The seventy- five years of useful and glorious past give cause for congratulation. The thousands of students prepared for useful service, the high ideals inculcated, the breadth of vision given are all items of importance. If one were to consider only the men and women who have served Earlham as teachers and administrators it would be to see a group of splendid men and women who saw in service for Earlham an opportunity unsurpassed to serve their day and generation. But add to this group the members of the Board of Trustees, the interested members of the Society of Friends and those who have given of their means to finance and endow the institution, and where will you find a more splendid company of idealists. Perhaps 25,000 students have attended Earlham since 1847. These have come from and gone to all corners of the earth. They have entered all lines of occupa- tion. Onlv a few have failed to give a good account of themselves. ; Iany have achieved distinction. The large majority have served or are serving well the interests in their hands. Physically Earlham has grown fairly satisfactorily. Additional plant and equipment have come as needed for the most part. The plant and equipment are now well adapted to the needs, except in a few particulars. We are permitted during this seventy-fifth year to reminisce — to look back- wards and take stock of the past, but not merely for congratulation and felici- tation. We must learn the lessons of the past in order that we may make the future more glorious. As we call up the men and women, the ideals and standards, the attempts and the achievements of the past, we should remember the appropriate text of Scrip- ture — Wherefore being compassed about by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lav aside everv weight and run with patience the race that is set before us. What is the race set before us Manifestly it is to carry forward to greater perfection the work so well begun and the standards so splendidly estab- lished. The needs of the college are many and some of them urgent. A gymnasium adequate to meet the physical and social demands is perhaps the most urgent. Increased dormitorv facilities are much needed. ] Iore endowment must be secured. To falter or hesitate in the presence of these tasks would prove us to be unworthy successors of the founders of our college. We will go forward in their spirit and meet the needs as they met them. — D. I I. Edwards.

Today we are celebrating the Diamond Jubilee anniversary of our Alma Alater. Another milestone is being passed, a milestone that is being marked not only by an historical pageant, a May Day Eestival, a Diamond lubilee Saegasso, etc., but by the setting forth of a new generation of Earlham students some of them, many of them sons and daughters of Earlhamites. So although it may already be familiar to some, it might be well to briefly review the history of the institution. Earlham College is the outgrowth of the educational enterprise which char- acterized the pioneer settlers of eastern Indiana and western Ohio. Hardly had these pioneers made themselves at home in the new country when they began establishing institutions of learning. The first of these founded by the Quakers were monthly meeting schools. These soon helped create a demand for higher learning. So on the seventh day of the sixth month 1847 at Richmond was opened a Friends Boarding School. Maintained as a school of advanced grade until twelve years later in 1859 in answer to a demand for an even higher edu- cation the institution was incorporated under the name of Earlham College. Among the first contributors to its establishment had been an English banker, Joseph John Gurney of Norfolk, England, so when the boarding school was incorporated a college it was named after the ancestral seat of the Gurueys in England. The word Earlham is of Saxon origin and means literally, The Home of the Earl. Situated on the great road as the Friends referred to the National Road which lead into the heart of the unbounded west, Earlham occupies a a position which is strategic as well as picturesque. The earliest officers and teachers of the college were men and women from New England, whose refinement, force of character and scholastic attainment gave to the college from the beginning an enviable reputation throughout the west. From those early days to the present time Earlham has been progressive and has sought to meet the de- mands created by the steady growth of the institution. In 1853 the first begin- ning was made toward a collection of material for the purpose of college instruc- tion in natural history. The Joseph Moore Museum, founded at this time with a few minerals and fossils ' ' ' iStyr j v AN HISTORIC GYM CLASS K IgyT-xxxxxTxXxx n ' -— -- ' ' 1 Page twenty-two K ' v OLD OL- KERb ling within the Hmits of the west walk B .-wjrfaRC3i j- m st :i„ .i-, ,,-, ,,,i -hardly fill a peck measnre has grown until it is now recognized as one of the finest in the middle west, with nian ' thousand specimens. From the beginning the doors of the in- stitution were open to both men and women, making it one of the first coeducational col- leges in the country. Throitghout the seventy- five years Earlham has continued to offer equal advantages to men and women for edu- cational facilities and academic honors, in no degree lowering the character or standard of the work. In keeping with the Quaker cus- toms however, the men and women were first put under certam restrictions and the time is not too far distant for some of the present generation to remember when the youths were assigned to the east side of the drive in the after-dinner walk to kick the post and the maidens forced to keep at a distance by strol- The same restrictions applied to the chapel seating, the men occupying one side of the house and the women the other. To trace the growth of Earlham in detail up to the present time would require a historian and the acompanying suggestion of long volumes. The growth of the academic departments and student organizations are described elsewhere in this book. Let it suffice to say that the growth of the college has been as solid and healthy as the growth of the branching trees that line the drive and dot the campus. So as we take a Ijrief glance back over the founding of Earlham College seventv-five vears ago the meaning of the term Diamond Jubilee strikes us with even more force than before. The seventv-five years are years of growth, vears of con- struction, vears of service, all leading toward the goal of success. Xo one can say what the next twenty-five years, the next fifty, or the next seventy- five will bring forth in the his- tory of Earlham, but it is safe to prophesy that with the foun- dation that has been estab- lished the succeeding years will see a continued progress. historical pageant Page twenty-three fO:.

Those who have seen former May Days at Earlham are unciualified in the statement that the Earlham campus offers the ideal place for the presentation of the revels. The program mcludes the pageant which is made up of characters representing many old English customs and a series of old English plays. This, together with the winding of the May pole takes place on various parts of the campus. The historical significance of the day dates far back in English history. Throughout Great Britain and to a less extent France and Germany the first of May was formerly wideh ' celebrated. These festivities were direct descendants of the Roman Floralia, and of the feasts of the Druids in honor of Bel — the Apollo of mythology and the Baal of the Scriptures. The Druids celebrated the first of Ma} ' by lighting immense fires in honor of their god. Even to this day similar customs survive among the Irish and Scottish Highlanders. But the customs which survived most in the English festivities were those of Roman origin where it had been the occasion of a feast of flowers. It is a reminiscence then of Flora rather than of Baal. The exact date of the institution of the May games in England during the middle ages cannot be traced, but they date back as early as the fourteenth century. The King and Queen mingled with the subjects in these old English customs. The custom seems to have been for the people to go into the woods during the night and gather branches of trees and flowers and return with them at sunrise to decorate their houses. Cither observances were added from time to time. The May Queen was crowned and held one day ' s sway over her court consisting of f , f lftV , Bf Sg rt ' 0f ' Rob IX H(joD . XD His B. xd Page twenty-five r irxxx.x.x xx: M- morris dancers, Robin liood and his bantl, and generally of the villagers anil townspeople. A hobby horse was sent around among the spectators to collect contributions in a ladel stuck in its mouth. The May pole was the center of much of the interest and was usually made of birch and adorned with flowers and ribbons. Most of the May poles were only temporary, but a few of them were permanent. Among these was the famous pole erected in London in 1661 which was of cedar, 134 feet high, and which stood in its place about fifty years. One of the groups of characters which is included in the May Day revels is the milk maids, who dress themselves in their best and in former times called on their customers for some t rifling gift. A group of the maids, garlanded and wreathed with flowers, lead a cow also decorated with flowers while they dance around the animal to the tune of a violin or a clarionet. Young men clothed in jerkins are seen who appear like woodmen with their heads bound with large gar- lands of ivy leaves. Then comes Robin Hood attired in a grass green tunic with his bow in his hand and a sheaf of arrows at his girdle. He is accompanied by his band of outlaws who are also habited in green garments and who also carry bows and arrows. Maid Marian is part of this group and is followed by her retinue of attendants. After this in order, perhaps comes the May pole drawn by oxen and decorated with scarfs, ribbons, and flowers. When the May pole is drawn into the town square the foresters sound their horns and the rustics dance round and round the pole. The revels of the morris dancers follow. It seems that the morris dance came from the Moors in Spain and was introduced into the May Day customs in the sixteenth century. In this dance are the two principal characters, Robin Hood and Maid Marian. To these were added Friar Tuck, the hobby horse, the fool, the musician and sometimes a fiddler and a piper. The chimney sweeps and jacks-in-the-green are also prominent characters of the day. The former parade the streets decked out in finery enriched with strips of gilt and various colored paper. With their faces chalked and their shovels and brushes in hand they caper the chimney sweeps dance to a well known tune. The jack-in-the-green was a man inclosed in a bower of foliage made in the shape of a pyramid about ten feet high out of which peers his face. u K K 5 5 Chimney Sweeps p 9 i i K I Page twenty-six Vijf: ir£t7R (jEese Women It was also customary for the archers to set up their targets and to make trials of their skill. Robin Hood was always adjudged the victor and a prize in the shape of a garland of laurel embellished with ribbons was placed upon his head. The pageant is finished after the archery and the procession moves on to make wav for the villagers who assemble in the square and dance. TeIE Tr.XGIC iXTERLUDE OF PvR.

THE first colors of the college were cream and navy blue, adopted in May, 1890. After admission into the State Athletic Association in 1892 they were changed to cream and yellow. Maroon and white were chosen as the athletic colors in 1913. Earliiam had the first astr jnomical observatory in the state. The ' oice of the Student, the first college paper, appeared in 1866. The Day Students were first organized in 1904. They issued the first college annual, a S. rg. sso, in 1906. The first musical instrument introduced at the college was a Jews harp. Singing in devotional exercises was first permitted in 1867. In 1886 pianos were introduced and the music de])artment created. The first May Day program was given in 1875, in the girl ' s gymnasium, a simple structure at the southwest end of Earlham Hall. The initial JNIay Queen marched to the tune of a Jews harp. ■ Chase Stage was built in T ' ll, FVofessor Cleveland Chase having charge of the construction. Until 1887 when Einrlley Hall was built the Commencement exercises were always held out of doors. The college bell which now rings the dinner summons is the original bell and almost as old as the college itself. The design for the 1922 Jubilee stickers was made by La erne Jones W ' inslow.

Professor of English HE files of the Earlham Bulletin from 1862 to 1922 contain some interesting material on the evolution of the English Department. For many years English was considered so unimportant that it had no department of its own, faculty members in other departments giving a little of their time to the work. Two term courses in literature were given and strangely enough, these were offered by the profes- sors of science. A single term of text book rhetoric was required. In 1874 William Newby Trueblood entered the Earlham faculty and within a year at his suggestion the work in English was organized into a depart- ment. Professor Trueblood would say with Emer- son : Literature is a point outside of our hodiernal circle through which a new one may be described. The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it. We fill ourselves with ancient learning, install ourselves the best we can in Greek, in Punic, in Roman houses, only that we may wiselier see French, English and American houses and modes of living. However at the beginning of this depart- ment the courses in lan- guage were more empha- sized while the courses in literature are now gaining in prominence. E.xcept for the interim 1879- ' 84, which was filled l)y Professor William P. Pinkham, Professor True- blood served as head of the department until 1917 when at his own request he was released from ac- tive supervision of the work. Too much cannot be said of the service Professor Trueblood has ren- dered the college throughout his long and faithful professorship. Not only has he given to us his life but also his high ideals. Through unselfish devotion and a true love and loyalty for both the work and the college he continues to teach ANNA EVES, A M. Assistant Professor PHILLIP W. FURNAS, A.M. Assistant Professor H ' Mi .Hi : H N n !Mi Eixxxx ' x.x tTT : Page thirty-four VM. X. TRUEBLOOD, A.M. Professor his classes in S_yntax, Journalism, Drama and Emerson. In addition he holds the distinguished position of poet laureate of the college. Having been started on such a firm basis by Professor Trueblood the de- partment gradualh expanded to meet the changing educational conditions. More courses in literature were offered, composition was required of all stu- dents, and a deeper knowledge of English was ac- quired through courses in Anglo-Saxon and Middle- English. In 1908 the present freshman theme course was introduced and other changes made that were necessary to meet the requirements of a standard col- lege. To Dr. John Dougan Rea who became head of the department in 1917. credit is due for our present rules for majoring in English. In 1919 Professor C. E. Cosand became Dr. Rea ' s successor. Under his competent guidance the depart- ment has continued to enlarge the field of the litera- ture courses expanding materially. Two years ago there arose a demand for a course in contemporary literature. In the second semester of 1920- ' 21 Professor Cosand. along with his assistants Professor Root and Miss Eves, offered a two hour course in contempo- rarv literature which consisted of an intensive study of modern English and American essavs, poetry, drama and fiction. Earlham College is especially fortunate in ha -ing a man of such genuine worth at the head of this department, as to be chosen by In- diana University to conduct some of its extension work. With such a ersatile man as director, the English Department has a very promising outlook for the future. The hiterest of the students in this department mav be shown by the fact that there are almost as many students registered in the elective courses alone as there are students enrolled in the college. The iniluence of the English Department may be seen in the work of some of the students who have majored in it, such as Carl William Ackerman, Al- bert Xewlin and Sarah Addington Reid. The growing demands for English make it im- perative that the department ' s work be three-fold ; to give technical instruction in order to provide a workable equipment for correct expression ; to cover comprehensively the field of English and American litera- ture for those who expect to teach English or for those who go on for graduate work ; to pro -ide study of a cultural nature that will give a wholesome apprecia- tion of the artistic element of literature.

