Co-educational Features.
Although Swarthmore College was
founded by the religious Society of
Friends. there is nothing sectarian in
the management Of the institution.
Belief in the intellectual and spiritual
equality of man and woman might be
named a cardinal doctrine of Friends.
and in accordance with this principle
men and women have from the first
worked together upon the board OF
management and in the faculty of the
college. Their interest in education
was not for their sons alone. but for
the daughters also, and in consequence,
Swarthmore has from it's beginning
been Il cO-educatiOnal college.
In primary and preparatory schools
among Friends, brothers and sisters
have always worked side by side in
the classroom. 1t seemed "a most
natural thing. therefore, that when
the college opened for advanced study,
brothers and sisters should still go on
together. 1t was also the belief of the
founders of Swarthmore that college
life should, as far as possible. continue
the habits and relations and the con-
sequent blessings of home life; that
the sons should be saved from what
President Ballantine. of Oberlin. names
"barrack life," and the daughters from
what is often the morbid seclusion Of
convent life.
