The college suffered some loss during the year from fire and wind. One evening during the Fall term, a tire was discovered by the night watch 'In

In putting out the fire before the department arrived. It was the first - real test at the efficiency of our sys

aevere wind tore oft the slate from a

portion of the roof of Lindley -hall.

The repairs cost the college $60.60. Educational.

with the other standard colleges of

.he state a test in written composition as required of all Freshmen at the

opening of the year, and throughout

the year members of the faculty worked together in an effort to improve

he written and oral English of stu-

ents. Faulty habits of expres

sion are brought from the homes by

students, and teachers of the state both in colleges and schools are making a special effort to establish right

habits, along these lines. Hereafter Earlham will require of all students work In practical composition and

Rhetoric during the Freshman and

Sophomore years.

A marked gain in scholarship was

assured also by legislation ot the fac

ulty requiring an examination ot ac

tual class work of a satisfactory character, of students seeking Fresh

man credit for extra work done in High Schools and Academies. In other words all students will hereafter enter the Freshman class no mat

ter how much extra work they may have done in their preparatory schools unless they gain the higher standing

by examination. The custom of ex

changing credits, hour for hour, with standard colleges will ot course not

be changed by this ruling.

Quite extensive Improvements were

made during the year In the chemical

and physical laboratories to meet the

increasing demands In these depart

ments. A large number of students can now be accomodated In these

sciences and the quality of the equip

ment Is such as to make possible the

highest grade of college work.

With the opening of the new col

lege year In September, Walter C.

Woodward. Ph. D., the University, of California and a graduate of Earlham college will Join Professor Lindley as

Assistant Professor of History, 'Assis

tant Professor Hirsch with drawing at

this time for further study. Professor Laurence Hadley .will be acting head of the Department of Mathe

matics, Professor W. O. Mendenhall

having been granted a year's leave of

absence, and he will be assisted dur

ing the year by Balnard Benton Rob-

bins, A. M., Indiana University,

Through the resignation of Lucy Francisco, for the past four years head of the Department ot Music, It became

necessary to reorganise that depart-

ment Laura E. Gaston, a well known

musician and successful teacher ot

Richmond, will have charge of the In

strumental work and will be assisted

by Edna Hecker. For the vocal work

we have been able to secure the ser

vices of Aurele Borris. head of the De

partment of vocal teaching In the Marlon Conservatory of Music. He is

of German birth and training, having

been In America but a short time. He

le a vocalist of great ability and a

teacher of pronounced success. By

special arrangement we are able to fx the cost of lessons at a very mod

erate sum.

Health.

For the first time In six years

death occurred among the student

body. Malcolm Robbins who lived at his home in Richmond, died December

1, 1909. He was a young man of much

talent and unusual energy and gave

promise of a useful career. The general health of the etudents was good,

The college exercises much care and

expends considerable money In main

taining the health of Its members

and the results the past year were

even more than ordinarily gratifying.

A few contagious diseases got a slight

start among the students but In each

case through the vigilance of the nurse

and other officers of the college the

progress of the disease was soon stop

ped.

The Earlham nerd or much cows

was given the tuberculine test and all

were found to be in good condition.

Walter Carpenter and Allen Jay.

We are called upon this year to re

cord the demise of two of the makers of Earlham college. Walter Totten Carpenter became Superintendent and Treasurer of the Boarding School two

years before the college was organised and occupied the position with

two short . Intermissions until 1873.

During tho period of transition from

Boarding School to College, he waa

virtually the executive head of the In

stitution. Ha proved himself a constructive leader for he had "a surefooted mind." As treasurer. In spite of the debt, he placed the institution upon a sound financial basis, he or-

tganlsed the boarding department, he

successfully managed tire farm and he

beautified the campus. But hit In

fluence was not only felt In the ma

terial development ot the college; he waa just the man the faculty needed at this critical Juncture to Insist up

on high standards of admission and

sound scholarship. To an unusual de

gree) In the various phases ot college

administration his word was recognis

ed aa final and was unchallenged. La

ter he served the college for many

years as a member of the Board ot

Trustees and he waa distinguished un

til his death for his open-mlndedness

and his sound Judgment

Allen Jay was another one of Earlhara'a remarkable Superintendents

and Treasurers. The record of his work In this capacity and as a member

of the Board ot Trustees and Financial

Agent of the college is briefly stated

In the minute adopted by the Board

of Trustees and found In the report of the President Amoe K. HollowelL

A more extended statement of It by the preeent writer, may be found In the Allen Jay Memorial number of the

