part Of Principal Brooks and others
are acquainting the students with

attitude is gratifyingly responsive,
Colleges and schools everywhere are
responding splendidly TO the challenge
of the hour for sacrifice and duty in
the great humanitarian endeavor that
today is making such demands upon
every man, woman and youth in
America who possesses conscience and

We feel sure that Burr and Burton
will rise TO the occasion and that the
student body and faculty will acquit
themselves worthily once they realize
their responsibility. Arrangements
have been made TO have a special

land, address the students, Saturday
afternoon of this week, when they
hold their mass meeting for raising
their part of this important fund.
Other speakers will cooperate on this
occasion and pledge cards will be dis
tributed. We are confident that teach
ers and students will do their bit and
that not little bit on this occasion
