RECALL EARLY DAYS OF EARLHAM COLLEGE IN DIAMOND JUBILEE

Diamond Jubilee,. June 4-7, Outstanding Feature of Earlham Commencement

I The diamond Jubilee of Earlham college, June 4-7, will be the outstanding feature of the commencement exer- . Wrfses here this year. The old Friends'

Boarding School, which was the fore'runner of Earlham college, was opened June 7, 1847, and the many incidents that have transpired in the development of the schoof Into a modern college will be recalled in a pageant "and by speakers, including Herbert C. Hoover, secretary of the department f commerce. Richmond and vicinity was early settled by Friends from North Carolina and Pennsylvania, who brought with them the Quaker belief in education, almost as strong as their religious belief. By the side of their early churches stood their school house, and every year as, they gathered in their "yearly meeting" at Richmond, they gave much attention to the subject of education. As early as 1832 they began a movement towards the establishing of a chool which should reach higher in the field of education, than the primary and academic schools of their local communities. As Richmond was the center of Indiana and Ohio Quakerism, and was the place of their annSal gatherings, as well as one of their best "Monthly

Meeting Schools," the idea was pro-

school at this place, which should be for the use of Friends' children. The Yearly Meeting of October, 1832 saw two farms purchased on the Kational road .then five years old, upon which the promoters of the proposed school intended to erect their institution. Eut many years of hard

and discouraging work was before them before they realized their wish. t In five years they only succeeded in raising a sum of $215.53 for the buildJng of the institution and the prosecution of the work, and yet with sublime Xaith they did not give up, but worked on with the hope that they would succeed. Kept Work Alive. The men who kept this work alive by their energy and buoyancy were: Elijah Coffin, of Richmond, Ind.; Daniel Williams, of Green's Fork, Ind.; Henry H. Way, of Fountain City, Ind.; Benjamin Fulghum. of Richmond, Ind.; James Pegg, of Dublin, Ind.; Aaron White, of Raysville, Ind.; George Evans, of Spiceland, Ind.; William ' Hobbs, of Salem, Ind.; William Crossman of Cincinnati; Charles Osborne, of Wilmington, Ohio; George Carter, of Grasy Run, Ohio; Thomas Evans

and Thomas Arnet, of Waynesville, Ohio. In May, 1838, the contracts for brick and lumber were let for Earlham Boarding school, although only a little over one-half as much was then subscribed as the contracts called for, $4,000. But the building was erected little by little, and for nine long years the future of the boarding school alternated between hope and despair, until finally on Monday, June 7, 1847, the Friends' Boardine School was

opened, with great thanksgiving on the part of its friends. Ideals Preserved. The school had a distinct "atmosphere" from the very first It wa3 a co-educational institution there was not the ordinary discrimination p.gainst women. The founders were advocates of the principle of peace, of

civic righteousness, of moral and re-1 ligious training as well as intellec-'

tual development and while we would smile now at some of their rules and regulations, not only have the domi- . cant ideas been preserved, but each one of them has gained recognition s a necessary feature in any well organized system of American education. These men were more than pioneers and promoters they were prophets. The school was not large, but the ouality of work done was good. The old boarding school produced such good men as William Penn Nixon, for many years managing editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean; Joseph Gurney Cannon, of Danville, 111.; Francis T. White and Mordecai Morris White, hankers, of New York and Cincinnati; Judge Vincent Carter, of Indianapolis; Achilles Cnthank, civil engineer, who constructed important works in Asia and South America; and Hiram Hadley, a great teacher in Indiana and

elsewhere, and the "Father of Edu-tation,"-and state superintendent of public instruction of New Mexico. Chartered in 1859. The college was chartered in 1859, and was christened Earlham. Away the ancestral seat of the Gurney's, at Knglish banker and prominent minisler among the Friends gave $50 to the boarding school fund; later his widow made a larger gift, and the name, of the ancestral seat of the urney's. at Norfolk, England, "Earlham Hall," was adopted by the committee. The officers and teachers of the new college were men and women of such refinement, sccholarship and character that the college at once possessed an enviable prestige among educational

Institutions. It would be fair to say, 1 think, that this presige has been mainained during the years.

