The great parade Of yesterday

have been identified with three efforts
similar to this endowment undertak-
ing, but have never seen anything
like this demonstration for real char
acter and excellence.
Especially are the Kiwanis and
Rotary clubs to be commended, for it
that made the event possible and
brought it to so splendid a culmina-
ton.
Spirit Was Gratifying.
THE spirit of cooperation on the
part of the manufacturers, merchants
and other lines of business was most
gratifying and proves beyond doubt
the superiority of Richmond's capaci-
ty for "get-togetherness."
ITO havs the high school and Gar
field junior high school students in
the parade gave it a character most
inspiring and the grade students on
the side lines" also made their con-
tribution to the great event. The
school board, Superintendent Bentley,
Principals Bate and Heircnimus, and
the entire force of teachers rendered
great assistance by dismissing school
for the occasion and by planning the
participation Of the students in the
parade 1t made the event what 1T
should be-a distinctly educational
one and proved the interest of Rich
mond in her educational institution.
The response of the general public
in giving the occasion their generous
and enthusiastic presence was partic-
ularly encouraging. There was feel
ing of loyalty and interest in the oc-
casiOn which was very evident.
Feels Encouraged by Spirit.
"One could not fail to feel that any
institution that could command the re-
sponse evidenced by this magnificent
demonstration of interest and enthus-
iasm would be provided with what
ever was necessary to make her 100
per cent efficient. This whole occas-
ion promised well for the activities
of next week and assured those who
are to do the work of solicitation of
most cordial and kindly reception
and also a liberal and generous re-
sponse from everyone.
On behalf of the college, including
the board of trustees, faculty, and stu
dent body, permit me to express my
most sincere appreciation to all men,
toned above as we'll as the public in
general who turned out to. man to
lend interest and enthusiasm to this
occasion.
Will Make College Better.
We feel assured of the results of
next weeks activities in soliciting
contribution to the fund sought to
make Earlham a. better servant OF the
entire community.
Without doubt the solicitors will
go forth with better spirit and firm
er confidence that they will be gra-
ciously received and generously
