                        A BRAVE NEW WORLD FOR INVESTING


With the clarity of hindsight, we can now see that the past two decades
composed one of the great cycles in the history of the financial markets, as
reflected in the chart below.


.      During the 1973-1982 decade, the nominal total returns (capital change
       plus income) of stocks and bonds averaged only about +6% per year; cash
       reserves averaged more than +8% annually. However, high inflation rates,
       averaging 8.7% annually, devastated these nominal results. Real returns
       (nominal returns less the inflation rate) for each of these three major
       asset classes were actually negative.


.      During the 1983-1992 decade, quite the opposite situation prevailed.
       Nominal returns for stocks and bonds were close to their highest levels
       in history and forged well into double-digit territory. To make a good
       investment environment even better, inflation was tame (averaging 3.8%
       annually), and real returns were solidly positive.

                            [EDGAR REFERENCE -- BAR GRAPH]

This sharp contrast provides us with perspective for the decade that will end
in the year 2002. Some investors will fear a recurrence of the returns of the
first decade, while others will hope for a recurrence of the second; most will
likely anticipate something in between. Whatever the case, there are two
essential elements involved in considering your investment program in the light
of today's circumstances.

       First, the yield of each investment class at the start of a decade has
had an important relationship to its future return. Yields were low when 1973
began, high when 1983 began, and are again low today. In fact, current income
yields are remarkably close to the levels of 20 years ago, as shown in the
following table.


                       Income Yields (January 1)
                   ---------------------------------------
                   1973           1983       1993 (12/31)
- ----------------------------------------------------------
STOCKS             2.7%           4.9%          2.7%
BONDS              5.8           10.7           6.0
RESERVES           3.8           10.5           3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------

But there is a second important element to consider: inflation. It got
progressively worse during most of the first decade, but got progressively
better in the second.

                   ---------------------------------------
                   1973           1981      1993 (12/31)
- ----------------------------------------------------------
INFLATION          3.4%          12.4%          2.7%
- ----------------------------------------------------------

Today's low yield levels suggest that more modest nominal returns are in
prospect for the coming decade than in the 1980s; indeed, returns could
gravitate

CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:

The 1993 fiscal year of Vanguard Small Capitalization Stock Fund, which ended
on September 30, was an outstanding period for stocks with small market
capitalizations and therefore for your Fund. While the unmanaged Standard &
Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, with a total return of +13.0%, enjoyed
a strong year, Vanguard SmallCap Stock Fund garnered a remarkable return of
+31.6%--nearly two and one-half times as large.

        That said, I would note that the Fund's total return (capital change
plus income) fell just a bit short of the return of the unmanaged Russell 2000
Index--the benchmark that we use as our matching standard--which consists
primarily of stocks with small market capitalizations. Here are the comparative
results:

</TABLE>
The Fund's total return is based on net asset values of $12.63 per share on
September 30, 1992, and $16.23 on September 30, 1993, with the latter figure
adjusted to take into account the reinvestment of our annual dividend of $.18
per share from net investment income and a distribution of $.15 per share from
net realized capital gains. Both payments were the result of our operations
during calendar 1992.

THE FISCAL YEAR IN REVIEW

It was a "small cap" year almost from beginning to end. The +33.2% rise in the
Russell 2000 Index--in which the average company has a market capitalization of
$270 million--was far greater than the +13.0% rise for the Standard & Poor's
500 Index, dominated by large "blue chip" stocks with an average market
capitalization of $15 billion. Given this more than 50-fold differential in
company size, it would be surprising if such periods of disparity in the
returns of the two indexes did not arise with some frequency.

