Sw .rthmore College VARTHIMORE COLLEGE is located on high ground about twelve miles southwest of Philadelphia. The college buildings command a fine outlook across the fields of Delaware County to the Delaware River and the New Jersey J slopes. The campus consists of 200 acres of rolling and partly wooded land, bordering on Crum Creek. All SkJ f iW who visit Swarthmore College acknowledge its estate to be one of exceptional beauty and value, with the special advantage of lying within one of the best regulated boroughs of Pennsylvania. Swarthmore College was founded and is maintained by the Society of Friends. It offers its inmates the choice home atmosphere and close association of professor and student which are such effective influences in character- building. The chief aim at Swarthmore is to develop the individual student w hile maintaining the good of all. For the accomplishment of its aims, Swarthmore has been and continues to be the Ideal Small College. The course of study is based on uniform requirements for admission. The work of the student is divided into three nearly equal parts : Prescribed, Elective, and Major. The prescribed work is limited to certain essential subjects of recognized value as a basis for general education ; the elective work gives free play to individual tastes ; the adoption of a major subject permits the student ' s own inclination to be given special training and development by persistent study in one direction. Upon the completion of this undergraduate course the degree of B. A. is conferred ; for the young men who desire to fit themselves to become engineers, a prescribed course leads to the degree of B. S. in Engineering. In the fall of 1904, Swarthmore College expects to have ready a New Dormitory for the men and a New Chemical Building.
