when the time came that these
institutions were in position to
throw a little patronage in the

it cost nothing to do so. the poor,

incapable of turning out work to

Educated vandals despoiled the front
of Lindley Hall, Earlham College, last
night by painting the initials ID. d.
in red and black letters promiscuous-
ly on the bricks and stone. ID. d.
is the insignia of Day Dodger, the term
applied to the students at the college
who do not room in the dormitories.
1t is presumed these letters were paint
ed for the purpose of throwing suspi-
cion on this class of the students. The
Day Dodgers. however, deny any
knowledge of the affair and denounce
the work of the vandals as altogether
unbefitting college students. They do
not hesitate to say they believe the
painting was done either by residents
of the dormitory or persons not con-
nected with the college.
Paint Up eowIder.
The custom Of painting a huge bowl

day dodger students. Their skill with
the paint brush was limited In its ap-

at no time was any effort made to de-

was regarded among the day dodger
boys as a special recognition. The