        During fiscal 1993, the disparity was created, to an important degree,
by substantial weakness in some of the largest stocks in the Standard & Poor's
500 Index. Two areas hit particularly hard were drug stocks (resulting in part
from fears about the Administration's health-care proposals) and "name brand"
stocks (companies for which brand loyalty no longer seems to assure
ever-ascending earnings). Despite the fact that such "consumer staples" issues
composed fully 26% of the weight of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index at the
outset of the Fund's fiscal year, the Index's total return was a fairly
satisfactory +13.0%.  Interestingly, excluding the performance of the consumer
staples stocks, the total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index would have
been +21.4%.

        On the other hand, the small capitalization Russell 2000 Index
benefited greatly from its insulation from the large consumer staples stocks.
                                                                     
                                                                     
                                                                     (Continued)

[EDGAR REFERENCE - S&P 500 AND RUSSELL 2000 INDEX LINE CHART FOR 1989-1993]

At the same time, financial and technology stocks carry a substantial weight in
the Russell universe (38% of market capitalization vs. 20% in the Standard &
Poor's Index), and these two groups led the small cap market upward by a
dramatic margin. Without these stocks, the total return of the Russell 2000
Index would have been +21.3%, virtually identical to the return on the
"consumer staples free" Standard & Poor's 500 Index as noted above.

        Of course, differences such as these are what make financial markets
interesting and challenging. Nonetheless, each phase of the market has its own
character, and there is no assurance--indeed, no possibility--that small cap
stocks will be as successful year after year as they were in fiscal 1993. The
chart above shows the cumulative returns of the Russell 2000 Index and the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index over the past five years. You can see that the
results favor large capitalization stocks by a solid margin: small stocks +86%;
large stocks +98%.

        While the chart reflects periods of relative strength for each Index
over the past five years, it actually understates how striking the variations
in performance have been from one year to the next, as shown in this tabulation
of annual returns:

The table should make it crystal clear not only that the return of the two
indexes vary widely, but that the returns of stocks in general tend to be quite
volatile.

THE FUND IN FISCAL 1993

Vanguard Small Capitalization Stock Fund enjoyed a competitive 1993 fiscal
year. Our return of +31.6% compared favorably with the +31.7% return for the
average small company fund. While, our ability to match the performance of the
Russell 2000--the Index we have chosen as our "tracking" standard--was again
reaffirmed, our tracking was not nearly as close as we would expect over the
long term. We came within -1.6 percentage points of our benchmark during the
past fiscal year, compared to an average shortfall of -0.3% since we moved to
our index-matching strategy four years ago.

        I suppose it is worth emphasizing again the challenges of matching the
Russell 2000 Index: (1) the Index has no operating expenses, while our Fund's
total expenses last year created an unavoidable "drag" equal to 0.18% of
average net assets; (2) the Index comprises 2000 stocks, while our Fund owns
only about one-half that number, albeit carefully selected to minimize our
random tracking error, which can be positive or negative in any given period;
(3) the Index exists only on paper, while the Fund has to buy and sell "real"
securities, a relatively expensive business in the markets for





                                       2
<PAGE>   5
[EDGAR REFERENCE - PERFORMANCE LINE CHART VANGUARD SMALLCAP, AVERAGE SMALL CAP
AND RUSSELL 2000 INDEX]

small cap stocks; (4) the Index experiences no cash inflow or outflow, while
the Fund must invest or liquidate securities with cash flows (the 1%
transaction fee paid by investors when they purchase new shares mitigates the
impact of this cost). This last challenge is often greatest in a year like
fiscal 1993, when fund assets more than doubled, from $202 million to $432
million. About $155 million of this increase represented cash flow; market
appreciation accounted for about $75 million.

        The question has been raised lately whether the so-called
"inefficiency" of the small cap markets makes an index strategy less
appropriate than in a large cap market such as the Standard & Poor's 500. Can a
small cap index compete with managers who have demonstrated particular skill in
their evaluation of small company stocks? Our vote is a strong "yes." Even if
there are managers who display great skill in selecting small cap stocks, there
are, inevitably, managers who display no skill. (To be sure, identifying the
former in advance is no mean challenge.) That, after all, is what indexing is
all about: (1) avoid the worst performing funds from one year to the next; (2)
relinquish the opportunity to own the best performers; and (3), by virtue of
low portfolio turnover, minimal expenses, and the absence of substantial
advisory fees, outpace the average manager over an extended period of years.

