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.
