Allen University
Gym Campaign
The campaign lor funds to com
plete the Gymnasium goes merrily
on. Over a thousand dollars have
been raised. The Allen University
Club of Columbia, the sponsors of
this Drive, are disappointed in the
small returns made by the Alumni
Ministers and Congregations of
the Church in the State. The great
er part of contributions received
have come from the City of Colun\
bia, organisations in Columbia,
business firms and-friends here.
The Club is appealing to the a,
lumni to please help. It is asking
our pastors to take an after collection
and send it in, however
however small, or howevcp-large,
it will help #nd be thankfully received.
The Finance Committee is:
Dr. O. J. Champion, president and
treasurer; Miss M. T. Kennedy,
secretary; Mrs. R. L. Peguese.
Send-contributions to the secretary
or the President of the University.
