Co-educational Features.
Although Swarthmoie College was
Jounded bv the nllglous Society of
Fi lends, theie Is nothing seut.ttl.in in
the mauagement of lite institution.

equality ot man and woman might bo

men and women h.ie fiom the Ht.st

management and In the faculty of the
tollege. Their Inteiest In education
was not for theii sons alone, but tor
the daughtets also, and In consequence,
Swaithmoie has fiom Its beginning
been a e o-ediicatlonal college.
In pilmaiv and ptepaiatoty schools
among Ft lends, hi othei s and sKsteis
Iliac alwavs woiketl side by side In
the class-ioom. it .scorned a mo it
natural thing, theiefoie, that when
the college opened for advanced studv,
hi others and slsteis should still go on
together. It was also the belief ot the
foundeie ot Swaithmoie that college
lite should, as far as possible, continue
the habits and i elation, and the con
sequent blessings of home life; that
the sons should be saved fiom what
Piesident Ballnntine, ot Oberlin, names
"bairack life," and the daughteis fiom
what is often the moibid .seclusion of
com out life.
Home-like Advantages.
This plan is piactlcable for a college.
As in the home, each member of the
college household piesenes his Individ
uality; his .special needs becoming
known to those dunged with the per
sonal weltaie of the student. The
dully llle is modelled upon home life,
