GENERAL STATEMENT
15
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE
Swarthmore College is situated in the Borough of Swarthmore,
eleven miles southwest of Philadelphia on the Octoraro branch of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. The College buildings and campus
occupy a commanding position upon a wooded hill not far from the
center of the town. The Delaware River is about four miles dis
tant. Two hundred and thirty-seven acres are contained in the
College property, including a large tract of woodland and the valley
of Crum Creek.
There are over twenty College buildings.
The enrollment of the College is limited to five hundred students.
The total of the College endowment is six and a half million
dollars.
The College was founded in 1864 through the efforts of members
of the Religious Society of Friends, for the purpose of securing to
the youth of the Society an opportunity for higher educational
training under the guarded supervision and care of those of their
own religious faith. According to its first charter, membership
on the Board of Managers of the College was limited to persons
belonging 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 promotion of Christian character the
first consideration, and to provide opportunities for liberal culture
while maintaining a high standard of scholarship. These aims have
been followed in the administration of the institution.
BUILDIN GS
The Isaac H. Clothier Memorial, completed early in 1931, 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 con
nected by cloisters with a suite of offices and Managers’ Rooms, and
a hall seating one thousand persons, equipped with stage and organ.
16
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
The organ was the gift of Herbert J. T ily in memory of Isaac H.
Clothier.
Parrish H all is the main building of the College. Administrative
offices, class-rooms, reception rooms, and the College dining-hall
occupy the ground floor. The upper floors in the central section
contain an assembly hall and class-rooms; in the wings, dormitory
rooms for Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior women, and an Infir
mary.
Worth Building, the dormitory for Senior women, consists of six
cottages contiguous in design but each with its own entrance and
staircase. The building was the gift of William P. Worth, 1876,
and J. Sharpless Worth, ex 1873, as a memorial to their parents.
Wharton Hall, in honor of its donor, Joseph Wharton, at one
time President of the Board of Managers, provides rooms for two
hundred men and an infirmary.
Woolman House, at Elm Avenue and Walnut Lane, is a smaller
dormitory for men students. The house and grounds were given to
the College by Emma C. Bancroft, for many years Chairman of the
Household Committee of the Board of Managers.
Science Hall, devoted chiefly to the departments of Physics,
Biology, and Education, contains physical and biological labora
tories, and notably a biological laboratory named in honor of the
late Professor Spencer Trotter, commemorating the thirtieth
anniversary of the graduation of the class of 1890.
The H all of Chemistry is equipped with laboratories, offices, a
lecture amphitheatre, and a library for instruction and research in
chemistry.
The Sproul Astronomical Observatory provides class-rooms, offices
and a library for the departments of Mathematics and Astronomy.
The astronomical equipment has been purchased from a fund given
by William C. Sproul, 1891, and is adequate for advanced research.
The department has also a Students’ Astronomical Observatory,
housed in a separate building.
The Library, in part the gift of Andrew Carnegie, contains read
ing rooms, offices, and a collection of 90,000 volumes. One wing
of the Library was given by Clement M. Biddle, 1896, in memory
of his father, Clement M. Biddle, to house the Friends’ Historical
Library. The nucleus of this collection of books on Quaker history,
religion and social reform was a gift in 1871 by a member of the
Society of Friends, Anson Lapham. The Library includes also a
museum of old furniture, costumes, etc. of Friendly interest. Of
BUILDINGS
17
especial importance is the collection of manuscript records of
Friends’ Meetings.
Hicks Hall, the headquarters of the Division of Engineering, 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 building provides mechanical and electrical
laboratories, class-rooms, offices, a library, and an auditorium.
Beardsley Hall is the engineering shop building with forge and
foundry, machine shop and wood working department.
The William J . H all Gymnasium for men contains offices,
examining room, a main exercise hall, and hand ball courts.
Somerville Hall, erected in 1893 by the Somerville Literary So
ciety, is the gymnasium for women students.
Connected with each gymnasium is a swimming pool presented
to the College by Philip M. Sharpies of the Board of Managers.
Swarthmore Field and Alumni Field for men afford football, base
ball, and lacrosse grounds and a quarter-mile cinder track. A
permanent grandstand, seating eighteen hundred persons, was the
gift of Morris L. Clothier, 1890. Additional playing fields for la
crosse and soccer and tennis courts are on the front campus.
Cunningham Field 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, and a riding ring.
The Arthur Hoyt Scott Arboretum and Botanical Garden, the gift
of Mrs. Arthur Hoyt Scott, 1896, and Owen and Margaret Moon,
is now in process of development.
The Bond Memorial Building and the women’s fraternity lodges
form with the Worth Building part of a Women’s Quadrangle.
Bond Memorial, named in honor of Elizabeth Powell Bond, for
many years Dean of the College, is a social center for all women
students.
The Cloisters is the group of lodges for the men’s fraternities.
Neither men’s nor women’s fraternity lodges are used as dormi
tories, but solely as social gathering places.
The Bartol Foundation Building, erected on the campus by the
Franklin Institute for research in Physics, is entirely independent
of the College, but makes a contribution to Swarthmore life by
bringing here a group of research physicists.
Other buildings of interest upon the campus are the Meeting
House of the Swarthmore Monthly Meeting of the Society of
18
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
Friends and the Benjamin West House, the birthplace of Beniamin
West, P.R.A.
The College provides twenty-two houses for the President and
members of the faculty.
Buildings in Prospect:
A new observatory is now being planned, part of the funds for
which have already been raised.
The Edward Martin Biological Laboratory for undergraduate
instruction and for research, the gift of an anonymous donor in
honor of Dr. Edward Martin of the Board of Managers, will be
erected in the near future.
RELIGIOUS EX ER CISES
There is a daily assembly of the College at 9.00 a . m . from
Monday to Friday, inclusive. The “ Collection” on Wednesday
is held in the Clothier Memorial; attendance of students is required.
This program, which ordinarily lasts fifteen minutes, is devoted to
addresses or musical renditions, preceded by a period of silence,
according to the Friendly tradition. On Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, and Friday there is a meeting in the Friends Meeting
House, on the campus, at which attendance is voluntary.
Students are expected to attend either Friends Meeting, held
every Sunday morning in the Meeting House, or, at the request
of their parents, the church in the borough of the religious denomi
nation to which they belong. A class to which all students are
invited is held at 10.00 on Sunday mornings for the consideration
of religious subjects.
STU D EN TS’ SOCIETIES
The following are departmental societies of undergraduates of
the College which hold stated meetings during the academic year:
the Cercle Français; the Chemistry Club; the Classical Club; the
Engineers Club; the English Club; the German Club; the Phi
losophy Club; and the Trotter Biological Society.
. The programs of these clubs include the presentation of papers
and addresses- by undergraduates and frequently by visiting
scholars and scientists. The William J. Cooper Foundation regu
larly makes financial appropriation toward the travel expenses of
these outside speakers.
s t u d e n t s ’ s o c ie t ie s , p u b l ic a t io n s

