Notable comments about Earlham
include:
 |
"…this
Quaker school of just over a thousand students is anything
but small-minded. Earlham confounds all the stereotypes of
small town America, while embracing its community values.
The result is a unique and thoroughly eclectic place centered
whole-heartedly on individual growth, as well as on the process
of learning how to contribute to society."
"The intimate environment is integral
to Earlham's endeavor to develop students in all
intellectual directions.…As one student says, 'I
graduated with a totally different sense of my place in
the world, not just my community…Earlham forces you
to see the horizon, then question what's beyond it.'" |
|
"Students and faculty
are on a first name basis, as is Quaker tradition and this
informality reflects the relaxed tone of academic life at
Earlham. That is not to say the work is not rigorous, rather,
students are able to 'steer [their] own course,' and
move in any and all directions they please. The accessibility
of professors is part of what makes the experience at Earlham
so
special…."
"In a small town, this small school
succeeds in creating an atmosphere of buzzing intellectual
activity paired with relaxed self-determination and development.
Earlham's small size and strong moral dedication
to creating questioning and aspiring individuals teach
its students about a great cause, the national endeavor
to be a united community of engaging individuals." |
