SWARTHMORE COLLEGE
Swarthmore CoUege is situated in the Borough o f Swarthmore, eleven miles southwest o f Philadelphia on the Octoraro
branch o f the Pennsylvania Railroad. Swarthmore is connected
with Broad Street Station by nineteen inbound and twenty-two
outbound trains daily, the running time o f which varies from
twenty-one minutes on express schedule to thirty-six minutes on
the local schedule. Three trolley lines, running ears at fifteen- to
thirty-minute intervals, also connect with Philadelphia elevated
and surface lines.
The College buildings and campus occupy a commanding posi
tion upon a wooded h ill not far from the center o f the town.
The Delaware River is about fou r miles distant. Two hundred
and thirty-seven acres are contained in the College^ property,
including a large tract o f woodland and the beautiful rocky
o f Crum Creek.
There are over twenty College buildings.
The enrollment o f the College is lim ited to five hundred
v a lle y
students.
,
,
The total o f the CoUege endowment is three and one-halt
m illion doUars.
The CoUege was founded in 1864 through the efforts o f mem
bers o f the ReUgious Society o f Friends, fo r the purpose of
securing to the youth o f the Society an opportunity for higher
educational training under the guarded supervision and care
o f those o f their own religious faith. Other applicants are ad
mitted on the same terms as Friends, and nothing o f a sec
tarian character exists in the instruction or in the management
o f the CoUege. A ccording to its first charter, membership on the
Board o f Managers o f the CoUege was lim ited to persons belong
ing to the Society o f Friends. The purpose o f this restriction
was not to establish sectarian control, but to prevent forever
the possibility o f such control by any sectarian element which
might otherwise have come to be represented on the Board. This
14
SWABTHMOEE COLLEGE BULLETIN
restriction is now believed to be no longer needed and is omitted
from the revised charter. The intention o f its founders was to
make the promotion o f Christian character the first considera
tion, and to provide opportunities fo r liberal culture while main
taining a high standard o f scholarship. These aims have been
follow ed in the administration o f the institution.
BU ILDIN GS
Parrish S a il is a massive stone structure, with its central por
tion separated from the two wings by fireproof compartments.
The central building, 348 feet long and five stories high, fu r
nishes assembly room, lecture rooms, museum, parlors, dining
hall, and offices. The wings are fou r stories high. The ground
floor o f each wing is used for lecture and recitation room s; the
remaining floors contain the dormitories o f the women students.
Assistant to the Dean o f W omen and several matrons reside in
the building.
W harton H all, the dorm itory fo r young men, is named in
honor o f its donor, Joseph W harton, late President o f the board
o f Managers. The capacity o f the hall is about two hundred.
It stands in the west campus on the same ridge as Parrish H all,
and commands a view o f the Delaware R iver valley.
W orth H all, a dorm itory fo r seventy young women students,
is an attractive building o f native stone, with mottled slate roofs,
including six cottages, contiguous but distinctive in design. It
is located on the east side o f the campus, near Chester Road and
College Avenue. The building and its equipment were the g ift
o f the late W illiam P. W orth, ’76, and the late J. Sharpless
W orth, ex -’73 as a memorial to their parents.
The Science H all is a two-story stone building devoted chiefly
to the departments o f Physics, B iology and Education. It
contains physical and biological laboratories. The east wing o f
this building includes a new biological laboratory named in
honor o f Professor Spencer Trotter, commemorating the thir
tieth anniversary o f the graduation o f the class o f 1890.
The H all o f Chemistry is a red brick building, tw o stories
high, and contains a finished basement. The basement has an
assay laboratory furnished with wind and muffle furnaces, a fire
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
15
proof combustion room, a laboratory for gas analysis, a photo
metric dark room, large stock room, and cloak and toilet rooms.
On the first floor are offices, and laboratories fo r quantitative
analysis and fo r general chemistry. The large amphitheater
lecture room, seating one hundred persons and extending to the
basement, is reached from this floor. The second floor contains
the organic laboratory, the laboratory fo r qualitative analysis,
the laboratory fo r physical chemistry, the laboratory for elec
trolytic chemistry, and the library. Two balance rooms, one on
the first floor and one on the second floor, contain balances
mounted on columns built independently o f the foundations and
floors o f the building. The laboratories are equipped with all
the necessary m odem apparatus. The chemical library contains
scientific and technical books pertaining to chemistry, and com
plete sets o f five o f the leading chemical journals. Through the
generosity o f Mrs. Peter T. Berdan, the library has received a
complete set o f the publications o f the London Chemical Society,
and a set o f the Journal o f the London Society o f Chemical
Industry, presented by Mrs. Berdan as a memorial to her son,
Frederick T. Berdan, a member o f the Class o f 1890.
The Sprout Astronom ical Observatory, equipped by form er
Governor W illiam Cameron Sproul, ’91, contains nine rooms.
On the first floor are offices, a departmental library, a computa
tion room, class room, and a measuring room. On the second
floor are a lecture room seating seventy-five persons, a dark
room, and the dome room. Practically all the classes o f the de
partment o f Mathematics and Astronomy, and some classes of
other departments are held in the Observatory.
The chief instrument o f the equipment is an equatorial re
fractor o f tw enty-four inches aperture, and thirty-six feet focal
length, the mounting and optical parts o f which were made by
the John A . Brashear Co., Ltd. The mounting is m odem and
convenient, motors being provided fo r winding the clock and
moving the telescope. The driving clock is electrically con
trolled. A disc driven by a sidereal clock situated on the north
side o f the pier reads right ascensions directly. The telescope
is mounted in a dome room forty-five feet in diameter. The
dome is a steel structure covered with copper and is revolved by
16
SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN
an electric motor. The telescope is provided with the usual
oculars, helioscope, position micrometer, double-slide plateholder,
and two ray filters.
There is also a photographic telescope o f nine inches aper
ture and forty-five inches focal length, mounted after the de
sign o f the Bruce telescope at Yerkes Observatory. The instru
ment is provided with a heavy mounting, a heavy driving clock,
coarse and fine position circles, a guide telescope, and such other
accessories as make it an effective and convenient instrument.
There are also two measuring engines fo r measuring five-by
seven photographic plates. One o f these was built by Brashear,
the other by Gaertner. There is also a blink microscope.
Stephen Loines has given to the observatory a Polar Equa
torial a new, type o f telescope, designed and built by the Alvan
Clark and Sons’ Corporation. W ith this type o f telescope the
observer is enabled to make his observations while seated in a
warm room. It is housed in the Sproul Observatory.
The Observatory also possesses equipment used fo r solar
eclipse observations.
There is a twin camera consisting o f two photographic quad
ruple lenses o f six and three-quarter inch aperture and fifteen
feet focal length. W ith this instrument it is possible to make
simultaneously two photographs, each eighteen inches square.
There are three driving clocks, one a very heavy clock made by
Klages Brothers o f Pittsburgh, Pa., and two lighter ones made
by D r. H . D. Curtis o f the Allegheny Observatory. A number
o f lenses o f various apertures and focal lengths, including one
six-inch portrait lens, and one three-inch portrait lens, are used
fo r special problems.
The members o f the Observatory staff have conducted four
Eclipse expeditions:
Brandon, Colorado, 1918.
Yerbanis, M exico, 1920.
New Haven, Connecticut, 1925.
Benkoelen, Sumatra, 1926.
The Students’ Astronom ical Observatory, situated on the
campus a short distance southeast o f Parrish H all, is especially
equipped for the purposes o f instruction. It contains a refract-
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
17
m g telescope o f six inches aperture, mounted equatorially, fitted
with the usual accessories, including a position micrometer and
a spectroscope. The observatory also contains a transit instru
ment o f three inches aperture, a sidereal clock and a chrono
graph. Mounted in a room adjoining the transit room is a Milne
seismograph, presented by Joseph W harton, which records photo
graphically the E -W components o f vibrations o f the crust of
the earth. The latest addition to this observatory building con
tains the photographic telescope referred to above.
The Library Building. On the lower east campus, near the
Benjam in W est House, stands the Library, a fine specimen o f
the English Scholastic Gothic style. The Library was built and
furnished through a g ift to the College from Mr. Andrew
Carnegie and is maintained from the income on a sum sub
scribed by several friends o f the College. The building is con
structed o f local granite, with terra cotta and Indiana limestone
trimmings and was erected under the supervision o f Edward L.
Tilton, o f New York. In the second story o f the entrance tower,
is a large fireproof apartment, which contains the Friends’
H istorical L ibrary; in the third story, are placed the W est
minster chimes o f fou r bells and the Seth Thomas Clock, pre
sented to the College in June, 1910, by M orris L. Clothier, ’90,
in commemoration o f the twentieth anniversary o f the gradu
ation o f the Class o f 1890. The first floor o f the main building
contains a stack room and a large reading room finished in dark
oak. The reading room is two stories high, with a gallery round
three sides. On this gallery open the seminar rooms, and the
tower room devoted to the Friends’ H istorical L ibrary; below
are alcoves containing reference books and other books in com
mon use.
Beardsley H all is a three-story, building o f concrete block con
struction, with interior work all o f reinforced concrete. It
represents a m odem type o f factory building. The ground floor
contains the forge and foundry, the second floor the machine
shop and the third floor the woodworking department.
H icks H all, a three-story stone building, is the headquarters
o f the D ivision o f Engineering. This building was erected in
1920 and was given by Frederick C. Hicks, Swarthmore, class of
18
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
1893, and dedicated to the memory o f the H icks fam ily of Long
Island, Isaac Hicks, Elias Hicks, Benjam in D. Hicks and Alice
A . Hicks. The first floor is largely taken up by the mechanical
laboratory, and contains, in addition, instrument rooms, research
laboratory, class room, office and lavatory. The second floor con
tains the electrical laboratory, electrical research and instrument
rooms, a small drawing room fo r ju n ior and senior students,
offices and class rooms. The third floor has a large drawing room
fo r underclass work, an auditorium capable o f seating 175 stu
dents, a library containing about 1500 volumes, a class room and
offices.
The Wm. J. H all Gymnasium fo r men is a two-story stone
building. On the first floor are offices, examining room, and the
main exercise hall, a room 50 by 80 feet, equipped with appar
atus fo r individual and class work and a good court fo r basket
ball. A trophy room and running track are on the second floor.
In the basement are lockers, shower baths, a dressing room for
visiting teams, and handball courts.
Somerville H all, erected in 1893 through the efforts o f the
Somerville Literary Society, is used as a gymnasium fo r the
women. It is furnished with apparatus adapted to the Swedish
system o f gymnastics. In the basement are dressing rooms,
showers, and lockers fo r the use o f day students who take work
in the department o f Physical Education.
There are two Swimming Pools in separate stone buildings,
one fo r the women and another fo r the men. These pools were
presented to the College by Philip M. Sharpies. The building
which contains the women’s swimming pool is connected by a
corridor with Somerville H all, and the m en’s pool is connected
in like manner with the "William J. H all Gymnasium.
The H eating and Lighting Plant. A central heat, light, and
power plant is housed in a single-story brick structure, situated
south o f the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks.
Other buildings upon the campus are the M eeting-house, the
Benjamin W est House (birthplace o f Benjamin W est, P. R. A .,
erected in 1724), the President’s H ouse, the D ean’s H ouse, Cun
ningham H ouse (the residence o f the Professor o f Astronomy and
M athematics), residences fo r members o f the Faculty, a laundry