The Somerville Forum is an outgrowth of the Somerville Lit
erary Society, which was established in 1871. All women students
are active members. There is one meeting a month, for the dis
cussion of problems of vital interest to women. The final meeting
in April, known as Somerville Day, is a gathering of alumnae and
active members.
The Little Theatre Club is an organization designed to promote

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
H ON ORARY SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETIES
The Swarthmore chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the national society
for the recognition of scholarship, was organized in 1896. Each
year a certain number of students in the senior class, or the junior
class, having the highest standing are elected to membership.
The Swarthmore chapter of Sigma Tau, the national society
standing for scholastic attainment in engineering, was established
in 1917. Members are chosen from among senior or junior stu
dents majoring in civil, electrical, mechanical, general or chemical
engineering.
The Swarthmore chapter of Sigma X i, the national scientific
society for the promotion of research, was granted a charter in
1922. Students may become associate members after two and
one-half years in college provided that, in the opinion of the mem
bers of the society, they evidence promise of research ability, and
may become members after they have produced a piece of research
worthy of publication.
T H E COLLEGE L IB R A R Y
The Swarthmore College Library collection now numbers
approximately 90,000 volumes. Some 5,000 volumes are added
annually. About 456 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 east of the Asphaltum.
To meet the needs of students reading for honors, the college is
enriching its collection as rapidly as possible. As a consequence of
this growth the number of books and the number of readers are
already exceeding the facilities of the present building. The Board
of Managers is now considering plans to provide more ample
accommodations. The Library administration has arranged to
change from the Dewey decimal to the Library of Congress system
of classification to make possible more rapid and adequate classifi
cation and cataloging of new books.
Important special units of the main Library are the Appleton
collection of Classics and English literature and the Potter collec
tion of legal material. The Library is definitely a collection of
books and journals for undergraduate use. The demands of honors
work, however, make necessary the provision of large quantities
of source material not usually found in collections maintained for
T H E COLLEGE LIBRARY
21
undergraduates. It is a point of library policy to supply as fully
as it can, either by purchase or through inter-library loan, the books
needed by students or members of the faculty for their individual
researches.
Rules regarding the use of the Library and its books are reduced
to the lowest possible minimum. The few that are in force are
maintained so that the Library’s holdings may be of the greatest
benefit to each of all its users.
A trained staff of assistants is maintained to suggest and to find
the material which students need, and to be of help in any possible
way to users of the Library. The Librarian and each member of
the staff welcomes chances to aid students in making full use of the
Library’s resources. The Library is open on Mondays to Fridays,
inclusive, from 8 a .m . to io p .m ., on Saturdays from 8 a .m . to 5
p .m . and on Sundays from i p .m . to 5 p .m . and from 7 p .m . to 10 p .m .

The Friends Historical Library, founded in 1870 by Anson
Lapham, contains a valuable and growing collection of Friends’
records, books, tracts, and early writings (many very rare),
portraits of representative Friends, pictures of old meeting
houses, objects and relics of personal and historic interest, and
manuscripts relating to the Society and its history. This collection
is carefully housed in the Library, a fireproof building of stone and
steel, the gift of Clement M. Biddle in memory of his father,
Clement M. Biddle, and it is hoped that Friends and others will
deem it a secure place in which to deposit books, papers, portraits,
and other material in their possession which may be of interest in
connection with the history of the Society. Such contributions are
solicited, and should be addressed to the Friends Historical
Library, Swarthmore, Pa. The library is accessible to all persons
interested in the doctrines and history of Friends, and ample
arrangements are provided for its use for consultation and for
reference.

