SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
SW A RTH M O RE CO LLEG E
Sfvarthmore College is situated in the Borough of Swarthmore,
eleven miles southwest of Philadelphia on the Octoraro branch of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. T w o hundred and thirty-seven acres
are contained in the College property, including a large tract of
woodland and the valley of Crum Creek.
T h e College was founded in 1864 through the efforts of members
of the Religious Society of Friends, for the purpose of securing to
the youth of the Society an opportunity for higher educational train
ing under the guarded supervision and care of those of their own
religious faith. According to its first charter, membership on the
Board of 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 since 1 9 1 1 has been omitted from the
revised charter. T he intention of the founders was to make the pro
motion of Christian character the first consideration, and to provide
opportunities for liberal culture while maintaining a high standard of
scholarship. These aims have been followed in the administration of
the institution.
T h e enrollment of the College is limited to approximately five hun
dred students. T he endowment is seven and a half million dollars.
B U I L D IN G S A N D G R O U N D S
The Isaac H . Clothier M em orial is the gift of M rs. 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. T he 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 . T ily in memory of Isaac H . Clothier.
Parrish H a ll is the main building of the College. Administrative
offices, class-rooms, reception rooms, and the College dining-hall

occupy the ground floor. T he upper floors in the central section
contain a social hall, class-rooms, offices, and a laboratory; in the
wings, dormitory rooms for Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior women,
and an infirmary.
Worth H all, the dormitory for Senior women, consists of six
cottages contiguous in design but each with its own entrance and
staircase. T h e building was the gift of W illiam P. Worth, 1876,
and J . Sharpless W orth, ex-1873, as a memorial to their parents.
Woolman House, at Elm Avenue and W alnut Lane, is a smaller
dormitory for women 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.
Wharton H a ll, named 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.
Three Dormitories for M en have been added through the purchase
of buildings from the old Swarthmore Preparatory School. They stand
on Chester Road, adjacent to the College Soccer Field.
T w o other buildings, also purchased from the Swarthmore Pre
paratory School, w ill be ready for use by the College in the near
future.
Science H a ll, devoted chiefly to the departments of Physics and
Biology,' contains physical and biological laboratories, 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 a ll of Chemistry is equipped with laboratories, offices, a
lecture amphitheatre, and a library for instruction and research in
chemistry.
T h e Sprout Astronomical Observatory houses the astronomical
work of the department of Mathematics and Astronomy. The astro
nomical equipment has been purchased from a fund given by W illiam
C. Sproul, 18 9 1, and is adequate for advanced research. The depart
ment 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 100,000 volumes. An addition pro
viding storeroom for 150,000 volumes has been erected in 1935. One
wing of the Library was given by Clement M . Biddle, 1896, in mem
ory 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 18 7 1 by a member of the
Society of Friends, Anson Lapham. T h e Library includes also a
museum of old furniture, costumes, etc., of Friendly interest. O f
especial importance is the collection o f manuscript records of Friends
Meetings.
Hicks H a ll, 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 civil, electrical and mechan
ical laboratories, class-rooms, offices, a library, and an auditorium.
Beardsley H a ll is the engineering shop building with forge and
foundry, machine shop and wood working equipment.
The F ield House for men has recently been completed. It was de
signed by Robert E . Lamb, of the Board of Managers. Its dimen
sions are 3 15 feet by 1 1 5 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. T he building also has a running
track, tennis court, and rooms for wrestling and boxing.
T he W illiam J . H a ll Gymnasium for men contains offices, exam
ining room, a main exercise hall, and hand ball courts.
Somerville H a ll, 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 F ield and Alum ni F ield for men afford football, base
ball, and lacrosse grounds and a quarter-mile cinder track. A per
manent grandstand, seating eighteen hundred persons, was the gift
of M orris L . Clothier, 1890. Additional playing fields for lacrosse
and soccer and tennis courts are on the front campus.
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.
T h e Arthur H oyt Scott Horticultural Foundation, the gift of
M rs. Arthur Hoyt Scott, 1896, and Owen and M argaret Moon,
is now in process of development.
Bond M em orial H a ll and the women’s activities lodges for class

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 m€n’s fraternities.
These lodges are used not as dormitories, but solely as social gathering
places.
T h e 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 Friends and
the Benjamin W est House, the birthplace of Benjamin West, P .R .A .
The College provides twenty-two houses for the President and
members of the faculty.

