and should
be remitted by postal order, express order, or draft on New
York to the order of the College Entrance Examination Board.
Inasmuch as no special preparation will be needed for this
series of examinations, detailed information regarding them,
with the exception of the practice booklet for the Scholastic
Aptitude Test, will not be distributed to candidates.
The College Entrance Examination Board will report to the
institution indicated on the candidate's application the results
of his examinations. Candidates should not expect to receive
from the Board reports upon their examinations.

ADVANCED STANDING
For favorable consideration, applicants for advanced standing
must have had a high scholastic record in the institution from
which they wish to transfer, and must present full credentials
for both college and preparatory work and a letter of honorable
dismissal. As a general rule, students are not admitted to ad
vanced standing later than the beginning of the sophomore
year. The minimum requirement of residence is two years, one
of which must be the senior year.
Applications must be filed by March 1.
REQUIREMENTS FO R GRADUATION
G en eral Statem ent
Swarthmore College offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts
and the degree of Bachelor of Science. The latter is given only
in the Division of Engineering; the former, in the Divisions of
the Humanities, the Social Sciences, and Mathematics and the
Natural Sciences.* Four years of resident study are normally
required for the completion of the work leading to a Bachelor's
degree.
The work of the first two years is marked off from that of the
last two. During the first two years, all students are expected to
complete general College requirements, to choose their major
and minor subjects, and to prepare for advanced work in these
subjects by taking certain prerequisites. A student's normal
schedule comprises four lull courses a year, each of which rep
resents from ten to twelve hours of work a week, including
class meetings and laboratory periods. The program for the last
two years affords a choice between two methods of study:
Honors Work, which may lead to a degree with Honors, and
General Courses. An honors student concentrates upon three
related subjects which he studies by the seminar method; the
system will be explained more fully below. A student in Gen
eral Courses may concentrate somewhat less, and continues to
have a schedule of four full courses a year.
In addition to scholastic requirements for graduation, all
students must meet certain standards of participation in Phys'F o r g r o u p in g s o f d e p a r t m e n t s s e e p a g e 14.
39
ical education as set forth in the statement of that department
(see pp. 94, 96) and must attend the Collection exercises of
the College (see p. 28).
C ourse Advisers
The course advisers of freshmen and sophomores are the
Deans, in cooperation with the departments in which the stud
ents are enrolled as majors. For juniors and seniors the advisers
are the chairmen of their major departments or their repre
sentatives.
PROGRAM OF THE FIRST TWO YEARS
The general requirements for the first two years include :
(a) Two full courses selected from two of the three Divisions:
Humanities, Social Sciences, Mathematics and the Natural
Sciences.
(b) Prerequisites for the work of the last two years in major
and minor subjects.
(c) Completion of the minimum foreign language require
ment. An exceptionally well prepared freshman may demon
strate that he has completed this requirement before entering
College by his achievement in a placement test which he takes
at the beginning of his College course. The results of the test
indicate, however, that most students need to devote from one
to four semesters to further study of language.
The language requirement is explained as follows:
E ach student will pursue o n e foreign la n g u a g e to a point
eq u iv a len t to the com pletion of C ourse 2. A chievem en t in this
course or its equ iv alen t will b e m easu red b y a test given in
S ep tem b er a s an a id to p lacem en t, an d in Jan u ary an d June
at the regu lar exam ination periods. All students will b e r e

