Earlhdm College Semicentennial Conspectus TdiNT (II- ii;w l l)i, can a just estimate lie made t the wuith, vitality and tendencies of an insti- tution, as complex and as important in its functions, as a colleg-e, until a point in its life has heen reached, at which a retrospect of con- siderable breadth is attainable. Fifty years of a college-public will show three human generations, in such relation to one another and in such manifestation of qualities and tendencies, as to afford a fairly satisfactory basis, upon which to reckon worth and vitality. The first generation will still be objectively present, at its work, except the forward fringe of it, which has been melting away long enough to show something of the finish, it is making ; the second will be in the first lustrum of its chosen and established work ; while the third will be swarming over the walls of child- hood, showing its life and qualities to everv one. THE UKHv FORWARDS Earlham College is one, probably the most distinguished one, of the spiritual children of Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends. Early in the decade of 1830, this great body of religious people foimd by its annual reports that there were in its families between 6,000 and 7,000 children, of whom two-thirds were more or less deprived of the guarded religious education that has been the ideal of this church, ever since the days of its founder. It is true they had at the time the best private schools of the country, for they always planted those twin civilizers, the school house and the meeting house, among the first things they did, in every settlement they made. But the immigration from Caro- lina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and Xew England had poured their families into the new country so rapidly that their Monthly Meeting Schools were incompetent to educate the children. There were not enough schools: there were not enough ((ualificd teachers for the schools that were. It was at this time.