Most student activities are conducted in cooperation with mem
bers of the faculty. They range from -informal groups for the dis
cussion of religious and social problems to clubs and other similar
organizations for the production of plays and concerts or the publica
tion of magazines.
Departmental clubs of undergraduates which hold stated meetings
during the academic year include: the Cercle Français, the Chemistry
Club, the Classical Club, The Engineers Club, the German Club and
the Philosophy Club. T h e programs of these clubs give the oppor
tunity for the presentation of papers and addresses by undergraduates
and frequently by visiting scholars and scientists.
T h e Somerville Forum is an outgrowth of the Somerville Literary
Society, which was established in 18 7 1. A ll women students are ac
tive members. The organization holds open meetings devoted to music,
art, and drama. T h e final meeting in April, known as Somerville
Day, is a gathering of alumnae and active members.
The Swarthmore College Orchestra and M ixed Chorus present
musical and dramatic programs in the College and outside. The
Swarthmore College Glee Club, a men’s chorus, gives concerts in
various cities under alumni auspices. There are also informal groups
of those interested in singing and in instrumental music.
Similar groups meet regularly for work in the graphic and plastic arts.
In cooperation with the staff of The Manuscript, student literary
quarterly, a group meets weekly for the reading and discussion of
original work.
The Little Theatre Club is the controlling center of the College
dramatic program. It plans and supervises the year’s activity, which
includes three long plays and two bills of one-act plays. Participation
in any branch of these productions is open to all students, except that
Freshman women are not permitted to act in a public performance
during their first semester in College. Informal classes in stage make
up and in acting are held each week, and are open to anyone. Play
writing is encouraged by a contest held every spring for original oneact scripts. A bill is selected for production from the manuscripts
submitted, and the playwrights are given the benefit of competent pro
fessional criticism. This year for the first time an experimental group
will build a model stage for the study of stage constructions.
Students interested in woodworking, metal working, printing, and
other crafts have the use of shops at regular hours under supervision.

The Benjamin W est Society is made up of alumni, students, mem
bers of the faculty, and friends of Swarthmore who have a concern
for art at Swarthmore.
The name of the Society has special significance because West,
himself a distinguished artist, and the founder of American painting,
was born on the Swarthmore campus.
It is the double purpose of the Benjamin W est Society to form,
by gift and purchase, art collections which shall be the permanent
possession of the college and, from time to time, to bring to the
college art exhibits and distinguished lecturers on art. The Society
hopes ultimately to have a building wherein its collections, already
considerable in number and good in quality, may be exhibited appro
priately.
Officers of the Association for the year 1936-37 are as follows: Presi
dent, Frank Aydelotte; Vice-Presidents, Charles F . Jenkins, Alice
Sullivan Perkins; Secretary, Florence W ilcox; Treasurer, Leonard
C. Ashton; Director, Frederic N . Price; Curator, Alfred M . Brooks.

T he Swarthmore College Library now numbers approximately
100,000 volumes. Some 5 >ooo volumes are added annually. About
600 periodicals are received regularly. The general collection, in
cluding all but the scientific and technical books and journals, is
housed in the Library building, situated on the front campus.
T o meet the needs ol students reading for honors, the college is
enriching its collection as rapidly as possible. As a consequence of this
growth, it became necessary recently to build an addition contain
24
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
ing stacks for 150,000 volumes. Former stack rooms in the main library
building have been converted into reading rooms for students and
work rooms for the Staff. The Library administration is changing
from the Dewey decimal to the Library of Congress system of classi
fication to make possible more rapid and adequate classification and
cataloguing 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. T he Library is definitely a collection of books
and journals for undergraduate use. T he demands of honors work,
however, make necessary the provision of large quantities of source
material not usually found in collections maintained for undergradu
ates. 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 stu
dents or members of the faculty for their individual research.
Rules regarding the use of the Library and its books are reduced
to the minimum. The few in force are maintained so that the Library’s
holdings may be of the greatest benefit to all users.
The Librarian and each member of the staff welcome chances to
aid students in making full use of the Library’s resources. T h e L i
brary is open on Mondays to Saturdays, inclusive, from 8 a .m . to
10 P.M., and on Sundays from 2 p .m . to 6 P.M., and from 7 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 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 w ill deem it a secure place in which to deposit
books, papers, p&rtraits, 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 His
torical Library, Swarthmore, Pa. The library is accessible to all per
sons interested in the doctrines and history of Friends, and ample ar
rangements are provided for its use for consultation and for reference.