40
PROGRAM OF THE LAST TWO YEARS
WORK IN COURSES
The work of the last two years in Courses must include a
major and one minor, both in the same Division, and electives.
At the end of the sophomore year, a student's choice of his ma
jor and minor subjects must be approved by the departments
concerned.
Each student in Courses offers for graduation at least four
full courses or their equivalent in his major subject and at least
three full courses or their equivalent in his minor subject.
The completion of sixtèen full courses, with a minimum aver
age of C (see p. 46), normally constitutes the course require
ment for a degree. A student may carry extra work after the
freshman year with the approval of his course adviser and of
the Committee on Prescribed and Extra Work, provided that his
record in the previous year has been satisfactory. In addition to
completing his courses, the student at the end of his senior year
must pass a comprehensive examination in his major subject,
set by the faculty of the major department.
HONORS WORK
D e s c r ip t io n o f t h e S y s t e m
Honors work is a system of instruction designed to free from
the limitations of class-room routine those students whose ma
turity and capacity enable them to do independent work. Stu
dents who are chosen toward the end of their sophomore year
to read for honors are exempt from the usual course require
ments. Instead, during their junior and senior years they study
a few subjects intensively and independently. They meet their
instructors weekly in small seminars lasting about three hours.
In these meetings it is customary for students to present fre
quent papers, although the methods of stimulating discussion
vary greatly. In scientific subjects additional time is spent in
the laboratory. The work is so planned that a student takes
two seminars each semester, making a total of eight seminars
during his last two years. Departments sometimes permit their
major students to prepare a thesis instead of one seminar.
Honors work involves a concentration of the student's efforts
upon a limited and integrated field of studies. He chooses semi
nars in three (or sometimes four) allied subjects, and, custom-
41
arily devotes at least one-half of his time to a single depart
ment in the line of his major interest, in which he is expected
to demonstrate real achievement. Combinations of seminars are
not governed by rigid rules but must be approved by the de
partments and divisions in which work is taken. Combinations
involving seminars from two Divisions must be approved by the
Instruction Committee. No examinations or grades are given
from semester to semester.* At the end of the senior year honors
students take written and oral examinations given by exam
iners from other institutions, f
The student should attain a degree of proficiency which will
enable him to meet a rigorous and searching examination.
This examination is designed to test his competence in a field
of knowledge rather than his mastery of those facts which an
instructor has seen fit to present in seminar. This is one of the
chief ends for which the system of external examiners has been
instituted. The examiners first set a three-hour written exami
nation on the subject of each seminar, and after reading the
written examination have an opportunity to question each
student orally, in order to clarify and enlarge the basis of their
judgment of the student's command of his material.
Upon recommendation of the examiners, successful candi
dates are awarded the bachelor's degree with honors, with
high honors, or with highest honors. Highest honors are award
ed only to those who show unusual distinction. When the work
of a candidate does not, in the opinion of the examiners, merit
honors of any grade, his papers are returned to his instructors,
who decide, under rules of the faculty, whether he shall be
given a degree in course.
Students admitted to honors work who prove unable to meet
the requirements or who for other reasons return to regular
classes may receive proportional course credit for the work
they have done while reading for honors.
Regulations governing possible combinations of major and
minor subjects in the four divisions appear below. Lists of
seminars offered in preparation for examinations follow de
partmental statements.

