Endowment Campaign in
Alma Last Week Gave
Start TO Committee.
WORK WILL Be CONTINUED
A Number Here Who Did Not
Aid Will BE Interviewed and
Asked TO Give Help.

The Alma college campaign IN the
city of Alma last week TO start the
100000 dollar endowment campaign,
was highly successful, if one is TO
nudge success on the matter Of past
performances Of those seeking TO
raise money in Alma Approximately
$4,000 90 was raised here during the
week
Just how successful the campaign
was, cannot be told without going
hack couple Of years, to the days
when the board Of trade was seeking
20 raise $l2,0O000 for the Republic
Motor Truck company At that time
il was with difficulty that this sum
was raised, and when the Alma col
lege campaign was inaugurated with
the intention of securing $50 100000 IN
Alma. people were amazed that IT
should be thought possible TO raise
even one-fourth Of that sum in less
than a weeks time.
Less than a week, however, saw
President Harry Means Crooks and
his small army of tireless workers,
bringing in subscriptions which in
dicate that Alma people were very
much alive TO the needs of the rap
idly growing Presbyterian college
here Not only that but it shows con-
clusively that Alma people are in
tensely alive TO the benefits that are
tc be derived from such an institu-
ton as Alma college and to the larger
and fuller measure of benefits which
are to come from a bigger and more
influential Alma college.
The number Of people that aided in
the campaign. in the working and in
the giving, S. surprising Everyone
seemed 10 be working for Alma col
lege last week, an indication of a
community spirit, that cannot be heat
an anywhere in the state.
1t is expected that number here,
who have not contributed, will yet
add their part 10 the large sum which
has already been raised and it would
not be at all surprising If another
100000 was raised in Alma before
commencement day