building, a lodging house for the domestic servants, and farm
building.
The Cloisters, a new development, is the group o f lodges fo r the
m en’s fraternities and the W harton Club, now in course o f erec
tion on the west campus facing W harton H all. These buildings,
o f native stone, are to be connected by cloisters.
Swarthmore F ield and Alum ni F ield provide facilities for
outdoor athletics o f the men. Swarthmore F ield comprises the
football and lacrosse grounds, and a quarter-mile cinder track
with a two hundred and twenty yards straight-away. Alumni
Field, contiguous with Swarthmore Field, provides a baseball

opinion o f the Secretary it is still possible to arrange for the
examinations requested, but only upon the payment o f an addi
tional fee o f $5.00 by each candidate concerned.
Under no circumstances will the Board accept belated applica
tions for the Scholastic Aptitude Test.
Examinations will be held in accordance with the Time (Day
light Saving or Standard) observed in the local public schools.
As no one will be admitted late to the Scholastic Aptitude Test
it is essential that candidates know in advance whether the
examinations for which they have applied are to be held accord
ing to Daylight Saving or Standard Time.
A list o f places at which examinations are to be held in June
1927 will be published about March 1. Requests that the ex
aminations be held at particular points should be transmitted to
the Secretary o f the College Entrance Examination Board not
later than February 1. The designation of the center to which
the candidate will go for examination is regarded as an indis
pensable part o f his application fo r examination.
Detailed definitions o f the requirements in all examination
subjects are given in a circular o f information published
annually by the College Entrance Examination Board. The edi
tion published December 1, 1926 was designated as Document
No. 110. Upon request a single copy o f this document will be

