The movements which resulted in
the founding of Swarthmore College
had their inception soon after 1860.
Since the separation of the Society of
Friends into two bodies in 1928 the
facilities for higher education had
been limited to members of the lib
eral or so-called Hicksite. body. The
need of such facilities became more
and more manifest. however. and final
ly assumed the proportion of a religi-
Gus concern in the minds of leading

there arose Il movement for the found
ing of a college. Funds We're raised
by popular subscription. the college
corporation being a stock company.
AS a result of this movement the
sum of 100000 was collected and in

ing was destroyed by fire in 1851. and
an additional sum of 100000 WAS inn

of which is in giving them their sub