CHARLES, A.M. Professor of Modern Languages such a knowledge of the principles of the language — special attention being paid to correct foreign ])ro- nimciation — as will enable the student soon to lay aside mere translating, and begin to think in the language itself. Some courses in German were of- fered as early as 1863, but no provision was made for it in a department until the appointment of Calvin W. Pearson as Professor of history and modern lan- guages in 1870. When history and modern lan- guages were given separate departments Dr. H. C. Von Jagemann was procured as instructor soon to be succeeded by Dr. Adolph (ierber under whose guidance this department pros- pered. In 1904 when it was necessary for Dr. Gerber to resign because of ill health Arthur M. Charles became Professor of German and French, which position he continues to hold. Under his guidance the field covered by the French literature courses as well as that of German literature has been broadened. Short courses in French were offered as early as 1872 but as late as 1909 only two years of French were given. Thus the great development of the French language in the college curriculum is comparatively recent. The demand for French steadily increased from the begnning of the World War so that by the end of the war the study of French had largely re- placed the study of German. Assisting Professor Charles in French is Miss Pick, a native of Austria and Miss Ouigg who has studied in I ' rance. The introduction of Spanish into the course of study was largely in response to the demand resulting from the active participation of the United States in problems of international interest, namely, the Spanish-American War. The first course in Spanish was offered in the fall of 1904 with Carrie Lane Charles as instructor, but the course was not offered the following year.

Assistant Professor find the name of Mrs. Mary A. Jay Ballard, Instructor of Spanish, and Registrar. To this self-sacrificing woman much credit is due for the stable foundation and development of the Spanish courses. In the fall of 1918 Miss Auretta M. Thomas, who has studied in Spain and ] Iexico became a member of the faculty and at the end of two years, upon the departure of Mrs. Ballard, assumed the position as Spanish instructor which she still holds. Tout comprendre c ' est tout pardonner. This phrase of Renan might well he taken by a Modern Language department as its raison d ' etre, as the justification of its existence. It is a commonly ac- cepted fact that the studv of a foreign language offers values disciplinary, utilitarian, cultural. It trains the memory and the judgment ; it opens avenues of com- merce, and enables the specialist to keep abreast of the time in his own line of science : it widens mental horizons by the reading of the masterpieces of a great literature. But there is a fourth result of modern language studv, a result, more important in this year 1922 than all other values, is suggested b) ' the French dictum c]uoted above. Confronting the nations of this , „__„„,„_„ _— _,. _.™,„,, generation is the great problem of living together in harmony. Ministers, pacifists, economists and states- men are alike recognizing and asserting that mutual understanding, respect, appreciation, in fact, good will, between nations are essential to the solution of this fundamental problem. A nation reveals the essence of itself to the student of its language and its literature. As he comes to know the soul of a foreign people his prejudices slough away. Tout comprendre c ' est tout pardonner. The prejudiced critic becomes an admirer, an appreciator. a man of good-will towards the nation which he has learned to know. The study of foreign languages make for international good-will, for peace between the nations. Earlham being primarily a cultural college, has placed particular emphasis on the Modern Language courses in the curriculum. Special attention is given to the literature of Spain, (jermany and France, aft ' ording a broad comparative study for the student who is special- izino- in foreign languages. KATHRYX A. QUIGG, A.B.

ELSIE McCOV, A.M. Assistant Professor in Latin |RY Bones and Living Spirits is a phrase often applied to ancient languages. The classics are a veritable valley of dry bones, bones of dipthongs and hidden quantities, bones of case end- ings and verl)al inflections, bones of relative and temporal clauses, hideous, great bones of indirect ilis- course, meaningless bones of ablative absolute, monot- onous bones of parasangs and what Caesar did, mingled with the bleaching bones of pedagogy. And thus it may be if one fails to know that into these Dry Bones is breathed not only the breatii of a former civilization, rich in values Ijut also a breath of modern life which qualifies one to enjoy the fine things that this as well as other ages have produced. These Dry Bones are clothed with a living spirit which can lead one into a larger life by accjuaintance with the great souls of the past which reached heights attained only by the few. The ancient languages were very prominent in the early curricula of the college, the first professor of whom we have record, was Zaccheus Test 1860. Perhaps Alpheus McTaggart held the chair of Greek and Latin as long as any professor, his service lasting from 1869- ' 83. This department was at its height about the time when Marianna Brown, ( with whom many of us have become acquainted as the compiler of the 1922 Who ' s Who ) was assisting. Cleveland King Chase directed the work during the early twentieth century. Professor Chase was not only interested in Latin but in other activities as well, as may be seen in the erection of Chase Stage. When Dr. Lindley Richard Dean who became head in 1918, left, M. Elsie McCoy took over the Latin work and John R. Webb was placed in charge of the Greek. The purpose of the study of the classics is to as- sist students in becoming acquainted with the great spirits and the true culture of the classics.

M , PURDV,Ph.D. Prwicbi-ur ui Biblical Literature, College Pastor abr Srpartmrut nf ItbUral S ' ttrratur THE year of 1884 marks the beginning of a de- partment in which special studv was given the English Bible under the leadership of Dr. Dougan Clark. Students enrolled in the Biblical Institute were offered elective work in Greek and English: and upon the completion of the two year course were presented with a certificate at the graduation exercise. After eight years more instructors were obtained and it changed from an institute into the Biblical Depart- ment which sought to combine accurate scholarship with religious consecration. However, it was not until 1903, with the arrival of Professor Elbert Russell that all traces of this special course were removed and the Biblical work was organized in the same manner as other departments at Earlham College. Thus, the Biblical Department at Earlham has behind it a tradition of able and devoted instructors who carried into the classroom the true spirit of the college. •■There were giants in those days. Mth fearlessness and humility they applied the method of the laboratory to the study of the Christian faith and its sources in book and life. Where they stood in the presence of truth and the God of Truth, they were swift to heed the divine command. Put off thv shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holv ground. Because of their enthusiastic de ' otion and consecration to the work, a host of men and women, now scattered far and wide, bear witness to the value of the instruction received and also to the Christian spirit and life of the instructors. Still continuing in the pursuit of these noble ideals it is the purpose of the de- partment today, to emulate the splendid example of the past : that the same spirit of fearlessness and reverence may characterize its service in the honor of truth. This department is glad to stand on the same basis as the other departments of the college making its appeal to the student body on the value and importance of the studies offered as they may contribute to the personal and social needs. It is believed that the Earlham plan results in a higher standard of work and a greater influence over the life of the pupil, than the plan adopted in many de- nominational colleges in which Biblical work is required of all students. One of the most important factors which tends to emphasize the work of this field is the fact that many colleges accept Biblical work as a unit for College en- trance. This will increase the usefuhiess of the Biblical Department and will en- able it to do more satisfactory work, particularly because of the popularity of and sympathy with religious endeavors of the present day. The modern de- mand for emphasis upon religious education, already so keenly felt and ap- preciated, is enlarging the fields of such a department.

I-IERSCHEL COFFIN, Ph.D. Professor of Philosophy and Secretary of the College ®I| i iartntrut nf piitlnanpltg FOR those who do not know, it might be said that philosophy is nothing but an unusually stul born attempt to think clearly about the fundamental facts of the world. Philosophy attempts to see the world clearly and to see it whole. This world includes not only the natural world, known to physics, chemistry, astronomy and geology and all the natural sciences, but it includes besides the world of mind, as known to psychology, sociology, economics, political science and all the psychological sciences, as well as the Divine order as known to theology and metaphysics. It is the philosopher ' s task to try to see the whole in perspective, so that all these realities may be perceived not singly and separately but together and in their true relations as a universe. Some form of philosophy has been found in the curriculum since the found- ing of the Friends ' Boarding School, such suljjects as Mental Philosophy and Natural Philosophy were given as early as 1850. It seems, for the most part, that this subject was taught by the President of the college. Soon after Dr. J. F. Brown became professor in 1898 the department was enlarged, a year ' s work of pedagogy was offered making it possible to major in philosophy. In 1916 the department of Philosophy and Education was divided. Dr. Kelly becoming head of the educational work and J. Hers hel Coffin, who had been assisting since 1907, became head of the Philosophy Department. It has been said that no one ' s education is complete unless he has had at least a year ' s work imder Dr. Coffin. At present introductory courses are given in three divisions of work, a year each in psychology, ethics and philosophy proper, while an additional year is devoted to the study of a special field of philosophy, namely, the phil- osophv of religion. Since Earlham is an undergraduate institution, the aim of this department is primarily to present the varied materials of psychology, ethics and philosophy from a single point of ■iew so that those who take this work but do not pursue it further may have the basis for intelligent criticism and appreciation of the conflicting ideas that move men in the big world outside. But secondarily there is the equally conscious attempt to present the funda- mentals which are prerequisite to graduate work in each of the divisions. x M ' Mi fHl M IKI K rxxxxxxxxx Page forty Slrr irpartmmit nf iE itrattnn WALTER K DEXTER, Ed.D, Professor of Education N ATTEMPT on the part of educators every- - w here to place teaching on a professional basis has resulted in the enactment of laws which demand that the future teacher, in the elementary and sec- ondary schools, shall l;)e technically trained. As early as iy01- ' 02 a course in psychology of education was offered in the Department of Philosophy, but not until 1904 when Edwin Diller Sterbuck became professor of Education was Education made a separate depart- ment : however this did not last long, for in 19(l(i President Kelly was professor of the Department ot Philosophy and Education. Even though the two subjects were again given separate divisions in 1916 it was not until the professorship of George H. Hil- liard that the department took on the present form, placing special emphasis upon the training of high school teachers as required l:)y the Indiana law, and as provided for under the Vesey Law, making it pos- sible for students to obtain the Provisional Life License after two years of suc- cessful teaching. Walter F. Dexter the successor to Professor Hilliard has the distinction of having received the first Ed.M. degree conferred in the country and one of the five who received Ed.D. from Harvard where the degrees originated. Dr. Dexter oft ' ers four comprehensive courses : introductory, psychology, philosophy of education, history of education, and educational administration. Li addition to these several special methods courses are of- fered by other departments. The Public School system has grown to such an extent that leaders of the first rank are being selected as executives and administrators. The spirit of scientific inquiry, that everywhere characterizes educational endea ' or has brought dignity and honor to the profession. Then too, salaries are rapidly being advanced to a point commensurate with the responsibility involved. These factors are responsiljle for the increased attendance and interest in all depart- ments of Education throughout the LTnited States. It is hoped that the de- partment here at Earlham may be successful in its attempt to send forth teach- ers inspired with the idea that the most compelling factors in education are scholarship and friendship. Equipped with these attitudes the teacher cannot fail. Page forty-one H jKj ' Hi H [Hi :1 iK! !H ' i iHl ;H; ■Hi N N iKi iKi Ik H ; 1 H H H H i 51|r i purtmrnt nf l tBtnra H HARLOW LINDLEY, A.M. Professor of History and Gov ernment, and Lil:irarian ISTORY has been one of the essential elements n the curriculum since the founding of the insti- tution. The Department of History, since its first ince])tion, in 1887, has had but two changes in its leadership. Cyrus Hodgin gave to it its first dis- tinctive reputation both by his distinguished scholar- ship and his un(iualified devotion over a period of twenty-one years. Upon Professor Hodgin ' s death in 1908, Harlow Lindley, a graduate of Earlham Col- lege and at the time an assistant Professor in the de- partment, was appointed to the chair. Under his effi- cient direction through these thirteen years, the De- partment of History has been an unceasing source of inspiration to hundreds of Earlham ' s students. His influence has not been confined to Earlham College but through his books and as President of the Indiana Histori- cal Societv it has spread throughout the state. Besides covering a broad field in his history courses Professor Lindley teaches some courses in government and is librarian. Since the fall of 1918 Louis T. Jones, who has had varied experience as both teacher and traveler, (also bear and alligator hunter) has aided in guiding Earlham ' s inquiring youth through the tangled maze of ancient, medieval and modern historical problems. The work done in the Department of History is arranged with the following purposes in view: to give the student an insight into the development of the institutional life of the more progressive modern nations; to furnish the comprehensive knowledge and stimulus necessary for intelligent sympathetic citizen- ship; to give an introductory education for those con- templating business, journalism, law, or civil service as their profession. To say all in a nut-shell, Earl- ham ' s Department of History has had one crowning motive, that of genuine scholarship in this great field of social science. LOUIS T.

Morris. However, notwithstanding its recent formation, it has rapidly developed until at the present time it is one of the most popular branches of the college curriculum, which is due no doubt to the ever increasing number of Earlham students intend- ing to engage in business professions. To meet this present day demand for men trained in modern busi- ness methods it has been the departmental policy to develop this particular phase of the work by provid- ing in addition to a general course in economics, spe- cial courses in accounting, banking, business admin- istration, labor problems, and investment and insurance in political science has not been neglected, courses in international law, political science, and sociology being offered. The value of the department is still fur- ther increased by the practical knowledge gained through trips made by various classes to neighboring cities to study actual conditions in these localities. During the current year Professor lorris is on a leave of absence in Europe and Professor Lindley is again acting as departmental head. As last year. Assistant Professor Phillips continues to con- duct the courses in busi- ness administration and in addition the class in gen- eral economics formerly held by Professor IMorris. The class in sociology is under the direction of J liss Ethel Clark, Secretary of the Richmond Social Service Bureau, who has had much practical experience in this activity through her connection with the Board of State Charities.