College in 1922 established experimentally five annual open com
petitive scholarships for men, not confined to any particular school,
locality, subject of study, or religious denomination. These
scholarships, based upon the general plan of the Rhodes Scholar
ships, are given to candidates who, in the opinion of the Selection
Committee, rank highest in scholarship and character.
The regulations under which these scholarships will be awarded
in 1932 are as follows:
The stipend of an Open Scholarship is Five Hundred Dollars a
year. Each Scholarship is tenable for four consecutive years,
subject to the maintenance of a high standing in College. All
holders of Open Scholarships must be resident students, living and
taking their meals at the College.
A candidate to be eligible must:
(1) Be more than fifteen and less than twenty years of age on
September first of the year for which he is elected.
(2) Be qualified to enter Swarthmore College with fifteen units
of credit as prescribed in the college catalogue.
(3) Not have attended another college or university.
Each candidate must secure the endorsement of the principal of
his preparatory school. Not more than two candidates may be
selected to represent any school in the competition for any one
year.
The records of all Open Scholars will be reviewed by the Com
mittee each year, the record of the first two years being especially
considered as a basis for continuing a scholarship. Open Scholars
are expected to maintain a high standard throughout the College
course. In re-awarding Scholarships vacated because of low aca
demic standing or any other reason, preference will be given to
original competitors for the appointment in question, who have
since made outstanding records in Swarthmore College.
Scholars will be selected without written* examination on the
basis of (1) their school record as shown by the material called for
in the application blank (2) a personal interview with the Selection
Committee or its representatives. Whenever possible, candidates
will come to the College when summoned, for their interviews.