R e g u l a t io n s
C om binations of M ajors an d Minors
DIVISION OF THE HUMANITIES
Major subjects include English, French, German, Greek,
History, Latin, Philosophy and Psychology: related minor sub
jects include those already listed, and Fine Arts. At least half
of the student's time will probably be devoted to his major sub
ject, the remainder being divided between two related subjects
within the division.
DIVISION OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
Major and minor subjects include Economics, History, Phi
losophy, Psychology, and Political Science. Students in this di
vision normally devote half their time to their major subject, di
viding the remainder among related minor subjects according
to plans approved by the division.
DIVISION OF MATHEMATICS AND THE NATURAL SCIENCES
Major subjects include Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics,
Physics, Psychology, Zoology; related minor subjects include
the subjects listed, and Astronomy and Philosophy. At least
half of the student's time will probably be devoted to his major
subject, with the remainder divided between two other related
subjects within the division.
DIVISION OF ENGINEERING
Major subjects for honors work in this division include Civil
Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineer
ing; a minor may be taken in either or both of the engineering
departments in which the student does not have his major, or
in Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics or Economics. At least onehalf of the student's time will be devoted to his major in engi
neering. The degree granted is the B.S. in Engineering.
The final examination will include papers on the fundamen
tals of the three professional departments of engineering, four
papers on the seminars of the senior year, and one or. two addi
tional papers based upon the course which the student has
taken, the number of the papers and their subjects to be deter
mined by the faculty of the division. (See pp. 69, 71, 73.)
43
P rocedure tor Admission
A candidate for admission to an honors division must file his
application in ihe spring of his sophomore year with the chair
man of his division, and must indicate the particular combina
tion of related subjects on which he wishes to be examined for
his degree. His acceptance by the division depends in part
upon the quality of his previous work as indicated by the
grades he has received but mainly upon his apparent capacity
for assuming the responsibility of honors work. The names of
successful candidates are announced later in the spring. The
major department will then arrange, in consultation with the
student, a definite program of subjects to constitute the field
of knowledge on which he will be examined at the end of his
senior year. That department is responsible for drawing up the
original plan of his work, for supervising his choice of seminars
in all departments and for keeping in touch with his progress
from semester to semester. The division is responsible for ap
proval of the student's original program and for any subse
quent changes in that program. Proposals for combinations of
subjects or departments not provided for in the divisional ar
rangements must be submitted by the division to the Committee
on Extra and Prescribed Work for final approval.
44
DEGREES
BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
The degree of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science are
conferred upon students who have met the requirements for
graduation as stated on pages 39 and following; 64 and fol
lowing.
MASTER OF ARTS AND MASTER OF SCIENCE
The degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science may
be conferred upon graduates of Swarthmore College or of
other institutions of satisfactory standing who spend at least a
year in residence at this College, pursuing a course of study
approved by the faculty. Each candidate for the Master's de
gree must prepare a satisfactory thesis on a subject assigned
by the professor in charge of the major subject, and must pass
a final oral examination before a committee of the faculty. In
recent years the policy of the faculty has been opposed to a c
cepting candidates for the Master's degree.
ADVANCED ENGINEERING DEGREES
The advanced degrees of Mechanical Engineer (M.E.),
Electrical Engineer (E.E.), and Civil Engineer (C.E.), may be
obtained by graduates who have received their Bachelor s de
gree in Engineering upon the fulfilling of the requirements
given below:
1. The candidate must have been engaged in engineering
work for five years since receiving his first degree.
2. He must have had charge of engineering work and must
be in a position of responsibility and trust at the time of ap
plication.
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.
4. The thesis must be submitted for approval 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.
45
FACULTY REGULATIONS
A ttendance a t C lasses an d C ollection
Members of the Faculty will hold students responsible for
regular attendance at classes.
W hen illness n ecessitates a b s e n c e from cla sses the student
should report at o n ce to the nurses or to the C o lleg e physicians.
The last meeting before vacation and the first meeting after
vacation in e a c h cou rse must be attended. The minimum pen
alty for violation of this rule is probation: for absence at
Thanksgiving, probation until the end of the semester; for
absence at Christmas, probation until spring vacation; for ab
sence at Washington's Birthday, probation until May 1; and for
absence at spring vacation, probation for the-rest of the year.
The exact definition of probation in individual cases is left to
the Deans with the understanding that it shall include atten
dance at all classes without cuts.
Absences from Collection are acted upon by the Deans as
instructed by the Collection Committee of the Faculty. All stu
dents are allowed two absences from Collection each semester.
G rad es
Instructors report to the Dean's office at intervals during the
year upon the work of students in Courses. Informal reports
during the semester take the form of comments on unsatisfac
tory work. At the end of each semester formal grades are given
in each course under the letter system, by which A means ex
cellent work; B means good work; C means fair work; D means
poor work, and E shows failure. W signifies withdrawn and
Cond. signifies conditioned in the course.
Reports are sent to parents and to students at the end of
each semester.
For graduation in General Courses, a C average is required;
for graduation in Honors work, the recommendation of the
visiting examiners. (See p. 42.)
The mark "conditioned" indicates either (1) that a student
has done unsatisfactory work in the first half of a course, but
by creditable work during the second half may earn a passing
