SUinRTHmORE 9QJLLEGE K small, co-ed, Quaker college. That is an overly-concise description ot our alma mater, but it brings to light the reasons why Swarthmore has almost more than her share of a college ' s problems in these days of national emergency. Quakers are pacifists. The foremost difficulty is here appar- ent. What steps should a Quaker school take in aiding a coun- try — albeit its own — which is at war? The fact that Swarthmore is co-educational, also, has made it hard to form plans for a speed-up in the college ' s program. A decision satisfactory to all concerned resulted in, finally, a shortened spring semester, with an additional term, optional for all students, to be offered over the summer. This program of three semesters yearly will be continued indefinitely. Active participation in the defense effort has been accom- plished by the institution of extra-curricular courses — some for the women, some for the men, and several for the public. The engineering department has broadened its courses and now liberal arts students frequent Beardsley and the Observa- tory for more technical training, while the women take courses in subjects ranging from motor mechanics to nurse ' s aide. The general spirit of the student body has changed some- what, as was to be hoped and expected. Extremely high en- rollment in all defense courses offered, as well as in the sum- mer term is one indication. Destructive outbursts in Wharton during the year, though perhaps a bit more violent, were definitely fewer in number. Stricter physical requirements were met with unusually good spirit. Table conversations be- came more serious. And a festive desire to be out in the world, giving tangible assistance to their country, impelled some of the men to leave college for various branches of the armed services. All in all, for a small, co-ed, Quaker college, Swarthmore has been succeeding admirably in its attempt to be true to its ideals both as an institution of higher learning and as a citi- zen of the United States. i mmidh Jiav : ' .:
