REVIEW MADE OF
THE YEARS WORK
President Kelly, in Chapel Talk
Sums Up What Earlham
Has Accomplished.
ENROLMENT INCREASED
BUILDING DEBT HAS BEEN LIQUI-
DATED AND THE ENDOWMENT
is ON WAY TO HOPED FOR MIL
LION DOLLAR MARK.

In his last appearance in chapel this
year, President Robert l.. Kelly, of
Earlham College, yesterday morning
addressed the students in a sort of
farewell manner, and commented on
the work that has been done at the
college during the past year-the best
year, he said, that the institution has
ever known.
President Kelly talked in very
optimistic strain of the prospects of
Earlham for next year and during
succeeding years. He showed what
he has done during his administration
as head of the institution and that he
has brought it's standing to the top
among Indiana seats of learning.
Much improvement is noted in the
courses, building and equipment, as
we'll as in the standing, since Pres
Kelly took charge, and he predicts
that the future will be just as bright.
Some of the important happenings
since President Kelly took charge of
the school and which show what ad-
vancement has been made were re-
called in his talk. He took charge of
the college three years ago. Since then
the building debt of $25. 200 has been
liquidated; the enrolment has in
creased from 241 to AS: the Depart
ment of Education has been establish
ed, and an effort begun to increase
the Endowment, which is now over a
quarter Of a million, to a round mil.
lion of dollars. The great TRANSFORMED
ton of attitude of Richmond people to
the school was shown. Day students
are among the ablest and most loyal
in the College and the first Earlham
Annual was issued by them. The In.
tercollegiate peace conference was
brought to Earlham: an interurban
station was erected; and buildings
and campus lighted with electricity
Long strides have been made toward
getting a perfectly equipped library
The Carnegie fund is now possible
hundreds Of dollars are being receiv'
ed annually for library maintenance;
and only recently, Earlham got pos
session Of the library of the late 10
seph Elkinton, consisting of 1000
volumes, besides 1000 pamphlets.
The work of Earlham graduates. in
the field of literature and learning
was shown. Some students have re
ceived good positions in the engineer
ing departments of railroads and 9th
ers are meeting with success along
other lines. Altogether. the address
was one of praise for Earlham's rec
the outlining of the fine opportunities
the school will have for future ad
vancement.

USE OF THE LIGHT FUND
Money Derived From Municipal Light
Plant Is Being Used by the City
From Time to Time and Draws No
Interest-There Mr.. Bartel.

Councilman Bartel. who is a mem
Der Of the SHOW Me Club" asked in
council Monday night a seemingly in
nocent question but which proved to
be one of great embarrassment Mr..
Bartel's interrogation was what is
done with the money in the Munich
pal Light plant fund.-"
Two or three officials looked wise,
hummed and hawed. but no answer
was made. Mr.. Bartel also wanted to
know if the money was drawing inter-
est and if it wasn't, why. not? A men,
Der of the board of works was asked
the Bartel conundrum last night and
he replied that the plant had not yet
paid back all the money it had Dor
rowed from the city, and that the city
was drawing on the fund from time to
time. At the present time there is
about $4,000 in the fund but It is
drawing no interest. This same condi-
tion of affairs existed IN the days
when the management of the plant
was in the hands of the municipal
light plant committee.