        Thus far, the jury of the marketplace is still out, in part because
mutual funds investing in small company stocks concentrate more on
faster-growing, lower-yielding growth stocks than on the more cyclical,
higher-yielding value stocks that dominate the performance of the Russell 2000
Index. A true comparison of "like with like" is therefore problematic. That
said, Vanguard Small Capitalization Stock Fund outpaced the average small cap
fund over the past two years. However, largely because of an unfavorable
comparison (for both the Fund and the Index) in our 1990 fiscal year, the
average annual rates of return for the four years since we adopted our "index
matching" strategy on September 30, 1989, were: Vanguard Small Capitalization
Stock Fund +11.0%; average small company stock fund +13.6%.

If it does nothing else, the chart provides a clear view of our rationale in
moving in 1989 from a conventional "active management" strategy to an
unconventional "passive management" strategy. For the first six years of the
period our results were erratic and, quite frankly, unsatisfactory relative to
both comparative standards. During the past four years our results have been
relatively consistent from year to year, comparing favorably to the Russell
2000 Index but still lagging somewhat behind the average competitor. So, it
remains to be seen whether our index strategy can restore the Fund's long-term
record to respectability.

IN SUMMARY

Following a three-year period during which small capitalization stocks have
been market leaders, it would be imprudent not to offer a word of caution. The
equity markets--and particularly smaller stocks--have come a long way in a
relatively short period, and presently hover near record highs. With interest
rates at their lowest levels in two decades and stock yields near historical
lows, there are surely going to be some difficult bumps along the way during
the next few years. You should expect that, in the case of Vanguard Small
Capitalization Stock Fund and other small cap stock funds, any market
volatility will likely be magnified. In rising markets, so much the better, but
in declining markets, so much the worse.

        What should investors do in this environment? If you have a long-term
investment horizon, and are willing to accept with equanimity the inevitable
peaks and valleys of the stock market, equities should remain a major component
of your portfolio. Funds emphasizing stocks with smaller market capitalizations
may serve well as a component of your equity holdings.  However, an appropriate
position should be maintained among bond funds and short-term reserves, and
additional equity investments should be made gradually over time. Of course, if
you have a more limited investment horizon, a minor reduction in your equity
allocation may be appropriate.

        Whatever course you choose, we would recommend that you focus not on
annual fluctuations in absolute and relative performance, but on the long term.

Sincerely,

      Considering Vanguard's growing role in sponsorship of "market index"
funds,  we believe it would be useful to bring Vanguard Small Capitalization
Stock Fund under the "Vanguard Index Trust" umbrella, as are our five other
separate and  independent Index Portfolios.

      As a technical matter, the optimal way to accomplish this objective is to 
merge SmallCap Fund, in a tax-free reorganization, into Vanguard Index Trust, 
but as a totally separate and distinct investment Portfolio--the Small 
Capitalization Stock Portfolio.  The new SmallCap Portfolio will continue to 
operate under the same investment objectives and policies.

      The Board of Directors has determined that the inclusion of Vanguard 
SmallCap Fund as a Separate Portfolio of Vanguard Index Trust is in the best
interests of Fund shareholders for two reasons.  First, the reorganization
would eliminate the need to produce separate prospectuses, shareholder
reports, and marketing materials for the SmallCap Fund and the Trust, thereby
reducing Fund expenses.   Second, as a separate and distinct investment
component of the largest and oldest index mutual fund, Small Capitalization
Stock Portfolio would be more readily identified as an index fund.

      A proxy statement and additional information regarding the merger will be 
mailed to shareholders in December of 1993, but we wanted to take this 
opportunity to tell you about the pending proposal.