twenty cents, which may be remitted in postage, will he made.
A d m is s io n b y C e r t if ic a t e . Graduates o f high schools and
preparatory schools approved by the faculty and Instruction
Committee may be admitted to the College on certificate of the
principal. The faculty admits these students on trial, and re
serves the right to change their classification or to decline to
continue their connection with the College if they find them to
be insufficiently prepared. The privilege o f certificating students
may be withdrawn from any school whose pupils are found to
be deficient.
Graduation from an acceptable four years’ high school course,
or its equivalent, is required for admission to the Freshman class
and, for certificate admission, ranking in the highest quarter of
the class is necessary.
D E FIN ITIO N OF ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
I t is to be noted that the subjects included among the entrance
requirements are rated as strictly as possible according to the
time that should have been devoted to preparatory work in each.
In regard to a unit o f admission requirements, the faculty of
Swarthmore College has approved the following statement, which
has been adopted by the National Conference Committee on
Standards o f Colleges and Secondary Schools, the College En
trance Examination Board, and the Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement o f Teaching:
A unit represents a yea r’s study in any subject i/n a secondary
school, constituting approxim ately a quarter o f a fu ll yea r’s
work.
This statement is designed to afford a standard o f measure
ment fo r the work done in secondary schools. It takes the fouryear high school course as a basis, and assumes that the length
o f the school year is from thirty-six to forty weeks, that a period
is from forty to sixty minutes in length, and that the study is
pursued for fou r or five periods a week. B y this standard a
satisfactory year’s work in any subject cannot be accomplished
under ordinary circumstances in less than one hundred and
SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN
43
twenty sixty-minute hours or their equivalent. Schools or
ganized on any other than a four-year basis, can, nevertheless,
estimate their work in terms o f this unit.
The total number o f units required on this basis for admission
to Swarthmore College is fifteen.
In accordance with a resolution adopted in 1908 by the Mod
ern Language Association o f America and a similar one adopted
in 1914 by the Association o f Modern Language Teachers o f the
Middle States and Maryland, it is recommended that the schools
preparing students for Swarthmore College prescribe adequate
aural and oral tests for all candidates who desire to present a
foreign modern language in satisfaction o f requirements for
admission.
Detailed definitions o f the requirements in all subjects listed
under the general statement on page 42, including lists o f ex
periments in the natural sciences are given in a special cir
cular o f information published annually by the College Entrance
Examination Board. Copies of this document may be obtained
from the Secretary of the Board, 431 West 117th Street, New
York, N. Y . Upon request to the Board a single copy will be
sent to any teacher without charge. In general a charge o f
twenty cents, which may be remitted in postage stamps, will be
made.
LIM ITA TIO N O F ENROLLMENT
The size o f the Freshman class each year is determined by the
resolution o f the Board o f Managers which limits the total en
rollment o f the College to 500 students, 250 men and 250 women.
From the applicants for admission in any year who meet fully
the entrance requirements o f the College, the members o f the
Freshman class are chosen in the order o f merit. Ranking in
the highest quarter o f their class in school is practically a requi
site. In the determination o f scholarship, breadth o f reading
and interest in intellectual matters are considered as well as
school grades. As to character, the qualities sought are the sim
plicity, moral earnestness and idealism which have been tradi
tionally associated with the Society o f Friends and with Swarth-

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
more College. Preference is given to candidates who are children
of Friends and. o f Alumni o f the College provided their school
records meet in all respects the standards set by the College for
admission. When the merits o f two candidates are approximately
equal, it is considered fair that preference should be given to
the earlier application.
Candidates for admission should make early application.
Record of their school work for the first three years, signed by
the school Principal should be submitted one year prior to ad
mission. Application blanks and certificate blanks are furnished
by the Dean o f the College upon request. Certificates are re
turned to the school Principals in the spring for the record of
the Senior year.
Applicants whose school records are good are invited to call
at Swarthmore College at suitable times during the fall and win
ter fo r interviews. Persons living too far from Swarthmore to
make this possible are interviewed by representatives o f the
College in any part o f the United States.
The names o f 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 May 1, o f the
year o f admission.
A definite stipulation is that all accepted candidates shall take
the Scholastic Aptitude Test o f the College Entrance Examina
tion Board to be held on Saturday, June 25, 1927, at 8 A. M.
( Standard Tim e). The results are desired by Swarthmore College
for an experimental study. The score made in the test will have
no bearing upon admission to College, but all members o f the
Freshman Class entering in September will be required to take
the test.
AD V A N C E D STANDING
F or favorable consideration, applicants fo r advanced stand
ing must have had a high scholastic record in the institution
from which they desire to transfer, and must present full creden
tials for both college and preparatory work and a letter o f
honorable dismissal. In general, students are not admitted to
advanced standing later than the beginning o f the Junior year.

