Senior Class Leaves IJj School Gilt of Money After finding out that a suitable gate could not be erected with the amount of money the class could raise, the Senior class has decided to leave what it has raised in trust with the University, which | sum will be added to by the next class, and then suitable entrances, can be built as the gift of the two classes. This gift will mark the first time in the history of the institution that a graduating class has left a gift to the University. In speaking of the decision to leave the money, rather than attempt to put up some small gate or other gift, Wilson O. Weldon, president of the class, said, "We find that a suitable gate at one of the Sumter Street entrances will cost in the neighborhood of $800 to $1,000. " After consultation with Dr. Douglas, and others connected with the University, and at the suggestion of the Board of Trustees, we think that it will be the best plan for us to leave the money which we raise, which will amount to about three hundred dollars, and ask that next year's graduating class match this sum, and then erect a gate as the gift of the two classes combined. "J^Ve hope that this will be but the beginning of a practice that every suces-' sive graduating class will see fit to continue." , , Formal presentation of the gift will be made at the commencement exercises on June 10. Seniors who have not contributed can send their contributions to #,{; Ralph O. Bowden, Jr., at the University postoffice.
