Practical Plan That Furnishes Oppor-
tunity For Institutions Friends.

In the last issue of the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian. published at Due
West. appeared the following article
written by De. ]. l. Mccain.
The recent meeting of the alumni
and other students of Erskine col
lege was one of the best ever held. Al
that meeting a movement was set on
foot that promises two of the most I'M
portant things that any college needs.
1t means. in the first place. the closer
organization of all the former stu
dents and friends of Erskine college.
1t means. in the second place, the ac-
tive cooperation of all these friends III
promoting the welfare OF the coliese
in every legitimate way.
The following items as expressed Dy
Mr.. w. +. Roddey, the prime mover OF
the plan. will give a definite idea OF
what is proposed by the organization
of the society: .,
al Aid Society
. Object: To promote the interest
of Erskine college with special ref
erence to aiding young men in secuf-
ing education at Erskine by the loan
of funds at five per cent interest.
g The society is to cooperate Win
the faculty and the board of trustees
of Erskine college with the view oi
promoting the interests OF the collese
in every legitimate way. ,,.
4. Preference in loans Is TO De CIV
en- to candidates for the mlnislIE'
Membership: All friends OF Ers-
r;na college are entitled to memper-
chin nv the payment of annual uues
of s10 for men and SIS for women.
The society shall be under tne
e,overnment of a board or dlrectoIs
eIacted by the members, and a sultaple
cbarter shall be obtained from the
state. .+ ooa who
ioins the association obligates hliiIset a.
or herself for only one yeaI aoew
hoped. however, that all Will Ienem
their membership, but this matter Is
left to each member to decide.
As is easily seen, the plan asks pus
very little of any one; but when All
the Titles are put together tney mean mean
nnnch for the college and much 1or
the worthy young men VINO are eaSe
for an education, but nave not 'iie
means to get it. With TINS Plan -
operation no young man OF youns tSor, ~
man will be deprived of an education
for lack of funds. What a benencent
work II is thus to open the doorway
of opportunity to worthy young men
and worthy young women! surely
every friend Of the college-shoulo l
rather not say every friend of young
men and women?-willb be glad 10 TAKE
part in so fine a work.
might say that number OF 1rlenus
have taken memorial memberships
that is. memberships in honor OF SONS,
fathers, or friends, who were foriner
students or friends of the college: Dr,
r w. Pressly very finely said: II my
father were living, his name could not
be kept off that list, and l don't tnlhh
II ought to be kept off now Are there
not many who would like thus to non
or the memory of son or brother OF
father? / think there must be many
such. ,,. -,
Let all who are willing to help on
this fine movement send in their names
at once. The first membership FEE Will
be due August 1st. 1t might De Wen
for me TO add that no salary VIII oe
paid for the management OF the socl-
ety. The work is all done free or charge
so that all that is given In the way OF
aid is used directly for that purpose
Mr.. w. ]. Roddey who is one OF the
most intelligent and successful pusi.
ness men in this country, gives free OF
all charge the benefit Of his fine ousl-
ness Judgment, which is a guarantee
that all funds will be used to the very
best advantage. Join the society. send
i'm your name NOW. send the fee by the
first of August, and you will feel good
over it for year.
