At the Seventh Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of Swarth- inore College, held at Race Street Meeting House, Philadelphia, Twelfth month 6th, 1870 The Minutes of the last Annual Meeting were read and approved. The following Reports of the Board of Managers and of the Treasurer were read and accepted : MANAGERS’ REPORT. The second school year opened on the 8th of the Ninth month, 1870, with a greatly increased number of students. On the 1st of the Twelfth month this number was two hundred and forty-five, of whom one hundred and thirty-two are boys and one hundred and thirteen are girls. Of the whole number ten are day scholars. The classification is as follows : Collegiate Departm ent — Sophomores, . . . . .22 Freshmen, . . . . .24 Preparatory Department — Class A, . . . . . .74 Class B, ..... 63 Class C, . . . . .62 Of the whole number one hundred and sixty -seven are children of members of the Society of Friends. We have still to regret the want of a gymnasium for the boys. Tli is has been postponed for want of the requisite funds, notwith- standing some special subscriptions for the purpose. In asking the Stockholders to provide the rneans for this building, we feel that a gymnasium is scarcely less a pressing necessity in a large school than any of the ordinary provisions for intellectual training. The course of instruction has been modified this year by post- poning the commencement of the study of German till the Fresh- man year. Regular lectures and recitations in Physics have been introduced into the course of the highest class of the Preparatory School, besides being continued in the College Classes as heretofore. A class in Practical Chemistry has made some progress, and Chemistry is also taught by lectures to both College Classes, the lectures on common things and on the Elements of Natural Science being continued in the Preparatory Department. Mechanical Drawing is taught to fifty-two students, and Free- hand Drawing to eighty-one. Arrangements have been made for a course on Zoology, Physi- ology and Anatomy by Dr. Joseph Leidv of Philadelphia, recently appointed Non-resident Professor of Natural History. We also expect to have a series of ten lectures on Geology, beginning at the opening of next term. With a view to meet the large demand for a full Scientific Course, independently of the study of the Ancient Classics, we have so arranged the studies that the degree of A. B. may be obtained without the study of the Ancient Languages. The Reading Room, containing a selection of daily and weekly papers and other periodicals, has been found a popular resort for the students when out of school. The Library has grown by con- tributions and purchases made with funds appropriated by the Board, and now contains about twelve hundred volumes. Friends having private libraries which are becoming less important to them as they advance in life, might, bv placing them at Swarth- more, render them useful to generations which are to follow them. We need bound periodicals which record the history of our own and recent times, and of these a complete copy of Friends’ Intelli- gencer from its origin would be a valuable contribution.* * Peborah F. Wharton, has since supplied this deficiency. The influence of pictures is not to be overlooked in the training of young minds, and the late contributions of engravings, by Dr. George Truman and Henry M. Laing, representing groups of Ame- rican inventors and of literary men and women, have attracted much attention. A number of students have availed themselves of the Laboratory for chemical instruction for a short course in Synthesis, and are now entering on Qualitative Analysis. A collection of Minerals, selected by Professor Leidy, and paid for from funds contributed by Joseph Jeanes, only awaits a place to assort and display it to be added to our Museum of Natural Objects. This Department of the College facilities is worthy of the liberality of its friends. It is designed to be arranged in two collections, one illustrative of the principles of structure and classi- fication, and the other, showing, as far as practicable, all the mine- rals, plants and animals of the neighboring sections of country. — Thus will the students be prevented from growing up in ignorance of the objects surrounding them throughout life, and many will be inspired with an increased interest in, and love for, the visible works of the Creator. The great improvement of the grounds of the College — the grad- ing, sodding and laying out of the concrete walks and carriage roads, furnishes a strong contrast to the condition of the grounds last year. Nearly one hundred deciduous trees, mostly contributed by Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas, have been recently planted, and we have offers of valuable trees to be transplanted in the spring, when our landscape gardener proposes to set out also a variety of shrubbery and evergreens. The station on the railroad has been changed in name to Swartli- more, and a Post Office and Adams Express Office of* the same name have been established there. Letters and packages sent to the College will, therefore, bear that direction. TREASURER’S REPORT Henry M. Laing, Treasurer, in account with Swarthmore College. DR. 12th mo. 6th, 1869.