ship with an annual value of $ 12 5 has been established at Swarthmore
by friends of Edward Clarkson Wilson, ’9 1, formerly Principal of
the Baltimore Friends School. It w ill be awarded each year to a
former student of the Baltimore Friends School, who has been ap
proved by the faculty of the School, on the basis of ( 1 ) high charac
ter; (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 outstand
ing candidate from the students of the Baltimore Friends School, the
scholarship w ill 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.

of a teacher to be preferred as the beneficiary, but in all other respects

cretion of the College.” T he value of this scholarship is approximately
$67.50 annually.
27. Additional honorary and “ working scholarships” are awarded
annually by the College from general funds. Students should apply
for these scholarships between April and June of the year before they
wish to receive an award. M en should file their applications with the
Dean of M e n ; women, with the Dean of Women. In making awards
the Committee recognizes both high scholastic standing and definite
financial need.
“ W orking scholarships” are approximately half earned and half
honorary. Recipients are asked to assist in one of the college offices,
in the Library, or in the Bookstore for the number of hours a week
in which they could normally earn half their scholarships. An award
of $ 10 0 demands a maximum of four hours of work a week.

The Ivy M edal Fund 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 Commencement Day
to a male member of the graduating class. T h e regulations governing
the award are as follows:
( 1) The idea behind the Ivy Medal is in general the Rhodes Scholarship
qualifications including (a) qualities of manhood, force of character, and
leadership; (b) literary and scholastic ability and attainments. This has been
phrased by the donor in the words “ leadership based upon character and
scholarship.”
(2) It is the wish of the donor that the medal should not be awarded on a
mere basis of averages. Instead, it is desired that the winner should be a man
who gives promise of distinction either in character or in intellectual attain
ments, as opposed to a man who has merely made the most of mediocre
abilities.
(3) On the other hand, it is the wish of the donor that the medal should
not go to a man who, while showing excellence in some one respect, has fallen
seriously below the standard in others.
T h e Oak Leaf M edal was established by David Dwight Rowlands
of the Class of 1909. It was later permanently endowed in memory
of him by Hazel C. Rowlands, ’07, and Caroline A . Lukens, ’98.
The medal is placed in the hands of the faculty to be awarded each

loyalty, scholarship and service.
The M cCabe Engineering Award, founded by Thomas B . M c
Cabe, 19 15 , is to be presented each year to the outstanding engineering
student in the Senior Class. T h e recipient is chosen by a committee
of the faculty of the Division of Engineering.
The A . E d w a r d N e w t o n L i b r a r y P r i z e , endowed by A . Edward
Newton, to make permanent the Library Prize first established by
W . W . Thayer, is awarded annually to that undergraduate who, in
the opinion of the Committee of Award, shows the best and most in
telligently chosen collection of books upon any subject. Particular
emphasis is laid in the award, not merely upon the size of the collec

the owner’s knowledge of their subject-matter.
The K a t h a r i n e B . S ic a r d P r i z e , given by the Delta Gamma

