When the college's iconic Parrish Hall was gutted by fire in 1881, it was immediately rebuilt, rising, some noted, from the ashes like the bird found in [[Egyptian mythology|Egyptian]] and [[Greek mythology]]. Thereafter, ''The Phoenix'' became the name of the campus newspaper.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/pacscl/ead.html?start=25&fq=date_facet:%221900-1950%22+AND+date_facet:%221950-2000%22+AND+subject_corporate_name_facet:%22Swarthmore+College%22&id=PACSCL_swarthmore_6Q020phoeUSPSH|title=Swarthmore Phoenix Records, 1884-1953|website=dla.library.upenn.edu|access-date=April 16, 2021|archive-date=January 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111020856/http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/pacscl/ead.html?start=25&fq=date_facet:%221900-1950%22+AND+date_facet:%221950-2000%22+AND+subject_corporate_name_facet:%22Swarthmore+College%22&id=PACSCL_swarthmore_6Q020phoeUSPSH|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archives.tricolib.brynmawr.edu/resources/6q020phoe|title=Collection: Swarthmore Phoenix Records &#124; Archives & Manuscripts|website=archives.tricolib.brynmawr.edu|access-date=January 10, 2021|archive-date=January 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111045539/http://archives.tricolib.brynmawr.edu/resources/6q020phoe|url-status=live}}</ref>
