THE SWARTHMORE HONORS PROGRAM, initiated in 1922 by President Frank Ayedelotte, has come to distinguish Swarthmore’s educational processes and results from those of most other colleges and universities. In recent years about 90% of those majoring in physics have either obtained doctoral degrees or are currently pursuing graduate work in physics at schools such as Cornell, Yale, Harvard and Princeton; the complete list includes at least 20 different universities. Swarthmore graduates are on the physics faculties of more than 25 colleges and universities, as well as on the staffs of most of the national laboratories.