REQUIREM ENTS F O R GRADUATION
THE GENERAL UNDERGRADUATE COURSE OF STUDY
The degree o f Bachelor o f Arts is conferred upon those who
complete the undergraduate course as outlined below. This
course is based upon uniform requirements for admission, and
upon certain studies which are prescribed for all matriculates.
In addition to securing this fundamental uniformity, it provides
for tiie varied needs and capacities o f individuals by permitting
a wide range o f election on the part o f the student or his ad
viser; and it seeks, also, to provide a thorough training, extend
ing over three or four years, in some one department o f study.
The requirement o f a thesis from a candidate for the Bachelor’s
degree is left to the option o f the head o f the department in
which the m ajor is taken.
Candidates for graduation in the Department o f Liberal Arts
are required to complete one hundred and twenty-four semester
hours” in addition to the prescribed work in physical education.
F or the number o f hours required for graduation in the Depart
ments o f Engineering and in the Department o f Chemistry, see
the courses o f study outlined under the various departments. The
foregoing are minimum requirem ents. Students may he re
quired to com plete additional “ hours” fo r graduation as penal
ties fo r absences from collection or from class room, laboratory,
or other college exercises. A n “ hour” signifies one recitation or
lecture (or its equivalent) a week throughout one college semes
ter. A recitation or lecture is regularly fifty-five minutes long,
and the preparation o f the student is estimated at an average
o f two hours for each class exercise. In the Departments o f
Engineering, Biology, and Chemistry a laboratory period is
three hours in length. In other departments, where additional
work is required outside o f the laboratory, the laboratory period
is two hours in length. It is designed to make the laboratory
exercise, as nearly as possible, equivalent in its demands to the
hours defined above.
The prescribed number o f hours for students majoring in
46
SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
the Department o f Liberal Arts is fifteen for each semester,
(seventeen for Freshmen) except that Honors students are re
lieved from specific hour requirements in their junior and senior
years. The prescribed number o f hours for students majoring in
Engineering ranges from fifteen to twenty for each semester.
Quality Points.— A n average quality grade shall be required
for graduation, and for the purpose o f determining this quality
grade, numerical values called “ points,” shall be given to the
grade letters, as follows: for grade A , three points for each
semester hour o f course in which the grade is received; for
grade B, two points; for grade C, one point; for grade D, no
point. The grade D is sufficient to pass a course, but does not
count any point.
In accordance with this valuation the requirements in “ points”
for graduation of all students, both those in Arts and in A p
plied Science, is one hundred and twenty-four.
This is a
requirement for Arts students o f an average grade of C. In
other words, A rt students are required for graduation to pre
sent one hundred and twenty-four hours of credit and one hun
dred and twenty-four points. Students in Applied Science will
be required for graduation to present the number o f hours of
credit now prescribed (ranging from one hundred and thirtytwo to one hundred and forty-eight) and one hundred and
twenty-four points.
E xtra or Less S ou rs.— Students are not allowed to carry more
nor less than the prescribed amount o f work except in special
cases approved by the Committee on Prescribed and Extra
Work. Students often find it difficult, however, to make out a
course o f study for the exact number o f hours, and for this
reason a variation o f one hour more or less than the prescribed
number o f hours may be allowed by the course adviser. In such
cases the endorsement of the course adviser must be secured in
writing on the Enrollment Card.
Students desiring to carry more than one hour in excess of
the prescribed number, or more than one hour below the pre
scribed number, must make application to the Committee on
Prescribed and Extra W ork on a regular form provided for the
purpose by the Dean. No student whose marks have fallen be
SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
47
low C in any subject or below B in more than one department
during the preceding semester shall be permitted to enroll for
more than one hour in excess o f the prescribed number. For
students entering from other schools or colleges these grades shall
be determined from their entrance certificates. No application
o f a student to enroll for more or less than the prescribed num
ber o f hours shall be considered by the committee unless accom
panied by the written endorsement o f the course adviser.
N E W REGULATIONS F O R PR E SCRIBED SUBJECTS
Following a long study by the Committee on Instruction, the
Faculty has made important modifications in the curriculum
prescribed for the A.B. degree, to become effective with the nl
entering Swarthmore in September, 1927. In place o f a quanti
tative requirement o f hours there is substituted a qualitative
standard o f attainment in subjects considered essential to a
liberal education. Students who pass examinations set to test
proficiency in prescribed subjects will be excused from specific
ally required courses and allowed to devote the hours thus
released to more advanced work.
The effect o f the changes will be to afford greater flexibility
to the work o f the first two years in order to meet individual
needs o f students, especially o f those who have done superior
work in good schools.
Under the new plan, there will be prescribed studies, elective
studies, m ajor subjects and Honors Courses.
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
o f the first year is normally devoted to five o f the prescribed
studies with one elective.
The time and order in which the remaining studies are taken
may vary according to the requirements o f each department.
Group 1. English.— Six hours o f reading and writing known
as Freshman English, or, for students who pass at entrance to
College an examination set to test proficiency in English, six
hours o f free electives in English or foreign literature or the
Fine Arts.
48
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
Group 2. Foreign Languages.— (a) proficiency in one foreign
language (Greek or Latin or French or German) or (b) a read
ing knowledge o f two foreign languages, one o f which must be
Greek or Latin or French or German. Spanish or Italian may
be presented as the second language.
(a) Proficiency.
The degree o f proficiency required is the ability to read and
translate with facility average works o f reference; to write
simple prose and (in the case o f modern languages) to under
stand and reply to questions in the language. Such proficiency
would ordinarily be gained by students
(1) W ho have had a thorough training in the language in a
good secondary school for four years or more and who give
evidence o f this by passing creditably an examination set
upon entrance to College: or
(2) W ho pass examinations o f equivalent difficulty after
one or more years o f College work.
(b) Beading Knowledge.
B y a reading knowledge is meant ability to read and translate
simple stories and to consult effectively works o f reference in
the two foreign languages offered. The measure o f reading
knowledge required would ordinarily be gained by students
(1) W ho have had a thorough training in the language in a
good secondary school for two years or more, and who give
evidence o f this by passing creditably an examination set
upon entrance to College: or
(2) W ho 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 and Fine Arts.
Group 4. Biology, Chemistry, Physics.— Six hours, to be taken
in any one o f the three departments, and to include at least one
credit-hour o f laboratory work throughout a year.
Group 5. Mathematics, Astronomy.— Six hours, to be taken in
SWARTHMOKE COLLEGE BULLETIN
49
either one o f the two studies; or, no requirement o f hours for
students who pass at entrance to College an examination de
signed to test:
a. Ability to understand a reading problem o f moderate diffi
culty.
b. A moderate degree of manipulative skill in Algebra, includ
ing factoring and the solving o f simple simultaneous equa
tions and quadratic equations o f moderate difficulty.
c. Ability to make and to understand graphs.
d. Ability to read definitions and to understand exactly what
they mean.
e. Ability to solve originals o f moderate difficulty in Plane
Geometry.
Group 6. Physical Education.— F or the prescribed amount
o f work in this department, see the statements under the De
partment o f Physical Education.
Students who fail in the required courses o f the freshman
year shall enroll in these courses during the sophomore year.
No deviation from this rule will be allowed except on the w rit
ten endorsement of the course adviser, and after notification to
the professor in charge o f the subject in which the student
failed.
A ll prescribed studies must be completed or in actual process
of completion at the beginning o f the senior year except in cases
where such prescribed work is not offered until the second semes
ter o f the senior year.
No substitution, o f elective for prescribed work where more
than one semester is involved shall be permitted after the be
ginning o f the senior year, nor in any case after the beginning
o f the second semester o f the senior year.
Application for permission to substitute an elective fo r a pre
scribed study must be made to the Committee on Prescribed and
Extra W ork on a regular form provided by the Dean for the
purpose.
II.
E lective Studies.— The remaining work required fo r grad
uation may be elected from any department or departments of
the College.
50
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
The following subjects are open to election, in so far as the
exigencies o f the college programme will perm it:
Anthropology,

