BOWMAN TO ASK GOVERNOR TO POSTPONE CONVENTION?
L. S. Bowman, auditor of Wayne county, said today that he was seriously considering appearing before Governor Goodrich with the recommendation that he call a special session of the legislature for the purpose of repealing the act calling for a delegate convention to revise the constitution of the. state. This act was passed by the legislature last winter. The convention is to be held next January and delegates will be elected at a special election to be held in September. For this election there will be a registration of voters, scheduled to start in Wayne county, May 21, and continue until some time in August. Time Is Most Inopportune. "I believe that this is a poor time to attempt a revision of the state constitution," said Mr. Bowman, who, incidentally, is president of the Wayne County Constitution Revision Forum. "The nation is now at war and the public interest, consequently, is absorbed with the grave questions arising from the war. I do not believe Indiana people are prepared to give intelligent consideration to a revision of the constitution now and it will be the

helghth of folly, In my opinion, to attempt such important action until the public is ready to give the question interested study." Mr. Bowman also pointed out that if the work of revising the state's basic law was indefinitely postponed the state would be spared a large expenditure of public funds necessary for the election of convention delegates, including the registration of voters, and for the holding of the convention. He
points out that with the nation at war
it is important for the state to care fully husband its financial resources

Richard Warren Barrett, a member of the Board of Trustees of Earlham College, stopped in Richmond on his return to New York City and made the following statement in reference to the action of the Board of Trustees at Indianapolis on Saturday, May 12: The Board of Trustees of Earlham College met in special session at the Claynool Hotel, In Indianapolis, at 10 o'clock Saturday, May 12. 1917. All the members of the Board were present except Allen Q. Mills, of Chicago. The Board took up and .discussed the situation in which Earlham. along with all other colleges in the country, will necessarily find herself during, the present war period. College to Continue Work , The Board was unanimous in deciding that Earlham Colleg will continue ing that Earlham college will continue brought about by the war. President R. L. Kelly's resignation was read to the Board and accepted. This was a matter of detail owing to the fact that President Kelly has made definite arrangements to take up other work. There were many expressions of appreciation for what President Kelly has done for the college and the members of the Board, without exception, wish him success in his new work. The Board then appointed a com mittee of the faculty consisting of Professors Charles, Hadley, Hole and Lindley to take charge of all matters that have to do with the work of the next college year, and to direct the college until such a time as a new president may be chosen. Committee Rulea College
This committee was appointed by the Board without any consideration of priority, and the Board was led to take this action in reference to the management of the college until the election of a new president, owing to the successful management of Col
orado college -during the year Just ending by a similarly chosen faculty committee. The action of the Board in appointing this committee was unanimous. The Board was not ready to elect a president for the college largely owing to the unsettled war conditions of the country. The Faculty Committee appointed by the Board was given such full and complete power to carry, on the affairs of the college during the comparatively short interval while the college will have no president that none of the Interests of the college can suffer. Every department of the college
will be continued and its high stand
ard will be maintained in every re
spect. No changes of any kind will be made except such as may be neces
sary to fully co-operate with the pub
lic authorities of the state and nation.
The Board canvassed the student
situation very carefully and such re
ports as It received show that the college will not suffer as seriously from a falling off in the number of students
in attendance as was anticipated at
the time the country entered the war. The Board of Trustees, the faculty and the college will be foremost in serving the state and nation but believe that the nation will be better served by maintaining Earlham College at a high state of educational efficiency irrespective of war conditions. The Faculty Committee appointed by the Board will co-operate with the president of the college in all matters pertaining to the college un
til the end of the college year when the committee will become the executive body of the college. This committee is to elect its own chairman, if it finds it advisable to have a formal organization. It is purely a commission form of government, in which the authority of each member of the committee is the same, and has been tried and "proven in other colleges and is especially adaptable to the present situation at" Earlham. It is promised the co-operation of the Board, and it is believed that It will receive the hearty co-operation of the faculty and student body and of the Friends of the two Yearly Meetings.
