It will be matter OF much graft
fieation to the friends Of jamestown
College, not only in this city and
county, but throughout the state, to
!earn that a resident of Courtenay.
sStutsman county, MIR. G. A. Sanford,
mas given to the trustees, thru Presi-
dent Kroeze, a gift of real estate
which is valued at from $4,000 to
$4,000. The deed has been received
by the trusees, and duly recorded.
The value of the land is unques-
tionably equal to the above amount.
1t is located in this county, and the
proceeds of this splendid bequest
will be applied towards the erection
a new girls dormitory and music
hall, the first new building which
will be erected on the jamestown
College grounds.
This gift of Prof. Sanford is uncon-
ditioned, it is an absolute gift to the
college, and it comes at time when
it is greatly needed and highly appre-
ciated by, the faculty and trustees.
This gift will be applied to the erec-
tion, as above stated, of the new dor
mitory building, to complete which
will require an outlay of $4,000.
The gift of Prof. Sanford will go a
long way towards the erection of this
new and sadly needed structure, and
will no doubt stimulate the pride and
interest of Jamestown citizens, in adj
ding contributions sufficient to COM
plete the sum needed for that build
ing. President Kroeze is now TAX
ing up this matter with jamestown
people, and it is understood finds
very encouraging prospect;
This gift Prof. Sanford of Courten-
ay, is a splendid supplemental be-
quest to the gifts of Henry B. Allen
of jamestown, which have already
been noted, but perhaps not general
understood throughout the state
Mr.. Aliens liberality has been prompt
and his gifts have been of such ma
ture as to be most important for the
future of the institution at its very
start. MIR. Allen has given in property
and money to Jamestown College,
within the last year gifts amounting
to nearly $4,000. Among these
gifts have been a contribution to the
repair fund of the college building
amounting to $500; subsequently he
acquired title to the 80 acres ad-
Joining the campus on the north, for
the benefit of the college, and the i'm
portance of this gift can scarcely be
realized, as it furnishes the institu-
ton with a splendid campus for fu-
ture growth for all times. In addi-
ton to this tract of land Mr.. Allen
has given the sum of $1,000 for the
endowment fund.
In addition to these contributions
of Mr.. Allen there have been given
by four jamestown citizens, H. M.
raber, Ben Orlady. John Knauf and
VIM. Kavanagh the sum of $1,000
each as q part Of the endowment
fund.
The above bequests are in addition
to the Arst gift BY one OF Jamesto g
early and honored citizens, Capt.
Samuel X. McGinnis, who donated the
original campus of 27 acres all with
in the city limits of Jamestown.
These splendid contributions from
jamestown and Stutsman county res
idents, show an abiding confidence
in the rapid growth and develop
ment Of the institution. and the fur
ther fact that its permanence and
4 Importance as an institution of learn
ing is now a certainty.
