allure. Nothing is more frequently
insisted by preeept and example; and
nothing is better understood by all
members of the college both in the
student body and In the faculty than
that Earlham College stands first and
foremost for Christian character.
This ideal is not only upheld in the
college Chapel and the association
room; it is set forth In the study
room. in the class room. on the ath-
letic field. Earlham College has
record wherever she is known for
clean and fair athletics. She abides
by and insists upon the enforcement
of the athletic rules, and even in this
age which has been characterized by
leading university president as the
age of systematic prevarication in
athletics, Earlham College will stand
in the athletic field, and i'll every 9th
er field, in defence of the simple de-
mands of Christian manhood and
womanhood. The college authorities
are in deep sympathy with the va
rious phases Of student life. We hold
that a college is a place where men
and women are i'll the making, and
Earlham College would register her
firm belief founded upon some years
of successful experience, that there
may be wholesome and spontaneous
student life in an American College,
without the presence of these dis
graceful outbreaks and lawless depre-
dations so characteristic of certain
educational institutions. The college
is proud of the honors her students
win in the various lines of inter-col-
legiate enterprises-in oratory. foren-
sizes, athletics-as we'll as in the
more usual forms Of student activity,
but she is prouder still because these
honors are won without the sacrifice
of Christian principle.
1t is our privilege to announce that
the first Cecil Rhodes scholarship
from Indiana, in Oxford University,
was awarded to a member of Earl
hams class of 1903-George f. Ham
ilton-and he is at the present time
on his way to Oxford. This scholar
ship is good for three years and af
fords an annual stipend of ST 10000.
1t seems not inappropriate that an
institution under the control of the
church which has for centuries been
proclaiming the gospel of interna-
tional amity and good will among
men, should furnish the first young
man from this State who is to be edu-
Gated with the conscious purpose of
contributing toward the cementing to-
eether the members of the Anglo Sax
on race.
1t becomes my duty at this time to
announce the voluntary withdrawal
from the faculty. on account of Sc
rious affection of his throat, Of DIR.

years Professor of Modern Langu-
