have gone over the halfway mark,
$4,000 having been reported.
These gifts many of them small,
have been received from all Sec
tions of the country. 1T all goes
to show, said the Union president,
that people realize the interna-
tional and interracial significance
of this goal to which the Univer-
sity is striving.
Gifts ranging in amounts from
81 900 to $1,000 were received in the
presidents mail on Friday of last
week These amounts came from
the states of Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New York, Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, and several
from California. The largest gift
was reported from woman in
California who added these words:

gagged in dismantling and Grating
the Belgian Building for shipment
to the campus Of Virginia Union
University, recently made cCntribu-
tions totaling $24I to express their
approval of the gift and their will
ingness to help the university
secure the entire structure. Their
contributions were entirely volun-
tary. These men, including the
architect, contractor, and their
staff of workers, will leave New
York, probably the latter part OF
next month to begin the final task
of re-erecting the building in Rich
mond. thus furnishing the univer-
sity a much needed library and
gymnasium auditorium combina-
ton
When the campaign workers in
the Richmond area were called to-
gether by the local chairman,
Egbert Leigh III, on Wednesday
of last week, they reported $10,50C.
The local campaign is expected to
run for several weeks longer.
