$16,5OO,O SOUGHT
IN EDUCATION FIELD
Harvard and Princeton Univer-
sites and Pennsylvania State
College Start Campaigns

Campaigns to obtain total of sG6,5OO,-
600 have been started simultaneously by
Harvard and Princeton Universities and the
Pennsylvania state College, and friends
and alumni Of these institutions in this city
have already received pleas for assistance
in the work.
Princeton is seeking S3,OO0,OOO for an
endowment fund for professors salaries
and the purchase of books for the university
library, President Hibhen, in his annual re-
port, called attention to the fact that mem
bers of the faculty had been affected by the
high cost of living and that the increase in
salaries which men in business had received
were needed to the same extent by workers
in the educational world.
The state College Is seeking n S3,500, 900
appropriation at tho IreXt session of the
Legislature. This institution is n purely
public one and depends upon the State Gov
ernment for its support. The fact that 5000
students are now studying there free of
tuition, will be impressed upon members of
the Legislature when State College makes
It's application for adequate funds.
Philadelphia alumni of Harvard are in
terested in the countrywide campaign to
raise $40 600 900 as a permanent endowment
for the University. Plans for the move
ment have been announced by Thomas w
Lamont, Of the class of 1892, and member
Of the firm of j. =. Morgan e. Co. Mr.
Lamont is chairman of the committee that
will conduct the campaign. 1t is the in
tentlon of the committee to reach every one
Of the 10000 living alumni, Harvard's
campaign will probably be the most ex-
tensive ever undertaken by any educational
Institution
Although the actual solicitation has not
yet been undertaken either by Harvard or
Princeton, a large number of Philadelphlans
are actively engaged in the work Generous
contributions are expected from several
wealthy residents of this city. The Har-
ward and Princeton Clubs of Philadelphia
Will take leading part in the campaigns
OF the two universities.
The number of graduates of the Pennsyl-
yania State College in this city is also
large The success which many of them
have attained in their professions will be
used as an argument for a liberal appro-
prlation from the Legislature. The enroll
ment at State In 1900 was 354 and the
student body is now about ten times as
great.

CLUELESS
IN SEARCH FOR
THOMPSONG GIRL

Although thirty days have pass
ed since fifteen .year-old Marjorie
Thompson disappeared from her home
Is Grant place northwest, the police
and other agencies searching for her
today are without a single reliable
clue to her whereabouts.
The latest clue, furnished by q
New York woman, who wrote that she
saw a girl answering Marjorie's de-
scription at a working girls home,
has been abandoned.
The New York police traced the In
formation, and have informed Major
Pullman that they are satisfied that
the girl who stayed one night at the
working girls home was not Mar
3orie, in spite of the fact that this
girl talked OF having left home to
go in the movies.
Mrs. Marie H. Thompson, the moth
er, is convinced that Marjorie would
not willingly remain away from home
this long.

ther searching trips at this time, !"
said Mrs. Thompson today, "for I do
not know where to turn"
