Ped by the college to claim the con-
dihonal pledges.
Mrs. John F. Dodge of Detroit, a
member Of the board of trustees of
the college, made an additional gift
also on Friday Of $4,000. This raised
her total Of gifts in the campaign to
$4,000.
The formal closing of the campaign
marks the first step towards the big
ger Alma College and its success in
the future will not only be an inn
portant factor in the community life
Of Alma, but will be reflected in the
entire county.
The original goal Of the endowment
was $685., 100000, and with the amount
that has been secured, the college
has realized practically 95 per cent of
the sum that it sought, which is
rather remarkable, when it is con-
sidered that the campaign has been
underway in one of the most severe
times in the country's history, espe-
cially as regards business and finance
As a result of the various conditions
which were faced during the cam
paign, the authorities at Alma Col
lege are highly pleased with the re-
suits which have been obtained.
President Crooks stated that a part
of the money Will be used to wipe out
a war time deficit that the college
faced, and to pay for some big i'm
provementj that are being made at
the college. The new gymnasium
auditorium, which is to cost about
$S0,000 is included in the building
program provided under the endow-
ment campaign, as is the completion
Of the work of remodeling the old
gymnasium into the most modern
chemistry building that any small col
lege in Michigan can boast The first
floor Of the old gymnasium was re-
modelled last year, and this year the
second floor will be remodeled. Both
the chemistry building and the gym
nasium are to be ready for use late
i'm the fall, the former probably by
the time that college opens in Sep
tember.
In discussing the endowment cam
paign President Crooks spoke Of the
wide interest that there had been in
the campaign, over $500 people max
ing pledges Of financial assistance,
which he believes augers we'll for the
future of the institution.
Unlike most Of the Michigan col
leges, which are now planning on en-
dowment drives, the campaign which
has just been concluded by Alma is
the first widespread endowment cam
paign that the Presbyterian institu-
tion has waged. In the past the fl
nancial aid to the college has come
almost without exception from
small group. Now hundreds Of Mich
igan people are thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the desires of the future
that Alma has, and also with Alma's
needs.
Another thing in connection with
the campaign is of interest-it is un-
derstood that Alma is the first of the
Michigan sectarian colleges which has
received financial aid from both the
General Education Board THE Rock

DUAL CITIZENSHIP PRESENTS
 OBSTACLE TO JAP .-AMITY

HONOLULU, T. H., OCT. 28 = Dual citizenship of Japanese born in America, while recognized as an irritant and obstacle to complete amity between the two nations probably will continue until the Japanese government modifies it's policy to military conscription or until Hawaii and the continental United States come to recognize that dual loyalty is inimical to Amerieanism and a deterrent to the assimilation of American born children of Japanese, in the opinion of Dr. T. Harada, professor of Japanese history and literature at the University of Hawaii, who has just returned from an extensive tour of the continental United States.
 Japan is only following the example of many European coun- tries in holding that her nationals are bound by blood ties rather than by birth ties aid in regarding as nationals all persons of Japanese descent unless the individual re- patriates himself before the age of IT or after the age of 35 years" Dr. Harada said. The American law is peculiar in this respect as America claims as citizens ali per sons born on her soil.
 If the Japanese government sees fit and deems it necessary to pro- mote amity with America to modi- fy her conscription requirements, then perhaps some method will be evolved to release from fealty her American citizens of Japanese blood Failing this, the end of dual citizenship can be brought about only through education of Japanese parents in America and their chil- dren to make them realize that dual citizenship is inherently for eign to American ideals and pre- ventative of the complete American izgtion of their children"