grade for the full course, and thereby remove his condition;
46
(2) that a student's work is incomplete in respect to specific
assignments or examinations; when he completes it, he will
remove his condition.
Conditions of both types must normally be made up in the
semester immediately following that in which they were in
curred; for the removal of conditions of type (2), a date is set
at the end of the first six weeks of each semester when make
up examinations must be scheduled and late papers submitted.
Under special circumstances involving a use of laboratories or
attendance at courses not immediately available, a student
may secure permission to extend the time for making up a con
dition until the second semester following. Any condition not
made up within a year from the time it is imposed shall there
after be recorded as E, i. e., co m p lete failure, which cannot be
made up.
Exam inations
Any student who is absent from an examination, announce
ment of which was made in advance, shall be given an exami
nation at another hour only by special arrangement with the
instructor in charge of the course.
No examination in a b sen tia shall be permitted. This rule
shall be interpreted to mean that instructors shall give exami
nations only at the college and under direct departmental
supervision.
Sum m er S chool W ork
Students desiring to transfer credit from a summer school are
required to obtain the endorsement of the chairman of the de
partment concerned before entering upon the work, and after
completing the work are required to pass an examination set
by the Swarthmore department.
R esid en ce
All men students except freshmen choose their rooms in order
determined by lot. All freshmen, both men and women, are
assigned to rooms by the Deans. Upper class women have a
preferential system carried out by a committee of students and
members of the administrative staff.
47
In September, students are not admitted to the dormitories
before the day preceding registration except by special per
mission in advance from the Deans.
The College dining-room is closed during the Christmas and
spring recesses. The College dormitories are closed during the
Christmas recess. Students leaving property in any College
building during the summer recess do so at their own risk.
All freshm en must le a v e the C o lleg e im m ediately after their
last exam ination in the spring in order that their room s m ay b e
u sed b y C om m encem en t visitors.
Prohibition of A utom obiles at Sw arthm ore
By action of the Faculty, approved by the Board of Managers,
undergraduates are forbidden to maintain automobiles at the
College or in the Borough of Swarthmore. The regulation is as
follows:
Resident students are not allowed to keep automobiles on
the campus or in the Borough of Swarthmore. The rule pro
hibits equally the keeping of automobiles owned by students
and those owned by other persons but placed in the custody or
control of students. Day students may use cars in commuting to
college.
Under exceptional circumstances, a student may obtain per
mission from one of the Deans to keep an automobile in the
Borough for a limited time.
Parents an d students must realize that this regulation will b e
strictly en fo rced ; students w ho d o not o b serv e it will b e a s k e d
to w ithdraw from C ollege.
Exclusion from C olleg e
The College reserves the right to exclude at any time stu
dents whose conduct or academic standing it regards as unde
sirable, and without assigning any further reason therefor; in
such cases the fees due or which may have been paid in ad
vance to the College will not be refunded or remitted, in whole
or in part, and neither the College nor any of its officers shall
be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion.
48
EXPENSES
The charge for tuition is $400 a year, payable in advance.
The charge for residence at the College is $500 a year, of which
half is payable at the beginning of each semester. There is a
uniform laboratory and activities fee of $25 per semester, which
covers both academic and extra-curricular College activities
and supersedes all separate fees formerly charged. A deposit
of $50 is required of each student, payable in advance, to
cover incidental bills.
Charges for the year are therefore made as follows:
First semester:
Tuition ............................................................................... $400
Residence ......................................................................... 250
Deposit for incidental b i l l s .........................................
50
F e e s ...................................................................................
25
Total first semester charges ..............................
$725
Second semester:
R esid en ce........................................................................ $250
F e e s ...................................................................................
25
Total second semester c h a r g e s ..........................
275
$1000
The first payment by all students is due not later than Regis
tration Day. Bills for the first payment are mailed before the
opening of the College year, and for the second payment about
the first of January. Payments should be made by check or
draft to the order of SWARTHMORE COLLEGE. In case bills for
the first semester are not paid by November 1, and bills for
the second semester by March 1, students owing such bills may
be excluded from all College exercises.
No reduction or refunding of the tuition charge can be made
on account of absence, illness or dismissal during the year. If
a student shall withdraw or be absent from College for any
reason, there will be no reduction or refund because of failure
to occupy the room assianed for that semester. In case of illness or absence for other reasons from the College for six
49
weeks or more, there will be a proportionate reduction for
board, provided that notice be given to the Comptroller at the
time of withdrawal. Fees cannot be refunded for any reason
whatever.
Students may charge incidental bills, including purchases at
the College bookstore, laundry, telephone and room breakage,
against the $50 deposit. When this deposit has been exhausted
a new deposit will be required immediately. Any unused
balance is returned at the end of the year.
The funds used in paying for scholarships are derived from
the income of the endowment fund and are received from time
to time during the year. Students receiving these benefits will
have the amount deducted from their bill due on January 1.
Should the amount of the scholarship exceed the amount of
the January bill, it will be deducted from the"Bill for the entire
year, the balance becoming due in September.
Special students who enroll for less than the prescribed
number of courses will be charged $50 per half course.