Professor of Public Speaking and Supervisor of Athletics M)t i partmntt nf Pitbltr §p aktitg PUBLIC speaking- has played a vital part in the intercollegiate as well as the inter class activities of Earlham College. In the late seventies and eighties class exhibitions were held from which developed the Innior Class Oratorical Contest. Between 1880 and 1890 the other classes broke up this junior monopoly and some interesting inter class contests resulted. The Department of Public Speaking was organized in 1888 under the leadership of Professor Edwin Pritchard Truel ilood, and it has ])een under his com- lietent direction since that time. In the twenty-eight years that Earlham has com- jieted in the old line C ' ratorical Contest, she has won first and second place eight times respectively. Her success has been even better in the Peace Contests, re- ceiving iirst place six out of the ten times that she has participated. The debating teams have won twenty-seven out of forty-seven debates held since the college entered in this branch of activities in 1897. By the organization of an Indiana Debating League formed two years ago, each college in the league holds two triangular debates a year. This year the Earlham teams were very successful, winning their four debates and as a result of this, first place in the league. The Public Speaking Department has not contented itself with outside activities alone, l)Ut has taken a vital interest in promoting the training of better talkers in Earlham itself. Perhaps the most popular of these school activities is the Extempore Contest held once each semester, and open to l oth men and women of all classes. These extemporaneous contests are held in the chapel before the entire student body ; the winner being honored by having his name engraved upon a large silver cup donated in 1913 by thirteen former students .and members of the alumni. During the thirty-four years this department has been under the skillful supervision of Professor Trueblood, it has developed into a fundamental part of the life of the student body. To this competent and willing head of the department much credit is due, for through his whole-hearted and concentrated ■efforts it has become one of the most prominent and valuable departments to the student body and to the college. His untiring work and devotion to high ideals may well be understood when one considers the members of the alumni who are doing so much to mold public opinion in America and other countries. The Department of Public Speaking does not aim to give instruction in mere vocal contortions and gymnastics in gesture, but rather in the directness of ex- pression of thought in order to better enable the student to convince, persuade -and inspire. ixi hi V IV N H K XX X.

Stevens who was at Earlham during the Friends ' Boarding School davs. and Lawrence Hadley who was head of the depart- ment from 1902- ' 18. Robert L. Sackett entered the department in 1891 and remained until 1907, leaving to become part of the Purdue faculty. Another very prominent man in the Mathematics Department was illiam D. Mendenhall who is now president of Friends University, Wichita. Kansas. Florence Long has been assisting in the department since 1914. Earl- ham was successful in obtaining Dr. Elmer D. (jirant to become head of the department in 1920. Dr. Grant, a graduate of Colgate LTniversity, had taught in the Michigan School of Mines for many years. Under his leadership the department not only offers many courses in pure mathematics, but also courses in applied mathematics, such as mechanical drawing, descriptive geometry, elements of surveving. theoretical mechanics, astronomy. The subject of astronomy has been under the direction of the Department of Mathematics throughout its appearance in the cur- riculum. Li 1859 the Literary and Philosophical In- stitute, AVilliam B. Morgan, president, started a sub- scription for the building of an observatory, which was erected in 1860 largely through the efforts of Professor Morgan. Piers of masonry were con- structed for the permanent mounting of the telescope. Previous to this, the equatorial telescope was mounted upon a tripod kept in Earlham Hall. This telescope was a six-inch objective carried in a wooden tube. At that time it was the best one in the state. Li 1870 the lenses of the equatorial telescope were stolen and when replaced two years later, the wooden tube was replaced by a metal one. The transit telescope,. mounted in the west wing of the building, has been loaned to the college by the United States Govern- ment since 1861. The location of the observatory is: 39 ' 50 ' 26 ; Longitude, 5 hrs., 38 min.. 52 sees; Altitude, 1004 feet above sea level. FLrjREXCE LCiX(.;.

Director of Home Economics xxr TX, all|0 i partmrnt nf Ifnmr lErnnnmtrs STRANGE as it may seem the Department of Home Economics had its beginning in the Mathematics De- partment. When Professor Robert L. Sackett was head of mathematics he gave a course in Sanitary Engineering, in which class he observed that the young women became espe- cially interested. He asked his wife, a former instructor, to give the girls, separate work for a period of two weeks, emphasizing that for which there seemed a demand. Con- sequently many girls registered for this work the following year, and the popularity of the course increased until the demand justified an instructor to give courses in house plan- ning, sanitation and ventilation. In the fall of 1904 courses were offered in theory of foods, home nursing and the house under the supervision of Miss Elsie Marshall, who has been head of the department since that time. The need and value of these courses have been appreciated by the students to such an extent that in recent years even men have enjoyed parts of the work. Not until 1910 was a cooking lab- oratory equipped on the fourth floor of Earlham Hall. Rapidly outgrowing these quarters the basement of Parry Hall was equipped for laboratory and experimental work. This department everywhere in recent years has been called upon for service and suggestion because food at least helped win the war. This past year a very interesting as well as practically valuable course has been offered to major students in the department, that of household man- agement. Individual students visited assigned families, recommended l)y the Richmond Social Service Bureau and investigated and considered their needs in the light of the theories already studied. The task of each student was to solve the problems of her home in a sympathetic manner in the attitude of friend to friend; advising, supervising., or- ganizing or demonstrating as the situation demanded. This opportunity to put into practice the theories already ad- vanced and studied was appreciated by the major students as is shown by their continued interest in the friends thus made. During the spring semester, also in connection with the Richmond Social Service Bureau, there has been conducted by students a series of demonstrations on the preparation of food. At the same time lectures were given on the factors to be considered in the selection. Inlying, preparation and serving of food. While the nurses care for the babies in the clinic the mothers are thus not only allowed to sample correctly prepared, nourishing food, but are educated for one of the most important duties as home makers, that of economical, wholesome preparation and appetizing serving of food. Copies of the menus and recipes, which are selected to take into c onsideration the means and needs of the individuals, are typed and bound in loose leaf folders kept by each member of the class. Because of the popularity of this work the class has grown as large as the facilities permit at the present location of the Social Service Bureau. H GLADYS McCUNE. R.N.

MARKLE, Ph.D. Professor of Biology THE Biology Department as it exists todav began with the division of the Department of Natural Sciences in 1887. Previous to this one term course- in physiology and botany were offered. However, the present organization of the department into botany and zoology dates from the year 1901- ' 02. Throughout the period of its existence the de- partment has been exceedingly fortunate in the choice of the men who have directed it. The one who laid the foundation for this, as well as for practically all of the other science departments, is none other than Dr. Joseph Moore. A few years after Dr. David Worth Dennis came to Earlham. he was placed in charge of the Biology Department. He continued to serve in this capacity until his death eight years ago. Professor Dennis won recognition for the department not alone in Indiana and this country, but also in Europe. He was regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the Indiana group, and exerted a wide and powerful influence upon the scientific methods and spirit of his time. During recent years biology has been under the direction of Dr. Millard S. Markle. He is assisted by Professor Elliott who conducts the courses in zoology. These able successors of Dr. Den- nis have continued to bring honor and r ecognition to the department and to Earl- ham. The aims of the de- partment are several, among the most prominent being ; to prepare students for the study of medicine, .igriculture and related sub- jects in technical schools; to fiit them for pursuing graduate study or for teach- ing ; to give them such a knowledge of the principles of biology as will contribute to general culture. That the department has not been unsuccessful in fulfilling these aims is evidenced by the number of graduates who have won honor in institutions of higher learning throughout the countrv.

WILDMAX, M,S, Professor of Chemistry and Dean of Men ' HEMISTRY has been offered at Earlham since the early lioarding school days. As was the case with the other sciences, it was included in the Department of Natural Sciences. Gradually however, interest in chemistry and physics developed suffi- ciently to warrant the establishment of a separate department. This arrangement continued until the year 1907, when chemistry became a separate depart- ment and for the first time had the entire attention of one professor. It is worthy of note in connection with this de- partment that in 1853 a small room in the rear of what is now the Earlham Hall Association room was equipped for use as a chemical laboratory. Here for the first time within the state of Indiana, it was pos- sible for students to obtain laboratory instruction in short courses in general chemistry and qualitative analysis. Some fifteen years later a balance was purchased and a course in quantitative analysis added to the curriculum. The growth of the department did not stop here however, but continued until the room which had served as the first laboratory became entirely too small. To provide for this increasing need Parry Hall was con- structed in 1887 to house both chemistry and physics. Nine years later conditions again became so crowded that the physics courses were moved to other quar- ters. ( )f the men who have been instrumental in devel- oping this department. Dr. Dennis stands out as the first prominent figure. At the time chemistry became a separate department Dr. Harry Nicholls Holmes came to Earlham to direct it. He served until 1914, when he resigned and was succeeded l)v Dr. Lloyd Van Doren. Since 1919 the department has been under the able leadership of Professor Wildman assisted bv Dr. Doan, who have the added distinction of being the dean of men an d women respectively.

Vice-President of College, Cura- tor of Museum, and Professor of Geology. THE first printed announcement, dated lliird }i[onth 22. 1847, sent ont ad ' ertismg the opening of the Friends ' Boarding School, included geology in the list of subjects in which instruction was to be given. It was in this brief and simple announcement that the department of geology had its beginning. When the Boarding School was organized into a college in the fall of 1859, geology was included in the curriculum under the Department of Natural Sciences. .At first only onedialf a year was devoted to this study, but b_ - the year 1868-69 its imp ortance had been realized and the time of stud was extended to two-thirds of a year. The growing importance of all the sciences led, in the year 1887-88, to a division of the Department of Natur- al Sciences and a Department of Geology and Zoology was formed. Finally in the year 1902 work in geology was recognized as a separate department and a full year of work was offered. This storv of the .growth of the department from the time when the course offered extended o ■er but a part of the year and counted its enrollment large if it reached a score, to the present, with a selected list of courses offering oppor- tunity for three years or more of work and enrolling more than half a hundred students in a single course, is but the story of the development of the Earlham of today from the Boarding School of yesterday. First and foremost the na me of Joseph IMoore stands out as the one to whom the college is indebted. For it is due to his unceasing efforts in laying the foundation, and to those of his very able student and successor. Dr. .Allen D. Hole, tliat Earlham has a department of geology of which it may well be proud. For several years after geology became a separate de- partment, extensive field work was carried on in certain parts of the Rocky Moun- tain Range in connection with the L ' mted States Geological Survey. Unfortunately during recent years little opportunity for extensive field work in ' icinities remote from thecollege has presented itself. However the surrounding territory has offered more than ordinary advantages for advanced study. It has been due to a great extent to these excellent opportunities, which are rather exceptional for a small college, that Earlham has l een able to contribute her full share of experts in this branch of science. The general cultural value of geology has always been held in mind as the principal reason for its inclusion m the curriculum at Earlham. Next to this, it has always been the aim of the department to give as full an understanding of the civilization of which we are a part as our present scientific knowledge will allow.

