WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON COLLEGE
will begin its S9th year on Wednesday. Septem-
Der II. The prospect for large accession of
new students is very favorable. The college IS
in better condition than ever before to do its
work. But enlargement in several directions
is needed 1t is earnestly hoped that the
modest appeal put forth by the President, Dr..
Moffat, will find liberal response. The frequent
notices of liberal gifts to institutions of LEARN
ing. East and West, ought to stimulate giving
in that direction in Western Pennsylvania.
There are some, surely. who are ready TO make
memorial gifts to Washington and Jefferson
College, The Commencement Hall, SO earnestly
needed, might stand as monument of some
departed one. 1t is said that one of the most
beautiful buildings at Harvard was erected in
honor of the soldier alumni who fell in battle

students and % Washington students gave their
lives for their country. What more appropriate
than to put some building on the campus as
memorial Of these noble menf Who will