At a Meeting of the Board of Managers, held on the 5th of the Fifth month, 1870, the following amendment to the Charter, passed by the Legislature and “approved on the 14th day of April, 1870,” being read, it was approved and recommended to the Stockholders for their acceptance at the next Annual Meeting : A 8 U P P L E MEN T To “An Act to incorporate Swarthmore College” authorizing an increase of Capital Stock. Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represen- tatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the Board of Managers shall consist of thirty-two Managers who shall choose a President and Secretary from their own number, and said officers shall affix the corporate seal and attest all documents as may be directed by the Board of Managers. Section 2. That the capital stock of said corporation may be increased so as to amount in the whole to five hundred thousand dollars, and the said Managers may borrow money on bonds to be secured by mortgage on the real estate of the corporation to trustees 10 for the bond holders to an amount not exceeding one hundred thou- sand dollars.

Pennsylvania, ss. : * I do hereby certify, That the foregoing and ( ) annexed is a full, true and correct copv of* the ori- j SEAL. J- 1 J 1 , , ’ ginal Act of the General Assembly, entitled “ A Sup- plement to ‘ An Act to incorporate Swarthmore College,’ authorizing an increase of capital stock,” as the same remains on file in this Office. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Secretary’s Office to be affixed, the day and year above written. J. M. WEAKLEY, Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth. Helen G. Longstreth resigned her position as Matron at the close of the last term. The Managers accepted the resignation with a resolution expressive of their appreciation of her long and valuable services in connection with the College. Lydia A. Lockwood having resigned as a member of the Board of Managers, Louisa M. Stabler has been appointed in her place. Elizabeth Dorsey, Elizabeth B. Smith, E. Ellen Riley and Gerard H. Reese, Managers, and Henry' M. Laing, Trea- surer, have resigned, and their successors will have to be elected at the Stockholders’ Meeting. CLEMENT M. BIDDLE, Clerk of the Board of Managers, 11 The Reports were referred to the incoming Board of Managers for publication, and, on motion, it was Resolved , That the “ Supplement to ‘ An Act to incorporate Swarthmore College,’ authorizing an increase of capital stock,” ap- proved the 1-1 th day of April, A. D. 1870, be accepted by this cor- poration as part of its Charter. Resolved , That of the thirty-two Managers of the corporation there shall be elected hereafter sixteen women, and that this be a standing By-Law of the corporation. Edward Hoopes, Wm. H. Macy, Edwin Craft, B. Rush Roberts, Ly^dia Gillingham, Saml. Willets, Catharine H. Truman, Dillwyn Parrish, Caroline Underhill, Rebecca Turner, Mary L. Roberts, Hugh McIlvain and Edward Taylor were appointed, to nominate Clerks for this meeting, also a Treasurer, and suitable persons to fill the vacancies in the Board of Managers. The question was asked whether the clause of the proposed amendments to the Charter enabling the corporation to borrow money was designed for any special purpose, to which it was answered that no necessity has arisen for its application, but that it was considered a measure of prudence to have this usual clause inserted in the amended Charter. The attention of the meeting was called to the importance of creating an Endowment Fund and Scholarships, to enable the College to extend its advantages to those whose restricted means at present debar them from entering as students, or from continuing long enough to pursue the full course of study. It was urged that if Trustees were appointed by the Board of Managers, to have custody of all contributions toward such objects and to make a proper application of them, individuals about making their wills and others blessed with abundance, would be led to add to the fund already commenced bv donations and legacies heretofore acknow- ledged. Five thousand dollars would secure the education of one student in perpetuity, and might be either merged in the general endowment or reserved as a separate scholarship. 