The boarding house keepers need
not fear that this will take boarders
away from them, for the more the
university prospers the more tour
lists and home seekers will come,
and SO the more business they will
have.
1t will be observed that people
living outside of Our town are con
tributing to enterprises within the
town. 1t is only proper, therefore,
that those who live in the town
should do something themselves.
An opportunity will be given TO
every citizen to help in this good
work. No ones gift is too small,
if it is the best he can do. 1t is too
small if ne can do better and If he
ought to do better, The love of
every citizen for the university, tor
it's success and prosperity, for its
honor and effectiveness is better
asset than money, frequently; and
in addition to the gifts in money
that DcLand citizens may feel con
strained to give, they are earnestly
asked first of ALTO give them
selves in loyalty and in love to the
university and to the ideals for
which it stands.