BY the vear 1902 the nuniher registering for chem- istry and physics had increased to such an extent that Parry Hall was no longer large enough to accom- modate both departments. In order to overcome these crowded conditions the Physics Department was moved t(5 its present quarters in the south end of Lindley Hall. The lecture room and two small laboratories, one used for the study of optics and the other for the more deli- cate experiments in electricity and magnetism, are lo- cated on the first floor, lielow these are two well lighted rooms used for general laboratory work. Al- though the equipment in these laboratories is being made to serve its purpose, it is not adequate to obtain the best results in the department. As is true of all the sciences, the foundation of the Physics Department was laid liy Professor Joseph Moore when he was the head of the De- partment of Natural Sciences. In those days when one professor ' s time was divided between so many subjects, it was necessary that the time devoted to the study of physics be short. The next man of note to head the department after Professor Moore was Dr. David Worth Dennis who was Professor of Chemistry and Acting Professor of Physics from 1894 to 1897. The third man who assisted in Innlding up the department was William D. Collins who was in charge of the work until 1007. With the arrival of Professor Edwin Morrison ■ihe following year the division of the Chemistry and Physics Department was completed and the work m phvsics became a separate department. When Professor Morrison was m charge the department was developed to its present status. During the current year the department has lieen under the direction of Professor Schuler P. Hall. The aim of the department is to give to the student clear and distinct con- ceptions of the various ideas and phenomena of mechanics, light, heat, sound and electricity, and to aid him m thinking, through the relations between them. To carry out this aim in such a manner that the treatment of the subject shall have all the exactness and precision that it demands, the experiments, which the student performs in the laboratory, are made the basis of the instruction in the lecture room. I ' l-i ' H H Page fifty Slt i partm ut nf Art CARUIL 1 K ( Il RLES Iiasti-ui t(ir in Vl t Tlist(ii TT RUE art is like good company ; it constrains us in ■ ' - the most charming way to recognize that standard toward which ciur innermost being is shaped by culture. The philosophy of this statement of ( ioethe has been appreciated by Earlham College ever since boarding- school davs, for in 186(3 Mary E. M. Pinkham was teacher of French and Drawing. J. Elwood Eundy, who is so noted for his Beeches. was one of the foremost teachers of art during the latter days of the nineteenth centurv. As the college curriculum of the twentieth century tended to emphasize the cultural subjects, the art courses became courses in appreciation of art rather than m execution of pieces of painting and drawmg. Sir Joshua Reynolds expressed the sentiment of the college when he said: Whoever has so far formed his taste as to be able to relish and feel the beauties of the great masters, has gone a great way in his studies. A course which gives the student an opportunity to become acquainted with the general outlines of art history was established by a friend of the college in the fall of 1919. So far three courses have been given; Italian Painting of the Renaissance — an outline of the history of painting in Italy, from Cavallini to Michelangelo, with special attention to the Florentine School ; Mediaeval and Renaissance Sculpture and Architecture — a general treatment with emphasis on Gothic architecture in France and renaissance sculpture of the Tuscan School ; and The Great Masters of Seventeenth Century Painting (the Flemish painters. Rembrandt, Hals and Velasquez, are the artists chosen for study in this course). The courses are illustrated by the aid of a lantern and slides which make it of real value to the upper classmen. During the last semester the class in masters of seventeenth centurv jiainting competed in the Community Picture Contest held in Richmond and made a successful record. A room on the upper floor of the library has been set apart as an art gallery in which various collections are exhibited. The past year Floward Leigh has given to the college a series of lithographs which he collected while abroad.

Director of School of Music. ®I}r i partttmtt nf MtxBit nnh iramattr Art A no place in the life of the students of boarding-school days, and no regular music courses were offered at Earlham under an instructor, although as early as 1867 men and women in their separate departments were permitted to sing in devo- tional services. Earlham, realizing that there was a great demand to make music a higher branch of education, has developed the department of music within the last few years. In 1910. during Miss Gaston ' s leadership, the department began to resemble its present status, but not until the fall of 1910 when Samuel B. Garton became a member of the faculty did it assume its present form. The year 1921-22 marks the first year in which students could major in music as in other sul)jects. For those students who wish to specialize in music without pursuing regular college courses the college offers a diploma and certificate in pulilic school music if the re- quirements are met. In the last few years a different attitude has been taken toward musical education. Education along musical lines is no longer considered a luxury but is now thought essential to profitable enjoyment of life. At the college the students give informal recitals, and annually the music and dramatic art instructors give a recital. In 1919-20 there was established the artists ' music course which offers yearly several recitals of artists of superior aliility to the students at a very reasonable cost. To allow group expression for the music students there has been formed the Glee Club for the men and Madrigal Club for the women. These two organizations not only give programs at Earlham liut make concert tours over week-ends and during spring vacation. Earlham, being lo- cated at the edge of Richmond, has many music advantages in the form of concerts which pre- sent the best of the city ' s talent as well as such people ns Rach- maninoff, Galli Curci and Gluck. For the first time in the his- tory of the college free scholar- ships in music were opened in the fall of 1921. Russell Thorn- burg won the vocal scholarship and Edna Copeland the instru- mental scholarship. Much in- terest was shown, a large num- ber of people entering into the coinpetitive tryouts. The aim of this department is to give students technical skill, to cultivate their taste for the really liest music and dramatic literature in order finallv to enable them to interpret and render the master works in literature and music.

N The Voice of the Student, pubHshed in 1866 we find mention of Juvenile Cricket and Earlham Ball Clubs, and Croquet is spoken of as the favorite athletic diversion of the girls. Complaint, however, is made that no persuasion can induce female students to take bodily exercise sufficient to counteract the weari- ness consequent upon continued and hard study. If the editors of this early publication were to step back onto the campus today, they would find a very different problem ; that of providing facilities sufficient to meet the demand of the students for physical education in every form. From late September through winter and spring two athletic directors endeavor to fulfill the aims and purposes of the Physical Education Depart- ment : namely, to inspire the students of Earlham Col- lege with a desire for, and the habit of right-living ; to provide recreation in the form of wholesome sports; and to build up for each one an unconquerable physi- cal vigor. The requirement for graduation is two years ' work, but the Department boasts of having more than eighty per cent of the students electing its courses. Out- door work is particularly emphasized, and every sport, from football, basketball, and track to baseball, archery, tennis and golf, may be found to have its enthusiastic followers on the well-equipped athletic fields, tennis courts,. and golf course. Physical education at Earl- ham is for the entire student body, and the number is small that does not at some time or other feel the thrill of competitive work. A very gratifying outgrowth of the work of this department is the large number of graduates who are successfully directing athletics and physical education work. The demand for a modern gymnasium and swim- ming pool grows with the increasing enrollment. It would be of particular value as a means for increasing the mental and i)hysical abilities of those students who are physically handicapped. In this day when educa- tors devote so much thought to the profitable use of leisure time such a gymna slum as proposed would solve many of Earlham ' s recreational i)roblems. CLARA COMSTOCK, A. B.

THE library is the oldest academic department ot ihe college having been established in 1847, the year the Boarding School was opened. During it-- earlier years its growth depended largely upon dona- tions or contributions from interested individuals, its value being greatly increased by the gifts of English Friends. A distinct step in its advancement was made in 1871 when the Ionian and Phoenix Literary Sn- cieties raised a joint endowment fund for the purchase of books. This was the first fixed source of revenue the library had. As the demands increased the Board of Trustees, from time to time, made special appropri- ations for the library and in 1898 began making a small but regular annual appropriation from the general funds of the college. This gradually grew until the special Library Endowment Fund was raised in 1907 providing a fixed income of about $1,800 a year. On December 3. 1907. the present library building was dedicated. This separate building for a library was made possible at that time by a gift from Mr. Carnegie of $30,000 on condition that the college set aside an ecjual amount for upkeep. At that time the library had an available collection of about ten thousand volumes and the space for shelving seemed adequate for years to come. Several years ago, room was at a premium and last year the situation became Cjuite impossible. Earlv in August the decision to put in a new floor of stacks was reached but the final placing of the order w-as so delayed that it was impossible to have it installed before the opening of school. However during the Christmas vacation the work was done and the second week-end after school began the books were moved. The glass floor between the stack aft ' ords good lighting and ' the space above wdiich adds both light and air will some day contain another floor of stacks which will permit another ten thousand volumes to be added. With the collection of books almost two and a half times larger than wdien the building was dedicated, certain changes in arrangement seemed feasible. The strictly reference material such as bound magazines and encyclopedias are now in the alcoves and the books which can be taken out of the library for two weeks are in the stacks. One exception to this is that all Friends ' material is kept together in the stacks. Professor Harlow Lindley who has been librarian since 1898 has had the pleasure of seeing the library grow from a small collection housed in a large room over the President ' s office in Lindley Hall to its present size and location.

If he Ije curious enough to step through the doorway, he will discover that this museum is far better than any other college museum in the Middle West. Here he may see some forty-five thousand specimens ranging from postage stamps to one of the largest mounted mastodon skeletons in the United States. The mastodon is no doubt the most striking exhibit in the museum. It was found in Randolph County not many miles from Richmond, in 1893, and was mounted by Professor Moore in 1895. Occupy- ing a less pretentious position along the north wall stands the only mounted speci- men of the giant fossil beaver, Cartoroidcr oh ' wcnscr, in existence. The bones of this skeleton were also found in Randolph County and were mounted b ' Professor Moore. It is not, however, in these two most valuable specimens alone, that the handiwork of Dr. Joseph Moore is seen. It was he who first began the accumu- lation of material which grew from a small cabinet of fossils in Earlham Hall in 1853 to the museum of today. Throughout his lifetime Professor Moore ' s greatest delight was in the growth of the museum and he made numerous trips to distant parts to obtain additional material. In recognition of his services and devotion, the museum has been officially designated the Joseph Moore Museum. Shortly after the death of Dr. Moore, Dr. Allen D. Hole was appointed Curator. Under his efficient direction the museum has doubled in size and its value greatly en- hanced by a new system of cataloging, which when completed will make a speci- men as easv to find as a book in the library.

EARLHA] I enjovs the distinction of having for members of its Board of Trustees men and women whose force of character and constant watchful- ness has given to the institution an enviable reputation throughout the [Middle West. This Board, composed of sixteen members selected by the Yearly Meetings and the Alumni Association, is responsible for the excellent administrative policies of the college. The co-educational standards have been constantly main- tained by their zealous care and determined endeavor to offer equal social and scholastical opportunities to both men and women. Through their efforts it has been possible for Earlham to impart the advantages of higher education in an atmosphere that is both democratic and according to the high Christian stand- ards of the Society of Friends. During the current year at the suggestion of the Board of Trustee ;, a joint student-faculty-trustee committee was appointed_ to define the spheres of authority of the faculty and the student body. After receiving the report of this committee, the Board at its quarterly meeting held February 11, 1922, went upon record as sanctioning the principle of student government. Although the students at Earlham have enjoyed self-government for a number of years, this was the iirst time that it had ever received formal recognition. Appreciation should be extended to these members of the college constituency for the selection of our strong pedagogical corps.

Treasurer Leslie Shaeffer, Treasurer OX the two hundred and sixty-second day of 1921 a group of extra- ordinary people passed through Richmond on their way to this college. So unusual were they that Richmond paused in her tasks and noticed them. Business men left their work to admire the youthful strangers. Housewives let cakes burn while they gossiped over the back fence about the fine new neighbors out at Earlham. Not only Richmond but Earlham as well, swelled with pride. Well might the trustees and members of the institution rejoice, for now their hopes of an ideal freshman class were being realized. Xor were they mistaken. True to expectations we have shown ability, modesty and sincerity in all our action. We began at the very kick-off ' by breaking a record. For when we had chosen our courses and had signed the necessary papers, we did not chase around to Webster, as the usual Frosh does, to ask what matriculate means. We absorbed Earlham customs and methods with astonishing rapidity and almost immediately began the process of humili- ating our immediate predecessors by thwarting their plans concerning our first class meeting. How serenely we emerged from that conflict ! Freshman Day came quickly. Again we gave a display of ability, both in chapel and in feudal strife. Again we were modest, even going so far as to give the Sophs the privilege of tasting city water. There iS much to tell, but remembering that this book is not pri- marily for us we will merely mention winning the Ionian Cross-country race, with the accompanying honor of having our numerals first en- graved upon the loving cup. Then there was that remarkable girls ' hockey team which finished the season so surprisingly, the Freshman who made good m football, those on the basketball squad, the orators, and honor students. But here we will stop telling of our ability and show our humility. Let our elders take all honor, and we will wait patiently for our time. Watch us grow! — A Frcsluiioii.

In the two years that we have been here we have been moulded from a group of care-free, irresponsible, green-minded youngsters into an organized unit, taking our place in college life. Our freshman days were filled with glorious anticipation. How our hearts swelled with the self-contained knowledge of our importance as we almost reverently piled the boxes and barrels for the bonfires on the heart. How our hearts sank when the biggest bonfire of the year went up in smoke during the picture show after the Rose Poly game. Even as freshmen we contributed much to the knowledge of .the college community. Because of our scholarly attain- ments, the length of Main street bridge is known to the fraction of an inch; the exact number of telephone poles between Earlham and Centerville ascertained beyond anv doubt, and the number of tile on the waiting station roof recorded to ' the satisfaction of the present juniors,— not to mention the personal help we have gained from deciphering moss-covered tombstones by the noonlight. We have members in every student organization in college; however, m dramatics, journalism, athletics and song we have reached our highest attainment. We can boast of both the editor-m-chief of Yc Anglican, and the president of Mask and Mantle. .A large per cent of both Madrigal and Glee Club come from among us and the musical talent or our class is regularly represented in recitals and public affairs. An end, a guard, and a half-back on this year ' s football team; center on the basketball team; as well as two letter men on the track team were members of the class of 1924. In women ' s athletics we are not to be overlooked. On field day we always claim our share of the firsts. The Earlham record m the baseball throw is held by a member of the class of 1924, and we have also furnished four players to the varsity hockey team. We have had names of members of our class on every honor roll since we came to Earlham; and although producing nothing spectacular, we are doing our best in all other activities of college life. But that is not all of our accomplishments. Just stop in Earlham Hall office any time when trade is the best, and count the number of ' 24 customers on the waiting list. We are in the process of securing a college education, and while we are enjoying the process, we are endeavoring to contribute of our best to our Alma Plater, who has m the past two years given so freely.

