DR.. Pearsons Allows Colleges Another
Year to Earn Donations.

Chicago, Jan. DIR. D. K. Peafsons,
the Chicago philanthropist, made a New
Years resolution, which was at the
same time an ultim alum to the colleges
which are expecting to profit by his
bounty. There are eight of these col
leges and 100000 of the doctors money
is waiting for them, to be handed over
to their endowment funds the minute
sums of money on their own account
Not one of them, however, fulfilled the
conditions at the close of last year.
They shall have until January 1,
at his Hinsdale home, land if they are
not ready then, they will never get a.
cent from me. That's the limit.
By way of making this binding, DR..
Pearsons embodied his resolution in
letters which he wrote to each of the
college presidents. DIR. Pearsons an
nounced further that it was his purpose
not to make any more conditional gifts
to colleges. 1t was his intention, he
said, to give the rest of his wealth

end of this year. he said, will go
straight out to the institutions 1 have
them in all, mostly in the west. and I
am going to look them all over next
year and make up my mind The col
legeS that have done well, that have
saved the endowment and used 1T In the
right way, will get the money
Some of the fortunate colleges DR..
Pearsons has already decided on. He
did not say so directly, but his praise of

A petition is being circulated for an
eight-block extension of the pavement
on Van Buren, street, from Twelfth to
Twentieth This will pass through the
newly plated Orchard Place, also
through Walnut Grove, to Shunganunga
creek It will be quite an obstacle to
the proposed pavement on Kansas ave-

parallels that street such a short dis

ers- will sign the petition. A protest
