PUSHING FOR MORE FUNDS

Received in Soliciting Funds
for Memorial Hall.

"Ihe Field Secretary, Rev. c. V.
Gilliland, since his arrival i'm Novem-
Der, has been pushing the canvass for
the SO 600 needed for Century Me-
mortal Hall with vigor,'' said Dr.
Nicholson in speaking OF the needs
OF the new building. .sMany of the
charges nave responded nobly. The
college management has been greatly
pleased With the spirit of loyalty and
interest shown throughout the con-
terence. Even in charges where
church debts we're eing paid or new
chulcn buildings were being con-
strncted or local enterprises were
absorbing the financial strength Of
the people. all responded with some
collection and have left the way open
to complete their assessment at some
future time. We express our most
cordial thanks to pastors and people
for their loyalty ard generosity
The pressing necessity for the
erection of this new building is shown
by the fact that from the very first
1T has been substantially filled. At
no time during the college year have
there been more than three or four
vacant rooms. In the fall term,
while we were compelled to continue
the dining hall in the main college
building, we were unable to accom-
modate all the students who wished
board. With the removal to the new
dining ball at the beginning of the
year, we were surprised to find that
it was used almost to its fullest ca
Eacity. There have been 142 board
ers, besides a number who came in
for dinner only, and occasional Wis
ltors. This is about all we can &C
commodate. Another new building
will be a necessity in the very near
future. This ought to be a source of
great qualification to the friends of
the institution"
