DR.. Hatcher got sl,2u yesterday Tor
the Richmond College endowment fund
Most of the money came from Unexpected
sources Some OIL 1t came from the stu
dents who lad taken bones nome with
them before Christmas to distribute. out
thu REMAINDER came from outlying
churches. Their letters telling of the
taking of bonds had been delayed by the
high water In nearly every part OF a..1o
State.
But" said DR.. Hatcher last night.
II am getting more kilograms of con-
gratulations on securing .ne money tnan
telling about bonds disposed OF. =
Where Gid thy como from?' the
newspaper man asked.
From nearly all over the State and
some places out of it, he said.
The following IS a communication from
DR.. j. l.. NJ. Curry:
my Dear DR.. Hatcher:
with new year greeting; thousand
congratulations on your extraordinary.
brilliant, unexpected, monumental, hard-
conditioned success"
Here is letter from DR.. Samuel H..
Green, president of Columbian University,
Washington:
.aDear DR.. Hatcher:
Accept my hearty congratulations on
the success of your heroic struggle lor
the s75,0 eco for Richmond College. We do
rejoice with you.
A number Of other letters and te1e-
grams came. Among them was one from
Dr.. A. E. Owen, of Portsmouth, mem
Der of the Board of Trustees of the Col
1ege, and another from DR.. Henry nc
Donald, formerly pastor of the Second
Baptist Church, but now of Kentucky.
ROCKEFELLER is NOTIFIED.
Dr.. Charles H Ryland. secretary of the
k,.,,r So 10 = on
| H. L. Morehouse. secretary of the Ameri-
| can Education Society. telling him that
he has no doubt that the conditions
| necessary for getting, the money offered
by. Mr.. Rockefeller have been complied
with The American Education Society
| is an organization Of New York city, to
| which is entrusted the management of
| the money which Mr.. Rockefeller is CIV
| ing to educational institutions. DR..
| Morehouse is its secretary. DR.. Ryland
| did not write a formal certificate of the
compliance with the conditions imposed
by the society. but more nearly a personal
letter to DR.. Morehouse telling him of
the success of the campaign. The coll
| lege officers are going slowly. They are
| roodest now and will not admit that much
more than $4,000 has been secured.
DIR. HATCHER TO LECTURE.
| DR. Hatcher will deliver series OF
i've lectures at the Southern Baptist The
illogical Seminary during the latter part
OF February. His general theme will be
the Relation of the Pastor to the Sun
day-school.''
But there is much yet to be done. The
| Harris memorial movement has met with
great success. Probably ten or twelve
thousand dollars have already been Sc
cured. Twenty-Five thousand are needed.
Dr.. Hatcher will have to push this mat
ter along. He is going, Also to get many
Of the churches of the State to establish
| scholarships a $500 each in the college.
| Some have already done. So Then it
would not be surprising if Dr.. Hatcher
does not work in the interest of the
movement Of the coordination of all the
Baptist schools Of the State.
He has been engaged by the college for
| a period Of five years.
The following letter came from him
| last night:
HE THANKS THE TIMES.
To the the Editor of The Times:
| In closing the campaign for the $4,000
| to meet the Rock efeller offer of $4,000,
| justice and gratitude alike constrain me
| to bear witness to the incompara be cour-
| tesy and hel2fuiness OF your paper.
| While a. partisan of no special enterprise.
| you are the friend of every movement
| which looks to the prosperity of your
| city and State share with my denoW-
| nation the satisfaction afforded by the
| outcome OF our movement and I feel
| that it would be hard to overestmate
| the help Of your paper in bringing this
| enterprise to successful conclusion.
| You have been as considerable in withhold
| ing everything that would hurt as you
| have been prompt to print everything
| that would help this work.
In the name of the trustees and friends
| OF Richmond College, I make grateful
acknowledgment Of services so generously
| rendered
| With great respect.
w E. HATCHER,
President of Trustees.
