Excerpt from The Halcyon of 1922

(Dr. Miller and Dean Alexander, as those two Swarthmoreans who have known President Swain longest and most intimately, were asked to write articles about him for the Halcyon. The results follow, one in the form of a letter, the other as an article):

Dear Mr. Editor:

It is with great pleasure that I undertake to comply with your request. I am afraid. however, that I cannot approach the question of Dr. Swains personal qualities in a judicial manner. Thirty five years of intimate association - always helpful to me - has led me to endow him with almost superhuman qualities. He was my course adviser and teacher for four undergraduate years and for one graduate year. I taught in two universities in a department of which he was the head. Since 1895, I have been a professor in an institution of which he was president. The self-same qualities which characterize him as a great teacher and a great colleague have made him a great president. In each of these capacities he has been a leader, - a leader of an ever-increasing throng of forceful men and omen; a throng that contains neither a drone nor a weakling.

He believes in the gospel of work. He has worked very hard himself and found great joy in it. It was a tradition among his students that no one ever came to his classes unprepared. He has an uncompromising sense of loyalty, to an ideal, to a cause to which he devotes himself. To such a cause he gave his best powers, enlisted the best in others, and he never was contented until the best that could be obtained was a part of such an institution.

He engenders the same spirit of loyalty in his co-workers. His students of Mathematics (Dr. Swain was a professor of Mathematics) are students of Mathematics now, located in the colleges and universities of this country. Many of them have contributed to the mathematical literature of the country either in the way of books or to the leading mathematical journals. The same spirit pervaded his faculties.