         


AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS*--THE AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS FOR THE FUND
(PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993) ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1 YEAR:   +30.21%        5 YEARS:   +12.20%        10 YEARS:   +5.85%

THE FUND'S AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FOR THE TEN-YEAR PERIOD INCLUDES A
CAPITAL RETURN OF +5.12% AND AN INCOME RETURN OF +0.73%. ALL OF THESE DATA
REPRESENT PAST PERFORMANCE. THE INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE OF AN
INVESTMENT WILL FLUCTUATE SO THAT INVESTORS' SHARES, WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE
WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST.

TOTAL INVESTMENT RETURN

The following table illustrates the results of a single share investment in
VANGUARD SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCK FUND, through September 30, 1993, including
the period prior to its conversion in September 1989 from an actively managed
portfolio to a passively managed portfolio. During the period illustrated,
stock prices fluctuated and were higher at the end than at the beginning. These
results should not be considered as a representation of the dividend income or
capital gain or loss that may be realized from an investment made in the Fund
today.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Vanguard Small Capitalization Stock Fund is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end investment company.

A.   The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of financial
statements.

1.   SECURITY VALUATION: Common stocks listed on an exchange are valued at the
     latest quoted sales prices as of 4:00 PM on the valuation date; securities
     not traded on the valuation date and securities not listed are valued at
     the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Temporary cash
     investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

2.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a
     regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income.
     Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
     financial statements.

3.   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Fund, along with other members of The Vanguard
     Group of Investment Companies, transfers uninvested cash balances into a
     Pooled Cash Account, the daily aggregate of which is invested in
     repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Government obligations. Securities
     pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Fund's
     custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of
     the agreement ensure that the market value of this collateral is
     sufficient in the event of default; however, in the event of default or
     bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
     retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

4.   FUTURES AND OPTIONS: The Fund may utilize index futures contracts and
     options to a limited extent. The primary risks associated with the use of
     futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change
     in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of
     futures contracts and options, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
     Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted
     daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is
     recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market
     based on the option's quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the
     value of such instruments are accounted for as unrealized appreciation
     (depreciation) until terminated at which time realized gains and losses
     are recognized. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to open
     futures contracts and options is required to be treated as realized gain
     (loss) for Federal income tax purposes.

5.   OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities
     are purchased or sold. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
     on sales of investment securities are those of specific securities sold.
     Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
     ex-dividend date.

B.   The Vanguard Group, Inc. furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate
management, administrative, marketing and distribution services. The costs of
such services are allocated to the Fund under methods approved by the Board of
Directors.  At September 30, 1993, the Fund had contributed capital of $68,000
to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing .3% of Vanguard's
capitalization. The Fund's officers and directors are also officers and
directors of Vanguard.

C.   During the year ended September 30, 1993, the Fund made purchases of
$234,421,000 and sales of $79,178,000 of investment securities other than U.S.
Government securities and temporary cash investments. At September 30, 1993,
unrealized appreciation of investment securities for financial reporting and
Federal income tax purposes aggregated $58,001,000 of which $84,711,000 related
to appreciated securities and $26,710,000 related to depreciated securities.

At September 30, 1993, the aggregate settlement value of open New York Stock
Exchange Composite Index, Russell 2000 Index and Standard & Poor's Midcap 400
Index futures contracts expiring in  December 1993, the relaxed unrealized
appreciation and the market value of securities deposited as initial margin
were $7,657,000, $79,000 and $199,000, respectively.

E.  The market value of securities on loan to broker/dealers at September 30,
1993, was $6,269,000 for which the Fund had received cash collateral of
$6,606,000.