In considering the application of each • candidate the Committee
w ill study his, or her, school record, recommendations, and all avail
able results of tests and examinations which indicate achievement and
promise. High ranking in the graduating class or good ratings in the
College Entrance Examination Board examinations will be regarded
as important evidence of aptitude for college work. Strong intellec
tual interests and the promise of excellence in some particular direc
tion w ill receive more consideration than a record which shows a
higher average without promise of unusual ability in any one field.
In addition, the Committee w ill place emphasis on the character and
purpose of the candidate, together with good health, interest in recrea
tional pursuits, and leadership in school life. T he qualities of char
acter sought are the simplicity, moral earnestness and idealism which
have been traditionally associated with the Society of Friends and
with Swarthmore College. First consideration w ill be given to chil
dren of Friends and Alumni of the College; those who rank high
in their graduating class w ill be assured of admission; those who do
not rank high w ill be considered under the terms of the selective
process described above.
A ll members of the Freshman Class are required to take the Scho
lastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board for
the purpose of educational guidance, although the results of this test
are not at present used as a basis for admission.
Candidates for admission should make early application, women
preferably before January 1 and men preferably before April 15. If
possible, records of school work for the first three years, signed by
the school Principal, should be submitted one year prior to admission.
Application blanks and certificate blanks are furnished by the Deans
of the College upon request. Certificates are returned to the school
Principals in the spring for the record of the senior year.
Applicants whose school records are good are asked to call at
Swarthmore College at special times during the year for interviews.
Persons living far from Swarthmore may be interviewed by represen
tatives of the College in any part of the United States or abroad.
The names of men and women applicants accepted for admission
are announced as soon as possible after M ay 1 of the year of admission.

ADVANCED STANDING
39
Candidates who have failed to file an application with the Secretary
may be admitted, upon payment to the local supervisor of a fee of
five dollars in addition to the regular fee, to all examinations except
the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Such candidates should present them
selves at the beginning of the period of registration. A candidate who
registers with the supervisor w ill receive from him a blank form of
application and an identification card which must be filled out and
handed to the supervisor for transmission to the Secretary of the
Board.
In order to exhibit their tickets of admission, to present their
identification cards, and to obtain seats in the examination room, can
didates should report for a morning examination at 8 :45 and for an
afternoon examination at i ¡45. An examination w ill close for can
didates admitted late at the same time as for other candidates. The
examinations will be held in accordance with the time (Standard Time
or Daylight Saving Tim e) observed in the local schools.
No candidate w ill be admitted to the Scholastic Aptitude Test late,
that is, after the test has begun.
T he Scholastic Aptitude Test may be taken upon the completion
of the school course or at the end of the third year of secondary school
work. Each candidate desiring to take this test, even though he is
to take no other examination, must file with the Secretary of the Board
the usual application for examination. I f the Scholastic Aptitude Test
is taken in connection with other examinations, no additional fee is
required; if taken alone, the fee is $ 10 .
A week in advance of the Scholastic Aptitude Test each candidate
who is to take the test should receive a booklet containing, with ex
planations and instructions, a specimen test, the blank spaces of which
are to be filled in by the candidate. In order to secure admission to
the test, the candidate must present not only his ticket of admission,
but also this booklet with the spaces filled in as requested.
In 1937 the Scholastic Aptitude Test will be held on June 19, the
Saturday preceding the regular examination week.

