 of State Alumni


 UNIVERSITY, Ala, Dec. 16.r(Spe cial.l-With total of more than SIT 7000 raised for the university of Alabama million dollar expansion fund in Mobile. the last of the gen eral civic campaigns within the state for the university was brought to a close this week. Mobiles quota is ss5,000 and members Of the exeeu- tive committee under the leadership of Thomas NJ. Stevens. expect to raise the small remainder and put that city over the top.
 With the completion of Mobiles campaign, the major portion of the million dollar fund has been raised, and university authorities are con- fihent that the remainder will be raised in clean up work which is now in progress. Special work is being done in several communities of the state where the active canvass was delayed. and an effort is being made te present the university's appeal and obtain subscriptions from all alumni who have not yet come to the support and their alma mater.
 An important phase of the work during the next few weeks will be among alumni living in other states. II has been impossible so far to present the campaign directly tG them, but an organization Is now be- ing perfected which Is expected to obtain large share of the remainder from alumni living in Memphis, Chattanooga, Meridian, New Orleans. Atlanta. Savannah and eastern cities. vrha a number of Alabama graduates are located.

 "The support which the University of Alabama has received In this cam paign has been an inspiration to all -ef us.'' said Dr. George H. Denny. president. Tt has bettered the morale of the faculty and tire students be- cause 1t has shown them that the people of Alabama are not unmindful of the necessity of providing the in- stitution with adequate buildings and equipment. One of the most val uable results has been that it has drawn the alumni closer to the insti- tuition and united them in support cf that considerable part in public edu- cation which the state university plays
 With the major portion of the million dollar fund already raised we would De negligent in our duty to the university and the state if we did not carry forward the work to com plete success We are confident that the entire fund will be raised. be- cause we believe the few communi- ties in Alabama which have not yet responded will do as we'll as the rest of the state. and because we feel cer- tain Of the loyalty of our alumni liv- ing outside the state"
