the workers was that the response of
the people of WASHINGTON to the
idea of a greater George Washington
is very generous, and that the time
has been too short to canvass all who
want to have part in building the
beautiful colonial university center
which is to stand for ages in the
heart of the capital.

to say that 1 have never been more
affected By meeting wi than haze by
Lewis said. There has never been
a campaign in Washington with a
more remarkable turnout. We all
appreciate the difficulties with which
rir,xr l,n crit of
time and energy and the disappoint-
1nent of not finding people at home
but have not met with a single one
who is grumbling.
No institution has met with q
more whole-hearted service than is
now being given to George Washing
ron. I thank you for the most loyal,
most efficient. most effective service
I have ever seen in any community
project"

for every dollar subscribed now so
cents will go into the buildings which