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 W ork leading to these same degrees with honors.
Four years of resident study are normally required for the comple
tion of the work leading to any of these degrees. T h e work of the
first two years for all students is in General Courses. During the
last two years, qualified students may read for Honors. T he subjects
of instruction are classified according to departments, and the de
partments are grouped into four divisions* : The Division of the H u
manities, the Division of the Social Sciences, the Division of M athe
matics and the Natural Sciences, and the Division of Engineering.
In addition to scholastic requirements for graduation, all students
are held for physical training as set forth in the statement of that
department (see pp. 95, 96) and for attendance at the Collection
exercises of the College (see p. 19 ).
Beginning in September, 1 9 3 4 , Swarthmore College abandoned the
hour credit system and undertook to measure the student’s progress in
terms of courses, each of which represents one-fourth of his time for
one year.
W O R K O F T H E F IR S T T W O Y E A R S
The work of the first two years is identical in outline for all stu
dents, although the subjects of study vary. (Exceptions in the D ivi
sion of Engineering are noted on p. 66.) Each student takes normally
during each of these two years four full courses or their equivalent.
Courses are scheduled usually for three class meetings per week, each
meeting of one hour’s duration. Seminar and laboratory periods of
longer duration may be substituted for one or more of these meetings.
Courses which are scheduled for one semester are counted as half
courses.
• F o r g r o u p in g o f d e p a r tm e n ts see p a g e 1 z.
GENERAL COURSES
41
The subjects of study during the first two years include: (a) the
minimum language requirements, as outlined below, (b) one year’s
work in each of three Divisions, Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural
Sciences, (c) prerequisites for major and minor work in the D ivi
sion of the student’s choice, and (d) electives, approved by the course
adviser.
The minimum language requirements are as follows:
1. English: Each student is expected at entrance to college to be
able to use the English language with accuracy and clarity. Any de
ficiency must be removed by special work before the beginning of the
Sophomore year.
2. Foreign languages: Each student w ill pursue in college one
foreign language (French, German, Greek, Latin, or Spanish) to a
point equivalent to the completion of Course I I I or two languages
to a point equivalent to the completion of Course II. Admission to
Courses II and I I I w ill be determined by placement tests given on
entrance to college. The standard for admission to Course II is such
as might reasonably be expected from a student who has had*two
years’ preparation in the language; the standard for admission to
Course I I I is such as might reasonably be expected from a student
who has had four years’ preparation. M ajors in English may satisfy
the requirements with French, German, Latin, or Greek (see p. 78).
German is required for majors in mathematics and the natural sci
ences, Greek, for majors in L atin ; Latin, for majors in French. Stu
dents who are thus required to begin a new language in college will
arrange if possible to do the elementary work prerequisite to admis
sion to Course I I outside their regular college work.
W ORK OF T H E LA ST TW O YEARS
The work of the last two years in General Courses must include
a major, one related minor, and electives; in Honors, the work con
sists of a major and two related minors; in both cases majors and
minors must fall in the same Division. Regulations for the degree
in General Courses and in Honors follow.
G E N E R A L C O U R SES
Each student in General Courses offers for graduation at least
four full courses or their equivalent in his major subject and at least
three full courses or their equivalent in his minor subject.
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
42
The satisfactory completion of sixteen full courses, or their equiva
lent, normally constitutes the course requirement for a degree in
General Courses. A student may carry extra work with the ap
proval of his course adviser and of the Committee on Prescribed
and Extra W ork. In addition to completing his courses, the student
must present himself at the end of his Senior year for a comprehensive
examination in his major subject, set by the faculty of the major
department.
HO NO RS W ORK'
Students who have shown themselves capable of higher than aver
age intellectual achievement are permitted to read for the bachelor’s
degree with honors during their last two college years. The theory
underlying honors work was outlined by President Aydelotte in his
inaugural address at Swarthmore College on October 22, 19 2 1, as
follows:
“ W e are educating more students up to a fair average than
any other country in the world, but we are wastefully allowing
the capacity of the average to prevent us from bringing our best
up to the standards they could reach. Our most important task
at the present is to check this waste. T h e method of doing it
seems clear: to give to those students who are really interested in
the intellectual life harder and more independent work than
could profitably be given to those whose devotion to matters of
the intellect is less keen, to demand of the former, in the course
of their four years’ work, a standard of attainment for the A .B .
degree distinctly higher than we require of them at present. . . .
W ith these abler students it would be possible to 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
comprehensive, and the task of the student should be to prepare
himself for these tests through his own reading and through the
instruction offered by the college.”
Honors 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 confer
ences; in scientific subjects they may spend much additional time in

the laboratory. T he 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 mastering a definitely
outlined field of knowledge, and at the end of their senior year to
take written and oral examinations given by examiners from other
institutions.f Upon the recommendation of these examiners candi
dates 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 com
prehensive examination required for a degree in course, and shall

