 With total subscriptions of s26s,- PAS for the University of Alabama, the active campaign by the present alumni teams came to q close Thurs day, but the work will be continued by special committees and volunteer workers until Birmingham's quota of s350,o is raised. Complete oonfi- dence that the remainder of approx imately sso,0oo would be obtained was expressed by the university lead CTS, as a number of subscriptions have been promised but have not yet been turned in. Canvass of the women graduates under the direo- tion of Mrs. Frank B. Clark has not yet been completed, work of inter viewing alumni and others in the outlying districts of Birmingham and in suburban communities is yet to be done, and from other sources subscriptions are expected to swell Birmingham's total.
 The small group of alumni who have worked faithfully for their uni versity set a new record Thursday by obtaining new subscriptions of SIP, 40, the largest amount obtained in one day during the campaign with the exception of the day when the $2C, 900 subscription by the Alabama Power company was announced.
 With congratulations for their fine record, they were relieved from fur ther work by their leaders, Jelks Cabaniss and Boroen Burr, but many of them volunteered to continue in the campaign until the entier quota was raised. Practically all of the alumni workers will go to Tusca- loosa today for the exercises at the university and the football game be- tween Alabama and Louisiana State. and many of them will resume work for the university upon their return to Birmingham.
 AEe-Herald Contributes
 A gift of $500 from The Birming- ham Age-Herald was the largest con- trtbution announced Thursday. Mrs. E. W. Barrett, former publisher. had previously subscribed s1,000 to the university fund, making total of s2.500 given by the old and new own ership of The Age-Herald. Other large gifts were those of Gen Louis V. Clark, Carr Mccormack and the American Cast Iron Pipe company, amounting to s1,000 each, al.d $500 given by the Tutwiler hotel
 A subscription which occasioned much appreciable comment was that of the Hellenic-American society, composed of Birmingham Greeks, which was sent unsolicited to the university headquarters. The sub- scription was for $260.
 The Louisville and Nashville train leaving at S:15 o'clock has been des- ignated as the official train for the party going to Tuscaloosa for the day,s festivities and most of the vis- itors will return to Birmingham on the A. G. S. train leaving Tuscaloosa at $40 o'clock.
 One of the largest crowds of alumni which has ever visited the Univer- sity is expected to be present Fri day for Homecoming day. The vic- tery of Alabama over Pennsylvania last Saturday has made all the form CT students eager to see the Thin Red Line in action, and the campaign for the University has brought the alumni closer to their alma mater than they have ever been before.

 StOckham Speaks
 : @The state will go forward as lead ership Is developed" Mir. Stockha,n said. The lack of sufficient num- Der of trained men has prevented Alabama from advancing as 1t might have in the past and the future of our state depends upon the ability of our state university and other fn- stitutions of higher education to train our boys and girls for posi- tions of leadership. With the alumni aroused as they have been by this campaign. look forward to an era of rapid progress in future years"