Zoology.
III.
M ajor Subject.— Every candidate for graduation is re
quired to select the work o f some one department as his major.
In most cases the selection may well be postponed nnt.il the be
ginning o f the second year. In the department thus chosen the
student must complete eighteen hours as a minimum (the pre
scribed work done in the major study to be included in this
minimum), and the professor in charge may, at his option, de
termine the work o f thirty-six hours, provided six hours shall
not be in his own department. I f the major study is one o f the
languages, at least six hours o f the prescribed work must be
taken in another language. No matter how much credit may
have been given on entrance, no student is allowed to graduate
who has not been enrolled as a student o f Swarthmore College
at least one year and who has not had in the College at least
one year’s work in his major.
I f the major study is changed from any branch o f Engineer
ing to a department in Arts, the number o f credit hours then
on record will be adjusted to the basis o f 124 hours.
HONORS COURSES
Students who are capable o f doing more independent work than
that required to fulfill the ordinary requirements for the A . B.
degree are allowed to volunteer at the end o f the Sophomore
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN

year to read for the A. B. degree with honors.* Admission to
the status o f an honors student depends upon the quality o f the
applicant’s work in the first two years. In the consideration of
this record, special aptitude is regarded as o f more importance
than a mere high average of grades all round. Honors students
are excused from the ordinary examinations and course require
ments. Instead, they are expected to spend two years in master
ing a certain definitely outlined field o f knowledge over which
they are examined at the end o f their two years’ work. Their
instruction is mainly individual, and a large part of their work
is done independently by their own reading. It is open to Honors
students to attend as many or as few o f the regular classes of
the College as they desire, though they are guided in this respect
by the advice o f the Chairman of the division in which they are
reading. The comprehensive examinations at the end of their
course consist o f from ten to twelve three-hour papers followed
by an oral examination. These tests are conducted not by the
persons who have had charge o f the preparation of the candidates
but by professors from other institutions. On the basis o f these
examinations, Honors students' are given the degree o f Bachelor
o f Arts with Honors of the first or second or third class as their
merits may deserve. Candidates whose work is not of a high
* The theory underlying this honors work was outlined hy President Aydelotte
in his inaugural address at Swarthmore College on October 22, 1021, in the follow*
ing words:
“ Perhaps the most fundamentally wasteful feature o f our educational institutions
is the lack o f a higher standard o f intellectual attainment. W e are educating more
students up to a fair average than any country in the world, hut we are wastefully
allowing the capacity of the average to prevent us from bringing the best up to the
standards they could reach. Our most important task at the present is to check this
waste.
“ The method o f doing it seems clear: to give to those students who are really inter
ested 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 and comparable,
perhaps, with that which is now reached for the A.M.
“ I do not believe that we should deny to the average, or below average, student the
benefit o f a college education. He needs this training, and we need his humanizing
presence in the colleges, but we should not allow him to hold back in his more brilliant
companions from doing that high quality of work which will in the end best justify
the time and money which we spend in education.
“ With these abler students it would be possible to do things which we dare hot
attempt with the average. W e could allow them to specialize more because their own
alertness of mind would o f itself be sufficient to widen their intellectual range and give
them that acquaintance with other studies necessary for a liberal point of view.
“ We could give these better students greater independence in their work, avoiding
the spoon-feeding which makes much o f our college instruction of the present day of
secondary school character. Our examinations should be less frequent and more com
prehensive, and the task o f the student should be to prepare himself for these tests
through his own reading and through the instruction offered by the college.”
52
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
enough, quality to entitle them to any o f these classes may be
given the ordinary A . B. degree without Honors.
Honors work is carefully organized but not so narrowly
specialized as to fall in any case within the limits o f a single
department. Instead, each honors course is given by a group of
departments combined into a division. The divisions in which
honors work is now being offered, together with the requirements
in each, are as follows:
DIVISION OP ENGLISH LITERATURE
The Honors course in the Division o f English Literature is
conducted jointly by the Departments o f English, History, and
Philosophy. The Committee in charge consists o f Dr. Goddard,
English, Chairman; Dr. Hull, H istory; Dr. Holmes, Philosophy;
and President Aydelotte and Dean Walters, English.
The field covered by the course is the history o f English
thought from the Fourteenth Century through the Nineteenth,
with its necessary background o f social and political history.
The main part o f the work is comprised in the study o f six topics
outlined below. Honors students are left to prepare for them
selves those portions o f English History and Literature not cov
ered by the special topics.
I. English Literature o f the periods o f Chaucer, Shakespeare,
and Milton.
II. The Social and Political History of England from the
Black Death to the Restoration o f Charles II.
III. The Transition in England from Mediaeval to Modern
Thought during the Renaissance and the Reformation.
IY . English Literature from the French Revolution to the End
o f the Nineteenth Century.
V. History of England from the French Revolution to the
end o f the Nineteenth Century.
V I. Philosophy and Science in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth
Centuries.
The set books required o f all students are announced in a list
published two years in advance and may be changed after each
two-year period.
SWABTHMOEE COLLEGE BULLETIN
53
Students desiring to read for honors in this division should
enroll in their Freshman year in a special section o f English
4, A General Introduction to English Literature. They are also
required to take, in their Freshman or Sophomore year the fol
lowing courses: (1 ) Introduction to Philosophy, (2) Logic or
Scientific Method, (3) A General Survey o f English History,
Course 93. Courses 93 (a) and 93 (b ) are open to Honors stu
dents in their Junior and Senior year and are especially designed
to supply a more detailed background than that given in Course
93 for the field covered by the honors work; these courses are
therefore strongly recommended.
DIVISION OP THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
The Honors course in the Division o f the Social Sciences is
conducted jointly by the Departments o f Political Science, Eco
nomics, History and Philosophy. The Committee in charge
consists o f Dr. R. C. Brooks, Political Science, Chairman;
Professor Fraser, Economics; Dr. M a n n in g , H istory; and Dr.
Blanshard, Philosophy.
The course covers prescribed books in political philosophy, in
history, in philosophy and ethics, and in economic history and
economic theory. The general topics considered by the group
include history o f political ideas; political institutions of the
United States and Great Britain; development o f modern na
tional states; money and currency; industrial development and
industrial conditions; population and labor; and a study o f the
leading economic forces that have shaped the political and social
institutions o f the United States.
Students who wish to read for honors in this division should
take the following courses during the first two years o f their
college work, preferably in the Sophomore y ea r: 92. The History
o f Europe; either 101. American Political Parties, and 102.
American Federal Government, or 103. Governments and Par
ties; 111. Principles o f Economics; and either 130. Logic, or 137.
Scientific Methods, and either 135. Introduction to Philosophy,
or a course equivalent to the latter.