A candidate for admission to an honors division must file his ap
plication in the spring of his Sophomore year with the chairman of
his major departments, and must indicate the particular combination
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 w ill then arrange, in consultation
with the student, a definite program of subjects to constitute the field
of knowledge on which he w ill be examined at the end of his senior
year. T h at department is responsible for drawing up the original plan
of his work, for supervising his choice of seminars in all departments
and for keeping in touch with his progress from semester to semester.
T he division is responsible for approval of the student’s original pro
gram and for any subsequent changes in that program. Proposals
46
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
for combinations of subjects or departments not provided for in the
divisional arrangements must be submitted by the division to the In
struction Committee of the Faculty for final approval.
C O U R S E A D V IS E R S
T he course advisers of Freshmen and Sophomores are the Dean
of M en and the Dean of Women, in co-operation with the Chairmen
of Departments in which the students are majoring. For Juniors and
Seniors the advisers are the Chairmen of their M ajor Departments.
SYST EM O F GRADES
Instructors report to the Dean’s office four times a year upon the
work of students in Courses. A t mid-semesters the reports take the
form of comments on unsatisfactory work. A t the end of each
semester formal grades are given in each course under the letter sys
tem, by which A means excellent w ork; B means good w ork; C
means fair w ork; D means poor work, and E shows failure. W sig
nifies withdrawn and Cond. signifies conditioned in the course.
For graduation in General Courses, a C average is required; for
graduation in Honors work, the recommendation of the external exam
iners. (See p. 43.)
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; (2) that a student’s work
is incomplete in respect to specific assignments or examinations, but
otherwise satisfactory; when he completes it, he w ill remove his con
dition.
Reports are sent to parents and to students at the end of each
semester.

Members of the graduating class must make up all outstanding

There are three departments of Engineering: Civil, Electrical and
Mechanical. These departments co-operate in a program of ( 1 ) in
troductory courses, taken normally by Freshman and Sophomore en
gineers; (2) general courses, open to all students in the College. Each
department offers also its own separate program of advanced work.
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 edu
cation.
During their first two years, all engineering students follow the
schedule of courses outlined below. A t the end of that time, students
are divided into two groups, “ A ” and “ B .” Group “ A ” is made up
of those whose ability in the field of mathematics and the natural sci
ences is marked, including those who intend to go on into graduate
work. Group “ B ” comprises those whose greatest interest lies in
administration, operation or management of engineering enterprises.
These two groups devote their last two years: ( 1 ) to developing
their special interests, (2) to fulfilling the major requirements of one
of the departments of Engineering, (3 ) to certain basic courses re
quired of all engineers. (For details see pp. 66; 69-72; 74, 75.)
Engineering students qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Science
in Engineering.

The courses which must be taken in the senior year are:
23.
4 1.
24.
Civil Engineering Option
Heat Power Engineering
Engineering Economy
Since Heat Power Engineering and Engineering Economy are half
courses, one-half 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 course called Civil Engineering Option, 23, is broad in its
scope. T he fundamental theory of the Four Course Plan, under which
the college is operating, is that the student shall confine his efforts to
not more than four subjects at the same time. It is felt that a man
who is to receive his degree with a major in Civil Engineering should
be familiar with the fundamentals of Railway and Highway Survey
ing, and with the design of structures in wood, steel and concrete.
T o confine the number of subjects to four and meet the condition out
lined has required the development of a new method of presenting
this material. This is done by teaching the aforenamed phases of civil
engineering in series. T he success of the plan is dependent upon small
classes composed of men who are well trained in mechanics and mathe
matics. This method eliminates repetition which occurs when the sub
ject-matter of the curriculum is presented by different men in separate
courses. T he student may spend one-half of his time in his senior
year on Civil Engineering Option, 23.

Analytic Mechanics and Strength of Materials
Structural Theory
Municipal Engineering

Soil Mechanics and Foundations
T he 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 engineer
ing. He is urged to make himself familiar with all the latest develop
ments in that field so that he may realize that engineering science is a
living, growing profession, and that he can well spend his best energies
to further that growth.

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, literature, philosophy, the fine arts, etc., as, in the
opinion of the department, w ill facilitate a well-rounded preparation
for their Comprehensive Examinations. A reading knowledge of
French and some acquaintance with the principles of economic theory
are essential for an intelligent appreciation of history. Most graduate
schools require a reading knowledge of French, German, and Latin
for any graduate degree in history.
T he Comprehensive Examination for major students at the end
of their Senior year includes questions on the following topics: ( i )
European History, (2 ) British History, (3 ) The History of the
United States, (4) Ancient History. M ajor students are expected to
answer general questions in each of these fields, and more specific
questions in at least two of the fields.
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 Fresh
man year, apd either American or English history in Sophomore year
if possible. Course 2, the History of England (or satisfactory com
pletion of special reading and other requirements set by the depart
ment), is required for admission to any honors seminar in English
history. Course 3, T h e History of the United States (or satisfactory
completion of special reading), is required for admission to any honors

fifth floor of Parrish H all. 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.
The equipment of the observatory is best suited for astrometric and
kindred problems. T he various eclipse expeditions from the Observa
tory have yielded considerable eclipse data.
T he observatory staff is at present devoting time to studies in stellar
parallax with the 24-inch telescope, to photography with the 9-inch
doublet, and to the study of the 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

