According to the College Guides
Loren Pope's Colleges That Change Lives,
2006-07
Former higher
education editor of The New York Times, Pope, who died
in 2008, had written about colleges and advised students and the
college choice process since 1952. "The colleges in this
book are notable for their sense of community but none has more
concern for others, their rights, their views, and their selves
than Earlham. … If every college and university sharpened young
minds and consciences as effectively as Earlham does, this country
would approach utopia." |

Information for this selective guide

Fiske's list of "Best Buys of 2009." "Although
Earlham students are based in the Midwest, they graduate ready
to take on the world, thanks to the school's cooperative,
can-do spirit, international perspective, and caring student/faculty
community." |

arts and sciences." Attempting to assist students in judging
