For fifteen years he has been building, not only in bricks and mortar but also in strength of faculty and student body. College presidents point with pride--and rightly so--to the buildings that rose on campus during their terms of office. Dr. Smith can claim as lasting marks of his tenure the DuPont Science Building in 1959, and in the same year, the Willets Dormitory for women. Then, after the Centennial Year, the Philip T. Sharples Dining Hall, the Worth Health Center, the Charles A. Dana and the H. Thomas Hallowell dormitories for men, and the Thomas B. and Jeannette L. McCabe Library. But he likes to feel that his greatest accomplishment has been in the building of a -strong faculty and student body. In the last ten years Swarthmore students have received two Rhodes Scholarships, 28 Fulbrights, seven Danforths, 153 Woodrow Wilson, and 81 National Science Fellowships. Four named professorships and three endowed Centennial Chairs have been established; and the Julien and Virginia Cornell Distinguished Visiting Professorship brings outstanding professors for one or two terms to the College from abroad.

"Super week," as it was known by the students, will go down in the history of the College as a time when students and faculty really engaged in dialogue. "It is our feeling," President Smith said in the preface to the reports, "that if the independent liberal arts colleges are to remain strong and grow in strength, they must analyze their educational problems realistically, anticipate future developments, and take appropriate steps promptly. Some hard thinking about basic academic issues needs to be done now, to define prospects and goals for the years ahead." Certainly Swarthmore did this in its studies and is now implementing the recommendations made last year.

Chairman of the Admissions Policy Committee Concerning your letter inquiring about the status of policy relating to the admission of Negro students to Swarthmore College, the follow~ng can be sairl at this time: 1) The Committee will be meeting next week to make final revisions in a tentative statement of policy recommendations to be submitted to the faculty for discussion. It is anticipated that such a discussion will take place immediately after the return from Christmas vacation. After having ascertained faculty views on the matter, we intend to distribute the tentative recommendations to all Negro students in order to ascertain their views on the subject. Hopefully a fi~al policy .statement would then be forthcoming within a week or so after that. This timetable would allow us to take such policy into consideration before making admissions decisions for this year . 2) The reasons why it has taken nearly a full semester to bring forth policy recommendations should be clear to anyone who has read the Phoenix during that period of time. 3) The Committee has (and will continue to do so) consulted all Negro students--including SASS and its members--on matters relating to the admission of Negro students. However, since all of us on the Committ~e c~~ry other responsibilities in the College, we have had to bring our efforts to a conclusion as best we could within the limited time and r e sources available to us. We have patiently waited for repli es to inquiries made in a letter sent to all Negro students last October 21st, but as ye t have received not a sing le reply. (See especially the last two pages of the attached letter; please also not that this letter preceeded your Council meeting of Nov. 6 by fifteen days.) �4 _''' T he ' -Co~", 'rf i" Lt: C' , ·,mc{_ 'tr' h elL - q"c " r i - (;1,- S - , d.