President Agnes Sellaes, Vice-President Phoebe McMillan, Secretary Chas. Blackburn, Treasurer Second Semester Alfred Carter. President Hazel Lockwood, I ' ice-Prcsident Dorothy Carter. Secretary Raymond Grissom, Treasurer THE class of 1923 entered Earlham. the first live freshman class in the drive for normalcy. lere freshmen though they were, they soon demonstrated their quality by holding their first meeting in the chapel, and electing all their officers, despite the frenzied remonstrances of certain onlookers — a feat not since dupli- cated. That thev were valorous was made plain to the damp-bodied sophomores after a twelve-minute tussle, in the first annual rope-stretching contest. Thus they lived and enjoyed life, even unto the uttermost, as freshmen. With the suddenly-achieved dignity of sophomorehood, they deported them- eslves with surprising serenity and judicious deliberation for a class so distin- guished by its superabundant spirit of enterprise. They occasionally unbent, once long enough to establish, beyond any possibility of incredulity, to the new freshmen, the efficiency of the AA ' est Richmond fire department. They ended the year with a grand splurge, as hosts to the seniors at the AVestcott. Realizing that life, after all, is just living, and not the serious afl: air they had previouslv considered it, they entered their most happy year in Earlham, as juniors. The grim drive for grades by midnight lamps has been interspersed by occasional parties, when they let their long-pent-up exuberance overflow. As the school year waned, they helped the freshmen anticipate the joys of dis- carding green caps at the annual Freshman-Junior Frolic. In their three years at Earlham, they have taken a liberal interest m the various school activities. The president, and three of the six EE men in school, nearlv half the ' 21 track team, forty per cent of the ' 21 football letter men, and three of the basketball regulars are members of the Class of 1923. Three captains and one retiring captain of athletic teams are juniors. Five Earlham track records, the Ionian cross-country, and two I. C. A. L. records are held by ' 23 men. The Earlham representative to the state oratorical con- test, this year, is a junior. In co-ed activities, the Class of 1923 holds the Women ' s Athletic Trophy, and six of the fourteen wearers of the E are juniors. — A Junior.

At one time women were not even admitted into its reahns of Hterary pursnits, but the reading gentlemen soon discovered that in order to make a success of the project, the co-eds were an essential factor. And as the legend runs, the club once wrapped its robes about itself and became a majestically exclusive organization. Such aristocracy could not long endure, and so for the last two years, Anglican membership is open to all those who are interested in English and art of any kind. Anglican ' meets in a most informal manner; however, there is yet lacking a comfortable room with a low oak-beamed ceiling; large comfortable chairs and davenports, and at one side of the room a large, wonderful fire-place. It meets now by imagination in such a room, lighted only by burning logs and shadowy lamps. In addition to the regular meetings this year, the club has rolled up its sleeves and plunged into some real work. Each semester there has been published an issue of Earlham ' s new literary magazine — Yc Anglican. No longer need literary genius and skill smoulder at Earlham, for through the columns of Ye Anglican ' it can burn with brilliance until it shall sign its naine with achievement.

It is the first organization with which new men come in contact, as it reaches out to them before they arrive the hand of fellowship in the form of letters and handbooks. In addition to this it puts on during the first week of school a stag social, which is in the nature of a get-acquainted. The activities of the Y. M. C. A. are supervised by a cabinet of fifteen men, which consists of the officers and the chairmen of the various phases of work, which come under its jurisdiction. College men are aided in securing places to work in the college community and in town. Gospel teams are sent to visit neighboring churches. Throughout the year the regular Thursday morn- ing meetings are held in the Bundy Association Room. These meetings are led by students or faculty men, and occasionally by speakers from outside the college community. Near the beginning of the second semester a series of special meetings is held. The purpose of these meetings is to bring the men of Earlham College into a fuller realizaton of their responsibility to themselves and their fellow-men, and to learn the true meaning of living a practical Christian life. The meetings this year were led by Willard O. Trueblood, the pastor of the First Friends Church at Indianapolis, and were a direct appeal to the men of the college to live a consistent Christian life. jgX ' XXXXX ' ' XXXXX IIE.,. l Page eighty-foi r I. m.

Thomas, who had just returned from a tour of Spain, and a period spent at Madrid in intensive study of the Spanish language, customs and ideals succeeded through her influence among the students of the Spanish Department in organizing a departmental club, known as the Spanish Club. Much interest was manifested in the new project, and through the functioning of this organization, enrollment in the Spanish Department increased rapidly. The Spanish-speaking countries of South America have recent- ly taken enormous strides in the commercial world, and students who anticipate entering the business world, the teaching profession, or being engaged in any form of service abroad realize the advantage to be gained through a knowledge of the Spanish language. This year the interest in the club has been equally as intense as it was at the time of its founding. Regular meetings are held each month, the purposes of which are to entertain and to instruct. Members of the club are encouraged to increase their capacity for conversing intelligently in Spanish, thus affording a practical training. Through these meetings a better acquaintance is made with the customs and the ideals of the Spanish people in general, and an interest in the work of the department is stimulated in a manner that can not be accomp- lished in any other manner.

TT was back about 1907. according to the oldest inhabitants of the college, that 1 the French Club was first organized, largely through the efforts of Miss Elizabeth Conrad, now Dean of Women at Ohio State University, but at that time an instructor in the French Department. The stimulus given the department then has never since failed to cause a club to be organized each year, i hroughout its history the club has offered the community various samples of its talent, but certamlv ' its crowning achievement came on April 23. 1920, when re-enforced bv a native Frenchman and a number of the American variety that had been overseas, it gave an elalDorate presentation of Moliere ' s Le Bourgeois bentil- homme. This season the club has occupied itself with interesting meetings replete with recitations, stories, playlets and games. Neither the Christmas party nor Miss Doan ' s lecture on Paris will be forgotten soon. On the whole the year has been one of pleasant memories. The success of the season has been due to the splendid collaboration of the student and faculty members of the French De- partment, and more particularly to the activity of Miss Pick who has given of her time and effort, and who on various occasions has acted as lite preserver just as the president or some other unfortunate member was going down for the third time m the sea of French phonetics and irregular verbs.

For the newly-elected freshman, the meetings which are held each Thursday evening are an incoherent jumble of sarcasms and witticisms interrupted by raps of the gavel on the table by the irrate president. It wasi in the year of 1864, that with a charter membership of twenty-one, Phoenix Band was first organized. Each session was then opened by scripture reading a nd the singing of hymns : however, the order of business was soon changed and the meetings were then opened by the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting and the calling of the roll and absentees. After it had lived long enough to prove its worth, the acts with which it had been governed were repealed, and Phoenix Band was incorporated as a society with an adequate constitution and by-laws. Twice each semester the society holds open night, allowing outsiders an opportunity for a glimpse of Phoenix at work. On such occasions the program is arranged by each of the four classes in turn. Throughout its history. Phoenix Band has continued to grow steadily, and according to the testimony of Phoenixians who have left Earlham it provides a training in parliamentary drill and the planning of programs that is of per- manent value.

Secretary IONIAN was the first society organized on the Earlham campus. It was on November 7. 1857. that a small group of men assembled in one of the rooms of Earlham Hall for the purpose of forming a society whose interests would be of literarv nature. The new project began to grow, and its purpose and ami became broader and more mclusive. Professor W. B. lorgan suggested tor this oro-anization the name. Ionian, and in 1873 it became an mcorporated body with a constitution adequate for its needs at that time. The same year it was decided that there should be published The Earlhaniitc, which was to be the collet e magazine, and as Ionian was a literary society the responsibility of its publication naturally fell to this organization. Thus the society has grown in the Earlham soil and atmosphere, until it is now one of the most active organi- zations of which the college can boast. _ Ionian has as its object, the intellectual improvement ot its members, its aim is to give a practical ' training in participating in and conducting public meet- ino-s ■ to -ive mental poise and the ability to think fast and speak concisely and to afford training in public speaking. Since its organization, it has had on its roll many persons who later have achieved success in their chosen profession, ana have become know-n throughout the country.

In spite of its youth among the college or- ganizations, the club has grown rapidly and now fills a place in the student life at Earlham which had heretofore been neglected. Those who have attended the meetings of this club feel that it is contributing a great deal to arouse interest in a phase of education that is taking a prominent position in the college life of Earlham. Any student who is taking at least a minor in the Department of Political Science and Econoinics is eligible for membership. Its aim is to make a study of the present day economic and business problems by inviting active business men to speak to the club on practical business topics of the day. Open meetings are held at wdiich various problems that exist in the business world today are discussed. The speakers this year have all been from the city of Richmond, and among them have been Mr. Lloyd Harter, of the Crown Fuel Saver Company, who spoke on the subject of salesmanship; Mr. H. R. Robinson, of the Swayne- Robinson Company, who took as his subject, The Open versus the Closed Shop ; and Ex-prosecuting Attorney P ' rank Strayer, who discussed problems confronting modern law courts.

It was organized in the spring of 1894 by Doctor Dennis and Professor Sackett for the purpose of reviewing prominent scientific works and men. Within three years it became inactive, but m l JJ- 1900 It blossomed forth again for its last attempt at life among the organizations of Earlham College. . , ,,. . , ..r . Finally during the vear 1903-04, Professor W. D. Collins organized ihe Science Club of Earlham College with an effective constitution and all the prerequisites of a permanent body. Since that time the Science Club has been a vital force at Earlham. becoming more and more valuable each year. Ihe orio-inal constitution has been revised and simplified twice, once m 1907 and again 19f8. At present, those who expect to take a major or two minors m work m the Science Department are eligible for membership. The object of the club is to stimulate interest and knowledge m scientific nihjects by means of semi-monthly meetings, in which students, faculty and out- side speakers take part. In this manner many varied and instructive programs are given. The Science Club frequently contributes to the entire college com- rnunitv bv holding open meetings at which some especially interesting subject is tiresented ' It also furnishes the library with a number of scientific books and magazines. Judging from present interest and past achievement, the Science Club has taken its place among the permanent organizations on the college campus.

Director THE Mask and Mantle is Earlham ' s first active dramatic organizatiim. In spite of only two years of activity, during which time but three appearances have been made, this organization has found its place and won unanimous favor in Earlham life. The club was formed last year by Professor E. P. Trueblood and a group of students who felt that organized dramatics should be given a more important place at Earlham, and its success and the inspiration under which it has so rapidly progressed has been due largely to the efforts of Professor Trueblood. Together with the producing of worthwhile plays, the purpose of the club is to study the best productions, dramatists, characterization, and to keep in touch with all movements of the theater. The success of the club productions is to be chiefly attributed to the director, Mrs. H. R. Robinson. On January 14 the only appearance of the vear was made in a program of three one-act plays. This program was comprised of Beauty and the Jacobin, by Booth Tarkington : ' The End of Day, by Her- bert Carey, ' 21 and Sir David Wears a Crown, by Stuart Walker. Besides the productions of the club, its members take an active part in the dramatic phase of other programs given at the college. In this manner a distinct contribution is made both directly and indirectly to Earlham life. H H K K. B -V X ' J- J . :xxxxx ' x ' xxx ' x Page ninety-two Brmnsthntraus OFFICERS Robert Swaix.

Money was borrowed by this group of men the ne.xt winter, and with complete faith in the new project, on January 28, 1911, there was left at Earlham ' s door step a bundle containing the first issue of The Earlham Press. Thus the Earlham Press Club made its debut into the Earlham World. To the freshman the Press Club is a mystery, an ideal, a thing to be made some day. The faculty sees in it the joyful opportunity for pouring gossip into the receptive ear of a reporter : pain and bewilderment at the unrecognizable story in print ; an ever-to-be reckoned-with force in the college community ; a struggle over dates, and the excess number of points which chng about certain young men. To the Earlhamite who has gone out into the world it means news not only from the old school but from fellow Earlhamites the round world over. To the members of the club it means more than news stories, more than going to the printers to wrap papers, more than banquets. It means that thing as indefinable as the Earlham sijirit itself, which occurs behind closed doors when a man grasps the hand of a fellow and looks into the eyes of a man. In the Earlham Press Club is a group of men welded together by the purpose of publishing the truth about the Earlham family and ujiholding her highest ideals.

President THE Earlham College International Polity Club, which has taken its place among the other organizations at the college during the past decade, attempts to create as well as to keep alive in the student body an interest m social and po- litical problems of both national and international scope. It is m the strictest sense a cosmopolitan group being composed of members ot all classes and ot the faculty o organization on the campus is more democratic m its nature, as the Polity Club has neither a roll, nor a constitution and by-laws: and its semi- monthlv meetings are made informal so far as possible. The Earlham Polity Club stands out as one of the pioneer organizations ot its kind in the country. ' as it is the oldest in the state of Indiana, and was only preceded bv similar clubs at Harvard and Princeton. Today this organization is becoming an active and vital institution in practically every college and uni- versity of ' the country. Numerous speakers for the various clubs are provided by a ' central organization at New York, which was tormerly known as the International Polity Club, but since the World War has been better known as The International Relations Club. The club was extremely fortunate during the year 1 22 in being addressed by several speakers of national and internationa reputation. Each speaker brought to the club m an interesting and unbiased manner some valuable information concerning solutions to problems which con- front the world today. Such subjects as the - ' Disarmament Program, Race and Human Relations, and Industrial Democracy. have been presented to the club bv these men.

