YANkToN COLLEGE NEAR
TO MEETING HILLS OFFER

Yankton, s. D., Dec. 24.--Two recent
gifts to the Yankton college endow-
men1 campaign, one Of $1,000 from A.
]. Abbot, Of Bon Homme caunty, and
another OF $4,000 from on eastern
donor brings the total amount thus
far secured UP to nearly $1S0,OO0.
About $4,000 more within the remain
ing days OF the month would make up
the total OF $2OO,0 900 necessary to Sc
cure from James ]. Hill the full $4,000
OF his offer to college. rounding out the
fun $4,000 for increased endowment
Mr.. Abbot's gift Is the second contribu-
ton he has made to this Campaign, the
first one having been for $4,000. given
two years ago to start the campaign.
The $4,000 gift from the eastern donor
has just been secured.
January I, 1915 is the final day OF
settlement between the college and Mr..
Hill. These two recent gifts give re-
newed hope for the success OF the cam
paign. It is quite possible that at the
very close $1,000 can be secured from q
group OF Yanl1ton men on a plan OF
guarantee, provided other contribu-
tons bring the campaign to within
that distance from the goil. In case
this could be done there would be only
about $4,000 needed to bridge the gap.
The college has very thoroughly can
vassed its constituency both in the
state and outside, and to secure even
this amount additional will be diff
cult; yet a strong final appeal Is being
made through bulletins sent out this
week in the hope of interesting givers
who will come to the rescue and help
win the fight. Some gifts in moderate
amounts are being secured in the state.
II only enough of these can be gath
cred in, and along with them little
further help from the east the goal can
be reached There will be no further
extension OF time on the part OF Mr..
Hill.
President Warren has been in the
east for about a month and will remain
in the field there up to the very last,
in daily communication by wire with
the college office at Yanxton with re-
spect to totals and the narrowing gap
between amount secured and the $780,
900 required.
