Problem Of psrpiexlns.
s The problem OF assimtlating the lar
eest freshman class the college ever
had WAS perplexing, but the outcome
was most gratifying. Several changes
have been made In the details Of dor
mitory life indicating growing sense
Of responsibility and loyalty On the
part OF the StudontS. The effort is
made in both dormitories to continue
the traditions ana customs which have
created about Earlham College a 1t.
nhospherA particularly her own. At
the same time several Irregularities
which Ia times past interfered with
the highest ideals OF the college have
been eliminated. During the year
part OF Saturday was set aside for lab
uratory and other serious college work
and . movement was started for the
reduction OF the ccat OF student life.
An interesting phase OF receht devel-
opment In student life at EArlhAm has
been the increase of good feeling and
cooperation between the dofmitory
students and day students. For the
current year. Miss Martha DoAn Is
Dean Of Women.
Suggested Change.
|, In my report last year is found this
recomme ndation. II desire to make the
suggestion that the Yearly Meetings
he requested to authorize such chang
81 In the constitution Of the College as
will allow and provide for the addition
Of three Trustees to be chosen from
their own membership by the Alumni
Of the college" This Recommendation
WAS adopted unanimously by the
Board OF Trustees and by each Of the
Yearly Meetings. Il. !.
It was found, however, that IN order
to make the action effective the exact
change which is proposed must be
adopted in the form Of q resolution by
all the organizations that are parties
to the contract. As this resolution
has already been unaninA0usly adopted
by the Board. I ask that 1t be adopted
by the Yearly Meeting. In case this Ia
done, the resolutions will be filed with
the Secretary Of State who will au-
thorize the change contemplated in the
constitution. F..
The College and society.
Year by year the college widens its
sphere OF influence beyond the limits

in charge that Earlharn may render

faculty and students a. well - through
its Alumni. The Department Of Educa.

the state, but throughout the nation
through the medium OF the Council OF
Church Boards Of Education, the Reli9.

historical associations.
During the year the Department OF
Chemistry has been called upon on