12 The advantage of the study of the modern languages, in prefer- ence to the devotion of years to the ancient classics, formed the sub- ject of some pertinent remarks, and the President of the Faculty dwelt, upon the prominence which it is intended to give to the Phy- sical and Natural Sciences in the course of study at Swarthmore. Already full courses of lectures are given in Physics and Chemistry, and arrangements are made for a course on Zoology by Dr. Leidy, the newly-appointed Non-resident Professor of Natural History. Botany, Mineralogy, Geology, and Human and Comparative Ana- tomy will all be taught when facilities for their study can be obtained ; it has been determined to make the Scientific Depart- ment a prominent feature. The following were appointed inspectors of election : Edward Merritt, Thomas H. Speakman, Joseph Matthews. The Nominating Committee reported the following, who were unanimously elected : — Managers for four years. Isaac Stephens, S. B. Worth, Clement Biddle, Charles J. Bunting, Martha G. McIlvain, Anna M. Hopper, Edward Taylor, Eliza H. Bell. Managers for three years. Jane P. Downing, Louisa M. Stabler, Margaret G. Corlies, Elizabeth T. Yardley. Managers for two years. Rachel T. Jackson, Letitia S. Cadwallader, Elizabeth S. Worth, Caroline Underhill. Managers for one year. Mary S. Pancoast, Hannah W. Haydock, Rebecca Turner, Joseph Wharton. Henry C. Hallowell in place of Gerard H. Reese, resigned. Clerks for one year. Clement M. Biddle, Edith W. Atlee. Treasurer for one year. Wm. Canby Biddle. 13 The necessity of a gymnasium for the boys, as mentioned in the Managers’ Report, claimed the attention of the meeting, and, it being stated that it required four thousand dollars to build it, the following subscriptions were made: Edward Hoopes, $500 00 Barton Hoopes, 500 00 R. & W. C. Biddle, . 500 00 Samuel Willets, 500 00 William H. Macy, . 500 00 Daniel Underhill, . 250 00 Clement M. Biddle, . 250 00 Lucretia Mott, 100 00 Dillwyn Parrish, . 100 00 Hugh McIlvain, 100 00 Elwood Burdsall, . 100 00 Isaac Stephens, 100 00 Edward Taylor, . 100 00 Joseph Matthews, 100 00 Susan M. Parrish, . 50 00 Lydia H. Hall, 100 00 Cornelia A. Willets, . . 100 00 Henry T. Willets, . 100 00 $4050 00 A proposition was made to increase the capital stock of the poration to five hundred thousand dollars, which was approved, and the Board of Managers is authorized to issue certificates of stock to that amount. The changes in the By-Laws as reported by the Board of Mana- gers were read and approved. Then adjourned. CLEMENT M. BIDDLE, ClCM’Ic. BY-LAWS. LA W I. MEETINGS.

In the organization of this College, especial care is taken to offer every facility to those who wish to become proficient in Special Departments. Hence, Students, not candidates for de- grees, may pursue their studies for a single term, or for a longer period, in any classes which they may be qualified to enter; and they shall be entitled to certificates of proficiency in any depart- ment in which they may have passed a satisfactory examination. Candidates for degrees will be allowed a wide range of choice in the selection of their studies, and may obtain the first degree by a longer or shorter course, as explained in the next section. Students of the Preparatory Department may be excused from the regular studies of their class, and substitute others in their stead, under the direction of the Faculty. Great care will be taken in adjusting the optional studies, and in deciding how many courses may be carried on at one time, both in the Collegiate and Prepara- tory Departments, to prevent idleness on the one hand, or superficial haste on the other. ADMISSION. Applicants for admission to Class C will be examined in the ele- ments of English Grammar, Reading, Spelling, Modern Geography, and in Arithmetic, through Decimal Fractions. Candidates for classes A or B will be examined also in the studies of the classes below that which they propose to enter. Candidates for admission to the Freshman Class will be examined in the ordinary English branches ; also in Algebra, as far as Quad- 33 ratic Equations ; in the first two books of Davies’ Legendre’s Geo- metry, or an equivalent; in Harkness’ Latin Grammar and Reader, and the first two books of Csesar ; and in the elements of French Grammar. For the examination in Latin or in French, an exami- nation in the Elements of Chemistry, and Natural Philosophy, will be accepted as an equivalent. Candidates for any higher class will be further examined in the studies of the course which precede those of that class; for which, however, real equivalents will be accepted. Students, not candidates for a degree, are examined for entrance only in so far as to ascertain their ability to pursue the studies of the class or classes which they propose to enter. Application for admission for the next school year should be made early to William Dorsey, No. 923 Market Street ; Edward Hoopes, No. 1330 Buttonwood Street, Philadelphia, or to Edward H. Magill, Principal, at the College; and candidates must present themselves for examination at 12 o’clock, on Third-day, the 5th of the Ninth month, 1871. No student shall be admitted without satisfactory testimonials of good moral character; and students coming from another college or school, should present a certificate of honorable dismission from, and of good standing in, the institution left. Applicants for admission to the Preparatory Department must be at least twelve years old. SECTION II. DEGREES. In order to become a candidate for the first degree, or the degree of A. B., the student must have pursued