termined effort is to be made by the alumni
of Indiana University to raise the $4,000
required, with the $4,000 already pledged,
TO secure $50. 900 additional for the purpose
of erecting a womans building. AS TO
who is the donor is yet a profound secret,

movement. will be greatly missed in the
effort. The proposed gift of $4,000 is the
outgrowth of a movement To erect a wom-
ans building which was started over a
year ago by Mrs. Swain.
