When the alumni of the Alabama Polytechnic institute assemble again

DeBardeleben. chair man of the general committee.
 With the aid of the augmented teams much good has been done by way of enlarging the scope of the canvass, although much still remains to be done.
 Many of the alumni have done wonderful work and many have made noble sacrifices of time and substance" said General Chairman DeBardeleben, "and the committee appreciates all this, but there are still ..ome who have not fully realized their duties in this campaign and how important it is to put their shoulder to the wheel and giving their full cooperation in the work. We hope that everyone of these will also be on hand Wednesday night and give us the benefit of their en- couragement and active support"
