COLLEGE.. . funds given to the College by Andrew Carnegie, was completed in 1903 and was held to be the model college library for many years. r The physical plant was not the only aspect of Earlham that saw improvement dur- ing the first years of. the twentieth century Earlham 'was included in the first list of educational institutions accepted by the Association of American Colleges in 1913, and was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1915. Earlham hasibeen listed continuously since then by both agencies. 'The system of student self-government that is in existence today at Earlham was first put into operation in 1909. i The prosperity attendant to the end of the First World War and the increased en- rollment made it possible for the College to meet a growing need by building the E. P. Trueblood Fieldhouse, one of the' best then' existing in the state. The College also added acreage to the College Farm anderected a new Laundry and Shop in 1924. The optimism born of this increased prosperity for the College was dampened con- siderably by the burning of Lindley Hall in fall of 1924. Although most of the building itself was destroyed, a number of articles from the museum collection were salvaged and most of the College records were saved. Plans were started immediately for the build- ing of a new administrative and classroom building, which was finished in 1927 and named Carpenter Hall in honor of the original Boarding School's first Superintendent and Matron. Q e A Diamond Jubilee was held at Earlham in 1922 to commemorate the 75th anniver- sary of the founding of the original Friends Boarding School. An address was given by Herbert Hoover, the Secretary of Commerce of the United States, and the twelfth Old English May Day -performance was given. a , Needs were felt, during the latter, part of the 19307s, for a comprehensive building program and in the early 1940's a decade of rebuildingi' was planned in an,effort to modernize Earlham's facilitiesr The Second World War, however, with its attendant dis- ruption of college life, precluded :furtherance of any plan for a rebuilding program un- tilhafter the end of the War. In 1947 a Centennial Celebration of the founding of the Boarding School and the College was held., after which the Building Program got under way in earnest. Olvey-Andis Residence for Women was the first to be completed, in 1949: David Worth Dennis Science Hall and the Joseph Moore Museum, the Presidentls Home and 'Stout Memorial Meetinghouse' were completedlduring 1951. A new heating plant was finished in 1949 and shop and laundry facilities were completed in 1954. The program is continuing with plans for a complete renovation of Earlham Hall and the construction ofa Barrett Hall, a duplicate of Oivey-Andis. - 3 3 No .histo!:y'of Earlbiam wouldgbe complete without mention of those who helped to mold her past and are helping to chart her fiiture course . . . the many who have given and are freely giving ofzthemselves7thatgEarlham might continue to respect the best.