Mr. and Mrs. Daniel S. White, of the Class of 1875, on the occasion
of the Fiftieth Reunion of that class, established three open com
petitive scholarships for women, in the names of Howard White,
FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
33
Jr., Serena B. White, and Walter W. Green. Each scholarship is
tenable for four years and three appointments are made each year.
These scholarships are not confined to any particular school,
locality, subject of study, or religious denomination. They are
based on the general plan of the Rhodes Scholarships, and are
given to candidates who show greatest promise in:
(1) Qualities of womanhood, force of character and leadership.
(2) Literary and scholastic ability and attainments.
Three scholarships are awarded annually, the stipend of each
scholarship being fixed at Five Hundred Dollars ($500) a year,
which covers more than half of a woman’s college expenses. Each
scholarship is tenable for four consecutive years, subject to the
maintenance of high standing in college. A candidate to be
eligible must:
(a) Be between the ages of 16 and 21 on September 1st of the
year for which she is elected.
(b) Be qualified to enter Swarthmore College with fifteen units
of credit as prescribed in the college catalogue.
(c) Not have attended another college or university.
Each candidate must secure the endorsement of the principal of
her preparatory school and not more than two candidates may be
selected to represent a particular school in the competition for
any one year.
The detailed regulations under which these scholarships are
awarded, the number of scholarships offered, and the amount of
the stipend of each scholarship may be determined by the Board
of Managers of the College, in the future, in accordance with the
funds available and the conditions which, in the opinion of the
Board, would make them most useful.
Scholars will be selected without written examination on the
basis (1) of their school record as shown by the material called for
in the application blank and (2) Personal interview with some
representative of the college. The college makes arrangements
primarily to interview candidates whose written records are out
standing. For any candidate who especially desires an interview,
one will be arranged at her request either at Swarthmore College or
in the vicinity of her own home. Application blanks duly filled out
and accompanied by the material specified must reach the Dean
of Women of Swarthmore College, on or before November 15,1932.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
References will be followed up, interviews arranged in various
parts of the country, and the awards announced about February
L 1933-
There were 134 candidates for the White Open Scholarships for
Women and the Swarthmore Alumnae Scholarship for 1931-32,
representing 25 states, the District of Columbia, India, Hawaii,
and Switzerland. Interviews with the leading candidates were
conducted in various parts of the country by representatives of
the Committee of Award. The Committee comprised President
Frank Aydelotte; Raymond Walters, Dean of the College; Frances
Blanshard, Dean of Women; Professor Ethel Hampson Brewster,
o f the Faculty of Swarthmore College; Lucy Biddle Lewis, of the
Board of Managers; and three Alumnse, Hannah Clothier Hull,
’91, Alice Smedley Palmer, ’89, and Anna Michener, T6.
Three White Open Scholarships were awarded for 1931-32:
E lizabeth B o b e tte L a n e , Tower H ill School, Wilmington, Del.
E dith M a y L en t , Erasmus H all High School, Brooklyn, N . Y .
J a n e S h er r ard L u cas , Woodstock School, Mussoric, India, and Northfield Seminary,
East Northfield, Mass.
22. The S w arth m o re A lumnas S c h o l a r sh ip , established by the
Philadelphia and New York Alumnae Clubs, is awarded on the
same basis as the Open Scholarships.
The Alumnae Scholarship was awarded to:
E lizabeth V a n A nda T homson , Ottumwa High School, Ottumwa, Iowa.
23. The E d w ard C l a r k so n W il so n S c h o l a r sh ip . A scholar
ship with a capital fund of $2,500 has been established at Swarth
more by friends of Edward Clarkson Wilson, ’91, formerly Principal
of the Baltimore Friends School. The annual value of this scholar
ship is $125. It will be awarded each year to a former student of
the Baltimore Friends School, who has been approved by the
faculty of the School, on the basis of (1) high character; (2) high
standing in scholarship. The Scholarship is open both to Freshmen
and to members of the upper classes, both to men and women of
all denominations. In any year when there is no outstanding
candidate from the students of the Baltimore Friends School, the
scholarship will be awarded to another young man or woman who
shall meet the required standards and who is approved by the
School faculty and the College.
24. The S a l l ie K. J oh n son F u n d provides $500 a year, to be
used, at the discretion of the President of the College, in granting
FELLOW SHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
35
financial aid to young women during their senior year, it being
the donor’s desire that the President must be satisfied that the
applicant is fitted to become a desirable teacher.
25. The Ivy Medal is placed in the hands of the faculty by a
friend of the College, to be awarded on Commencement Day to
a male member of the graduating class. The regulations govern
ing the award are as follows:
(1) The idea behind the Iv y Medal is in general the Rhodes Scholarship qualifi
cations including (a) qualities of manhood, force of character, and leadership;
(¿) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. This has been phrased by the
donor in the words “ leadership based upon character and scholarship.”
(2) It is the wish o f the donor that the medal should not be awarded on a mere
basis o f averages. Instead, it is desired that the winner should be a man who gives
promise o f distinction either in character or in intellectual attainments, as opposed
to a man who has merely made the most of mediocre abilities.
(3) On the other hand, it is the wish of the donor that the medal should not go
to a man who, while showing excellence in some one respect, has fallen seriously
below the standard in others.
26. The Oak Leaf Medal is placed in the hands of the faculty by
a friend of the College, to be awarded on Commencement D ay to
a young woman member of the graduating class for loyalty,
scholarship, and service.
27. The Chi Omega Economics prize of $25 is awarded each
year at Commencement to the Senior woman who has done the
best work in the department of Economics. It is given with the
hope of stimulating an interest in the Social Sciences.
L oan s
The E l lis D. W il l ia m s F u n d . B y the will of Ellis D. Williams,
a legacy of $25,000 was left to the College, the income from which
is to be used for loans to students, repayable not later than five
years after graduation, with interest at the rate of four per cent
per annum.
ADM ISSION
Admission to Swarthmore College is competitive, the basis of
selection being evidences of sound scholarship and of high char
acter.
In the determination of scholarship the factors considered are:
(1) Success in school studies, as shown by the school record.
Ranking in the highest quarter of the candidate’s class
at school is, in general, the minimum for consideration.
Good ratings in examinations of the College Entrance
36
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
Examination Board will be considered as evidence of
sound scholarship.
(a) Outside reading and activity which demonstrate genuine
interest in literary or scientific matters.
(3) The Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance
Examination Board.
Candidates for September 1933 may take the Scholastic
Aptitude Test in June, 1932.*
As to character, the qualities sought are the simplicity, moral
earnestness and idealism which have been traditionally associated
with the Society of Friends and with Swarthmore College.
Preference is given to candidates who are children of Friends
or of Alumni of the College, provided they meet in all respects
the standards set by the College for admission. I f such candi
dates do not rank in the highest quarter of their school class,
they may be given opportunity to qualify by passing certain
examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board,
including the Scholastic Aptitude Test.
The size of the Freshman class each year is determined by the
resolution of the Board of Managers which limits the total en
rollment of the College to 500 students, 250 men and 250 women.
Candidates for admission should make early application.
Record of their school work for the first three years, signed by
the school Principal, should be submitted one year prior to ad
mission. Application blanks and certificate blanks are furnished
by the Dean of the College upon request. Certificates are re
turned to the school principals in the spring for the Record of
the Senior year.
Applicants whose school records are good are invited to call
at Swarthmore College at suitable times during the year for inter
views. Persons living too far from Swarthmore to make this
possible are interviewed by representatives of the College in any
part of the United States.
The applications of women applicants must be filed by
January 1 and of men applicants by April 15.
The names of the women applicants accepted for admission are
announced as soon as possible after March 1, and the names of
the men applicants as soon as possible after M ay 1, of the year
of admission.
"The application for the Test should be addressed to the College Entrance
Examination Board, 431 West 117th Street, New York City.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
FOREIGN LAN G U AG E REQ U IREM EN TS FOR TH E
BACH ELOR OF A R TS D EG R EE
Effective, September, 1933