What kind of jokes and witti- cisms were necessary to bring forth a guffaw from Marcus Porcius Cato or PubHus CorneHus Scipio AemiHanus? In 1902, Professor C. K. Chase, who became instructor in the Latin Department that year, succeeded in organizing what was then known as the Latin Club. As the scope of interest of the members became more extensive, so did the limits of the club prove too narrow, and it quietly gave way to a new progeny, — the Classical Club. Thus twice each month a group of those who wish to know more about the civilization and literature of Greece and Rome meet and discuss relative questions. Often less formal programs take the place of the more involved discussions, and songs and music become the main feature of the evening. The private life of the Romans is the topic about which the programs have centered this year, and the club has been very fortunate to have as its president one who has had practical experience in life among the people of Rome.

Its members can be seen on the camous during the day, and usually elsewhere at night. It is one nf the largest organizations in school, having continued to grow since its founding in the earlv history of the college. Day students can always be depended upon to participate in all phases of college activities. It was the Day Student Organization which, in an effort to do something for its Alma .Mater, in 1906 published the first Sargasso. This organization not only turnisnes members as participants in all phases of athletics and debating teams as well as musical and literary organizations, but there are among its numbers, dra- matic stars of great ability. This fact vas manifested this year m the pre- sentation of the play, Teg O My Heart. Dav Student socials are usuallv more than fashionable tea-parties. They have a ' tendency to approach the form of feeds. This year affairs ot this nature have consisted of a camp supper in the gymnasium, and a banquet at the K. of P. Temple. Page ninety-seven !

With the aid of Miss Florence Hanson, who was then the Lady Prin- cipal of the Dormitory, the girls formed their constitution and by-laws. At fir.st the student council had complete charge of the dormitory, but in 1910 the Proctor System, which provides for an assistant on each hall, was installed. The Constitution and By-Laws have undergone two revisions, the first one oc- curring in 1916, and the last in 1920-21. With the latter revision, the historic Blue Book was replaced by a much less voluminous brown book, which con- tains only the essentials relative to the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of the women both on and off the campus. In accordance with the principle that, if people will employ liberty as a means of substituting self-control for external control, they may continue to have it, there has been established this year the Proctorless System, which makes every girl responsible for quiet h ours. Its success indicates that another ad -ance has been made in the evolution of student government. The dominating purpose of the Student Government As.sociation is to en- courage a co-operative spirit among the girls, and to develop an ability to see things from the other person ' s standpoint. With the successes already at- tained in achieving this fundamental objective, the Student Government As- sociation functions to a degree that makes it invaluable in student life.

It is as a committee, most democratic and representative, as it is composed of three members of the Earlham Hal! Stu- dent Council, and three who represent the council in Bundy Hall. Its duties are to define freedom to the e.xtent of administering punishment to those mem- bers of the college community who insist upon practising a definition of their own. Its officers are a president and a secretary, the former being also presi- dent of the council in Bundy Hall. His duties are to call and preside at the meetings of the committee. The secretary ' s duties consist in keeping the min- utes of the meetings — in a secret place — and in notifying the seekers after free- dom of the decision of the Super Six. The theoretical existence of the Inter-Dormitory Committee this year has been unhampered by stormy meetings where, after hours of debate, men and women have formerly been weighed in the balances and found guilty.

Informal meetings are held every sec- ond Wednesdav evening, at which round table discussion groups are conducted and subjects which are of interest to the promotion of the welfare of the church are discussed. The roup has been exceptionally fortunate this year in having Charles Woodman! Clarence Pickett, Albert G.

Paul Furnas spoke on the ■ITistory and Activities of the American Friends ' Service Committee. During the last month of the first semester, meetings were held each Wednesday evening, and a study of the organization and workings of the Five ears Meetmg was made Other practical lines of study have been followed during the year.

Director MADRIGAL owes its initial existence to the efforts of Miss Gaston, who in the fall of 1910 first organized Earlham ' s glee club of women. Dur- ing the first year several appearances were made in chapel, and with the aid of some Richmond talent the cantata, A Midsummer Night, was given. Thus the club began to prove its claim upon the name Aladrigal, which represents music in one of its most elevated forms. In 1912 Madrigal presented the Chinese operetta, The Feast of the Little Lantern, which was repeated in 1916. Each year the club has made its con- tribution to the betterment of the music department at Earlham. Interest in Madrigal this year has been more marked than ever before in its history. Under the direction of Miss Nicholson, talent has been developed until the club has not been contented to give only the home concert on January 13 and to enter- tain audiences in nearby towns, but on March 17 an extended ' trip was made to Kokomo. Each year its efforts are spent at representing the brighter side of life through the medium of music and the influence of the college is given a broader field of activity. Hi K K ST X ' XXXX!

Robert Hinshaw, President Alfred Carter, Secretary THE Double E Club is the only honorary athletic organization at Earlha ni College. It was organized, as it exists to-day, in 1919 by a group of men who believed that they could promote the athletic interests of the college more efficiently as an organized body than they could individually. In order to maintain the standards for which the club was to stand, qualifications for mem- bership were made high. Only those who have won an E in two branches of Earlham athletics, one of which must represent work done in either football or basketball are eligible for membership. In this way the number of mem- bers is kept relatively small, and limited to only those who consistently work and aspire to place Earlham ' s athletics on a higher plane. Becoming a Double E man means more than representing Earlham in in- tercollegiate athletic contests, ' ' hen one has fulfilled the qualifications, for membership, he is then subjected to three initiations, at the conclusion of which he is always welcomed into the club by a party with an abundant supply of good eats. The membership is the smallest this year that it has been since the club was organized, yet despite its small numbers its influence as a club has been felt in promoting and elevating athletics at Earlham. K (Mi N IK Page one hundred four g tubntt Affairs Inarb • OFFICERS Charles Blackburn. President Rebecca Borden, Secrcfary THE Student Affairs Association is an organization composed of all stu- dents of the college, and is governed Idv a committee of representatives of the faculty, the athletic directors, the president of the association, and stu- dent representatives from each of the four classes. This committee is known as the Student Affairs Board. The duties of the board are varied, as it has jurisduction over all matters that arise in connection with the affairs of the association. There are bills to to be signed, accounts to be audited, and matters regarding the promotion of athletic activities at Earlham and the general welfare of the association to be discussed The Student Affairs Board supports the debating teams, and main- tains the oratorical contests, as well as makes possible the athletic department of the college through the conducting of its busmess affairs. In brief the board is the business manager of the affairs of the student body; however it is limited m its power bv the necessary majority vote ot the association before any measure becomes fully passed. Either the board or the association may initiate anv matter of business, which must then take the usual course of pro- cedure. The Student Affairs Board is a cog m the machine, without which the activities of the student body could not proceed. Page one hundred five iLl}t lEarlliam Wxhh g rlinnl A FEW years ago there was conceived the idea that Earlham stu- dents were in need of a Bible School of their own, where it would be possible to study special problems which arise in connec- tion with the life of a college student. At first study classes were . . held each Sunday morning in the various rooms of both dormitories, but this plan did not prove adequate, and a different program was soon arranged with opening and closing exercises in the chapel before and after the meeting of the classes, which were then held in Lindley Hall. The chairman of the Bible Study Committee from each of the Christian Associations have equal responsibility in the operation of the Bible School. It is the purpose of the course of study planned in the various classes of which the Bible School is composed to interest the stu- dent in studying the principles of Jesus Christ, and how they may be applied in the present social order. It is the aim to have no feel- ing of compulsion in attendance, but rather to make the Bible School such that each student will feel it worth while to attend. It is also the purpose to seek to interest and imbue the real spirit for which } Earlham stands in as many students as possible. This aim and purpose is accomplished chiefly through the freedom of discussion in the classes, which is merely directed by the teachers. This ren- ders those who attend and participate in the discussions more capa- M ble of meeting the needs as we face them in our every day Christian life here at Earlham and as we meet the problems of service in our i. . home communities. ]) ' : 8 Page one hundred six • ■ pi-tiif } ' !j —1 . rS ' r iz;zr Attflrfra Mn Atlfkttrs Till of Lli winning of games and the maintenance ot athletic standards is the obvious task of the athletic department. The development of physicjue and character is of still greater mo- ment in the promotion of competitive sports and physical training. Clean living and a strong body, alert and responsive to the de- mands made of it, are in themselves a justifi- cation of athletics. With this body there are developed sure, determined and controlled courage and a sense of fair play which come from keen competition and clean fighting. Each year the coaches face the same problem of training men who never tackled a dummy or wore a spiked shoe in their lives, for most of the men who make up Earlham ' s ath- letic teams come to college with very little ex- perience. This makes the production of win- ning teams an immeasurably greater task but the benefits gained by the men are equally greater. In appreciation of these benefits to the student body the athletic policy of Earlham does not judge the success or failure of a team on a basis of games won or lost. HIGGINS Page one hundred seven n i3 t mii FOOTBALL was first played in 1888 at Earlham. It was introduced as an inter-class sport by Prof. A. T. Murray, who came to Earlham from Haverford College. No inter-collegiate games were played the first year but in 1889 Miami was met at Miami. The trip was made in horse-drawn hacks and the uniforms consisted of makeshift combinations of old clothes. That there were no eligibility rules is shown by the fact that two professors, Pro- fessor Murray and Professor E. P. Trueblood played on the team. Since 1889 there has been an Earlham team in inter-collegiate football circles every year except 1918. Handicapped by lack of e.xperienced men the team did not come through with a majority of games won this year. They did show consistent improve- ment and in the final game in which they defeated Franklin 7-0 they gave an excellent display of football tactics. Captain Hinshaw, playing his third year, was handicapped by injuries part of the season but his work at quarter and half was valuable and consist- ent when he was in condition to play. Al Carter, captain-elect, also played at C|uarter and half. His generalship in handling the team was good and he is a ground gainer in the open field. Bookout, Beasley, Ivey and Pennington played their last game for Earl- ham this season. Bookout completed his fourth year on the team with an ex- cellent record both as a defensive and offensive man. For the past two years h Page one hundred eight BOOKOUT STANLEY EADES H. PEEVO he has fibred m all state selections. Beasley, because of his strength and ac- curate passing, will be a hard man to replace. Ivey handled the puntmg and forward passing and is a capable interference runner. Pennington alternated at uard and tackle and could be counted on for hard work. Emshe won his second letter by creditable backheld performance m open field and off tackle running and hard tackling on de ense. Wmslow and Mc nth-e freshman backfield men, advanced the ball well and showed much improvement by a season s training. Morns, playing for the hrst time with Earl- am held down a regular job as end in a satisfactory way the entire sea, , Stanlev Prevo and Aubrey Stanley made up Earlham s best tackle com- bination, feoth are hard fighters and ready workers. Eades, Delph and Harry Prevo played consistently at guard positions and Bowles at guard_ and end.

Hanover was much stronger than m previous years and got the jump on the Quakers by pushing a series of hne plays over for a touchdown in the first quarter. In the third quarter a forward pass and a series of line plunges by Earlham tied the score. In the last four minutes of play Earlham completed three running plays and five forward passes. The last forward pass resulted in a thirty yard run for a touchdown just as the final whistle blew. llilmingtntt Quaker met Quaker when Wilmington invaded Richmond for the first home game With their veteran team came the largest delegation of rooters they have ever brought to Earlham.

As it was the Quakers played an exceptionally strong game against a team which had won a reputation for running up large scores. The final score was 33-7. SCalamagnn Perhaps the best team Earlhara played during the season was the Kalamazoo Normal eleven. Rain caused the game with them to be postponed until Monday and the three day layover took the edge from the Quaker squad and partially accounts for the poor show- ing made. Kalamazoo had a heavy and experienced team and Earlham could not gain ground consistently against them. Late in the game a recovered ball after the kick-off resulted in a long run for Earlham ' s only touchdown. Frequent passes and open plays were successful for the Normal men in spite of a heavy field and they scored in every quarter. The final score was 42-7. iaiitnn The Dayton game was sensational to the finish and ended a 14-14 score. Earlham scored twice in the first quarter. Both touchdowns resulted from recovery of fumbles made by the Catholic back field. In the third quarter a fifteen yard penalty on Earlham placed Dayton in a scoring distance and a touchdown was made. After an exchange of punts a series of slashing line plays carried the ball over again for Dayton tying the score 14-14. The fourth quarter was featured by sensational passing and open formations but the score remained unchanged. UJuaktngum Mud, rain, and snow put somewhat of a damper on the home coming game, ,A.rmistice day, against Muskingum. In the first quarter Earlham carried the ball to the twelve yard line and lost it on downs. Muskingum fumbled and Earlham scored after recovering the ball. In the second quarter Muskingum crashed through the center of the line for con- sistent short gains and tied the score. Again in the final quarter the Ohio team forced the ball to the five yard line. In three downs they made first down on the two foot line but the Quakers held desperately for four downs and gained the ball. On the first play Earlham failed at an attempt to punt the sodden ball and Muskingum scored a safety. This ended the scoring and the game was finished in driving snow with a 9-7 score. 3 H H H n — .F- 7- Ttr- rxxy,2:.

