"GREATERCOLLEGE"
IS GIVEN HEARING
BAPTIST ASSOCIATION GETS RE-
PORT ON INSTITUTION OF
LEARNING.

PETERSBURG, VA, Nov. Is
Greater Richmond College had the
floor for a great part of the time
at taday's sessions of the Baptist gem
eral association. especially in the af-
ternoon, when an hour and a half
was given to President Boatwright,
the endowment committee, and others
for the discussion of the work of
the college, the progress made to-
ward securing its half million dol
lar endowment and an outline of what
remains to be done.
The reports were optimistic and the
entire convention became imbued
with the belief that by next April the
money would be collected and at no
distant date a great college for men
and women would be doing its WORK
at Westhanipton, near Richmond.
The .canipaign committee and the
committee on new buildings OF Great
err Rich ,nond College. extended the
members of the association an In
,itation to visit the site Of the new
college at Westhampton tomorrow
afternoon from $3.50 to S O'CLOCK. pre-
grounds 81 buildings and informa-
ton as &c he schedule of the electric
cars of =. Westhampton line. 1t
Is expected that many Of the dele
gates will teke advantage of the half
holiday tomorrow afternoon to visit
the new sill. OF the college in which
all of them take so much interest
and about which they heard 30 much
today.
At this mornings session the re-
port Of the educational commission
recommended that the Baptist Church
arrange to provide funds with which
to aid in the preparation OF students
for the college; as many can not en-
ter the college since the entrance re-
quirements have been raised. This
afternoon the report of Chairman
Boatwright, Of the campaign comnit-
tee, was read and discussed.
President Boatwright's report
showed that during the last twelve
months $2s.1S3.34 has been collected
In cash on Virginia pledges, making
a total Of about $224.000 since 1908.
From the general education board OF
New York was collected last year wv
ia and the committee IL entitled to
! tb.tta additional from the hoard by
virtue of Its collection on subscrip-
tions, making total OF $43.ss0 col
ieeted during the last twelve months.
The total collected to date on Vlr-
ginia and New York pledges and from
the education board Of New York
is ss1S,si4. leaving 312S,32S to be
collected between this date and April
Ist. All Of this has been subscribed.
but II is intended that about $4,000
additional be raised by subscription
to cover the inevitable shrinkage In