F.  Effective in 1993, generally accepted accounting principles require that
differences between undistributed net investment income or accumulated net
realized capital gains for financial reporting and tax purposes, if permanent,
be reclassified to or from paid in capital. In connection with the adoption of
this accounting method, the Fund has reclassified prior years' permanent
differences of $248,000 from paid in capital to undistributed net investment
income and $7,249,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid in capital.
These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per
share.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Vanguard Small Capitalization Stock Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Vanguard Small Capitalization Stock Fund (the "Fund") at September 30, 1993,
the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial
highlights of the respective periods presented, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereinafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing
procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

toward those of the 1970s. However, the current level of inflation
suggests that future real returns may prove to be satisfactory. Looking
forward, the main risks to the investor are two: (1) that yields on financial
assets will rise sharply, reducing the prices of stocks and bonds alike; and
(2) that inflation, presently at moderate levels, will accelerate.

SOME COURSES OF ACTION

What, if any, present action should be taken by investors to deal with these
two major risks? Should your allocation of assets among stock funds, bond
funds, and money market funds be adjusted? Here are some reasonable courses of
action to consider:

.      For long-term investors who have built a substantial balanced portfolio
       of stock, bond, and money market funds, stay the course. Even if
       withdrawing from the stock market proves to be justified, the next
       decision--when to return--will one day be required. "Being right twice"
       is no mean challenge.


.      For long-term investors gradually accumulating assets for, say,
       retirement, stay your present course. Continue to invest regularly. By
       doing so, you buy more shares of a mutual fund when its price falls, and
       fewer shares when its price rises, virtually assuring a reasonable
       average cost.


.      For risk-averse investors who are highly confident that stock prices are
       "too high," make only marginal--not "all or nothing"--changes in your
       portfolio balance. Given the perils of predicting the future, any
       changes should be limited to, say, 15 percentage points. That is, if
       your normal portfolio allocation is 60% in stock funds, it might be
       reduced to 45%; if 85%, to 70%.

.      For investors who simply must have more income, never lose sight of the
       added principal risk involved in shifting from money market funds to
       bond funds. Long-term bond funds provide a generous and durable income
       stream, but their prices are highly volatile. Short-term and
       intermediate-term bond funds offer a "middle way" of increasing income
       with more modest risk to principal.

.      For investors who are tempted to find an "easy way" to higher returns,
       never forget that risk and reward go hand in hand. Precipitously
       replacing certificates of deposit with broad-based common stock funds
       verges on the irrational. Funds investing in other securities
       markets--emerging nations, international stocks and bonds, and small
       U.S. companies--carry their own special risks. Generally, limit such
       alternative investments to, say, 20% of your total portfolio.

For all investors, be prepared for sharp interim swings in stock and bond
prices. The central tenet of investing is "prices fluctuate," and sensible
long-term investors simply must take such fluctuations in their stride.
Successful investing is as much a function of your own discipline and
equanimity as it is of the returns available in the securities markets.

THREE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES

As we confront the brave new world of investing that may well lie ahead in the
coming decade--and it is important to think in decade-length terms--we would
underscore three caveats:

1.     Have "rational expectations" for future returns. At prices prevailing
       today, it seems highly unlikely that the returns enjoyed by investors in
       the past decade will be repeated in the coming decade.

2.     Maintain a balanced portfolio consisting of stock, bond, and money
       market funds. Each asset class has its own risk and reward
       characteristics. By allocating your resources among the three asset
       classes according to your own requirements, you can build a portfolio
       providing appropriate elements of capital appreciation, capital
       conservation, and current income.

3.     In balancing risk against reward, be sure to consider cost. Many mutual
       funds carry hefty sales charges or high expense ratios, or both.  Other
       factors held equal, expenses reduce returns, dollar for dollar. Put
       another way, high-cost funds must select investments with higher
       prospective gross returns--which entail higher risks--to match the net
       returns earned by low-cost funds.

This brief Annual Report essay can provide only an elementary look at the
challenges investors face today. History can give us perspective, but it cannot
give us performance. Famed British economist Lord Keynes had it right when he
said, "the inevitable never happens. It is the unexpected always."