In 1902 and 1903 bas- ketball was just be,g inning ' to assume an important place on the athletic calendar. In 1904 a heavier schedule was completed and in 1905 the popularity of the game necessitated contests being played in the Coliseum, where they have been played since. The first game at the Coliseum was played against Purdue, Earl- ham losing by a 17-24, score. Earlham has always been a strong contender in state basketl all circles and it is recognized that Indiana produces more good basketball teams than any other state. Coach jMowe started the season this year with only one veteran, Captain Goar, and so was forced to build an entirely new machine. After the first game the new combination began to play good basketball and continued to do so off and on the entire year, but they failed to show the consistency which a more experienced team might have shown. Not only was the Earlham team made up of new men, but practically all of the str ong teams it met were com- posed of veteran players. Although Earlham did not win a large ntimljer of victories the strength of the team was shown by its excellent work in parts of games and in the defeat of the Aliami University team, Ohio Conference champions in 1921. by a 20-22 K K H- H H K K m; M K H w n.

With the loss of only one man, Beasley, for next year a combination of seasoned players will be possible and a greater consistency of playing should be obtained. Captain Goar, at floor guard, not only played well both on offense and defense, but also directed the team play m a manner that did much to get the most out of the men. In the games in which he was unable to play because of sickness the lack of his leadership was keenly felt. Hinshaw and Fladley at the forward po- sitions worked well together on the offensive. Both men are hard working players. Hadley is the captain elect for next year. Townsend pulled several games from the fire by his long shots which, more than his team work, characterized his playing. Beasley competently filled the position under- the opponent ' s basket and was so capable in getting the ball into play after opponent ' s shots that there were very few held balls in that vicinity. Four freshmen held the substitute positions, Winslow. Huff, Lane, and Kendall. Lane played enough to win his letter this year and the other men played parts of most of the games. All of them will be valuable men during their next three years. The opening game played with Concordia at Fort Wayne resulted in a 36-30 defeat for Earlham. Poor team work held the Earlham score down and fifteen fouls called on Earlham compared with two on Concordia during the last half kept the Quaker team from getting up speed. Ir auiu Marked improvement in hoth offensive and defensive play was shown in the DePauw game at Greencastle. It was a hard fought battle and the play was closer than the 33-19 score in favor of DePauw indicated. At the middle of the last half the score stood 19-13, but a burst of speed which the Quakers could not match gave the Tigers a decisive lead.

Numerous easy shots under the basket were missed or the score would have been greater. Good defensive play by both teams featured Earlham ' s 20-14 defeat by Wabash at Craw- fordsville just before vacation. Earlham failed to connect with a number of open shots or they would have given the Little Giants a harder run. Playing an airtight defensive game and displaying flashy teamwork on the offensive, Earlharn defeated the Dentals 34-16. Although the Dentals had the same comliination which enabled them to defeat Butler last year they were unable to stand up against the Quaker combination. The catastrophe of the season came when Butler ran up a 61-27 score on the Quakers. Earlham couldn ' t stop the Butler scoring machine which threw goals from every angle and made shots ordinarily impossible. Mabasli After battling Wabash to a standstill during the first twenty-five minutes of play, the Wabash team showed its superior endurance by pulling away to a 31-18 count. Earl- ham led at the end of the first half 12-11, but could not stand the fast pace. The game was one of the best of the season. UJtamt Ending in a whirlwind finish Earlham gave Miami her first defeat of the year by a 20-22 count. Earlham came from behind and after tying the score five times in the second half edged away to victory.

Franklin was given an edge by the dopesters because of her string of important victories, but the Quakers battered down the Franklin defense in the first few minutes for a lead that was never threatened.

' ■ n H r K N B R K H ®rark THE first performance of track and field events at Earlham dates back to the time when an annual field day was held in the spring. The first one of these days was celebrated in 1889. i:)icvcle races, tumbling;, gymnastics and some apparatus work went in along with the running races, jumps and weights. Not all of the present events were on the program then, but a tennis tournament and a baseball game were made part of the day ' s activities. Since the organization of the I. C. A. L., Earlham has either won the track meet or been a close contender. During the last two years the Quakers have won decisively and the work of the team this year indicates that it is again in line for first honors. Although .several experienced and valuable men were lost by graduation last year most of the men on the team have had a year or more of experience and so the team is as strong as last year. Several freshmen show promise of becoming strong point winners with more experience. Captain Ivev has scored firsts or seconds consistently in the hurdles and jumps. This year is his fourth on the team and his third year as leader of the squad. He holds the Earlham records in the high jump and the high and low hurdles. Robinson has also been on the team four years, competing in the half and quarter and running a quarter in the relay. He has been a valuable point winner and holds the Earlham record in the half mile. Beasley, the other senior on the team, throws the shot and hurls the discus. This is his second year with the weights and he is throwing them out for a large total of points every meet. p xxxX;s xxx:: S l ll M gIlilMi X XXXXXxX XX Page one hundred eighteen i t — 4 L:3 . CARTER DALTOX ROBINSON Dalton has run the mile and two mile for two years before this year. He has a, long list of victories and holds the Earlham record in both races and the I. C. A.

Very few men come to Earlham with baseball experience, as few Indiana high schools play the game. This makes the development of teams difficult for experience is a valuable asset to a baseball player. Last year no games were scheduled because of improvements on the track and field which involved much time and expense. This year, with the diamond in the best shape it has ever been in, a full schedule is being played. The team has four men, Captain Hinshaw, Kirk. Elder and Goar from the 1920 team and several of the other men have had previous baseball experience. Page one hundred twenty-three fTTT Xx X .X x X IXi A combination of fielding wabbles on the part of Earlhara and heavy hitting by Wilherforce lost the season ' s first game for Earlham by a 13-4 score.

In the fourth inning Wilherforce pounded the ball out for ten runs. This ended the scoring for either team, although Earlham threatened in the fifth and seventh innings. iiunrie 5fnrmal Decided improvement over the playing the first game was shown in the defeat of Murcie Normal 6-3. Earlham played a clean cut fast game and gave Goar good support. Earlham made only two errors to Muncie ' s four and also gathered m nme hits. Hmshaw made three hits in five trips to the plate and Elder accepted five chances in the field without a bobble.

Earlham played a ti.ght defensive ,?ame, .giving good support to Goar. who pitched a steady game, being especially strong in the last innings of the game. The hits which the Quakers made counted for scores and few men were left on bases. Normal ran up their three scores in the first three innings but Earlham came back strong and scored six runs in the latter half of the game. Elder played a sensational game, making a running catch in the field, knocking out two home runs and scoring a third run after he singled.

Before the other spring sports achieved pojut- larity, tennis chibs and match play held the lime-light in sports. The present courts were laid out in 1889 and that same year Professor E. P. Trueblood won the annual tournament. Earlham has averaged well in tennis, but her record is not exceptional. .More than usual interest has appeared this year. For the first time in a decade two-letter men were in school and others provided first-class competition. The team for the first match was selected by a round-robin tournament in which each man contested one set with, every other. The squad begun training early in the gymnasium and were able to get early out-door practice, in spite of heavy rains, because of the good condition in kl.l.llM GRISSOM, Kl ssLl h Ml MXXXX-X ,K srxxxx xx Page one hundred twenty-six KELLUM, GEISSOM, RUSSKLL HISS, HINSHAW, R( )SS which heavy roning had placed the courts. This pre-season preparation placed hoth men and courts in good condition for the first match. Kellum is probably the best player Earlham has ever had. He displays fine technique and good tennis judgment derived from many years of competition. Captain Russell andGrissom are players of different types but about equal ability, a shade of advantage going to the former because of his competitive experience. The other members of the squad are Hiss, Ross and V. Hinshaw, all players of some promise. The responsibility for the team ' s condition centers in the captain, for the first time and this development is calculated to develop efficiency in team play. Leon Cox, manager of the team has arranged a schedule in which a number of dual meets will be played before the I. C. A. L. A unanimous victory of 3-0 was won by the tennis team agahist Franklin on the same week-end the track team de- feated Indiana University and the baseball team beat Mun- cie Norma.1. Kellum and Russell played the singles and Kel- lum and Grissom the doubles. Speedy net work, steady ser- vice and accurate cross-court shots kept the Franklin men be- wildered but above all the superior physical condition of the Earlham men was responsible for the victory. Improvements in extending the tournament courts and in putting up substantial back-stops are being carried on by students under the direction of Nash Hio-o ' ins.

Not very strenuous, you more athletic ones say. Perhaps not, but at least it brought those hard-working students of the old days out into the fresh air. One who should know has told us how the Earlham women of the early seventies disliked to have to count the number of times they walked down to the gate in a day and to make that number measure up to a standard. They preferred croquet, of course. So do Earlham women of today prefer hockey and basketball to other sports in which the element of contest enters less strongly. Very early, gymnastic work for women was begun by Professor Edwin Trueblood in the attic of Lindley Hall. By way of interesting the college generally in this phase of women ' s activities, occasional public ex- hibitions of Indian club and wand drills were given on the chapel stage. When the gymnasium was built athletics were transferred to that place. Later, when there was somebody who could give it more time, basketball was introduced and some intercollegiate games were played but this practice was abandoned as being contrary to the purpose of women ' s athletics. As time went on. those in charge admitted the superiority of out-door athletics, and accordingly hockey, baseball and the other sports have been added until there is recreation and healthful exercise provided for every woman. At present the department offers the four major sports of track, baseball, hockey, and basketball; and the four minor sports of tennis, golf, archery and hiking, and it is to be hoped that swimming can be added to these in the near future. Earlham College stands among the best in Indiana in out-door sports and gymnastics for women and in the organization of the work. The head of the department is ever alert toi new methods and the enthusiastic cooperation of the Women ' s Athletic Association, which is a member of the national organization of Women ' s Athletic Associations, makes possible the standing of Earlham with universities all over the country in matters of athletic importance.

Officers THE year 1915-16 in which the permanent field for women ' s athletics became an actuahty saw also another step toward strengthening that department at Earlham College. In this year the Women ' s Athletic Association was formed. This association is composed of all the women of the college and is imder the direction of an executive committee consisting of the officers and the sports managers working with the head of the department. The W. A. A. has as its aim the interest of every woman in the college in athletics and good health. It has built up the field and increased the interest of students, faculty, and friends of the college in women ' s athletics. In 1920 it acquired a field house for the shelter of the field equipment. While this field house is not considered a temporary structure, it is regarded as only a forecast of the new gym.

Last fall one hundred twenty- four girls wore the shin-guards and every evening saw the white ball speeding up and down the iield with twenty-two girls hard after it. There were many more freshmen out than ever before, and each class had a full team. The inter-class games were fast and the low scores showed good work in the backfield. The series started with a 1-1 score in the junior-senior game. Both classes won from the sophomores and the seniors won from the freshmen also. There remained the junior-freshman game to be played and everybody e.xpected a junior victory and a consequent junior-senior tie in games won. But the frosh surprised themselves and everybody else by wmning the game, thus establishing the senior championship. T. Fisher M. Nicholson B. Hadley J. Wilson VARSITY A. Forsythe H. Brown A. M.

It has been played by Earlham women for several years and each year shows marked improvement in the playing. The season this year started soon after Thanksgiving and from the start there was strong competition for positions on class teams. The series of inter-class games began about the middle of February and lasted two weeks, each team playing each other team twice. The interest centered around the frosh and the seniors. The former team showed its grit and put up scrappy games, losing only to the seniors who won the championship for the third con- secutive year. The outstanding features of the series were the unusually high scores showing the development of forwards, and the clean fast team-work which was exhibited in many of the games. VARSITY M.

They were omitted this year because manv of the faculty women had more pressing duties connected with the Jubilee celebration. Baseball does not have quite the support that the other major sports have because its season coincides with that of track and because it is apt to conflict with other activities of the spring. (Jn the other hand. e -erybody is verv enthusiastic about getting out-of-doors again after the confinement of athletics to the gymnasium during the winter months. It is hoped that next spring there niav be indoor practice before the weather permits playing on the field so the fielding strength of the teams may more nearly equal their batting strength. Baseball needs and deserves more time and practice than it gets, but it will get more and the outlook for better baseball is very hopeful. Page one hundred thirty-five ' ■ T.

With it is expressed the hope that the sport may be enlarged and become a strong part of the spring activities. That hope has been realized. The annual field meet is a gala day as well as one of real contest. Then the neighbors and friends in Richmond come to watch the women run the hurdles and throw the javehn. The results of the meet go far toward deciding the class winning the championshiij cup which is awarded to the class which has w in first place in the most sports during the year. The progress that has been made in this sport is shown lay the fact that all the record-holders are in school at the present time.

