THE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
MEMORIAL FUND.


NAL and Industrial Institute met at
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Monday,
December 18th, and decided to make
an effort to raise Two Million Dollars,
to be known as "The Booker T. Wash
ington Memorial Fund of Two Million
Dollars" in memory of the late DR..
Booker T. Washington The state
ment of the Board as issued by Hon.
Seth Low, Chairman, follows:
Tusl1egee Institute is Booker T.
Washington's monument and his
most fitting memorial is the perpetual
ton of its great work for the benefit
of the colored people and for the pro-
motion of hal 4ful feladon9 DetWeen
the races The gap at present exist
ing between the ordinary income of
the Institute and it's annual outgo is
approximately $150,000. 1t is not de-
sired to close this gap so completely
as to make the Institute independent
of the interest and support of the liv-
ing, but it is desired to reduce this
gap to manageable proportions.
The trustees therefore propose to
invite subscriptions to THE BOOKER
IT WASHINGTON MEMORIAL
FUND OF TWO MILLION (s2,OOO,-
900 DOLLARS for the continuance of
the Institute and of the work for the
Negro race which centers there.
1t is hoped and expected that $780,
900 of this sum will be given by
Negroes, out of which fund a suitable
memorial for Booker T. Washington
will be erected on the grounds of
the Institute.
The trustees have already received
subscriptions of more than $3.50, 1000,
some of which, but not all, are con-
ditional upon larger sums being
raised. The Negroes may, therefore,
feel that every dollar they give will
be met more than dollar for dollar by
gifts from white people
The Fund to be invited from the
Negro people will be managed from
Tuskegee Institute and will be under
the charge of Emmett J. Scott, Secre-
tary of the Institute.
Other subscriptions to the Memorial
Fund should be sent to William G..
Wilcox, Treasurer of the Investment
Committee, South William Street,
Treasurer of the Institute, Tuskegee
Institute, Alabama.