The attention of heads of schools and of candidates for admis
sion to Swarthmore College is called to recent action of the Faculty
changing the foreign language requirements, both for entrance to
the College and for graduation in courses leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Arts:
(1) Requirement for admission to College, beginning in
September 1933:
Five units in two foreign languages (three of one and
two of another) shall be required for entrance, with Greek,
Latin or German as one of the languages offered. Candi
dates are urged to offer more than the minimum amount of
language required in order to facilitate fulfilling the
language requirements for entrance to the Junior class.
(2) Requirements for admission to the Junior class:
Each student shall pursue in College one language to a
point equivalent to the completion of Course III (based
normally upon four years’ preparation in a secondary
school) or two languages to a point equivalent to the com
pletion of Course II (based normally on two years’ prep
aration). Admission to Courses II and III shall be de
termined by placement tests given on entrance to college.
In special cases examinations may be substituted for these
courses.
This action does not apply to the Division of Engineering. Two
units of foreign language study in secondary school are acceptable
for the admission of engineering studerits. The engineering courses,
which lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science, do not require
foreign language study in College.
ADVANCED STANDING
41
AD VA N CED STAN D IN G
For favorable consideration, applicants for advanced standing
must have had a high scholastic record in the institution from
which they desire to transfer, and must present full credentials for
both college and preparatory work and a letter of honorable dis
missal. In general, students are not admitted to advanced stand
ing later than the beginning of the Sophomore year.
Applications of women applicants must be filed by January ist.
REQ U IREM EN TS FOR GRADUATION
Swarthmore College offers (i) General courses leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Arts and to the degree of Bachelor of Science
and (2) Honors courses leading to these same degrees with Honors.
The General course requirement for the Bachelor of Arts degree
calls for 120 semester hours in prescribed and elective subjects,
with a like number of quality points. The Bachelor of Science
requirements for the Departments of Engineering and of Chem
istry are 136 semester hours, with 136 quality points. The ^pre
scribed number of hours for General students in liberal arts is 15
for each semester and for General students in engineering and in
chemistry is 17 each semester. Each candidate for graduation in
the General courses is required to select some one department as
his major and is held for comprehensive examination in his major
at the close of his senior year.
For the first two years under the Honors plan, students take
regular courses and meet the usual requirements as to prescribed
subjects and semester-hour and quality-point regulations. Then,
if they have shown ability and promise in some field of knowledge,
they may be admitted to that field for independent study and
weekly group discussions under the Swarthmore Honors plan.
Honors students are relieved from class recitations and specific
hour requirements during their junior and senior years and instead
prepare for a series of comprehensive examinations at the end of
their senior year, drawn up by external examiners. The scope and
details of the Honors plan are given on pages 45-56.
In addition to scholastic credits for graduation, all students are
held for physical training as set forth on page 44, and for
attendance at Collection exercises of the College, as stated on
page 18.
42
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
Definition of Terms. A semester hour, as used in the foregoing
statement, signifies one recitation or lecture (or its equivalent) a
week throughout one semester of 15 weeks, exclusive of the week or
more devoted to final examinations. A recitation or lecture is
regularly 55 minutes long, and the preparation of the student is
estimated at an average of two hours for each class exercise. In
the Departments of Engineering, Biology, and Chemistry a labora
tory 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.
The meaning of the term quality point is as follows: A numerical
value called a point is given to the grade letters on this basis: 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 requirement in points for graduation of students in General
courses both in liberal arts and in engineering and chemistry, is 120.
This is a requirement for liberal arts students of an average grade
of C.
Extra or Less Hours.— 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 Extra Work.
It is sometimes difficult 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 of hours may be allowed
by the course adviser. In such cases the endorsement of the
course adviser must be secured in writing on the Enrollment Card.
Students desiring to carry more than one hour in excess of the
prescribed number, or more than one hour below the prescribed
number, must make application to the Committee on Prescribed
and Extra Work on a regular form provided for the purpose by the
Dean. No student whose marks have fallen below C in any sub
ject or below B in more than one department during the preceding
semester shall be permitted to enroll for more than one hour in
excess of the prescribed number. No application of a student to
enroll for more or less than the prescribed number of hours shall be
considered by the committee unless accompanied by the written
endorsement of the course adviser.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
43
P r e s c r ib e d S u b je c t s
The curriculum prescribed for the A.B. degree, effective with
the class entering Swarthmore in September, 1927, provided that,
in place of a quantitative requirement of hours, there is a quali
tative standard of attainment in subjects considered essential to a
liberal education. Students who pass examinations set to test
proficiency in prescribed subjects are excused from specifically
required courses and allowed to devote the hours thus released to
more advanced work.
The plan affords flexibility in the work of the first two years in
order to meet individual needs of students, especially of those who
have done superior work in good schools.
I.
Prescribed. Studies.— These studies are to be taken by all
students for graduation, except in cases where unusually well
qualified students gain exemption by examination. The whole of
the first year is normally 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 department.
Group 1. English.— Six hours of reading and writing known
as Introductory English, or, for students who pass at entrance to
College an examination set to test proficiency in English, six hours
of free electives in English or foreign literature or the Fine Arts.
Group 1. Foreign Languages.— (a) proficiency in one foreign
language (Greek or Latin or French or German) or (b) a reading
knowledge of two foreign languages, one of which must be Greek or
Latin or French or German. Spanish or Italian may be presented
as the second language.
(a) Proficiency.
The degree of proficiency required is the ability to read and
translate with facility average works of reference; to write simple
prose and (in the case of modern languages) to understand and
reply to questions in the language. Such proficiency may be gained
by students
(1) Who have had an excellent training in the language in a
good secondary school or elsewhere for four years or more
and who give evidence of this by passing creditably an
examination set upon entrance to College: or
44
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
(2) Who pass examinations of equivalent difficulty after one
or more years of advanced College work.
(b) Reading Knowledge.
B y reading knowledge is meant ability to read and translate
simple stories and to consult effectively works of reference in the
two foreign languages offered. The measure of reading knowledge
required may be gained by students
(1) Who have had a thorough training in the language in a
good secondary school for two years or more, and who give
evidence of this by passing creditably an examination set
upon entrance to College: or
(2) Who pass creditably in College examinations set to test
their reading knowledge as defined above.
Group 3. Twelve hours in the following departments: History,
History of Religion and Philosophy, Economics, Political Science,
Education, Fine Arts, and Music. (The requirement is nine hours
for students in Engineering and in Chemistry.)
Group 4. Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Physics.— Six hours, to
be taken in any one of the departments, and to include at least one
credit-hour of laboratory work throughout a year.
Group 5- Physical Education.— For the prescribed amount of
work in this department, see the statements under the Department
of Physical Education.
Students who fail in the required courses of the freshman year
shall enroll in these courses during the sophomore year. No
deviation from this rule will be allowed except on the written
endorsement of the course adviser, and after notification to 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 semester
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 Work on a regular form provided by the Dean for the pur
pose.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
45
II.
Elective Studies.— The remaining work required for grad
uation may be elected from any department or departments of
the College.
The following subjects are open to election, in so far as the
exigencies of the College program will permit:

