IT'S UP TO YOU, TO-DAY.

What excuse can you give to your conscience to
your family your fellow townsen, and to the ris
ing generation for your failure to do your full share
in raising the S25O,OOO that Topeka is investing in
her greatest asset-WASHBURN COLLEGE!
More than 1,5OO Topekans, men and women of
big hearts and clear vision have done their part
But Washburn must have $4,000 And she
must have it subscribed today.
Topeka is looking to you-you who have waited
to do you part this the last day of the campaign
Let's get it over. It's up to you.
1t is unthinkable that you will allow Topeka to
fall down. No matter what your business or what
your walk in life, you are beneficiary of Washburn
college You owe something to Washburn. 1t has
made Topeka better city in which to live. It has
increased the wealth of the city. Some of the
S645,000 that Washburn spends in Topeka every
year, passes thru your hands. Even tho you may
never have been on Washburn campus you have felt
indirectly directly, the influence of its culture. It
your college, even tho you never saw it.
The $3.50 900 that Topeka is raising is not "a con-
tributOn it is investment. Along with Topeka's
money goes $3.50, 900 to be invested in Topeka.
That facilities for larger student body and
more students means more money spent in Topeka
every day in the year.
That isn't the big way to look at Washburn; that
is a small part of what Washburn means to Topeka,
but if nothing else appeals to you, take this dollars
and-cents view of the and come thru for the sake
OF your own pocketbOok-
1t is true that you will reap the benefits of Wash
burn, whether you do your part OF not-but, you're
not that sort of man. You willing to bear your
share of the load. You willing to lend hand,
even at personal sacrifice, if your help is needed.
You not shirker.
Well your help is needed and needed badly.
Your help is needed and needed today.
If Topeka fall down. it will be the fault of the
men and women who have given their time and
thought and energy to the enterprise; it will not be
the fault of the men and women who have sub
scribed; it will not be the fault of anyone in the
world but YOUl
It's up to you today.
