.EARLHAM COLLEGE
OPENS ON TUESDAY
Institution Is Debt Free and
an Excellent Year Is
Predicted.

Next Tuesday marks the opening OF
the fifty-third year of Earlham college,
at which time the work OF the school
year 1911-1912 will commence with the
enrolment of students. The Quaker

history. The debt of $4,000 which
was hanging over the college last
spring has been entirely wiped out
by the fund raised in the campaign re
Gently held, and in addition, the treas
ury shows surplus of something over
$4,000.
AS there has been an unusually large
enrolment at the college this year
several changes in the management
of the school have been planned by the
officers. The most important altera
tion will be the recently adopted re
quirements for graduation. Under the
new system, a student will have to
carry two major" studies and three
minor" ones in order to qualify fol
his sheepskin on commencement day
The alteration in the requirements
mean that pupil will get a good gen
eral education during his four years In
the school, as we'll as a special train
ing in one or two subjects.
1t is announced that before long the
college will be without the services OF
a superintendent and matron, as Viii
liam and Deborah Furnas, the two oc
cupying these offices at present, will
soon retire. Their duties will be di
vided among several of the heads o1
the institution, Chief Engineer Marina