Astronomy,
Botany,
Business Law,
Chemistry,
Economics,

Major Subject.— Every candidate for graduation is required
to select the work of some one department as his major. In most
cases the selection may well be postponed until the beginning of
the second year. In the department thus chosen the student must
complete 18 hours as a minimum (the prescribed work done in the
major study to be included in this minimum), and the professor in
charge may, at his option, determine the work of 36 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.
Seniors in the General courses of the College are held for final,
comprehensive examination in the field covered by the depart
ments in which they have majored; they are exempt from the
ordinary final examinations in their major subject. The final
comprehensive examinations are given preceding the ordinary final
examinations in May.
I f the major study is changed from any branch of Engineering
to a department in Arts, the number of credit hours then on
record will be adjusted to the basis of 120 hours.
HONORS W ORK
Students who have shown themselves capable of higher than
average intellectual achievement are permitted to read for the
bachelor’s degree with honors during their last two college years.
46
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
The theory underlying honors work was outlined by President
Aydelotte in his inaugural address at Swarthmore College on Octo
ber 22, 1921, as follows:
“ We are educating more students up to a fair average than
any country in the world, but we are wastefully allowing the
capacity of the average to prevent us from bringing our best
up to the standards they could reach. Our most important
task at the present is to check this waste. The method of
doing it seems clear: to give to those students who are really
interested in the intellectual life harder and more independent
work than could profitably be given to those whose devotion
to matters of the intellect is less keen, to demand of the former,
in the course of their four years’ work, a standard of attain
ment for the A.B. degree distinctly higher than we require
of them at present. . . . With these abler students it
would be possible to allow them to specialize more because
their own alertness of mind would of itself be sufficient to
widen their intellectual range and give them that acquaintance
with other studies necessary for a liberal point of view. . . .
Our examinations should be less frequent and more compre
hensive, and the task of the student should be to prepare him
self for. these tests through his own reading and through the
instruction offered by the college.”
Honors work is offered in four divisions and is under the super
vision of committees of the departments which compose those
divisions. Small groups of students meet their instructors for
weekly conferences; in scientific subjects they may spend much
additional time in the laboratory. The work is so planned that a
student takes not more than two subjects in any one semester. He
devotes half the time of his two years of honors work to the subject
of his major interest and divides the other half between two related
subjects within his division, unless special exceptions are permitted
under the rules of his division or are approved by the Instruction
Committee of the Faculty.
Honors students are excused from ordinary examinations and
class requirements and their work is not graded from semester to
semester. Instead, they are expected to spend their time in master
ing a definitely outlined field of knowledge, and at the end of their
senior year to take written and oral examinations given by exami

ners from other institutions.* Upon the recommendation of these
examiners candidates are awarded the bachelor’s degree with
honors, high honors, or highest honors. In the case of a candidate
whose work is not, in the opinion of the examiners, of sufficiently
high quality for honors, his examination papers shall be returned to

the division concerned. The division shall consider the papers as
a substitute for the comprehensive examination required for de
grees in course and shall determine on the basis of these papers and
a supplementary oral examination whether or not the candidate is
entitled to the 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
on the recommendation of their division, take examinations set by
their instructors and receive an appropriate number of semester
hours of credit for the work they have done while reading for
honors.
Honors work is offered in four divisions. Lists of subjects ac
cepted for examination in these divisions, and special rules for
combinations of subjects, will be found below under the names of
the departments which offer honors work.

A t least half of the student’s time must be devoted to his major
subject, the remainder to be distributed between the two other

and of the department in question, related minor work may be per
mitted in one of the departments included in the Division of
Mathematics and the Natural Sciences or in the Division of the
Social Sciences.
PRO CEDU RE FOR AD M ISSION TO HONORS W ORK
A candidate for admission to an honors division must file his
application in the spring of his sophomore year with the chairman
of the department responsible for the subject in which his major
interest lies, and must indicate the particular combination 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 seeming 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 approval 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 arrange
ments must be submitted by the division to the Instruction Com
mittee of the Faculty for final approval.

