All former students OF the Coli

work to be considered is the RaIt
Orange County shall take in raising
"The McIver Loan Fund" This is
a matter which should prove Of vital
interest to every thoughtful man and
womsn Of the com munity, as the
money given IN Orange will be
loaned only to young women from
this county, and we hope that many
will show their Interest by attend.
ing this meeting. j
The McIver Loan Fund Is raised
as a memorial to the late DR. Charles
D McIver, and. as its name implies,
is to be used as q fund IRON which
young women may borrow money
20 complete their education. Thus,
in the name OF that man who has
done most for the womanhood OF
North Carolina, are the alumnD st
his college making it possible fof
other young women to be better
prepared tor life. The majority or
these women become teachers, SO it
is impossible 10 measure the amount
of good. accomplished by snch q
fund. Furthermore, as this is d loan
fund, even the small fund invested
will grow into lager sums of use
fuluese, for as 1t is returned. the
money will be used over and over
again.
} So practical is This idea of "The

! oeived with enthusiasm and hearty
endorsement. :
