of splendid courage In defeat, but II
IS the place 10 say In behalf of Earl
ham young manhood and womanhood
that such results as were attained the
past wear in the lines just referred to
and in the other departments of legi-
innate college activity, could be at
tanned only by a body of young people
with sound bodies and clean lives,
who were working together in an at
mosphere of harmony and aspiration.
The most inspiring thing that comes
forth from the heavy labors of the
officers and teachers, is the spectacle
of scores of we'll equipped men and
women who go forth from the o
lege at the end Of their course to take
their places as strong factors in the
upbuilding of society in all sections
of our country and in foreign lands.
And the Earlham graduate has given
such an account of himself in the past
that it becomes a pleasant n usual
~ even an easy task to locate the
new graduates each succeeding year
in positions of responsibility and good
remuneration.
Religious Life.
The religious life of the students
during the year was we'll up to the
usual standard. All of the well-tested
methods which have produced good
results in the past in building young
Christian character were successfully
used. There were no less than 1877
registrations in the Biblical courses of
fered by the department of Biblical
literature, not to speak of the large
registration in the volunteer Bible
classes. A special feature among
these volunteer classes consisted in
a group of so or 60 students who set
the college pastor weekly in the dis
cussion Of special questions previous
ly placed in a question box. These
questions bore upon religious and
moral problems and in the answers
an effort was made to show the
ground which SHOULD govern conduct
and belief. Some especially interest
ed students, working with the appro-
val of a committee of the faculty,
made an appeal to Quarterly Meet
ings controlling the college, for funds
to be used in paying the expenses of
students feeling a call to visit and as
sist weak and needy meetings. About
$75 has been contributed for this pur.
| pose, and his has become n of the
interesting and valuable features OF
student effort in Christian work. Two
short series of meetings were held
during the year. In one for men, led
by the college pastor and other mem
bers of the faculty. s young men be,
anne active Christians; in the other
for women, led by the college pastor
and Della Leonard, 10 young women
became active Christians. The meet
ings were also efficient in strengthen.
ing the regular current of religious
life in the college community. Over
IS per cent of all students enrolled
reported themselves as church mem
bers.