COURSE AD VISERS
The course advisers of Freshmen and Sophomores are the Dean
of the College, the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women, in
cooperation with the Chairmen of Departments in which the
students are majoring. For General students in the Junior and
Senior classes, the advisers are the professors in charge of the
subjects they have selected as majors; and for Honors students
the advisers are the Chairmen of their Honors divisions.
A student who has chosen his major will plan his course with
the aid of one of the Deans and of the Chairman of his Major
Department, both of whose signatures must appear on his regis
tration card. Until a student chooses a major he is advised by
one of the Deans.
E X T R A W ORK DONE O U TSID E 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 of the course adviser. All students except
those desiring credit for intercollegiate debating must gain per
mission of the Committee on Prescribed and Extra Work before
the work is entered upon.
SUM M ER SCHOOL W ORK
Students desiring to transfer credit in a prescribed subject from
a university summer school are required to obtain the endorsement
of the head of 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.
All 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 making up the
condition may be extended to the second semester following in
case (i) the course for which the condition was imposed was not
58
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
repeated until said second semester, and (2) it is considered
necessary by the professor that the student should make up part
or all of the class or laboratory work involved at the time the
course is repeated. Any condition not made up within a year
from the time it is imposed shall thereafter have the effect upon
the records of an E, i. e., complete failure, which cannot be
made up.
SYSTEM OF GRADES
Instructors report to the Dean’s office four times a year upon
the work of students in the General Courses. A t mid-semesters
the reports simply indicate Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory. A t
the end of each semester formal grades are given in each course
under the letter system, by which A means excellent work; B
means good work; C means fair work; D means poor work, and
E shows failure. JV signifies withdrawn and Cond. signifies con
ditioned in the course.
Reports are sent to parents four times a year, and to students
at mid-semesters and at mid-year.
The mark “ conditioned” shall be reported for only two rea
sons: (1) for unsatisfactory work in a semester course in which
the condition may be removed by doing satisfactory work either
in another semester course which involves the subject-matter of
the first course or in the second semester of a year’s course; (2)
when the work of a course is complete; that is, when the work
done in the course is satisfactory with the exception of a small,
definite part of it; for example, the writing of a theme, the read
ing of an assignment, or the taking of 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 student will then be notified by the Dean of the
terms of the conditions.
ABSEN CES FROM EX A M IN A T IO N
Any student who is absent from an examination, announce
ment of which was made in advance of the date of the examina
tion, shall be given an examination at another than the scheduled
ABSENCES FROM CLASSES
59
hour only after presentation by the student to the instructor in
charge of the course of a certificate from the Committee on
Absences that the student has submitted a written statement
satisfactorily explaining the cause making the absence from
examination imperatively necessary.
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 offices of the Dean.
All powers of supervision and discipline over student absences
are vested in a Committee on Absences to be composed of the
Dean of the College, the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, ex
Officio, and other faculty members appointed annually by the
President of the College, who shall designate the Chairman of
the Committee from among its members.
The absence regulations for 1931-32 are as follows:
1. The following allowances must cover absences for all causes,
including short periods of illness, except that one-half absences
shall be counted for each hour of absence due to representing
the College away from home on athletic and debate teams.
2. Each student shall be allowed as many absences from class
in each course per semester as there are hours in that course, i. e.,
three absences for a three-hour per week course, two absences
for a two-hour per week course.
3. Any student with an average of 2.3 or above shall be allowed
double this number of absences; this ruling is to become effective
the semester following the recording of the grades in the Dean’s
Office.
4. A t its discretion the Absence Committee may excuse absen
ces in excess of two-thirds the allowed number, when such absences
are due to prolonged illness.
5. A student absent from his last schedule class before any holi
day or vacation, or absent from his first scheduled class after any
holiday or vacation, shall be required to make one hour credit
for graduation in addition to the requirements as stated in the
College Bulletin.
60
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
6. Each unexcused absence in excess of the number allotted
for each course under the proposed system shall be penalized by
the loss of one hour’s credit toward graduation.
7. All excuses for absence shall be acted upon exclusively by
the Absence Committee.

Professor Hull.
By special appointment, and with seminar credits
This work is done, not in the regular undergraduate courses (except in connection with
Course 8), but in individual conference with the instructor. It includes studies in Quaker
biography and literature, and in Quaker solutions of social problems.
A statement of the Honors work in this department is given on
page 54.
Requirements for students who major in history do not turn
on any particular total of credit-hours, but rather upon the com
pletion of such courses in history, together with related courses
in the social sciences, literature, philosophy, the fine arts, etc.,
as, in the opinion of the department, will facilitate a well-rounded
preparation for the Comprehensive Examinations in history. A
reading knowledge of French and some acquaintance with the
principles of economic theory are essential for an intelligent appre
ciation of history. Most graduate schools require a reading knowl
edge of French, German, and Latin for any graduate degree in
history.
The Comprehensive Examination for major students at the end
of their Senior year includes questions on the following topics:
(1) European History (2) British History (3) The History of
the United States (4) The Origins of Civilization and Ancient
History. Major students are expected to answer general ques
tions in each of these fields, and more specific questions in at
least two of the fields. They should know something of the
principles of historical method and the development of historical
thinking and writing. A seminar is offered in Senior year in which
these last topics are considered, in connection with special indi
vidual work in the source-materials for some one historical problem.
The survey-course in European History, the only course open
to Freshmen (except by special permission from the department)
is a prerequisite for any of the other courses in European or
English History, and for any Honors seminars in history. Students
who expect to major in history, in Honors seminars or regular
courses, should take European History in the Freshman year,
American and English history in the Sophomore year. Students
who expect to include history as a minor subject for Honors should
take European History in Freshman year, and either American or
English history in Sophomore year.

