lege. Also they have been successful
in raising funds for improving the
beauty and comfort of the buildings
and grounds, as is evident to the passer
by. Especially worthy of mention is
the fact that one friend of the college
has donated fund to be used in paint
ing the two large brick buildings
known as the Institute and the
Margaret Hall; and the expectation is
that the work upon this will begin in
very few days. With the exception of
sixty dollars worth of lumber donated
by the Pearl River Lumber Company
and it's President, Capt. Moreton, all
the improvement fund used thus far
has been raised outside of Brookhaven.
The presidents, in their efforts to
make the college an attraction and
real blessing to the town, will appre-
ciate very much any financial or other
help rendered by any of the Brook
haven citizenry.
