Banquet of University
Orono. Me, June (SpeciaD-An
overwhelming sentiment that the
memorial fund drive for 100000 is
going over the top prevailed at the
annual banquet of the University of
Maine Alumni Association in Alumni

chairman of the drive committee.
made the report during the evening
that 1928 .50S.75 had been pledged al

scriptions of 100000, and that only
1895 alumni out of more than 5000
had subscribed. leaving more than

came to the institution.
Hon. Charles p. Barnes OF Houlton