twelve annual courses, which comprise the studies of four years, with three studies in each year, and have passed satisfactory examinations therein, no exami- nation in any course being deemed satisfactory, unless at least 25 per cent, of correct answers be given. Of these twelve courses, two, at least, must have been in Mathematics ; one in English Language and Literature ; one in History ; one in Physics and Chemistry, and two in an ancient or a modern language. For the remaining stu- dies, a selection may be made from the regular courses of such as are preferred. The second degree, or the degree of A. M., will be given, in regu- lar course, three years after graduation, to those students who, after leaving College, shall have devoted themselves to scientific or literary pursuits. As already intimated in the previous section, the degree of A. B. may be obtained by a longer or shorter period of study, depending upon the number of branches pursued at one time. Under all ordi- nary circumstances, three studies at once will be found quite suffi- cient, thus occupying with the course the usual period of four years. In cases of great ability or remarkable application, this time may be shortened ; but the cases are very rare where such a shortening of the course is not of at least questionable utility. The Faculty and Instruction Committee, at all times, reserve the right to increase or diminish the number of studies pursued, if such diminution or addition of labor will, in their opinion, be for the advantage of the student.

A distinguishing feature of this College is the great care which has been taken to secure the personal comfort and social interests of all. Attention is paid to preserving the health and strength of the students. Regular daily exercise in the open air is insisted upon ; for which the extensive grounds connected with the College afford great facilities. A large room is appropriated to the girls as a play- room and for light gymnastics ; and a spacious and well-appointed gymnasium for the boys will be completed before the close of the present school year. The building is thoroughly ventilated and well warmed. Baths supplied with hot and cold water are daily accessi- ble to the students. Students of both sexes, under the supervision of the officers of instruction and government, are associated as in a well-regulated family, and the experience of the last two years has proved their influence upon each other to be highly beneficial. The labors of each day are terminated by a general meeting for reading selected portions of Scripture and other suitable books, followed by a period of silence before retiring for the night. On First-day morning, a religious meeting is held, attended by the students, teachers and members of the household. Students should be supplied with six towels, six table-napkins, two clothes-bags, a wrapper, slippers and umbrella, together with the requisite toilet articles. Every article must be marked with the full name of the owner. Students, before coming to the College, should visit a dentist, in order to avoid one of the most common causes of interruption in study. Students are not allowed to receive visitors on the first day of the week, and must not be disturbed in their studies or recitations at any time. Commemoration Day is the last Fourth-day of the Sixth month. The school year commences ten weeks thereafter, and continues forty-two weeks. Besides the vacation of ten weeks in summer, there will be two vacations of one week each during the school year, and two others of two days each. Permission to enjoy the vacations of two days each will only be granted upon the written request of parents or guardians. Students are not expected to return home at other times, except in cases of sickness or domestic affliction. The name of the station at the College, upon the Philadelphia and West Chester Railroad, has been changed to Swarthmore, and a Post Office and Adams Express Office of the same name have been established there. The price of board and tuition, including all the branches taught in the College and Preparatory School, is $350 a year, one-half payable in advance, and the remainder on the first day of the Second month. This sum includes the use of books, and those who wish to retain them will be furnished with them at wholesale prices. Day scholars will pay $200 per year, one-half payable in ad- vance, and the remainder on the first day of the Second month. This includes dinner with the resident students and the use of books. 43 There will be no extra charges , but students will buy their own stationery ; those pursuing the study of Practical Chemistry will pay for the chemicals which they use in the Laboratory ; and a charge will be made for the abuse of books or other College prop- erty. Payments are to be made, by check or draft, to the order of William Canby Biddle, Treasurer, payable at No. 509 Commerce Street, Philadelphia. 4
