Celebrated College.

relates to the intellectual and moral
welfare OF our young women. To
furnish them an environment. in
which they can be trained and de-
veloped for high and efficient ser
vice, has been the great and con-
slant aim of our citizens, and to
this end they have ever been will
ing to conSecrate their money and
energy.
Hundreds of the leading citizens
OF the State are alarmed at the
crisis now confronting Goucher Col
lege, Baltimore, and at the posi-
bility of losing this imperial insti-
tuition. which, like beacon, for a
quarter OF a century has been send
ing out its illuminating rays into
every section of our country. This
College, in the thoroughness OF its
work and in point of efficiency, has
no superior in this country. Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson showed his
faith in the school by sending two
OF his daughters here for their
college training.
The other day Bishop Lewis, Of
the NJ E. Church, received a letter
from the President, in which he
said:
"The cause of the College is very
near my heart. Through my two
daughters, who had the privilege OF
attending it, 1 feel as if l myself
had personal Identification with
it. Its work has been admirable,
it's record most enviable. and
should deem it a great loss to the
cause of education if it should be
necessary to close the College, as
well as a singular reflection upon
the thoughtful givers of money in
this country, that it should be
Obliged to close its doors for lack
of funds. l want to join with you
in urging the liberal people OF the
country to come to the rescue OF
this admirable institution"
Hundreds OF our leading citizens.
without regard to creed, are rally
ing to the support of the school.
Men and women in all walks OF
life are saying, "Goucher College
must be saved" and if the masses
will give what they can, whether it
be little or much, we confidently
believe the threatening disaster can
be averted and the College can be
saved to the State.
A letter has just been received
from Governor Goldsborough, who
is Chairman of the State Committee
manifesting the deepest interest in
the movement, promising to help
in every possible way, and express
ing the hope that our people will
lend a helping hand.
That the subject may be thorough
ly canvassed, and that there may
be concert of action, all citizens OF
Cambridge and vicinity, who are in
terested in the cause Of Christian
Education, were requested to meet
at Zion M. E. Church this monr-
ing, March "a, at 10 O'Clock, at
which time DR.. Race, President OF
the West Virginia Wesleyan College,
and DR.. Charles w. Baldwin, OF
Baltimore, will make addresses.
Such an occasion and such distln-
guished visitors should bring to-
gether a large number of our rep
resentative citizens.

My Dear DR.. Wyatt:
l have been advised that it is
the purpose Of those having in
charge the raising of a fund to in
sure keeping Goucher College in
Baltimore, that on Sunday, March
80, 1913-during your absence at
Observation-Disclosures has been
made for the use of Zion Church,
at which time DR.. Race, president
OF the West Virginia Wesleyan Col
lege, and Dr. Charles w. Baldwin,
of Baltimore, will make addresses
in behalf of the purpose above al
luded to. 1t is not the intention,
primarially, to make subscriptions
or collections, but to give informa-
keeping Goucher College in Mary
land; an institution that has done
so much for (and will continue to
do IT'D the educational life OF the
State of Maryland, and those States
surrounding her 1 further under
stand that this College ranks fore
most in the United States for the
work which it has done, and that
the enrolment of students during
the present year exceeds that OF
any previous year. To lose this
College in Maryland would be a
most appalling danger, and, there
fore, it is the duty of our people to
help in every way that we can to
keep this College within our midst.
l heartily approve OF the plans Of
the proposed meeting at Zion
Church on March 80, next, and l
shall be glad to cooperate in any
possible way towards making the
meeting a success. Therefore, l
shall be glad if you will command
me for any service which 1 may be
capable of performing.
