women OF Annapolis, nefd IN the EA-
ecutive Chamber, State House on
Monday afternoon. March 81, the un-
dersigned were name a committee to
issue an appeal to the residents of
Annapolis and its vicinity for funds
TO aid Goucher College:
Heroic efforts are being made 10
save this College from the impending
disaster which new threatens it, for
unless an endowment fund of one
million dollars be raised by April 4,
'I3, of which sum 1858, 900 has al
ready been pledged, leaving a balance
to be obtained of sl37,00, this most
excellent institution of learning will
be lost to Maryland
State pride should urge US to great
activity in our efforts to help raise
this fund. Indeed it would be a
great calamity an act of shame to
all Marylanders--if this College
should be carried beyond the borders
of the State.
"Do you know that Goucher''is one
College for Women below Mason and
Dixon's Line listed by the National
Government as belonging to Glass A?
''Do you know that there are now
1913 Maryland women in this College,
and that they cost the College over
$40, 900 annually, more cor tuition ex-
penses than is received from them?
DO you know that the other five
leading colleges for women in this
nation are literally endowed?
"Goucher is not. That is why il
needs money. 1t is the answer to
the statement made by some: I'VE
have already helped this College"
"An institution Of learning that is
doing things; always helping others,
needs itself to be helped.
The statement has been msde, but
in no unkind spirit, that Annap Ills,
the Capital City, is giving but little
help this College.
"Let US show that we ahundantly
possess both State and municipal
pride, and are glad of an opportunity
to lend helping hand.
THE Maryland Legislature has
never appropriated dollar to this
College--a College to help women.
Now let the men of Annapolis show
their desire to aid the women of
Maryland by responding to this appe al
for funds, and let the women show
their loyalty to the College and their
fellow-women by aiding this most just
cause.
Contributions are payable in equal
instalments--on each year for three
years, or semi-annual payments may
be made. Thus, one who subscribes
$50 has three years in which to pay
it, at the rate of $16.67 year. And
so it is with large or small amounts,
as you feel justified in giving. 1t
matters not how small or large the
subscription, it will be gladly re-
ceived.
"Will you help save Goucher. "You
and the rest of US can do it. The
rest cant We need your subscrip-
tion now.
Subscription will be received at the
Evening Capital office, the Farmers
National Bank, Mr.. T.. Kent Green's