their m ajor subjects.
E X T E A W O E K DONE OUTSIDE OP CLASSES
No student will be granted credit for work in excess o f that
regularly listed on the enrollment card unless permission to do
so is granted by the Committee on Prescribed and Extra W ork
at the written request o f the course adviser. A ll students ex

before the work is entered upon.
SUMMEE SCHOOL W O EK
Students desiring to transfer credit in a prescribed subject
from a university summer school are required to obtain the
endorsement o f the head o f the department concerned before
entering upon the work.
EEM OVAL OP CONDITIONS
Members of the graduating class must make up all outstand
ing conditions and deficiencies by the end o f the first semester of
the senior year, and no student whose record is not then clear
shall be considered a candidate for graduation in that year.
A ll conditions must be made up in the semester immediately
following that in which the work reported as conditioned was
done, and as early in the semester as possible; except that by
special permission o f the professor concerned the time for mak
ing up the condition may be extended to the second semester
following in case (1 ) the course for which the condition was
imposed was not repeated until said second semester, and (2) it is
considered necessary by the professor that the student should
62
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
make up part or all o f the class or laboratory work involved at
the time the course is repeated. A ny condition not made up
within a year from the time it is imposed shall thereafter have
the effect upon the records o f an “ E ,” i.e., complete failure,
which cannot be made up.
SYSTEM OF GRADES
Reports o f students’ work are received at the Dean’s office four
times a year; at the end o f each semester and at each mid
semester. A ll grades are mailed to parents at the end o f each
semester, and are also given out to students at each mid-semester
and at the end o f the first semester.
The following system o f marking is used by instructors: A
(excellent, 100-90 per ce n t.); B (good, 89-80 per ce n t.); C
(fair, 79-70 per ce n t.); D (poor, 69-60 per ce n t.); E (fa ile d );
W (w ithdraw n); Cond. (Conditioned).
The mark “ conditioned” shall be reported for only two rea
sons: (1) for unsatisfactory work in a semester course in which
the condition may be removed by doing satisfactory work either
in another semester course which involves the subject-matter of
the first course or in the second semester o f a year’s course; (2)
when the work of a course is complete; that is, when the work
done in the course is satisfactory with the exception o f a small,
definite part o f i t ; for example, the writing o f a theme, the read
ing o f an assignment, or the taking o f a final examination. The
mark “ conditioned” shall not be given to a student whose work
in a course has been below the passing grade. Such a student
shall be reported “ E ” (failed).
When the reports o f grades are filed at the Dean’s office, the
exact character of the conditions imposed will be defined, and
the nature o f the work required to remove conditions reported
in writing. The student will then be notified by the Dean of the
terms o f the conditions.

Absences that the student has submitted a written statement
satisfactorily explaining the cause making the absence from ex
amination imperatively necessary, and (2) o f a receipt from the
office o f the superintendent for a fee of $2. This fee shall be
remitted only in the case o f duly certified quarantine. In case
of continuous illness the maximum fee shall be $5.

members.
The absence regulations for 1926-1927 are as follows:
1. The following allowances must cover absences for all causes,
including short periods o f illness, except that one-half absences
shall be counted for each hour o f 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 E A C H 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. A ny student with an average o f 2.3 or above shall be
allowed double this number of absences; this ruling is to become
effective the semester following the recording o f the grades in
the Dean’s Office.
64
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
4. A t its discretion the Absence Committee may excuse absen
ces in excess o f two-thirds the allowed number, when such
absences are due to prolonged illness.
5. A student absent from his last scheduled class before any
holiday 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

French, Spanish and Italian
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor Isabelle Bronk. Mr. Charles R. Bagley is Assistant
Professor, Señorita Mercedes C. Iribas and Mr. Philip B. Doug
las are Instructors in Spanish, Madame Blanche Poulleau
Crawford* and Madame M.-E. Bourdin-Bacher are Instructors
in French, and Mademoiselle Cécile Brochereux is Student
Assistant.
The courses o f study in French are designed to afford a
certain degree o f literary culture, as well as to impart through
training in the grammar and linguistics o f the language. Until
the end o f the second year the authors studied are all selected
from those o f modern times and the greatest attention is given to
colloquial French. The student is then ready to be brought into
contact with the more artificial (rhetorical) forms o f expression
constantly occurring in the higher grades o f literature. The fact
that French is a living tongue is kept ever in view. F or this
reason but little English is used in the classroom. Free com
position, dictation, memorizing, and conversation are required
throughout the courses. Much attention is given to pronunci
ation, practical phonetics being taught in all courses, and the
relations o f modern French to classical, popular, and low Latin
are brought often before the students.
The courses in Spanish are arranged with a view to giving, as
far as possible, a practical knowledge o f this language, and also
some idea o f the literature o f Spain.
From eleven to fourteen courses in French are offered each
year. The class in Course 22 is divided into four sections, the
class in Course 23 into two, and the class in Course 35 into
three. There are also three sections o f Elementary Spanish.
Students who are prepared in Elementary French, as defined
by the College Entrance Examination Board, enter Course 22;
those who are prepared in Intermediate French enter a specially
arranged section o f this same course ; those who are prepared in
Advanced French, as defined by the College Entrance Exam
ination Board, enter Course 23. Students who are prepared in

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

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

Econom ics
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Associate Professor Herbert F. Fraser. Mr. James A . Ross is
Assistant Professor. During 1926-1927 instruction was also
given by Dr. Louis N. Robinson, Mr. Claude C. Smith, and Mr.
Charles P. White, o f the University o f Pennsylvania.
It is the view o f the Department that, as good citizenship
implies intelligent citizenship, the broadcast purpose o f college
instruction in Economics is to contribute to the former by culti
vation o f the latter. From this point o f view the study of
Economics should appeal to all students. In a narrower way,
work in Economics should prove useful to those who intend to
devote themselves to law, business, journalism, philanthropy, or
the public service. Students who plan advanced study and re
search in Economics should be able to lay the foundation for
such work in the undergraduate courses offered in this depart
ment. However, students who later intend to do graduate school
work are strongly advised to take the Social Science Honors
Course o f study.
The courses in law are designed to give the student an insight
into legal reasoning and a general knowledge o f the fundamental
legal relations which govern our society. It is expected that
these courses will serve as a helpful introduction to professional
study for those who aim to prepare themselves for the law, and
that they will also aid those who desire to equip themselves for
business.
Collateral work in Political Science, History, and Philosophy
is recommended for all who intend to devote much time to
Economics. A reading knowledge o f French and German is
highly desirable.
No credit will be given in courses which run throughout the
year, unless the work o f the entire year is taken.
The advanced courses will be changed from year to year, thus
enabling students to take more work in the department than is
here scheduled.