There are three departments of Engineering: Civil, Electrical
and Mechanical. These departments cooperate^ in a program
of (1) introductory courses, taken normally by freshman and
sophomore engineers; (2) general courses, open to all students
in the College. Each department offers also its own separate
program of advanced work.
An engineering student devotes about half his time to
engineering courses; the other half he divides between basic
sciences, such as physics and mathematics, and the non-technical fields useful for a liberal education.
During their first three years, all engineering students follow
the schedule of courses outlined below. During the sophomore
year students may elect Course 8, Principles of Electrical En
gineering. Those who propose to major in electrical engineer
ing should take this course. Those students whose ability in the
field of mathematics and the natural sciences is marked, and
those who intend to go on into graduate work, should take an
additional course in mathematics in the junior year; those
students whose greatest interest lies in administration, opera
tion, or management of engineering enterprises should chose
their fourth course in the field of -economics or industrial man
agement.
All students devote their last two years: (1) to developing
their special interests; (2) to fulfilling the major requirements
of one of the departments of Engineering; (3) to certain basic
courses required of all engineers. (For details see below.)
Engineering students qualify for the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Engineering.

MAJOR IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
The curriculum for the first three years for a student who
plans to major in civil engineering is given on page 65.
The courses which must be taken in the Senior year a re :
23.
25.
41.
24.
Structural Theory and Design
Civil Engineering Option
Heat Power Engineering
Engineering Economy
Since Heat Power Engineering and Engineering Economy
are half courses, one-quarter of the student's time in the Senior
year is open, and he may elect any course in the Division of
Engineering, Division of the Social Sciences, or Division of
Mathematics and the Natural Sciences to complete his program.
This elective must receive the approval of his course adviser
and must be related to his course as a whole.
The fundamental theory of the Four Course Plan, under
which the college is operating, is that the student shall confine
68 -
his efforts to not more chan four subjects at the same time.
Therefore the two courses. Structural Theory and Design,
No. 23, and Civil Engineering Option, No. 25, are broad in
scope. Course 23 includes a review of fundamental mechanics
and continues with the computation of stresses, and the design
of structures in steel, wood and concrete. Course 25 may in
clude highway engineering, soil mechanics and foundations,
hydrology, water supply, sewage disposal and sewerage sys
tems. The subject matter is varied in content and emphasis to
meet the needs and interests of different groups. The subjects
mentioned are taken up in series, making it possible to avoid
repetition and increase the efficiency of the teaching.
HONORS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
Senior students* having completed their junior year as out
lined above, may apply to read for honors. The topics of final
examinations in civil engineering a re :
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Analytic Mechanics and Strength of Materials
Structural Theory
Municipal Engineering
Reinforced Concrete
Soil Mechanics and Foundations
The fundamental ideal of the work in honors is to encourage
each student to go as far as he is capable in some one phase
of civil engineering. He is urged to make himself familiar with
all the latest developments in that field so that he may realize
that engineering science is a living, growing profession, and
that he may well spend his best energies to further that growth.
A major in civil engineering will take eight honors examina
tions, at least three of which shall be from the above list; at
least one in electrical engineering; at least one in mechanical
engineering, and the remainder in engineering, mathematics,
physics, chemistry or the social sciences.

MAJOR IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
The general plan is that from the subjects listed above, and
by courses offered elsewhere in the college, the student will
work out a logically integrated, cognate, intensive study of one
or more phases of the theory of electrical engineering.
It is expected that a student whose major is electrical engi
neering will have taken Engineering 8 in the second semester
of his sophomore year. Other courses which must be taken to
fulfill the requirements for the Bachelor of Science with major
in electrical engineering include:
70
(1) General science subjects as listed under the general
statement oi the Division of Engineering, pages 65 ti. These
subjects are pursued in the first three years in classes with
the students in other branches of engineering, and are consid
ered the essential foundation for all persons studying applied
science.
(2) Subjects in the Divisions of the Humanities or Social
Sciences. At least three subjects not offered in the scientific
division must be taken over the period of the four college years.
The choice is optional, the only requirement being that the
three courses should form a rational whole.
(3) Additional subjects in allied scientific departments.
Advanced calculus and differential equations are required for
electrical engineering majors; in addition all or part of the fol
lowing courses will be recommended for certain students:
41. Heat Power Engineering
24. Engineering Economy
Electricity and Magnetism
Atomic Physics
(4) Major studies in electrical engineering. According to the
time available and the needs of the individual, two at least, of
the following "options" will be taken in the senior year:
31.
32.
33.
34.
35.
39.
Transients
Vacuum Tubes

Humanities is arranged, according to the needs and interests of
the student.
The following seminars are offered to prepare for examina
tions for a degree with honors: (those actually given in any

HONORS WORK
The survey course in European history, the only course open
to Freshmen (except by special permission from the depart
ment), is prerequisite to any other courses or seminars in
European or English history. Students who expect to major in
history, either in honors seminars or in regular courses, should
elect European history in the Freshman year, American and
English history in the Sophomore year. Students who expect
to include history as a minor subject in honors work
should elect European history in Freshman year, and either
American or English history in Sophomore year if possible.
Course 2, the History of England, are required for admission to
honors seminars in Modem England, and Courses 3 or 4 in
the History of the United States, is required for admission to
Honors seminars in American history, unless special permission
is obtained in advance.
Unless otherwise noted, the following seminars are offered
by the department each year to prepare for examinations for
a degree with Honors. Although an endeavor will be made to
offer in either semester any seminar desired by a sufficient num
82 -
ber of students, this will occasionally prove impossible and the
department cannot guarantee in advance the semesters in
which some seminars will be given.

