In speaking yesterday of the won derful gift, President MeSween ex pressed his deep appreciation to Mr. Young for this gracious act on his part. It will be a great inspiration to us, said‘‘Mr. MeSween, in the debt Hquidation campaign we are now* wag ing. It comes as a mark of confidence on the part of a Clinton gentleman and will have a fine influence with ’ other interested friends in the state. Mr. MeSween stated that the property will be a valuable addition to the insti- tutuion's peimanent equipment and he spoke in the highest terms of Mr Young and the motives that prompted' him in making the magnificent gift to the college. libraries be located in the schoof build-! irigs. During September past, the school officials and library committee of the Woman’s club, agreed to place the li brary in the high school building with the stipulation .that its books and fix tures could be removed whenever either party wishes to dissolve the arrange ment. ^ The local U. D. C. and D. A. R. chapters are also using the .library headquarters for holding their regu lar meetings and preserving their relics and books. The plan has met the COLLEGE OUTLOOK BRIGHT CJonditional Gifts of $148,000. Secured By President MeSween To Become ^Available Upon ^mpletion of Debt-Liquidation Campaign Now Being Waged. ^ President MeSween of Predhyterian college, expressed himself yes terday as well' pleased with the progress that is being made towards liquidating riie institution’s outstanding debt. He is out of the city practically all of bis time at present and ia receiving a most cordial and sjmipathetic reception wherever he goes. It is now hoifed and plann^ by Phesident MeSween to free the college from its present debt by Jan. t, 1931, or considerably sooner if pwsible. The General Educauon Board has extended its conditional gift of $48,000 for a period of two years, during which time this amount will be promptly paid when^the present debt is wiped out. John T. Woodside of Greenville, and Col. Leroy Springs of Charlotte, have offered Mr. MeSween $50,000 each on the same condition. This means that $148,000 will be available for endowment' and permanent to meet the institution’s present indebtedness. This amoaint, and the $30,000 president’s home gift just made by John H. Young of this city, will add approximately $200,000 to the college when these con ditions are met. President Mi^ween is untiringly pushing his campaign anJ is optimistic over Se outlook for its success. Once this debt handicap is removed, these substantial gifts on the part of generoUs friends will become a reality'.
