But has the effort been good enough?

4 Since the late 60's the Haverford faculty had seriously questioned whether the col­ lege's students were, in fact, receiving a liberal" education. Virtually all distribution requirements had been dropped, and a 1tre11gthened advisory system had been looked to for ensuring breadth in men's edu­ calion. Somehow it hadn't worked as well as hoped, though.

Many of even the best students were found to be taking course programs that seemed disturbingly narrow in scope. The challenge of the mid-70' s was to find ways of making sure that students got meaningful lnadth in their education along with the depth of their chosen major.

Simultaneously the faculty worried about preserving its own academic vitality in ~ofthe fact that as a body it was relatively young, heavily tenured and unlikely to grow llllCh in size over the next two decades. In addition, the delicate balance between hi;l-quality, pre-professional preparation and broad education that Haverford had lbuck so successfully in the past was in danger of being upset by pressures from the outside-expanding professionalism and MrSpecialization.

The college's response? A new commit­ But one with a difference. In the fall of 1974 the faculty created a funded body cal­ led the Committee on General Programs.

While the Committee might develop new courses within regular departments, it would also create interdisciplinary offerings (One of the first was a very successful "Sci­ ence and Public Policy" seminar) falling di­ tectly under its own jurisdiction.

If promoting what Rufus Jones called "the spiritual health" of Haverford students was the thing the college sti II tried to do best above all else, the institution showed that this concern remained vigorously alive. While undergraduates at some other col· leges and universities in America were dis­ mantling campus codes of ethical conduct, Haverford students were reaffirming the im­ portance of the Honor Code in their college life. And Haverford president John R. Cole· man was sti II receiving letters like the one he got last November from a 1971 graduate, now a practicing lawyer, saying: "I measure what I do today by whether it would be acceptable at Haverford. My expectations of myself and other people are based on the performance I observed at Haverford ... ln experiencing Haverford and learning some· thing of the higher levels of accomplishment which are possible, I obtained a standard which helps me now."

D ENRICHMENT PROGRAM WORKS ••• An "academic enrichment" program, called the Saturday Program, run by Haverford and Bryn Mawr students for inner-city high school youths, recorded its largest enroll­ ment since it began seven years ago. Haver­ ford sophomore Michael Hicks, coordinator of the 1975-76 program, reported that 60 students from three Philadelphia high schools are currently enrolled in the prog­ ram. Courses in such areas as chemistry, mathematics, photography, Black studies and Spanish are taught by 11 college stu­ dents, who are members of Haverford's Black Students League, Bryn Mawr's Sister­ hood and the Puerto Rican Students at Haverford. According to Hicks, high school counselors' interest in the program has in­ creased because it has proved successful in motivating students to continue their educa­ tion in college. Counselors select students to attend the program based on their ability and potential to do college preparatory work.

" He was one of the people we really looked up to-and I still do," says one of Swan's former students now attending Haverford.

"He has a way of breathing life into the classroom. He was the type of teacher you could get the most out of, because he put so much of himself into what he taught. You just had to admire and learn from him.

Swan says he taught physics. Generations of his students say he taught them more­ much more. So much, in fact, that when he retired in 1972, the senior class yearbook called him "Mr. Westtown", intimating that the title honored the school as much as the man.

Swan arrived at Westtown in 1930, hav­ ing just graduated from Haverford. Thereaf­ ter, for more than forty years, he taught sci­ ences, coached several sports and served Westtown in a variety of administrative posts.

"I had a wide range of interests and the school had a vast array of needs, so we matched up pretty well," Swan says.
