the campus. In short time, as soon as
the weather will allow, the campus about
the new Science Hall will be shaped up
and sodded. Indiana avenue, which bounds
the campus on the west side, Is also to be

The board of trustees will meet here next

FRANKLIN PENSION.
Aid Asked for an Institution for Aged
and Infirm Printers.

Boston Globe.
In 1927 there was founded i'm London. Eng
land, an institution for granting pensions
to disabled and incapacitated printers. and
In lS65 royal charter of incorporation was
granted the organization, when other
branches of usefulness to the scheme were
added. On June 10 next the seventy-sixth
anniversary festival of the association.
which is known as the Printers Pension,
Almshouse and Orphan Asylum Corpora
ton, will be held at the Hotel Metropole,
London. The corporation is honored by the
patronage of his Majesty, King Edward
VII, and other members of the royal fam
lily; In feet, the King is numbered among its
ex-presidents, serving during the year 1885,
when he was Prince of Wales. Among the
other ex-presidents are dukes, earls. lord
mayors, members of Parliament and ia
nous writer's, Charles Dickens serving two
terms.
The objects of the Printers Corporation
now comprise relief by way of life pensions
to aged and infirm printers and widows
at Wood Greenland the maintenance and
education of orphan children. The success
attending the work is shown by the fact
that during the last year upwards of $4,000
was dispensed i'm pensions among 252 pen
sioners.
An important feature in the management
is the regulation which requires a compare
lively nominal contribution as a qualifica-
ton on the part of all who are to become
recipients of the benefits conferred by the
institution.
One of the pensions i'm the corporation is
known as the Benjamin Franklin corpora
ton, and w. Hugh Spottiswoode. president
of the institution, is at present in this coun-
try soliciting to augment this fund. Con-
tributions may be addressed to President
Spottiswoode at S-f1 East Eighteenth
street. New York.
Perhaps 1t is not generally Known that
Benjamin Franklin worked as compositor
and pressman I'm England in 1725-6. The
actual hand press at which he worked was
preserved in England until 1871, despite
many efforts to get ii by Americans. In
that year the press was handed over to an
American visitor with a free hand to pre-
sent 1T 70 the American Nation as he should
expressed a hope. which was cordially re-
ciprocated, that some form OF subscription
might be organized in America for the
foundation of special Benjamin Franklin
pension, to be devoted to the less fortunate
members of the printing trade in England.
to which any citizen of the United States
would naturally have first nomination.
The recipient of the press exhibited il in
Liverpool before it was shipped. and about
$500 of $500 required to found a PEN
sion of $3.50 a week was subscribed In Eng
land. The press was handed over to the
United States Patent Office In 1912. and in
1883 was transferred to the National Mu-
scum in Washington. There, however, the
matter seems to have dropped, and Ii Is for
the reason OF soliciting funds to augment
the Franklin fund that President Spottis-
woode is now in this country.
