KENDALL RAISES
A HALF MILLION
Endowment Campaign for Col
lege Closes in Blaze OF
Glory; $25 to Spare.
NOW FOR ANOTHER $500,000
Tulsa Having Done Its Share,
Activity Will Be Extended
Over Entire Nation.

Where Henry Kendall college stood
ten days ago, a small school of few
buildings and little endowment, to-
day ii stands an institution with a
magnificent future, on sound basis
and with S50O,025 to spend on new
buildings and Il permanent endow-
ment fund. That was the report OF
the general campaign committee and
the workers who conducted the cam
Spaign in Tulsa for a half million in
1.-THE past ten days.
J The goal has been reached.
This report was made at the formal
closing of the campaign at the Hotel
Tulsa last night, when a dinner was
served to the workers in the private
dining room of the hostelry. At this
time it was declared that now the
campaign will be carried to other
parts of the state and to the nation
to raise another 100000.
A Million Before 1913.
In connection with this it was de-
clared by DR.. James II. Clarke of
Nashville, Tenn, secretary to the
Presbyterian college board, New York,
that to challenge the balance of Ok
lahoma to do its duty toward Chris
tian education, man who already
has given literally to the funds has
offered an additional $4,000 to the
endowment and building fund If the
college directors will secure another
$450,000 over the state and nation be-
fore January /, 1918.
One of the conditions of this $50.-
900 pledge was that Tulsa should do
its share in raising the half million
before March Is. This already has
been accomplished and the campaign
Of raising the other half million in
a similar manner.
l. A Tulsa Campaign.
One of the most remarkable points
about the campaign in Tulsa in the
past ten days was that it has heen
conducted wholly by men of this city.
No outside assistance has been sought.
The campaign was conducted by Tul-
sans and carried to a successful con-
clusion by Tulsans.
In the final report made by the gen.
eral campaign committee 1t was de-
clared that practically the entire
amount secured in the campaign here
was donated by about 225 men. Hun
dreds of men who were listed to give
to the fund were still on the uiiheard
from list. On the strength of promises
made by many Of the prominent oil
men OF tne CITY VINO nave Deen taken
away during the campaign much Of
the last report made by the general
committee was based. Something like
a. CT these men have indicated by
letter or in some other manner that
they would give to the cause. Their
pledges have not been signed, but the
members Of the committee took the
stand that their word was as good as
their bond and made their reports &C.
cordingly. 1t is considered likely that
the returns from these will send the
fund even higher as later pledges are
