 Letter to Committeeman
 w. F. Vandiver. chairman of the Central Committee, has addressed tc the various members of the commit tee, the following letter, making a strong appeal for vigorous work on the part of the committeeman:
 Montgomery, Ala, April IF, 1901 Dear Sir.
 You are hereby appointed on the committee to secure subscriptions to the fund of s50,o00. which amount has been guaranteed by the Commercial the location of the Methodist College for Montgomery.
 Tt is hardly necessary Cor me to go into the detailed benefits which the location of this college will bring to Montgomery, as well as this entire community. You are thoroughly con- versant with. and appreciate. the fact that the establishment within our midst of an institution of learning of as high character as this is to be. means a great deal for the religious, moral and intellectual atmosphere of our community. and Montgomery should congratulate herself upon se- curing this exceptional opportunity. and respond promptly and literally to the ctll that Is now being made. The gathering together of from four to six hundred of the highest type of our Southern young womanhood with In our city presents itself not alone from a religious and educational SldIupOlHt, put lTOHn q COHbIncTCldi standpoint as well. We believe that the conditions upon which Montgomery can secure this college are exec eding- ly liberal, In view of the many bene- fits flowing from such an institution.
 "The Commercial Club of Mont gomery, required at the hands of the Methodist people of Montgomery. that they should raise $30.000 of the re- qulred S50.000. The work was be- gun along those lines, and we are glad to know that they met with very satisfactory results. and there is no question but what they will very soon report that their proportion of the total amount has been pledged. It is, therefore, now up to the Commer- cial Club to secure subscriptions for the remaining $s0. .000 and that Is the purpose of the committees Eow being appointed. We believe the situation presents itself to you in such forcibIe manner that your plans for solicitation may be easily outlined and executed without any suggestions from the Central Committee. However, as chair man of that committee, wish to as- sure each member of your committed, that the Central Committee stands ready, at all dimes, to render any aid possible.
 ''The principal thing to be consid- cred is promptness. For many reasons this matter has been delayed longer than it should have been, and now that the Conference Commission will soon be in Montgomery for a final answer to their proposition, 1t hehooves us to go into the matter with enthusiasm and
