S5,OOO,0O0 DRIVE
FOR GEORGIA TECH
To BEGIN IN APRIL

The ten days between April 20
and April 80, next, now are announc-
ed as the period in which a state
wide campaign is planned in Georgia
to raise s5,OO0,O00 as a fund ade-
quately to equip the Georgia School
of Technology for q service to the
state and to the section that is con-
fidently expected not only to give to
Georgia the economic independence it
should possess, but also to raise the
Empire State of the South to the
very foremost rank among the indus
trial states of the union.
The campaign will place Georgia
Tech before the people of the state
and of the south as Georgia's great
est single investment-the training
school of its young man-power; the
producer of producers"
The campaign thus has an appeal
to common sense and cold business
as well as to loyalty and patriotism.
1t will present the investment of
S5,000,OOO as making direct return
100 per cent for every dollar spent.
The S5,OOO,000 is to cover a pro-
gram, carefully worked out, for an
expansion of the school at the rate
of $1,000,O00 year, expended in
buildings. equipment, dormitories
and new departments.
And of this $5,00O,000. one million
already may be regarded as being
ralSed-more than two months before
the campaign period-provided the
remainder is raised in Georgia.

A telegram received Saturday by
DR.. K. G. Matheson, president OF

900 in New York and the north was
