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.