Earlham was not only a leader in Ihe field of co-education, but in the field of advanced practical instruction in science. For instance the first chemical laboratory In the state for college purposes was established at Earlham as well as the first collection of material for a museum of natural

history, and the first college observatory," at which for many years the transit insturments taken from Fort Sumpter and loaned to Earlham by the United States government has been in use. Remarkable Museum. Earlham also was the first college of liberal arts in the state to grant credit for work toward a degree in manual training and domestic science. Today the college has not only a remarkable museum named in honor of the second president. Joseph Moore but six well equipped scientific laboratories in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, psychology and domestic science. These early days of the Institution were characteristic of the days of all nloneer education. The advantages

offered by the institution were few. Only the most essential of furnishings were provided, and tradition hands down the tale that the provender was not calculated to surfeit. The build

ing was yet unfinished ana megrounm, shadeless. The school year consisted! m of two terms of twenty-three weeks,' V with the tuition from thirty and thirty, j five dollars a terra. No record show3j the number that originally enrolled, ! but there is a statement of Prof. Estes

that during the first eleven terms, 250

young men had attended the school,

and that they were in great demand as teachers. Corps of Officers In the year 1855 the building now known as "Earlham Hall" was completed and the corps of officers and instructors were: Superintendent David Hunt. Matron Elizabeth Hopkins. Instructors William B. Morgan, Joseph Moore, William Haughton. Sarah Morgan and Josephine Quinby. Through the years the officers found a growing tendency on the part of the students, to leave the institution, if possible, for colleges where they could

graduate and receive degrees. Since i

one, some of the more progressive of its friends urged upon its reorgani-; zation upon the basis of a college, and to ask for a charter from the state legislature. . This matter was first!

broached In 1856, but the conservative

fathers questioned whether "degrees

were not too much of the flesh to introduce into a Quaker institution. But progress conquered and In 1859 a charter was granted by the state and the "Friends Boarding School" became "Earlham College." May Day Events The May Day events which will take place on Monday afternoon, June 5,

members of the student body. The May Day exercises, scenes of which are presented above, are exceptionally

impressive. The last big presentation of this program at Earlham was in

1911 and it was again scheduled for

last year, but was postponed till tb5 t

year to form part of the Jubilee celebration. The events which will take place on

Monday afternoon are the crowning of the May Queen, the revels of the Morris men and the presentation of old English plays, "St. George and the Dragon," "Tragic Interlude of Pyramus and Thisbe," "The Hue and Cry After Cupid" and "The Sheep Shearing Scene from the Winter's Tale," by Shakespeare. The pageant will he presented in the evening of the same day. Rehearsals in the various scenes which form this dramatic presentation are being, held daily by the students who are taking part in the pageant Hoover to Speak Commemoration Day, Tuesday, June 6, will be mainly taken up with the

meetings of alumni and Herbert Hoover will give the principle address of

the day. In the morning there will be a grand parade of all old Earlhamites and present students followed in the afternon by the speaking and the big alumni banquet. On Wednesday the commencement exercises will be held in the morning with the pageant being staged for the second time in the afternoon. In case of rain on Mon

day the May Day events will be given on Wednesday afternoon and the pageant Wednesday evening. The combination of Jubilee program pageant and May Day events form the grandest celebration that has ever taken place at Earlham and will represent the steady development of the college through its seventy-five years of history. A great number of alumni will be gathered for the commencement times and in addition to the celebration of the past, activities of the college it is expected that plans for the future growth of Earlham will also be formed. Earlham has had enrolled at one time or another a great number

of men. and women who have made records in their activities after college. Prominent Speakers The Jubilee committee of which Pro

fessor E. P. Trueblood Is chairman, has secured prominent speakers of the country to appear at the commencement time. With Herbert Hoover as the principal speaker. President Aley of Butler, President King of Oberlln, delivering the commencement address, Rev. Elbert Russell giving the baccalaureate sermon, Dean Stanley Coulter of Purdue, Profesor Hadley of Penn College and Elwood C. Perisho speaking at various times during the celebration, there is no doubt but that addresses of exceptional talent will be delivered.