1. Introduction to Music, Analysis of Musical Forms, and Historical Survey.
Mr. Swann.
Full course.
As indicated above, the purpose of the course is a three-fold one: to define and clarify
the scope of music for the average listener, to attain to a knowledge of the rudiments of
music that will enable the student to analyse such classical forms as the fugue, sonata, or
rondo, and to present the material in historical order, pointing out the place of music
and the rôle of individual composers in the successive epochs of the Christian era (up to the
middle of the nineteenth century).
2. The Swarthmore College Chorus. Mr. Swann.
The chorus is composed of 55-60 men and women. Entrance requirements are: a good
voice, a good ear, and an ability to read music. The annual concert is held in March, and,
in addition, the chorus sings at one of the Sunday Vespers. The a capella music for the
chorus is chosen from the older masters (from the later Middle Ages to Bach), with some
modern settings of folk-songs and religious chants thrown in. In conjunction with the
college orchestra the chorus performs large works of the classic masters, and opera. The
major productions of the past ten years have been one act from Vaughan Williams’ “ Hugh
the Drover,” three scenes from Rimsky-KorsakofF’s “ Sadko,” and the entire B flat major
mass of Haydn, which has also been recorded. Members of the chorus are expected to sing
freely in Latin and several modern languages. Rehearsals are held once a week with ad
ditional work before the concerts.
3. The Swarthmore College Orchestra. Mr. Swann.
The orchestra is composed of 30-35 men and women. The entrance requirement is the
ability to play intelligibly an orchestral instrument. .The orchestra’s activities are closely
tied to those of the chorus: its main function is to accompany the chords and soloists.
However, at the annual concert the orchestra performs also at least one purely orchestral
work, usually an overture. Rehearsals are held at specified times.
Note on Chamber Music.
No formal instruction in the playing of chamber music is offered, but for years the
undergraduates have been given the opportunity of gathering once a week at the home of
Professor Arnold Dresden for the purpose of playing the best classic and romantic works
of chamber music. The best players and groups on these occasions are picked to perform
at three or four Students’ Vespers.

Prerequisites: For admission to honors study in philosophy, the
requirement is at least two semester courses in die field.
Honors Subjects in Philosophy:
1. M oral P hilosophy: A seminar in ethics, systematic and historical.
Rashdall’s Theory of Good and E vil (2 vols.) is covered in detail. A
printed syllabus (75 pp.), containing lists of readings in the sources,
references in recent literature, topics for papers, and questions for
self-examination, has been prepared for this seminar.
2. G reek P hilosophy : Begins with the dawn of western philosophy in the
Milesian nature-philosophers, ends with a brief study of the Stoics and
Epicureans. The larger part of the time is devoted to a reading of
Plato and Aristotle. Included in this reading are all the major dialogues
of Plato and selections from the Ethics, the Metaphysics, and the logical
writings of Aristotle. Recommended for students of literature.
3. H istory of M odern P hilosophy: The development of modern thought
from Bacon and Descartes to Kant. If the group so desires, it may, with
the approval of the instructor, exchange a study of certain of the preKantian philosophers for a study of more recent philosophical move
ments. This seminar may appropriately be combined with work in any
of the three divisions.
4. C lassic P roblems of P hilosophy: The first half of the study is devoted
to the theory of knowledge; Montague’s Ways of Knowing is used as a
common basis and is supplemented by readings in contemporary philoso
phy. In the second half of the semester, selected problems in metaphysics
are taken for discussion, including usually the mind-body problem, the
issue between the mechanist and the vitalist, the nature of the self, the
problem of freedom, and the relation between philosophy and religion.
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

