sionary Council set aside 100000
from Centenary funds to be used as a
foundation for the building of dormi-
tories for women at State Universities.
Missouri was third to put in its ap-
plication for, part of this money.
AS the building is to cost not less
than 100000, the three Missouri Con-
ferences will raise one-third this sum.
The Council endorsed this project and
will give the two-thirds, leaving the
quota S. per member of the Woman's
Missionary Societies within this state
to be paid within three years. Mrs.
Court was unusually impressionable

the building site, which is situated
near the campus of the University.
