The Medical School of Maine cannot stand

progress. 1t must either advance or decline.
In order to make satisfactory advance. and
Keep itself abreast with the progressive and
prosperous colleges of the land, 1t must have
money from other sources than the pockets

statesmen OF Maine, are strong and sturdy,

money has been given literally. In one in

was given for quarter of million of dollars.
We appeal to our fellow citizens of Maine
and to our friends outside for fifty Thousand
dollars to build and equip a new Medical
Building in Portland, and an equal sum for
| laboratory work or endowment, the money
TO be paid to the President and Trustees of
| Bowd0in College. to be expended at their

The undersigned, the Faculty of the Medi-