ANCIENT HISTORY
Honors seminars in Greek and Roman history, conducted by
the Classics department, are open to students who major in
history. For prerequisites see the statement of that department.
83
HISTORY THESIS
For students with the major subject in history. The topic
should be selected and approved by the end of the junior year.
Whenever possible, the thesis should be based upon original
source materials.
REQUIREMENTS FOR WORK IN COURSE
Requirements for students who elect major or minor work in
history do not turn on any particular total of courses, but
rather upon the completion of such courses in history, together
with related courses in the social sciences or the humanities as,
in the opinion of the department, will facilitate a well-rounded
preparation for their comprehensive examinations. A reading
knowledge of French and some acquaintance, with the princi
ples of economic and political theory are essential for an in
telligent appreciation of history. Most graduate schools require
a reading knowledge of French, German, and Latin for any
advanced degree in history.
The comprehensive examinations for major students at the
end of the senior year are not based on particular courses
taken at Swarthmore. They include questions on (1) European
history; (2) English history; (3) American history; (4) Ancient
history. Major students are expected to answer general ques
tions in each of these fields, the standard being based on the
work of any survey course offered in the College or independ
ent reading in books recommended by the department. In at
least two of the fields students should be able to answer more
specific questions, based either on special courses taken in
the College or on special reading undertaken with the de
partment's approval. Course 14, Special Topics, is designed to
help major students in their final preparation for these exam
inations.

REQUIREMENTS FOR MAJOR AND MINOR IN COURSE
For students who intend to major in mathematics in course
the normal sequence of courses is the following: Freshman
year, courses 1, 2; Sophomore year, courses 11, 12; Junior year,
courses 14, 15; Senior year, courses 16, 17. Those who intend to
pursue astronomy as a major subject in course should have in
addition courses 1, 2 in that subject during the Freshman or
Sophomore year; advanced courses selected from the list given
above combined with work in mathematics constitute the
further requirement.
For students who select mathematics or astronomy as their
minor, the minimum of three courses should be selected from
the following: Mathematics 1, 2; 11, 12; 14, 15; 16, 17; Astron
omy 1, 2, 3. Completion of course 12 is the minimum require
ment.
Prerequisites for admission to honors seminars in mathema
tics either as a major or as a minor are the completion of
courses. 1, 2; 11, 12; the completion of the course in General
Physics; a thorough reading knowledge of French or German.
For honors work in Astronomy, completion of courses 1, 2 in
that subject is necessary in addition to the requirements indi
cated above.
Libraries and O bservatory
The astronomical part of the departmental library is located
on the first floor of the Observatory; the mathematical section
on the fifth floor of Parrish Hall. The Library contains complete
sets of nearly all the American mathematical and astronomical
periodicals, and sets (some of which are complete, some of
which are not) of the leading English, German and French
periodicals. This library receives the publications of many of
the leading observatories in exchange for the publication of
the Sproul Observatory.
89
The principal instrument of the Sproul Observatory is the
twenty-four inch visual refractor of 36 foot focal length, used
almost exclusively for photography. The instrument has been
in continuous operation since 1912 and has provided a valuable
collection of photographs which, at present, is growing at the
rate of over 2000 plates each year. The principal program of
the observatory is an accurate study of the distances, motion
and masses of the nearer stellar systems. Results of depart
mental studies are published in the Sproul Observatory publi
cations and in various scientific journals.
Advanced study in conjunction with the research program of
the observatory may. be arranged in consultation with the
director of the Sproul Observatory.
The Observatory is open to visitors on the second and fourth
Tuesday nights of each month, except thos'e Tuesday nights
that fall in a vacation period. Visitors thus have an opportunity
of seeing, in the course of a year, many celestial objects of
various types.