Earlhamlte Issued during the Spring term. .Hie contribution to the finan

cial progress of the college, and his Influence as a spiritual guide of all

the members of the college were en

tirely beyond our power to estimate. In his death the college has suffered

a tremendous blow under the Influence ot which we are still staggering. But

men inspires us to renewed effort in the further extension ot the influence

of the college to which they gave so

much ot their valuable thought and

strength, and which they verily be

lieved to be an Instrument of God In the promotion ot the cause of Christian education.

Religious Life.

The religious life of the college

during the year was one ot quiet growth In depth of experience and

breadth of knowledge of spiritual

things Owing to the absence ot Mur

ray 8. Kenworthy pursuing advanced studies at Harvard University, there

was but one teacher In the Biblical

Department, and only half the usual number of courses offered. Never

theless the enrollment In the Depart

ment was nearly equal to that of last

year. Altogether 111 courses were taken by 73 students. Fourteen of

these made the Bible their major sub-

ect

All the students who had a desire

to do practical religious work outside the college found opportunity to

preach or teach Bible classes In the meetings near Richmond, In the city

M. C. A., hnd two mission Sunday

Schools.

In February a series of meetings

lasting a week was held at the college under the direction of Professor Rus

sell, assisted part of the time by J. C.

Day, minister of the Presbyterian church of Irvlngton and by Marjorie

Melcher, State Secretary of the T. W.

C. A As a result of this work, be

sides the general deepening of the re

ligious life of the students, about thirty young men and five young women made their first confession of Christ

as their personal Savior, since enter

ing college. Instead of the reaction

which often follows such efforts, these

meetings were followed by a steady growth in religious Interest and ac

tivity. The Sunday evening and mid

week prayer meetings, which often show a decline during the Spring term continued to grow In attendance and

power to the end of the year.

The regular activities of the daily

chapel, Sunday morning service and Christian Association prayer meetings

were maintained as occasions ot spiri

tual blessing throughout the year.

The new West Richmond meeting.

which is held in the college chapel en

abled the students to worship and par

ticipate In the organized activities ot

Bible school and under church con

ditions more nearly normal than they

had enjoyed heretofore. After they

grew accustomed to the change the

students quite uniformly felt "more like they were at home" under the new

arrangement. The interest in the vol

unteer Bible classes of the Christian

Associations was well kSPt up, and un

der the stimulus of the Layman's Mis

sionary conventions, held at Dayton, Ohio. Indianapolis and Chicago, all of

which were attended by members of the college, the interest In foreign missions and the enrollment In the mis

sion study classes were decidedly in

creased. Ruthanna Simms of the class of 1909, will assist In the Depart

ment of Biblical Instruction -next year.

offering elementary courses to those

who have not had the advantage of full preparation.

Financial Condition. The financial condition of. the col

lege continues to be a matter of great concern to Its managers. 'It will be recalled that a year ago the building and administration debt was reported

as being over sixty thousand dollars. The unpaid interest on that debt last year was about four thousand dollars, and this year over three thousand, seven hundred dollars, which sums ma

terially Increased the debt.

At the session of Western Yearly

Meeting a year ago, a member of the Board of Trustees subscribed $1,500 and two other members $550. Other members of the meeting subscribed a total of $761. At Indiana Yearly meeting, Mordecla Morris White, sub

scribed $10,000, which during the year he paid. Other members of the Board

of Trustees and Faculty subscribed $3,-

180," and members of the meeting not officially connected with the college subscribed $1,802. The total amount subscribed at -the two yearly meetings was $17,793, of which the Trustees and Faculty subscribed all but $2,563. The statement wa made, that these subscriptions might be paid as late as January 1, 1911. so that much of the money la aa yet unpaid. Later in the year the Commercial club of Richmond appointed a committee which In

conjunction with a committee of the

Young Men's Business club was en

couraged to raise funds for the college

debt A leading member ot the com

mittee nunuing a . business engage

ment abroad during the summer, two

other -members were obliged on account of business and health to spend

a large part of the summer outside

jot the city and the chairman of the

committee la now abroad so that the

committee la not yet ready to give; their final report.

