Thanks to the people OF Washing
ton for their hearty response to the
appeal of the George Washington
University for a million-dollar en-
dowment fund was given last night
by President William Mather Lewis
of the institution.
Tomorrow will see the closing
business luncheon OF the local cam
paign organization at 1890 o'clock
at the New Ebbitt Hotel, although
the organization will continue it's
work for the remainder of the month,
so that every one in Washington
may have opportunity to subscribe.
"The people of Washington are re-
spending to the opportunity of in
vesting in George Washington Uni
versity in way which is most
and gratifying" said DR..
Lewis.
"Civic spirit of the highest type is
manifest in the spontaneous rallylng
to the aid of this institution, which is
so much a part of the city life. We
are now confident that as soon as it
is possible to reach all of the citizens
the million dollars which is sought
will be fully subscribed.
Advantage in Capital
"The unselfish work of the alumni
and others who are giving their time
to the promotion of this movement
assures success. We now enter upon
the second week of our intensive CAM
paign with the assurance that George
Washington University is to have the
opportunity of taking it's rightful
place and of attracting an ever-in-
creaSing army of students to w ash
ington to participate in all of the
advantages which the Capital city
affords.
."At the end of this week We are
carrying the campaign to the nation
at large. Our New York alumni will
rally on Friday evening, February
IS; the Chicago alumni on February
of tile nation. l will carry to them
the most inspiriting message that
could be given, namely, that those
who know us best, the people Of
Washington, have proven their faith
in the institution by their generous
and numerous contributions. 1t is
this statement of fact which will
bring to US from all parts of the ma

Type OF Architecture.
In designing the great quadrangle
for the new George Washington Uni
versity group, the architects, Albert l..
Harris and Arthur B. Heaton, have
taken the style of architecture used in
the time Of our first President and also
a little earlier than the organization of
the institution. This style may well be
called a true American type, although it
was developed from the Georgian of
will. lose its charm, it was declared.
The first building. or unit No. l, Will
be a part of a great quadrangle, which
will be about 400 feet on one street
and about $40 feet on the other. This
first unit is about 1876 feet front and
high.
1t will be all of brick similar to that
in the buildings of Washington's time,
such as Christ Church in Alexandria.
The great court will be of the same
finish as the street fronts, and, in fact,
will be more interesting than the OUT
side. This will be used at times as an
outdoor auditorium The rear of the
itself will project into the
court and will be designed after the
churches of Colonial days, with a
tower and belfry in which it is hoped
that some one will place chimes or a
carlton.
1t is the purpose of the architects to
give these buildings the appearance of
the buildings of old, but from a view
point of the practical; expressing the
modern ideas Of higher education, and
following the style for which the Fine
Arts Commission has been striving in
this great capital of the nation.
