CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED TO
RAISE FUND FOR ROLLINS

/ Orlando, Feb. 1.-THE formal
launching of the Rollins College en-
dowment fund campaign in the state
of Florida was made in Orlando
Thursday and at the close of the first
days work, subscriptions totaling
$26,S70 were reported by half of the
teams which are at work canvassing
the city.
Tue to the absence of several of
the workers and a large number of
the leading business men of the city
who are in Tampa attending the
Shrine ceremonial, complete canvas
has not been attempted, and the re-
suits already reported have proved
highly gratifying to the trustees in
charge of the campaign.
The local quota is $4,000, which is
half of the amount which must be
raised in Florida by February 22nd
in order to secure a million dollars of
endowment to the college The Or
lando campaign extends through Sat
urday, with every indication of a sue
cessful termination.
