Swarthmore College is a private liberal arts college in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1864, with its first classes held in 1869, Swarthmore is one of the earliest coeducational colleges in the United States. It was established as a college under the Religious Society of Friends. By 1906, Swarthmore had dropped its religious affiliation and officially became non-sectarian.
Parrish Hall, named in honor of the first president, Edward Parrish (1822–1872), contains the admissions, housing and financial aid offices, along with student housing on the upper floors.
Alice Paul and David Kemp, two of the newer buildings, won the American Institute of Architects Housing Awards in 2010.
