Additional "memoriar" gifts brought

Of the new hospital buildings as me-
morials in honor of any one they may
choose.
The first and largest memorial gift
to be reported was one Of $4,000,
and was given in memory of Mrs.
Nary Kellogg, wife of the late Sena-
Tor William Pitt Kellogg. 1t will
consist of the recreation hall in the

The creation Of memorial rooms or
departments is one Of the pleaSsntesr
ways Of contributing 10 such 4 fund

man Clarence A ASpenwan. "Ry
specifying that your gift shall be
used to construct a certain part of
the new buildings, and for no other
purpose, you have the satisfaction
later on Of seeing the concrete re-
suit Of your contribution.
OF course. since all the campaisn
expenses are being paid out of a
separate fund. every dollar that is
contPihuted TO the building fund is
used for no other purpose than the
construction OF the hospital build
!nSs, so that all contributors may
know that their gifts will create some
part of the finished structure; but
there is an added pleasure in realiz-
Ing that you yourself have built some
distinct and recogniZable unit.
Much Time Allowed.

Memorials are not of interest SIM
ply to the wealthy; they are of many
different kinds, and may be obtained
for amounts varying widely, from
$1,000 for a room in the nurses
home, up to $4,000 for an entire
floor in the central building. More
over, these gifts are made under the
same terms as regular contributions
TO the building fund, in six payments

eight at $4,000, with other units at
various amounts up to $4,000 for

This wide range of choice makes
it teasy for almost any one to pick

vantage of it."

that one may take memorial now
and determine the name of the one

The necessary fund of S500,00o
with which the new buildings will
be constructed is being raised by a
volunteer organization of workers

! their time this week to the task and
are meeting every noon for rally
lunches at the City Club to announce
results.
