partments, the Philosophy and His
tory group, the Language group, the
Mathematics and Science group and
the Literature group. The educa-
tional work is done by thirty men and +.
women, it being one of the policies of !
the institution not to use student as

Campus of 40 Acres. |
! The number of buildings has in /
creased with the development of the !
institution and il is generally recog- /
nized that the physical conditions at
/ Earlham are attractive, convenient .
and modern. There is a beautiful /
campus of 40 acres, with an 80 acre
i farm in the rear, and on this campus
are Earlham hall, the original build |
| ing now a women's dormitOry, Lind |
/ ley hall, the chief administration |
building, Bundy hall, the mems dormi- F..
! tory, the Library, the Observatory, the
! Central Heating and Power plant, the
! Gymnasium, Reid Field with grand
stand and the barns.
| The physical plant is estimated as
being worth over 100000 and the per
manent endowment is now over $426,-
900. The annual budget is $135,000.
Many thousands of dollars annually
are brought to Richmond and put into
! circulation by non resident students
and many thousands of dollars are
kept in Richmond annually because
Richmond boys and girls have the best
of educatio opportunities of college
grade brought to their very doors. One
of the things of which the manage
ment is distinctly proud, is that the To-
cal patronage is, compared with 9th
| er institutions, remarkably large.

r Holds to Good.
: One secret of Earlham'S success I'm.
doubtedly is that she is progressively
| conservative. She does not abandon
, ideas and methods because they are
, old nor take them on because they
are new. She attempts to hold fast to
that which is good and true, and to
; keep abreast of the times.
AS illustrative of this principle ii
may be pointed out Eat Earlham is
leading most colleges of the literary
e type in offering practical courses in
| domestic science, manual training, ag
i rlculture and the fundamental cours
= es for law, medicine and engineering
: Not only is such work offered but il
4 counts, as do the traditional lines OF
= work, toward the baccalaureate de
/ gree. For instance a student car
), spend three years at Earlham anC
c three years at leading law school
as Indiana, Michigan, or Chicago-anC
l. receive both the A B. Degree anC
|. the law degree. The Richmond col
o ors-yellow and cream-are the col
/ lege colors and the college opens as
:. the Fall. Festival is in operation-sc
g we have much in common.