A statement of the Honors work in this department is given on
page 54.
. Students who contemplate majoring in mathematics or reading
for Honors in the Division of Mathematics and the Natural
Sciences should take courses 1, 3 and 4 in their Freshman year.
They should also acquire a reading knowledge of French and Scien
tific German, if possible, before the beginning of their Junior year.
Graduate courses are offered in the department. These are
given from time to'time in accordance with the needs of the in
dividual student.
A department library is located on the first floor of the Observa
tory. It contains about 3,000 volumes. It is reasonably supplied
with standard treatises, particularly those published in the last
two decades. It contains complete sets of nearly all the American
mathematical and astronomical 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 publica
tions of many of the leading observatories in exchange for the
publications of the Sproul Observatory.
The equipment of the observatory is best suited for astrometric
and kindred problems. The various eclipse expeditions from the
Observatory have yielded considerable eclipse data.
The teaching staff is at present devoting as much time as is
consistent with their teaching duties to studies in stellar parallax
with the 24-inch telescope, to photography with the 9-inch doublet,
and to the study of eclipses of the sun. Students interested in any
of these problems may work with advantage in conjunction with
one of the professors. Results of departmental studies are
published in the Sproul Observatory publications and in various
scientific journals.
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. Visitors thus have an opportunity of
seeing, in the course of a year, many celestial objects of various
types.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
MUSIC
1. Music, History and Analysis. Director Swan.
T h ree h ou rs w eekly throu g h o u t th e y e a r .
The purpose of this course is, on the one hand, to show the close connection of music,
in its manifold aspects, with the general progress of western culture, and on the other, to
give the student a thorough practical knowledge of the foundations upon which musical
works of art are constructed. The period of history treated is from about a . d . 600 to 1800,
and the analysis comprises folk songs, plain chant and the songs of the troubadours (melody,
time, rhythm, mode), the vocal music of the Flemish, Italian, and English schools (poly
phony), and the instrumental music from Monteverdi to the later Haydn (harmony, form).
No previous acquaintance with musical theory or practice is required for this course, and
such technical matters as are necessary for the study of the scores are taken up at the
outset.
2. Music, History and Analysis. (Advanced course.) Director Swan.
T w o h o u rs w eekly th rou g h o u t th e y e a r .
This course is devoted to the study of the 19th century: Beethoven, the beginnings of
Romanticism (Weber and Schubert), Leipzig at the time of Schumann and Mendelssohn,
national currents (Chopin, the Neo-Russian school, Verdi) and Brahms.
As an alternative to Music 2 the following semester courses may be given:
3 (a). Beethoven. Director Swan.
T w o h ou rs w eekly , f i r s t sem ester.
This course is devoted to a detailed study of the piano sonatas, string quartets, and
symphonies of Beethoven. It is essentially an analysis of musical forms, but it also involves
a parallel study of the life of the great Viennese master and of the society in which he
moved.
3 (h). History o f Russian Music. Director Swan.
Tw o h ou rs w eekly , sec o n d sem ester.
This course contains a brief survey of the Russian folk-song and its connection with the
various periods of Russian history from pagan times (A.D. 950), through the Tartar
domination, the supremacy of Moscow to Peter the Great: the Italian influence under the
Empresses, and the birth of Russian art music in 1836: its subsequent efflorescence and
influence on Europe.
Prerequisite to all the advanced courses in music is Music 1, or a thorough knowledge of
the classical forms, as used by Beethoven’s predecessors.
The musical organizations of Swarthmore College— the mixed
chorus, orchestra, and glee club— are designed for the purpose of
giving the students a first hand experience of the best music. By
frequent performances of madrigals, folk-songs, symphonic music,
and opera the students obtain an inside view of a work of art,
which is an invaluable supplement to their theoretical studies in
this field. These performances also serve to refine their general
taste in artistic matters.

the more significant types of religious experience; the study continues with an attempt to
elicit the meaning of these experiences for a systematic philosophy.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
99
Advanced work in philosophy is done chiefly through honors
seminars. The possibilities for such work are outlined on page 55.
For use in connection with the courses in the history of religion,
there is a small museum, a large supply of lantern slides, and an
adequate equipment of maps, charts, and pictures. Some of the
largest of all archaeological collections are near enough to be
visited by Swarthmore students.

12. Comparative Neurology.
Mr. Thompson.
A laboratory course in comparative neuro-histology with special reference to the nervous
system of man. Second semester, every other year. Prerequisites, courses 1, 7 and 8.
A statement of the Honors work in this department is given on
page 56.
The foregoing courses are designed to meet the needs of students
who are primarily interested in gaining a rather general view of
zoology and physiology, as well as those who desire a more thor
ough and comprehensive training in preparation for the life of a
professional zoologist, for secondary school teaching, or graduate
study in medicine, physiology or zoology.
Courses i-A, 2-A, 3, 4, 5 and 6 have been arranged to satisfy
the needs of the general student and do not assume the necessity
for giving a training in preparation for more advanced courses.
They aim to give training in scientific methods and to present a
complete view of the subject which must therefore be lacking in
detail. Courses i-B and 2-B are for those students who plan to
take advanced work in the department and are therefore able to
sacrifice some breadth in these beginning courses for the more
important details that are necessary as a foundation for the later
work.
It is assumed that those students who desire to specialize in
this field will, as a rule, be sufficiently able and interested to avail
104
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
themselves of the unusual opportunity for advanced work offered
by the Honors Courses in Physiology-Zoology. For those who do
not elect to do so a number of advanced courses of a fundamental
nature are offered each year. These courses are usually offered in
alternate years and it is therefore important that students plan
their program a year in advance.
A t the present time the department occupies the east wing of
Science Hall. The elementary laboratories are equipped with
modern apparatus for experimental work in all of the fields of
physiology and zoology and offer unusual facilities for individual
work. The advanced and research laboratories are being developed
to meet the needs of the Honor and graduate student and are being
equipped for work in all phases of the several sciences. Due to
close relationships with the Departments of Physics and Electrical
Engineering the available electrical equipment is unusually fine
and offers exceptional opportunities for work in electro-physiology.
The departmental library contains a large collection of modern
works in these fields and complete files of the leading American
and English journals.
