The Edwin S. Bundy Dormitory.
In the report of one year ago, the an
nouncement was made that Zenas and
Rachel Bundy, of Greenfield, Indiana,
had proposed to make a conditional
for the erection of a COM
modious dormitory for boys to be nam
ed in memory of their son, Edwin s.
Bundy. and the hope and belief was ex-
pressed that the friends of the college
would assist literally in carrying out
their plans. The most optimistic ones
among us did not dream at that time
that the plans would be consummated
so soon. Soon after last years report
was written. they made public the
amount of their intended gift as $4,000
with the condition that like sum be
raised to complete the dormitory. Aft
er the reading of the Earlham report at
Indiana Yearly Meeting, one year ago, |
the sum of $11. .511.o0 was soon sub
applied in meeting the condition i'm
posed by them. 1t was thought then |
that two years would be required to
the subscription. The prog |
ress of events, however. has been more
rapid. AS is well known, the building |
is now completed. with the exception of
the heating apparatus and the furnish
ing. Zenas Bundy and wife have paid
the full amount of their subscription,
and almost all the additional subscrip-
tions necessary have been made.
Earlham Hall.
AS soon as the authorities of the COL
ege were reasonably assured that the
Edwin S. Bundy dormitory would be
ready for occupancy by the opening of
he fall term, active steps were taken
70 put the east half of Earlham Hall
hat part formerly occupied by the
roung men-in readiness for young
dormitory. The rooms were
repapered and appropriate
y furnished for young women. All of
he students rooms on the first. second
md third floors of both sides of Earl
lam Hall are now available for young
vomen and the prospect is that they
will all be well filled. The basement
ooms and the fourth floor rooms will
,e utilized in other ways. An entrance
or young men has been made through
wo OF the basement rooms to the din
ng room. which also may be enlarged
IS occasion may demand. Not only
will the common dining room be pre-
erved in Earlham Hall as heretofore.