REQUIREMENTS
A wide experience in recreational, rhythmic and develop
mental activities is an important factor in human well-being
and happiness. Therefore this department aims to provide
opportunities for instruction and participation in sports and
dancing; to encourage appreciation of rhythm and design, of
sportsmanship, of good coordination and poise and of outdoor
activity; and finally to lay the foundations of a program that
can be continued after graduation.
Classes are kept small to insure individual attention, and
students are grouped according to ability. Ample opportunities
are given for intramural and intercollegiate competition, as
well as for public performances and demonstrations.
Freshmen, sophomores and juniors take three periods of
activity each week. These may be elected from the list below,
with the exception that freshmen are required to take one
period of swimming in the fall. Seniors may take two hours of
any activity each week without signing up for instruction
classes. All seniors are required to pass a safety test in swim
ming before graduation.
Regulation costumes should be ordered before college opens.
Blanks for this purpose will be sent out from the Office of the
Dean to all incoming students.

REQUIREMENTS FOR MAJOR AND MINOR IN COURSE
Students intending to elect psychology as major subject are
advised to take a course in philosophy and a course in biolo
gical or physical science, preferably during the freshman year,
and to acquire a reading knowledge of German. Major students
in course are expected to take Courses 1, 2 and 11, and the
equivalent of two further courses in psychology. Minor students
are expected to take Course 1 and the equivalent of two further
full courses in psychology. Courses in education will not be
credited toward a major or minor in psychology.
Education alone may not be elected as a major or minor
subject, and not more than two full courses in education will be
accepted for credit toward the bachelor's degree. The Pennsyl
vania requirements for the certification of secondary school
teachers include 21 hours of psychology and education. With
102
the exception of 6 hours of practice teaching, which must be
taken elsewhere, Swarthmore students may fulfill these require
ments by taking Courses 1 and 8 in Psychology and Courses 1,
2 and 3 in Education.
HONORS WORK
P rerequisites: Introduction to Psychology (1) is the normal
prerequisite for all honors work. This may be waived, however,
in cases of candidates who have done advanced work in
zoology and physiology, and who propose to concentrate in the
field of physiological psychology. All major students are ad
vised to take introductory work in zoology or physics and in
philosophy, and to acquire a reading knowledge of German.

REQUIREMENTS FOR MAJOR AND MINOR IN COURSE
Students in general course must complete during their four
years the following: Two courses in chemistry, one course in
mathematics, one course in physics, two courses in German (or
their equivalent), four courses in zoology. Genetics (Botany
Department) or botany may be offered as one advanced
zoology course. With permission of the department a second
109
course in physics, a second course in mathematics or a third
course in chemistry may be substituted for the fourth course in
zoology providing such a course is not being offered as part of
the minor requirement.
The departmental requirements of two courses in chemistry
and one in physics constitute a minor for zoology majors.
HONORS WORK
P rerequisites: for a major: one and one-half courses in
zoology (1, 2), one and one-half courses in chemistry (1), one
course in mathematics (1, 2), one course in physics (1), two
courses in German (1, 2) or their equivalent.
For a minor. Zoology 1. In addition seminars in Physiology
require one course in physics and two courses in chemistry.
Additional preparation in chemistry is desirable (2, 6). Fur
ther work in mathematics is recommended for those who have
ability in the subject (11, 12). The additional courses in chem
istry and mathematics are necessary for taking seminars in
those departments.
Honors students usually select four seminars in zoology and
four seminars divided between two other subjects within the
Division. Genetics or Psychology for pre-medical students may
be offered in place of one seminar in zoology.
S em inars: The following seminars prepare for examinations
for a degree with Honors:

SPECIAL AWARDS
The I v y M edal F und was created by a gift from Owen Moon,
'94. The income of the fund is used to purchase a medal which
is placed in the hands of the faculty for award on Commence
ment Day to a male member of the graduating class. The regu
lations governing the award are as follows:

Scholarships and include (a) qualities of manhood, force of character, and
leadership; (£>) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. These have
been phrased by the donor in the words "leadership based upon character
and scholarship."
(2) It is the wish of the donor that the medal should not be awarded on a
mere basis of averages. Instead, it is desired that the winner should be a
man who gives promise of distinction either in character or in intellectual at
tainments, as opposed to a man who has merely made the most of mediocre
abilities.
(31 On the other hand, it is the wish of the donor that the medal should
not go to a man who, while showing excellence in some one respect, has
fallen seriously below the standard in others.
