FARGO COLLEGE
TO INACCURATE
Big CAMP Align
Board of Trustees and In
corporators Will Try to
Raise 100000
Is CONTINUANCE
OF 1913 PROGRAM
Rockefeller Board Expect
ed to Contribute When
100000 Raised

Fargo college wlll launch a cam
paisn to raise 100000 or more at
once.
The campaign will be a continu-
ance OF the one instituted in 1918.
This action was decided at a meet
ing OF the board OF incorporators
and the board of trustees, after every
objection that could possibly be rails
ed was heard, and every phase of the
situation confronting the college had
received thorough consideration.
According to announcement made
this afternoon the status and condt-
ton of the collegge has been placed
before the Rockefeller board and
there is every reason to believe that
the board will contribute 100000 as
soon as 100000 OF the 100000
endowment fund has been raised.
The college has issued the follow
ing statements
"At a recent meeting of the board
OF incorporators and the board Of
trustees of Fargo college 1t was
decided to conduct a financial cam
paign to raise 100000 or more. It
was thought best to inaugurate the
campaign Immediately. This action
was taken in the belief that when
the public was aroused to the crucial
conditions which now confront the
college the campaign would receive
the hearty endorsement and enthusi-
astic support of the leading men and
women of Fargo.
"The trustees and citizens of Fargo
and the Mid North Land upon whom
the responsibility for Fargo college
rests should hold II as a patriotic
duty to respond to the call of Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary of War Baker,
Commissioner of Education Claxton
and other departments Of our gov
eminent to keep the colleges of the
land open and the students rank
filed during the years OF the war.
AS a man OF prominence in our city
said recently the learning Of Europe
is either in the trenches or the grave.
Intellectual development will be at a
higher premium after this great
world conflict than ever before. We
must succeed in this campaign here
for nothing less than this will meet
the needs Of the college In the I'M
usual and unlocked for emergency
which is largely the result OF condi-
tions brought on by the war
Carries Out Old Program.
1.-THE board did not decide upon
the campaign until after every ob1ec-
ton that could possibly be raised
and every phase of the situation
confronting the college had received
most thorough consideration. This
latest effort is in reality the carry
ing out OF the program which was
instituted as long ago as the year
1918, At that time the most promin-
emit citizens of Fargo adopted resolu-
tions which would provide for the
paying off of the debt which then
rested on the college and which
amounted to $4,000 II was also
decided at that time to provide funds
that would care for the current ex-
penses, to secure permanent endow-
ment, to elect an endowment board
