The History of the Colle e N this, her centennial year, Richmond is proud to call herself the Quaker City. Becoming early the metrop- olis of that part of the Society of Friends who in so great a measure settled eastern lndiana, it has been ever since l82l the place of the annual session of the lndiana Yearly Meeting, and now as a thriving city welcomes the Friends each year with new gladness. And so it was at Richmond that, when the time came, the crowning unit of Quaker schools was to be placed. The Friends have always been be- lievers in education.
