The loss of the Proctor half million
means the withdrawal of almost

eating nearly 100000 were condi-
toned on the Proctor donation. The
withdrawal by Mr.. Proctor is attri-
buted to a difference between Wood

sity, and Mr.. Proctor and the gradu-
ate school committee of the univer-

over the matter of a site for the pro-

have wanted it placed on the golf
