President BontwriEht's Statement.
"The public is responding most
generously" said Dr. Boatwright at
this Christmas season II would seem
most pitifui that any deserving young
man who has made sacrifices to at
tend college-possibly to enter the
yninistry-should have to abandon his
hopes and career through the loss Of
books and clothes, costing in the ag-
gregate but a few thousand dollars
Some of the students have means of
their own, BY no means are all desti-
tute Others have friends or rela-
tives who ~iH see them through. If
VIC can raise as much as $4,000 IN ready
money at once, and make II available
In the next day or two, | do not think
II Will be necessary for any man to
leave college for lack of clothes or
text books That amount would cover
the loss to those students who prob
ably could not afford to assume 1t
themselves. From expressions from
many friends of the institution. ] be-

the circumstances 4: Will be of double
value IL done promptly"
