But it is to just such discoveries

and medical science in particular, are
the most intensely practical things

to the patient research and the quiet

Administration Building at Brevard.

When / wrote my appeal some time

subscription and the faculty of the
school becomes responsible for $4,000
and the pupils $25O.00.

authorize the work to be done at a
cost of $35, 100000 instead of SIS, 00O. 90,