Education
The instruction in the Department o f Education is under the
direction o f Professor W . Carson Ryan, Jr. Dr. Frances M.
Burlingane is Instructor in Education and Miss Edith Everett
and Dr. Arthur W . Ferguson are lecturers in education. Dr.
Harlan Updegraff is Visiting Professor o f Education for the
second semester o f 1926-27.
Courses in this Department are designed to meet the need of
two groups o f students: (1) Those who, while not intending to
teach, desire, as citizens and workers in other fields, to know
something o f the current conditions and problems o f American
education; (2) those who wish to prepare fo r teaching.
Course 140, the introductory course in education, is intended
to meet the needs o f both groups by furnishing a general survey
o f the field from the social and civic point o f view. Course 141
supplements this with a study o f the scientific approach to the
problems o f education. The remaining courses are designed
mainly fo r those who plan a teaching career, but they are open
to mature students interested in education, regardless o f whether
they expect to teach or not. The courses are arranged to meet
the 1922 requirements o f the Pennsylvania Provisional College
Certificate, which are representative o f requirements in the more
progressive States. Eighteen hours in education are required
for this certificate, twelve prescribed and six elective. The twelve
prescribed hours are covered by the following -Swarthmore
courses: Introduction (140), 3 hours; Educational Psychology
(141), 3 hours; Laboratory Teaching (146), 6 hours. The six
hours o f electives may be taken from any other education courses
offered in Swarthmore College, including certain courses given
by other departments. Students in Honors Courses planning to
teach should have taken Education 140 and 141 in the Sopho
more year and should plan for Education 146 in the Senior
year with the remaining six hours to be arranged.

Fine A rts and M usic
PROFESSOR ALFRED M . BROOKS A N D M R . ALFRED J . S W A N
The purpose o f the courses in the Fine Arts and Music is
critical and appreciative rather than practical.
F IN E ARTS
In the Fine Arts the work consists o f illustrated lectures on
the plastic and graphic arts: architecture, sculpture, painting,
and the allied arts, together with collateral reading and first
hand examination o f objects o f art. The principles o f art and
their application in masterpieces are studied not only with
reference to the intrinsic value o f the masterpieces but with a
view to developing good taste, for it is by knowledge and memory
o f fine things only that power can be acquired to fix standards
by which to form such taste.
Graphic Arts. Study o f drawing as the foundation of all the
pictorial arts, together with special consideration o f painting,
engraving and etching. Three hours a week throughout the year.
Not open to Freshmen.
Introduction to the Fine Arts. A general course on the sig
nificance and history o f Art, covering architecture, sculpture,
painting and the allied arts. Three hours a week throughout
the year.
Greek and Roman Architecture. Study o f classic architecture.
Three hours a week, first semester.
Mediaeval and Renaissance Architecture. Study of the influ
ence o f and changes wrought on classic architecture throughout
the middle ages and Renaissance down to the present time.
Three hours a week, second semester.
The Furnishing and Decoration o f Houses. The purpose of
this course is to discover and make plain some o f the principles
of good taste, and to study their application to specific problems
related to building, furnishing and decorating houses. The his
tory o f the subject will also be studied. Three hours a week
throughout the year.
98
SWARTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
Dante. Study of the Divine Comedy as a work o f consummate
literature. Special attention is given to the life and art o f the
Italian thirteenth century that produced it. Three hours a week
throughout the year.
MUSIC
The purpose o f the course in music is, on the one hand, to
show the close connection o f all great music, in its manifold
aspects, with the general progress o f Western culture, and on
the other, to give the student a thorough practical knowledge of
the foundations upon which musical works o f art are constructed.
This must needs involve the concurrent pursuit o f two lines o f
study:
(a) the History o f Music, its place in the social and
artistic life of Europe from ca. A . D. 1150 to 1800, the
composers, their lives and contribution to the development
o f the art.
(b ) a better Appreciation, or understanding, of music
through the successive study o f the great examples o f
musical art from the folk songs and Gregorian chant to the
classic period (the early Beethoven), and the analysis of
musical forms (e. g. rondeau, motet, aria, sonata) and
musical language (melody, rhythm, polyphony, harmony).
The very important question o f illustrations for the course
is taken care of, as far as possible, in the following ways :
(a) performance in class o f works for the piano, violin
and ’cello, chamber music (trios and quartettes), and illus
trations by means o f the piano o f folk songs, choral and
orchestral works;
(b ) trips to Philadelphia for the hearing o f concerts,
wherever their program bears directly upon the period
studied in class ;
(c ) occasional performances by the student orchestra
and chorus o f madrigals, concertos, fragments from old
operas, and other compositions o f a concerted character.

Division o f B iology
The Division o f Biology comprises the three Departments of
Zoology, Physiology and Bio-Physics, and Botany. Professor
Samuel Copeland Palmer is Chairman o f the Division.
The courses in the several departments are arranged with two
main points in view. First to prepare the student to read for
Honors in some field o f Biology during the Junior and Senior
years. Second, to give to other than Honor students a broad
view o f the facts o f life as part o f a liberal education. The
successful completion o f the several courses for the degree of
A.B. is preparatory to the study o f advanced Biology, Medicine,
Forestry or o f Agriculture in the graduate and professional
schools o f the leading universities.
Courses in Physics and Chemistry are required fo r entrance
by medical schools and majors in this division are required to
take one or the other o f these subjects. They are also required
to satisfy the language requirements for graduation in either
French or German or both.

courses are designed to afford a rigorous training in scientific
thought and methods and to acquaint the students with such
facts as will enable them to care for their bodies more intelli
gently. These courses also lay the foundation fo r more detailed
physiological study offered in the Honors work o f the Division.
The elementary laboratory is equipped with modern apparatus
for performing experiments in all o f the fields o f physiology
and offers unusual facilities for individual work. The advanced
and research laboratories are being developed to meet the needs
o f the Honor and graduate student and are being equipped for

