O knihe

Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Catalogue of Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pa;, 1882-83: With Minutes of the Nineteenth Annual Meeting of the Stockholders

Swarthmore College was founded by members of the religious Society of Friends, in order to provide the children of the Society and others with opportunities for higher education under guarded care. With this object in view, a property of 240 acres was secured in a rural district ten miles from Philadelphia, on the Central Division of the P. W. And B. Railroad. It is accessible by trains from the Broad St. Station, sixteen times daily. About half the land is used for farm ing purposes, providing milk and vegetables for the College; the remainder is devoted to lawn and pleasure grounds, Crum Creek, which forms the western boundary of the property, affords facilities for boating, bathing and skating. The portion of the grounds bordering the stream is of great picturesque beauty. The building site is high, thus securing perfect drainage and pure air, and command inga fine view of the surrounding country for many miles.
