College Will Open Campaign
: February IA to Continue
Until 1925.

Nine million dollars by 1925. This
Is the goal of campaign to be
opened February II by the alumnae
and undergraduates of Wellesley Col
9ege. OF this sum, So. 100000 has been
designated as the imperative mini
smum," and effort will be made to
faise it by June of this year.
This first section of the fund will
be devoted to four projects. For the
most important of these, faculty en-
fowment. 100000 has been allowed,
&nd the general education board will
provide 100000 if the college raises
the balance, The remaining Sl,o00.0U0
Is to be divided akong three almost
equally important needs: First, $780,
OVO for faculty housing center;
second. 100000 for an additional dor
eeStion, and third, 100000 to COM
Piete the fund for a Students lumnae
building. The remaining 100000 will
eoVer the expected additional cost of
hese three buildings over the pres
ent estimates OF architects.
Z 1t is proposed to remedy the faculty
housing situation by building a resi-
Qential center for members of the
teaching staff. Ground has been do
mated. and 100000 is a conservative
estimate of the cost of erecting the
necessary group.
In crowded Quarters.
The entire freshman class-approxi-
mately $50 StudentS-and q portion Of
the sophomore class are housed in the
village of Wellesley, many of these
students in houses more than a mile
from the college buildings, with no
means of transportation other than a
public taxi service. which is expen-
sive. 1t has long been the intention
OF the trustees to erect q freshman
quadrangle on the campus.
The college has no adequate audi
torlum where the entire student body
may assemble. The Student Alumnae
building is necessary in order that all
the undergraduates may attend the
numerous lectures, concerts and So
cial functions that occur every year.
A fund Of 100000 has been collect
ed already, and has been accumulat-
ing interest since the war halted the
building
The balance of the fund-ss.ooo,o 900
is to be raised between June, 1921,
ana June. 1925, when the college will
celebrate it's semi-centennial. This
will be devoted to the erection OF
quarters for the various science de-
partments and to the completion of
the freshman quadrangle.