Bourdelais is in charge o f the work in the shops.
The courses in Engineering are designed to train men in the
fundamental principles that underlie the branch in which they
are majoring, and to give such engineering and practical work
as time and equipment will permit.
The location o f the College near Philadelphia, and the im
portant manufacturing centers in its vicinity, enables students
to visit a great variety o f industrial and engineering works.
The success o f an engineer has come more and more to depend
upon his ability to meet men o f education and culture on equal
terms; hence, courses in liberal arts are carried throughout the
four years, in the belief that they will ultimately benefit the
students. The technical courses o f study are arranged and con
ducted with the purpose o f imparting preparation for immedi
ate usefulness in the oflSce, drafting room or field, as well as to
give a sound foundation for more advanced work. Undergrad
uates are encouraged to engage in engineering work during the
summer vacation.

applied for interior or outdoor work.
SHOP W ORK
A ll engineering students will be required to obtain experi
ence in shop work. Such students as may so desire may do a
portion or all o f the required work outside o f the College. Such
work shall be of a nature to be approved by the faculty o f the
Engineering Division, and shall be general enough to be equiva
lent to the work required in the College shops. Those students
desiring to substitute shop work in factories shall submit their
plan to the faculty fo r approval prior to doing the work, and
shall obtain from a responsible official o f the company, in whose
SWABTHMORE COLLEGE BULLETIN
115
factory they have been employed, a certificate o f satisfactory
work done, in such detail as may be required by the faculty.
The amount o f time devoted to shop work in the factory shall
be at least twice that required in the College shop, and a greater
amount of time may be required unless the work is well divided
among different branches o f shop practice. I f the work done
outside the College is deemed sufficiently complete to be a satis
factory substitute for a part but not for all of the College
course, then the student will be required to take only that por
tion o f the work in College in which his outside experience is
considered deficient.
The work in the College shop will be conducted during the
College year and also during a period o f two weeks immediately
preceding or following the College year. The required work will
be equivalent to a period of four weeks o f forty-four hours per
week.
The machine shop occupies a large portion o f the second floor
o f Beardsley Hall. It is arranged so that the machine and
bench work are entirely separated. A large tool room is cen
trally located and is in charge o f an assistant who supplies indi
vidual tools on a check system, as is done in commercial shops.
The machine shop contains an assortment o f tools including
screw-cutting engine lathes; speed lathes, simple and backgeared; a planer; a complete universal milling machine with
milling cutters; a shaper, a twist-drill grinder, and two vertical
drill presses; a lathe-center grinder; plain and swivel vises;
lathe chucks, universal and independent; also drill chucks,
chucks for milling machine and vises for planing; surface plates;
standard gauges, and a complete equipment o f small tools.

Mathematics and Astronom y
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Professor John A. Miller. Dr. Ross W . Marriott is Associate
Professor. Mr. John H. Pitman is Assistant Professor. Mr.
Dean B. McLaughlin, Miss Emma T. R. Williams and Miss Alice
Rogers are Instructors. Mrs. Marjorie 0 . Battin is Research
Assistant. Reverend W alter A . Matos is Voluntary Observer
and Mr. Murat Louis Johnson is Non-Resident Lecturer in
Mathematics of Insurance.
The aim o f the courses in this department is to prepare stu
dents for graduate study in Mathematics and Astronomy, for
work in various fields o f business, and for teaching Mathematics
in the secondary schools.
Students who contemplate doing advanced work in Mathe
matics or Astronomy should acquire a reading knowledge of
French and Scientific German as early in their work as possible.
Students who consider entering the Division o f Honors in
Mathematics, Astronomy and Physics should have one year of
Physics by the end o f the Sophomore year, and i f possible also a
year of Chemistry.
The college requirement of six hours o f Mathematics for all
candidates for graduation may be satisfied by passing three hours
o f Course 252 and Course 253, or by passing Courses 251 and
253, or by passing six hours o f Astronomy. The first o f these
three alternatives is recommended. Students majoring in Mathe
matics will take during the first year Courses 252 and 253.
Graduate courses offered in Mathematics and Astronomy are
flexible and planned to meet the need o f the individual student.
The equipment of the Observatory is best suited to astronometrical and kindred problems. The various eclipse expeditions
from the Observatory have yielded considerable eclipse data.
A description o f the instrumental equipment for Astronomy
may be found on pages 15 and 16. The teaching staff is at
present devoting as much time as is consistent with their teach

ing duties to studies in stellar) parallax with the 24-inch tele
scope, to photography with the 9-inch doublet, and to the study
o f eclipses o f the sun. Students interested in any of these prob
lems may work with advantage in conjunction with one o f the
professors. Results o f departmental studies are published in
the Sproul Observatory publications and in various scientific
journals.
The Observatory is open to visitors on the second and fourth
Tuesday nights o f each month, except those Tuesday nights that
fall in a vacation period. Visitors thus have an opportunity of
seeing, in the course of a year, many celestial objects of various
types.
A departmental library is located on the first floor of the
Observatory. It contains about 3,000 volumes and is suf
ficiently complete to make it a good working library. It is
reasonably supplied with standard treatises, particularly those
published in the last two decades. It contains complete sets of
nearly all the American mathematical and astronomical peri
odicals, and sets (some o f which are complete; some of which
are not) o f the leading English, German and French periodi
cals. This library receives the publications o f many o f the lead
ing observatories in exchange for the publications o f the Sproul
Observatory.

Physics
The instruction in this department is under the direction of
Associate Professor Winthrop R. Wright. Mr. A. H. Croup is
instructor.
The department offers two courses in general physics which
are o f the same general content and calibre. These courses cover
the fundamental principles of the science in their relation to the
other sciences and to general experience. The lecture and recita
tion work is supplemented by experiments for which the labora
tory is well equipped.
Advanced courses are offered in special branches of the sub
ject and such changes will be made in these courses from year
to year that a student may obtain a comprehensive, though neces
sarily elementary, view o f the domain o f modern physics. The
department aims to prepare students through these advanced
courses for post-graduate study, for research work in industrial
laboratories, or for the teaching o f physics in secondary schools.
F or any o f these advanced courses a thorough grounding in
mathematics and chemistry is essential. A n elementary knowl
edge of the languages is o f practical value in physics and a
reading knowledge o f scientific German should be obtained early.
The department o f physics is associated with the department
o f astronomy and mathematics in the conduct o f Honors work.
A detailed statement regarding this division o f honors will be
found on page 53.

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