At the University,

For several years there has been
on foot movement to build a Mems
Building at the State University as
tribute to the great work of DIR.
Cyrus Northrop. The work has
been in the hands of committees for
some time and it now appears that
their efforts will be crowned with
success. The Minneapolis Com
mercial Club has taken the matter
in hand and has agreed to raise a
sum of not less than $4,000 and
Gov. Eberhart has pledged $4,000
for st. Paul. The committee of the
Mems Union, an association which
has the matter in hand, expect Du-
luth to contribute, with the aid of
the range, $4,000 and the other
smaller cities about $4,000. The
students already have a fund of
between $4,000 and $4,000 as a re-
suit of personal contributions from
the student body and faculty and
the proceeds of their various func-
tons. The building is one greatly
needed at the University and the
Alumni and friends all join in hear
ty congratulations upon the success
of the enterprise.

Concerning this, desire to in
form the public that this man is an
imposter and fraudulently using

any other duty in Minnesota, the
Dakotas or Northern Wisconsin.
There is no officer named "Geitt-

In view OF the fact that the above
mentioned impersonator is fraud,
1 desire to caution the public not to
extend any credit to or enter into
any contract with this person, as
such action would inevitably result
in loss to the victim.
All newspapers and periodicals
