How Do You Pronounce "Swarthmore"?

For years, Swatties have searched for the answer to an elusive question: What is the right way to pronounce "Swarthmore"?

President Smith said it best at orientation for class of 2020: Just don't call it Skidmore! LOL!!!!

No lies told, my office was down the hall from Donna Jo’s and she’s always a wealth of knowledge.

love the horn, so classic, its the worst most obstructive noise on campus with the exception of the bell tower, such good comedic timing, i love it, it's a classic when it goes off in class and the professor rolls eyes! lol

My dad went here and I’ve always heard him say it without the first r, but everyone else who I’ve ever talked to say it with the r, I personally like the first option as i think it sounds nicer so it was nice to see that pronunciation reinforced by the schools etymological origins

[@juliedipietro2147]

[@Firemane42]

Oh dear... I think that's something only the admin knows to keep the donor family happy 😅

[@maurarubley6501]

The ending was perfect! I pronounce the R. 😊
