A story is in circulation today to the
effect that when Greater Whitman is

will be known as Baker hall, in honor
Of the pioneer who did so much toward

ter has been discussed but little. but
those who have talked over the plan
are agreed that such a recognition of
the services of Dorsey S. Baker would
be eminently fitting.
1t was learned today that the sub
scriptions of the various members of
the Baker family would probably be
grouped together and be entered on the
records of the college as one lump
subscription, totalling practically $50
900. Those financially Interested in
the Baker estate. who have contributed
to the Greater Whitman endowment
are Mrs. Baker, w. w. Baker Ht> y