j. L ogic and Scientific M ethod: The subject is pursued from the point of
view, and from the level of difficulty, presented by Joseph’s Introduction
to Logic. Students are expected to master the manipulations of the
traditional formal logic and to supplement Joseph’s discussion of
theory by readings in Mill, Bradley, Jevons and other logicians.
6.
e s t h e t i c s : A study, partly historical, partly systematic, of the philoso
phies of beauty, including theories of tragedy and comedy, of the
sublime, and of standards of criticism. Readings in the sources, ancient
and modern; occasional visits to the art collections of Philadelphia.
Recommended for students of literature.
A
7. Social E th ics : Prerequisite, a course or a seminar in ethics. A study
of some of the pressing problems of the present time in the light of
ethical theory: political conservatism vs. liberalism; changing relations
between races, sexes, and nations; the issues presented by pacifism,
socialism, censorship, moral scepticism. Recommended for students in
the social sciences.
Philosophy is a subject that has proved particularly well adapted
to study by the honors method, and advanced work in it is done chiefly
through honors seminars.

Students majoring in physics w ill ordinarily be expected to read
for honors but in special cases the degree may be taken in course.
In either event the following courses are to be completed by the end
of the second year: two courses in mathematics, one in chemistry,
one in physics, and the second course in German. The half course in
advanced general physics is recommended.

1. General Zoology. The staff.
Full course.
Lectures, demonstrations, conferences and laboratory exercises covering the major aspects
of Zoology. Biological principles as illustrated by invertebrate animals are stressed during
the first semester. A study of vertebrate morphology and physiology with special considera
tion of the general topics of embryology, evolution, genetics and ecology forms the basis of
the work of the second semester. This qourse is designed to meet the needs of all students
intending to major or minor in Biology, as well as for majors in Psychology.
ia. General Zoology. The staff.
Full course.
This course has been developed to meet the needs of students who take Zoology in order
to meet the requirements of a laboratory science. Much the same material is covered as
in Zoology i, but the emphasis is upon the cultural rather than the professional aspects of
the science.
2. Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy. Mr. Enders.
Half course, first semester.
A course of lectures, laboratory conferences and dissection presented from the comparative
viewpoint. Dissection of several vertebrate types including the monkey is undertaken.
Prerequisite, i.
3. Elementary Physiology. M r. Scott.
Half course, second semester.
A consideration of the physiology of muscle, nerve, circulation, respiration, central nervous
system, special senses, and digestion; the treatment is designed to give a broad understand
ing of the mechanism of the vertebrate body. In the laboratory standard experiments on
living tissue are performed.
4. Embryology. Mr. Enders.
Half course, first semester in alternate years
The purpose of this course is to acquaint the student with the morphological details of the
developmental processes in vertebrates. Experimental evidence is introduced in the lectures
and conferences.
5. Invertebrate Zoology. Mr. Kille.
Half course, offered in alternate years.
A study of the structure, development, and physiology of representative invertebrates
by means of weekly laboratory and discussion periods. Field trips are made to representative
marine, fresh water, and land habitats. Prerequisite, 1.

Students majoring in Zoology may take a degree either in general
courses or with Honors. In either case there should be completed during
1 12
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
the first two years the following : One course in chemistry, one course
in mathematics, one and a half courses in Zoology, and two course’s
in German (or their equivalent). An additional course in chemistry
together with a course in physics provides a more satisfactory prep
aration.
Pre-medical students should complete two courses in chemistry, one
course in mathematics, one course in physics, and one course in zoology.
In addition to these courses major students are required to complete
two and one-half courses from the following electives during the
junior and senior years: Embryology, Invertebrate Zoology, Histology,
Genetics, Experimental Zoology, Advanced Physiology. Under cer
tain conditions a special course in Psychology or one in advanced
Botany will be acceptable.
Students who are reading for Honors take four seminars in the
department during the last two years.
For admission to minor Honors work in Zoology one full course is
a prerequisite.
The attention of students preparing for the medical profession is
directed to the necessity of fulfilling the admission requirements of
the medical school they plan to attend.
