Student Loan Committee
Mrs. Arthur L. Gilman of Dover
Foxcroft, chairman of the d. A. r.
student Loan Committee. in her re-
| port, stated that the committee has
carried on its work the past year
along the same lines as those fol-
lowed since the creation of the COM
mlttee three years go.
1T has worked for the increase of
our ID. "A. +. Student Loan Fund
and in some degree has met with
success" continued Mrs. Gilman in
her report.
AT the opening of activities early
IN the year, a letter was sent to
each chapter asking for contribu-
tons to this fund. 1t was hoped
that there would be a larger response
this year than last year, particular
ly in the number of chapters con-
tributing, but owing to various new
activities of the National Society,
. fnpnr nhorOtorc
was added to the fund.
contributions We're made this
year by 10 chapters, the aggregate
Of which is $119.7S. This amount
f, added to the balance of last year
shows credit to the Student Loan
| Fund of $456.4S and from this amount
the sum of $3.50 has been loaned
this year. leaving an apparent bal
ance of a little more than $500.
ut may seem to the casual OBJ
server that with a cash balance on
hand, no gifts to the Fund are need
ed, but already the committee has
on file applications for 5000 for next
year, so that the Fund is more in
need of gifts than ever if it Is to
function and Garry on With loans
! now placed and the cash now on
hand, the Fund totals S556.4S since
IL was started Two years ago. Inc
calls on individual chapters are
many. but is anything of greater
importance than the education of
the coming citizens of Maine? What
finer memorial can money help to
build?"
