Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-13


night that the final steps have been
taken by the permanent board Of trus-
tees in the matter of location for the
woman's college. 1t has been an open
secret for many weeks that what Is
known as the Dorsey tract was to get
the prize, the final announcement pc
ing delayed from time to time In the
hope that further donations Of adj
iacent property would be made The
trustees of the projected institution
now have a magnificent site OF l5i
acres, lying northeast of the city but
convenient of access, bounded on the
west by Allen avenue and on the east
by the famous Pepper drive. 1t is stu
believed that more land can be secured
i'm the neighborhood Of the tract for
the use of the institution, but the trus-
tees are not working for this at pres
ent but are looking after the raising
of the great endowment fund and the
money needed to erect the necessary
buildings on the present site. IL Is said
that over 1000 is already in sight
right in Los Angeles as a nest egg for
these funds. The trustees firmly be-
ieve that the citizens of Southern
California will respond literally to-
their call for help in building and sup
porting the proposed institution.
