1 Introduction to Swarthmore College

Swarthmore College, founded in 1864 by members

of the Religious Society of Friends as a co- educational institution, occupies a campus of 425 acres of rolling wooded land in and adjacent to the

Borough of Swarthmore in Delaware County, Pa.

It is a small college by deliberate policy, with an enrollment of approximately 1,600 students. The

Borough of Swarthmore is a residential suburb

within half an hour's commuting distance of

Philadelphia. College students are able to enjoy

both the advantages of nearby rural settings and the opportunities offered by Philadelphia. The College's location also makes cooperation possible with three nearby institutions, Bryn Mawr and

Haverford colleges and the University of

Pennsylvania.
