A large increase in attendance in all

college all by itself. In the Manual

TW0-TH!RDS by"
Twelve Thousand on Stormy
Day for Washburn.
Total Now Is a Little More
Than $4,000.
CHURCH SOCIETY GIVES $500
Second Five Hundred for First
Congregational Women.
One Hundred Out to ROusing
Meeting Today.
CHURCH SOCIETY GIVES $500

It may be necessary for President
Womer and the endowment workers
for Washburn college to call upon the
weather man and persuade him to
bring forth a few reasonably stormy
days-say a little worse than this
morning. For the snow and sleet and
rain made it some day for the Wash
burn endowment campaign. A little
more than $4,000 was the total
pledge announced at the noon meet
ing.
The action of the trustees in under
writing $4,000 of the endowment
fund was decided upon at meeting
of the trustees late yesterday. The
members of the board who signed the
personal contributions, as some OF
them could not afford to give the
proper division. But the trustees Will
get this amount.
The group of women workers head
ed by Mrs. McEachron ran off with
the honors of the workers today when
report of contributions exceeding
81, 100 was turned in. This group is
one of the most consistent groups in
the entire campaign. 1t has been able
every day to report substantial prog
ress in small subscriptions, probably
turning in more pledges than any
other group but for small amounts
in almost every instance.
Loyal Women.
At the meeting today Mrs McEach-
ron reported two gifts of five hundred
dollars each, one from the women of
the First Congregational church and
the other from the Women's Rotary
club. The women of the Congrega-
tional church gave five hundred dol
lars in the former campaign and they
have already paid the pledge and the
new pledge of today is expected to be
paid within the next year. The Wom-
ems Rotary club is the newest organ
ization in the circle of clubs for wom-
en- in Topeka. A club dinner or so
each year taken from the planned
affairs of the club will make up the
contribution to Washburn.
When the rally was called to order
today President Womer said that he
was almost afraid to have the raTy
because of the stormy day and the
fact that many of the best workers
were busy and not able to work. But
the determined spirit of the workers,
as shown by the large number present
today, speaks we'll for the success of
the campaign" said President Womer.
Then he called for the reports and
found it was the biggest day of the
entire campaign and that the total far
exceeded his own expectations and
had gone beyond the halfway mark
with two days more of the week. He
urged that the total for the two weeks
be brought up to two-thirds of the
sixty thousand dollars by the rally
Saturday noon.
