THE Penn VOLUNTEERS.
Second Meeting Was a Hummer
Despite the bot Weather.

The second volunteer meeting for
workers for the Penn College Cam
paign was held last evening at the Y.
NJ G. A.. Although the weather was
oppressive there was fairly good
number of determined, hopeful people
present. Everyone realized that to
raise $4,000 Is no child's play and
that a rousing rally of friends OF Penn
\ is the desperate need of the hour
The event of the evening was Presi-
| dent Edwards address. DR. Edwards
had just returned from a trip to east
ern cities in the interests of the cam
| paign. He gave a glowing account of
| his reception by the educators in New
York City, Philadelphia, and other
places, and stated that while the east
was never so rich as ii is now, Penn
! College must look chiefly to her
( Friends in Iowa and that every work
| err of Penn must keep in mind con-
stantly that the raising of 100000 is
a tremendous undertaking. Almost
| the entire amount must come from
the several thousand citizens of the
, city and county Everyone must be
up and doing,-the situation must be
! thoroughly explained TO every pros
pectiye subscriber and all urged to
give as they have never given before
for any object in their lives.
The success of the last campaign
for Penn College was brought about
| through the subscriptions of 400 peo-'
pie and the success of this campaign
must come from the multitude OF To-
vans who win do the very best they
can His talk was inspiring and en-
couraging and he assured every one
present that 1t must be fight to the
finish. ......
Mr., Oppenheimer was the chairman
and spoke briefly and said that the
great need of the campaign would be
a band of resourceful workers, who
must be good diagnosticians and sur
lgeons who could operate successfully
on the pocket books of the citizens of
Oskaloosa. .~..l..t.
Mr. G. w Shockley was called up,
, on to speak Mr.. Shockley reviewed
the situation carefully and based his
hope for the success Of the campaign
on the campaigns held in years gone
by. He recalled that many years ago
when Penn was feeling her way and
required the sum of $4,000 it was
considered a great amount OF money
and it was said by many that it was
impossible to raise the sum, but the
full amount was subscribed on time
/ Afterwards five years ago, when the
needs of Penn were greater, sum OF
$4,000 was required. Again the
ldoubting Thomases said it could not
be done but the amount was freely
and graciously given and the workers
had so good a time in securing sub
Inscriptions that they were loath to quit.
And now this large sum of S400,0Op
can be raised If all believe it and
work for it with mind, strength and
heart.
] An address was also given by Mr.. T
IL. BRAY. He said that Oskaloosa
must get away from the donation idea
: that all monies received for Penn
p were not donations. but investments,
O and that every citizen who invested
would get his moneys worth as there
would be an increase of value in real
estate and the city benefited in every
way.

+. by Prof. Woodford and his pupil, John
q Norman. Prof. Burnett sang two
