ASKS FOR DOLLAR
FROMEACH Smith
Miss Marjorie Odell Threat
ems to Call on All Smiths
in Delaware
HEADS CAMPAIGN
TO HELP COLLEGE

How many Smiths are there in Della
wareS Such is the question Miss Mar
Jorie Odell. of No. Red Oak Road,
has set out TO solve in the interest OF
Smith College, at Northampton, Mass.
OF which she is a graduate. Smith is
the largest college for women in the
country, and 1900 Of its alumnae have
tackled the problem OF taking The myth
out Of Smith.
The myth is that the name OF Smith
Is a common. ordinary, everyday, cog
nomen. That myth, according to Smith
women, is entirely without foundation.
Smith is an uncommOnly distinguished
name. they hold, and they are going 10
try TO convince the nation that Smith
must be spelled with a capital IS" and
is possible. with a capital g." reading
Smith"
Il know there are a whole lot OF
Smiths In Delaware" said Miss Odell
who is IN charge OF the Smith College
campaign In Delaware. ~ know, too.
ills going 10 be some task 10 find them
But I'm going 10 try 10 have each
one contribute a dollar 20 Smith Col
lege"
you see, II Is this way. We believe
the Smiths 10 be sort OF chosen peo-
pie, otherwise there wouldn't be so
many OF them. They are pretty good
sort OF folks. What space they do not
take up In the directories and telephone
books, they generously permit the rest
OF the human family TO flll in. And the
Social Register, and the Society Blue
Book-why. the Smiths just lord II all
over the rest OF us.
Now the Smiths. OF Delaware, can
do a lot 10 help Smith College. They
can enclose a dollar bill to me. The
dollar is an initiation fee for member
ship in the Smith College Clan-greatest
in the world-and incidentally aid the
college. II the Smiths don't send a
dollar 10 me I'll have to call on them TO
ask for II. and that's a big task"
Miss 0dell is bubbling over with en-
thusiasm and 10y and energy at the
prospects afforded by her taks In Della
ware.
As Miss odell explained the Smith
registration today, the simple fact Is
that Smith College needs s40O0,0O0 to
keep its staff OF professors intact and
to continue 10 hold its proud position
Alice Lord Parsons has organized a ma
tlonal committee to solicit four mil
Ion one-dollar bills from the Smiths Of
the nation. Statistics show there are
more than a million Smiths in the
country, so some Of the family shall
have to come across with few bits
more than the amount asked 10 make
up any deficiency on the basis Of
dollar each"
Is your name Smith--or just Smith
Miss Odell asks OF the thousands OF
Smiths in Delaware.