' : Page one hundred torty S batrs SINCE the establishment of the Public Speaking Department and the organi- zation of its first debating team, Earlham has always ranked high in producing and developing wranglers. This success has been due to the efficient leadership of the head of this department, Professor E. P. Trueblood. This year the de- bating teams have been the most successful of any in the twenty-five years that Earlham has participated in intercollegiate debating contests, having won first ranking in the Indiana League. This Indiana Intercollegiate Debating League was organized two years ago, and consists of the two state universities and twelve colleges in the state. Throughout the various triangles formed within the league, the subject under discussion was The Open versus the Closed Shop. The first encounter this year was a duel debate with Huntington College on February 18, when the Earlham affirmative team lost to the Huntington negative team here, while the negative team won at Huntington. The first triangle of the season was held on March 3, when Earlham ' s affirmative team won a 2-1 decision against DePauw University here, and the negative team gained a similar decision over Purdue at Lafayette. In the second and last series of debates which was held on March 17, the Earlham affirmative team defeated the Val- paraiso team there, and the negative speakers won from the Goshen affirmative team here. The members of the affirmative team this year were: Robert S. Swain, captain. Edwin Teale, and Eugene Murray; while the negative team was com- posed of Vernon Hinshaw, captain. Leslie Pennington, and Orvil Miles.

One branch along with others of this department in which Earlham is classed as a front-ra nk college is ( )ratory, as Earlham orators have been suc- cessful in winning their share of victories since the founding of the State Oratorical Contests. Earlham was very fortunate this year in having the State Oratorical Contest held here on February 24. Six schools were represented in the contest, — Wabash, Franklin, Notre Dame. Manchester, Butler and Earlham. The Earl- ham representative was Vernon Hinshaw, ' 23. who took as his subject The Crisis. Mr. Hinshaw won second ranking in the contest, while Mr. Nevin S. James, of Wabash College, who spoke on, The New Frontier was awarded first honors. This phase of public speaking is becoming more popular each year at Earlham, and much inspiration and encouragement was afforded future orators by being able to attend a State Contest here. Much credit is due Professor Trueblood for our privilege of entertaining the state contestants this year, as it was through his efforts and foresight into the future welfare of the activities in the public speaking department that it was made possible. (irat0riml (Ennt st THE first annual intercollegiate oratorical contest of the Indiana No-Tobacco League was held in the Y. M. C A. auditorium at Indianapolis on the evening of January 23. Representatives from Franklin, Butler, Taylor, Manchester, State Normal, Indiana Central and Earlham competed in the contest. Edwin W- Teale, ' 22. speaking on Cigarettes and the World War, won first honors for Earlham, and the ' representative from Tavlor University was placed second. In his oration l Ir. Teale attacked the veracity of the statement, Cigarettes won the war, and affirmed the degenerating effect of the narcotic. His speech was a strong appeal, which secured for Earlham the honors of winning the first contest of this kind to be held in the state. By virtue of this victory Mr. Teale will repre sent Indiana in the national contest to be held at Winona Lake this summer. j xr x;Oc -xxxxx g ' gg Page one hundred forty-two g talr (irutniiral mtt (SimxttBt EACH year Eaiiham sends a representative to the Stare (Jratorical Peace Contest.

The winner of each contest has his or her name en- graved on this cup, which is kept in Professor E. P. Trueblood ' s room. A great deal of interest is shown each year in the Extempore Contests, and many students trv out in the preliminaries.

Xevertheless. we must all get accjuainted, and this is the first step in the great process. Each year the social committee plans for three or four evenings of enter- tainment and amusement. Various programs are arranged, which consist of con- tests, stunts and jokes. Although the activity of the committee is not felt during the entire year, as an organization it works when it does work. It is to the social committee that complaints must be made for having to sweep and put up clean curtains once each year in either Bundy or Earlham Hall. It is to the social committee that we must give our thanks, when after the evening has been pleasantly spent, we say that it was worth the trouble after all. As members of a college community, the student body stands as an organized unit, and for the maintenance of such a unit, a social life is necessary.

Wishing to get together socially while at Earlham, they formed the N. Y. N. E. club in 1919 with about fifteen charter members. It was the first territorial club organized at Earlham. — but not the last. In 1921 there came into prominence an organization that was not stiff-backed but just a lively congenial group from Dixie Land, down where the cotton and corn and taters grow, and where memories of Ole Black Joe still remam prominent. They represented the Sunny South. As all true southerners, these Dixie Landers like a good time, and prize dearly the cheery camp-fire up on the cliff by Clear Creek, when after delicious eats they gather around and sing the good old southern melodies, and listen to the tummin of the banjo. But while the moon is just coming up over the cemetery, there looms up another camp-fire in the adjacent woods, around which may be heard terms familiar in Philadelphia, at Westtown, or even at Atlantic City. The Pennsylvania-New Jersey club thus made its appearance in the college life at Earlham, and as the Dixie club functions for the southerner, and the N. Y. N. E. club for the New England and New Yorker, so does the Pennsylvania-New Jersey club meet similar demands of those coming from the east. N. Y. N.

Box 23, Lindley Hall, Earlham College, September 23, 1921. Dear Folks : Well, I got here after two hours effort. You see I met a couple of old students on the train and they told me where to get off. They said they were going on over to town for a little while and that that man vou see over there sitting in front of the middle door of that big building, will take care of you. ' ' I went up to him and asked him if he was Mr. Wild-man, dean of men and he looked sort of excited and said. Aha. my man, you must have saber and shield to enter the camp of Atilla the Hun : come you from Byzantium or Pompeii in such attire? Well to tell the truth, he was a Wildman, but not the right one! They had gotten me oft ' at the Easthaven asylum for the insane. I iinally made my way back to Earlham. The first thing I did was to get me a room. I drew the lower floor, inner court, and a sophomore all in one deal. At any rate, we don ' t have any of those two-story beds to fall out of. The Old Lady is all right, only he claims he ' s so-fist-icated ! Say, the skeeters are awful. Three of them had a free-for-all on the end of my nose from 5 :00 to 5 :01 A. M. this morning. I took a swat at them, but they dodged and I got the benefit. I spent yesterday registering for classes. I am taking History, Freshman Composition. Spanish, and lath. They say Miss Long goes like a whirl-wind. She doesn ' t know when to stop. The first classes and chapel came Wednesday. Prexy gave us a length) ' dis- course of Welcome, Warning and Wisdom. Prof. Jones and Prof. Lindley make some historical contrast, believe me. The Chem. Prof, would look better in short pants and the Math. Prof, could slip on his collar over his head. Miss Doan, Dean of AVomen, was the only one who knew me. Thev say she knows everything. Pm beginning to find out who people are myself, now. At noon Thursday a very important meeting of all sophomore men was called. Everybody laughed. I never did find out what the joke was. Thursday night, all freshmen were invited out to the gym to a get acc|uainted stag social. Holy Mackerel ! ! We zvent, but very nearly never came back I They beat us, burnt us. pushed us, and shoved us, ran us all over the campus bare-footed ; and Page one hundred fifty-tliree H H H i ' K!

They wanted us to have a warm spot ' for Earlham. I hope it doesn ' t come every Thursday night. I never did find one sock. Tomorrow night is to be a Who ' s who party. (They say it is not so stren- uous as get acquainted. ) Everybody is supposed to know everybody else, man, woman, and facuhy, from then on. I ' ll write again in a week or so, after I get recuperated. How ' s Thelma? I haven ' t even written her yet! Yours hopefully, Earl H.- m, ' 25. Steps of the D. D. D. Earlham College, October 4, 1921. Dear i Iamma and Papa : See where I write my letters now ! It ' s too nice to stay inside and besides I had to borrow this paper from Olive. She ' s a little Day Dodger girl that I sit by in History. ( I wrote Thelma she needn ' t get mad because I hadn ' t singled out just one girl yet.) Well, now I ' m all banged up again! Last Monday I began foot-ball practise, and say, Pop ! the stag social was nothing ! I never was much good at diving in zvatcr, let alone on land. They set up a big heavy dummy and get a big fellow named John Beasley to lay down across the path about 15 feet from the dummy. Then Coach says: Come on now, big boy, put all you got into it! Git low, come hard, and keep diggiii ' . Aw Hey Dewey! Come here and show ' em how. — Atta boy! See? Don ' t be afraid to pick up a little sod. Do you know what would happen to you if Milstead of AVabash would hit you — just once? No, you ' d nez ' er know. Now, over here ! Ivey, you work ' em a little on falling on the ball. And if I catch any loafers, it ' s 5 times around the track and in! Take it from me Pop, it ' s great stuff. (I had to go around the track last night. ) C)ur regular table assignments are on the bulletin board now. I have a good one, right in the middle of the dining room. Oh yes, we had our first class parties yersterday. The upper-classmen didn ' t bother us at all and we figured we were in luck ; but Oh Bo) ' — When we went home, it wasn ' t there ! ! I got off rather easv by rooming with a sophomore. I Iy door was up on third floor, jammed in a window and with two panels out. I haven ' t found Thelma ' s picture vet. Crow- Peck, the janitor, has turned red-headed! Well, so much for this. C)live is coming back from class now. I gotta buzz. Your loving son. Earl Ham. Page one hundred fifty-five h.

Dear Thelma : You ' ve been wanting to see a picture of L live so I asked her for 1. She wanted to know what for and I couldn ' t tell her that, so this picture of Initiations on Frosh Dav will have to do. See if you can guess which one she is from what I ' ve told. I ' m in there too, somewhere — not by Olive, though; Frosh Day is some affair. The Sophs are the leaders and we do the following: At 6:00 A. M. special Art and Beauty Parlors are opened up — service is free, too. Every freshman is expected, inspected and disrespected. We fellows had to wear all our clothes backward, 2 colors of shoes, carry a green flag, a shoe shining rag and a whisk broom. We had to enter and leave all buildings by the back doors and do anything an upper-classman wanted us to do. It is the day of no pride and little conscience, I ' ll tell the world. The girls had to dress a certain way, too. (I ' m not ciuite up on all the details of that.) The - had to show veal ears and some of them took cold. They braided their hair and had to carry an open two-passenger umbrella all the time. (It has never been known to rain on Frosh Day, ) In the afternoon comes the big event of the year, the Freshman-Sophomore Tug o ' War. I am sending a couple of pictures of it also. That fellow in the middle there that seems to be enjoying it so much is Ooofy Gauze. He ' s a sophomore. They were regular old soaks before we got done with them. They Page one hundred fifty-seven inl H K }{ M K i; H K V H K K H K H I : IK had us within about 2 feet of that water once, but we held. In fact, we held so tight we coulchi ' t open our hands for about 20 minutes after the thing was over ! I ' ll bet they ' ll never have as big a pull as that again! Last Saturdav we had our first football game. We beat Hanover 14-7. As soon as it was announced all the fellows began yelling, Freshmen ! Get the kindling. I thought sure they were going to celebrate by beating up on us. but I found out they meant get kindling for a bon-fire. I ' m sending a picture of it and part of the crowd around it. These bon-fires are great times. We sing. yell, and make speeches and (even buzz a little on the side). Dewey Book- out our left end says football is a disease. He ' s a chronic stifferer. Our yell leader is Louie Wildman and he sure lives up to the name. To prove it. he can kick the ceiling in the dining-room lobby and never muss the crease in his trousers. Here are a few pictures of how and where we live. I thought maybe you would like to see where I hang out when I am in. I hear the buzzers coming in, they all went over to see What ' s your Husband Doing. tonight. There, the lights are going out. Yours again. Earl H. m. XXX Page one hundred fifty -eight 0. -Mxi-cfi.

Look in the picture below and you ' ll see the library where I study some times for hours, even minutes. First time I used the library I got a 15c magazine out and on the way back next morning I said Good-morning to Dr. Dexter therefore, was late and had to pay a 25c fine. I tried out for Glee Club the other day and I nearly got caught on the scales. Prof. Garton made me tra-la and ti-do, sing a ditty, then I left. I couldn ' t tell by looking at him how I got along. At least, it didn ' t seem to ruffle his hair, but I guess it is guaranteed to give satisfaction. The pictures this time are, first, Miss Doan ' s parlor, where she has her pink teas, the parlor for guests and the girl ' s parlor. Olive didn ' t give these to me I bought them. I hope I never get called up before J liss Doan. I got a bill yesterday for two pills I got from the hospital. I think I ' ll take one of them back and start a credit account. Up there they even charge for smelling the camphor bottle. That ' s all for now. Still respectably, E. RL H. M. P. S. I ' ll be netting broke before long, it ' s an awful feeling. — E. H.

THE EARLHAM PRESS Page one hundred ninety There is more reason for saying grace before a new book than before a dinner. — Lamb. Qood Books are Life Teachers Some books are our servants. They run errands for us. They are menial drudges. They bring us information; they tell us news; they keep us up to date; they equip us for our trade. But the great books are not our slaves : they are our masters ; we sit at their feet to learn. Look, they say, and looking, we catch new visions of life ' s significance. Consider, they say, and considering, we are captured by a new truth and our spiritual power is multiplied. A man ' s life is made by the hours when great ideas lay hold upon him and except by way of living persons there is no channel down which great ideas come oftener into human lives than by way of books. Said Charles Kingsley, Save a living man, nothing is so wonderful as a book. Most of the books we read are like the rain water that tell last night. It is a superficial matter and it soon runs oiT. But the literature of creative spiritual power is a whole sea — the accumulated spiritual gains of the ages — and to know it and love it, to go down beside it and dip into it, to feel its vast expanse, the currents that run through it and the tides that lift it, are among the choicest and most rewarding privileges that man can enjoy. — Fosdick.
