NEW c. i. POLICIES
/ TO Be MADE SOON
Regents Meeting This Month
to Bring Announcement
From Officials.

Vital policies affecting Georgetown
University during 1925 and bearing
directly upon its future growth prob
ably VIII come before the annual
meeting of the board of regents
which will be held this month, with
the president and directors of the
university in attendance
During the first three months as
president of Georgetown, Rev. Charles
w. Lyons, S J., has carefully re-
Trained from making any public an
nounoement with regard to the pro-
posed building program at the uni
NersltY and other matters in connec-
ton with the endowment campaign.
That this policy of silence is to be
broken soon is indicated by develop
ments that are just beginning to
come to head.
Studied Plans Carefully.
President Lyons has been steadily
at work on the endowment plans
since coming to Georgetown, a work
which required close study, since he
was not familiar with what had been
accomplished during the first year of
the campaign. Rather than make
some premature announcement of
definite plans which might have to
be be changed later, Father Lyons
has refrained from giving publicity
TO changes in the program that are
being work ed out.
For the benefit of alumni who have
contributed generously of their time
and money toward the development
of a greater Georgetown" it was
said that steady progress has been
made during the last three months,
with a result that the endowment

plans have been practically COM
pleted and await merely official in
Gorsement
Meanwhile the work of organizing
the alumni in all parts of the coun-
try in the interests of university CO.
operation and expansion has been
meeting with marked success. Par
ticularly strong societies have been
organized in New York, New Eng
land and the East. and excellent re-
suits also are reported from the
Western States. This work has been
aided greatly by the recent publica-
tion of the Georgetown Register,
containing the names and addresses
of all living graduates of the uni
Yersity.
