J. Earnest Carman
Mr. Carman, the member of class 1901, who breaks the age record of graduation, was born Aug. 13th, 1882, and will complete the college course at the age of 18. He began his school career at a district school near St. Charles, Iowa, and at the age of 14 he entered Freshmen at Simpson and graduates with the outgoing class, with six extra hours to his credit. After two years of work, probably teaching, Mr. Carman is planning to take university work. Few men get through college at 18, and we trust that Mr. Carman will pursue his post graduate work to as successful a conclusion as he has his collegiate.
