Earlham college has raised $25,000 by subscription, in a special campaign for the Earlham endowment fund and now has adopted the slogan, "The biggest sum possible before January 1," in its endowment fund campaign for $325,000 to secure an offer of $75,000 from tfie General Education board. President Kel- announced today that $150,000 is expected to be the amount of the subscriptions by January 1 when the time limit for raising $125,000 expires. The board of trustees of the college will ask an extension of time in which

to secure all funds available in case

the education board decides to close the contract on a prorata basis.

The trustees of the college here re- i

ceived a check for $25,000 from the estate of Mordecai Morris White, the deceased Cincinnati banker and Earlham benefactor. It had been said that in the division of the estate, Earlham would receive only a small share of the amount set aside by Mr. White in his will. To give the citizens of Richmond an opportunity to aid the college, subscriptions will be solicited from friends of Earlham. The subscriptions will be payable in five years and in case the general education board grants the college an extension of time to raise the remainder of the $325,000 fund, these subscriptions will be void at the option of the donor. Since Saturday, $3,000 has been raised in this way. We are confident we can raise the $325,000 we first set out for," President Kelly said today. "We hope that the education board will grant us the time extension although the offer to close on a prorato basis is a generous one. We had already been practically assured of receiving $25,000 if we raised $125,000. "We are pleased with the way Richmond citizens are showing their appreciation of the college. Many knownothing about the opportunity they have to benefit the college now but we will advertise it as far as possible before the first of the year. President Kelly stated that since the check for $25,000 was received from the White estate, placing the college in a position to get the $25,000 from the educational board, the labors of the campaigners will not be lessened but every worker will try to add to the amount already realized. Before his death, $50,000 had been given the present fund by Mordecai M. White, $25,000 in 1911 and the same amount In 1912, making $75,000 he has given the endowment fund. It has been estimated that he and his brother gave between $400,000 and $500,000 to Earlham college while they lived. President Kelly said today that the amount he gave as the endowment fftnd, did not, include what had been raised by Field Secretary Nicholson who has not made a report of his last week's work and that probably more than $140,000 is the amount "of the fund. The work will close at midnight New Years Eve when all agents will prepare reports of the work they have done. The greatest effort of the campaigners is being put forth now and will be continued Tuesday and Wednesday.

Word has been received of the death of Oliver Posey, a former Richmond boy, in California. Mr. Posey and John Wingate of Milton left Indiana in 1857 before they had attained their majority. Both were skilled at the carpenter trade and made their first attempt to achieve fortune by building a number

of houses in Nebraska upon the site ;

where they expected that a railway under course of construction would make its terminus. The town did not become the terminus, however, and they lost their stake. They repeated the same attempt a few years later in another place and again lost out. Undaunted they entered the hardware business in Colorado and in a few years had a chain of stores and were on the high tide to prosperity. Made a Fortune. Mr. Posey obtained a number ol mining claims, one of which, the Tomboy, yielded a fabulous amount of silver. He married the daughter of a Montana lumber king and took over his interests after the death of his father-in-law a few years after the marriage. It is understood that he made and lost several fortunes during his career. Besides his immediate family he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Mary Sands, North Twelfth street and Mrs. Charlotte Jones, of Milton. Mr. Posey's mother was at one time housekeeper at Earlham college, while his father was also employed at the institution.