For the past two years there would

have been a gain tn administration except for the burden of Interest on the

debt As the number of students In the different departments increases. It is inevitable that there be more teaching force, and the salaries of Profes

sors should be increased aa the cost of preparation and the cost of living advance and yet only four hundred'

dollars more waa paid last year on salaries than the year before. This represents an actual sacrifice on the

part of the Faculty members some of whom were offered larger salaries elsewhere and one of whom waa lost on that account

All the tree scholarships have been

withdrawn except to ministers ot the gospel tn college attendance, the

scholarship account this, year being $2,400 less than the year before. The

charges for board during the summer

term were Increased and all the profit

went to the college. The potato crop, however, was poor and there are cer

tain constant expenses conf ectrjl with the administration for which there is

no corresponding income. The col

lege has forty acres of campus and

her friends would be sorry to see it ill-kept The college keeps a night watch, and a nurse and manages a

laundry, all for the protection and convenience of students. The mainten

ance and upkeep of the museum is a

heavy financial drain upon the admincome. Some of the departments of income. Some of the departmens of instruction are not self supporting and are always a burden from the strictly

financial point of view, and yet to drop these departments would be to lower the standing of the college and

decrease its efficiency in training lead

ers. A modern college with the equipment and atmosphere of Earlham is not a money-making institution. It is expensive business to educate a boy or a girl, but it is ' more expensive business to leave him uneducated. The only question is will the members of the two yearly meetings assume part of this burden or will they shift it to other and possibly less capable shoulders. Earlham must have better financial support from Friends in general or she must lose in efficiency and take a lower place in the educational world.

In order that Friends may have the opportunity of giving this support the college has appointed Lester C. Haworth as field representative. He is a recent graduate of Earlham, full of enthusiasm and energy and devoted to his Alma Mater. We bespeak for him a cordial reception as he visits the different communities. He will do his part we feel sure and we most earnestly ask that the response on the part of Friends be commensurate with the importance of the cause. We ask the official Indorsement of the yearly meetings in the effort to secure financial assistance from the membership. At the beginning of the new fiscal year, September first, a modern, system of book-keeping will be installed, specially devised by an expert accountant for the use of Earlham. The members of the Board of Trustees and

all others who are interested will now be able to inspect the financial progress of the college throughout the

year,1 through the monthly statement j provided by this system. Finley Newlin will remain as treasurer, although

the increasing duties of the Earlham i

postoffice will consume a large part

of his time. Edgar A. Fisher of tl

class of 1910, a book-keeper of exte

sive and successful experience w assist In the treasurer's office.

The attention ot patrons should b.

called to the tact that the treasure is instructed to require payment o

the term expenses at the time of class'

flcation. By reducing operations to t

cash basis much embarassment anf

exoense will be saved. Studentt

should come prepared to meet this qulrement of the board.

Every effort Is being put forth t:

the management to tide over succesr fully this period f financial strec created by rising prices of provision

and labor and the unexpected bulk ing debt

An educational Institution shoul never cease to grow. It will" be a grea

calamity when the friends of Earlhair

are entirely satisfied with the pre gress made. It is not especially d sirable now that our numbers increas

but there should be a constant lir

provement in the facilities for mor-

efficient work in character buildinf

Earlham college has Just fairly begu'

its career. Greater things are to b

accomplished in the future. If tb' college Is to continue to carry on lt-

work on the high plane demanded o

the exceptionally strong institution

in this wonderful era of educations

development there must be a great!;

increased endowment. The rate a'

which the endowment is increasing tc

day is not sufficient to insure an e

ceptionally strong institution tomor row. More powerful forces are ope

rating today in the Held of educatio:

than ever before In human history

Durinjt the next few years certalr

American colleges will assume a poei tion of permanentfy commanding in

fluence and certain others will be per

manently left behind. Earlham to

eether with many other colleges Is

now in the balance and nothing but

liberal financial assistance will guar

antee for her a position among the first class colleges of the immediate

future. Very Respectfully. ROBT. L. KELLY.

With a splendidly equipped acting organization William F. Mann's ultra sensational tale of civic debauchery

and police scandal, "Shadowed by

Three" takes its place as the first big

production of the year to command re

markable attention. A dozen well

known managers had shied away from

the play after reading the manuscript.

Then along came Mr. Mann, whose previous acute understanding of Just

what the public will stand, and really
