r.<* Believe us when we tell you the Rollins Alumni Fund needs your financial support badly. Crucial is an over-worked word but that is the only one we can think of. If you can think of another one which means that the Alumni Fund is desperately in need of resuscitation, just write it at the top of tbe check with your contribution. But please don't waste too much time thinking about that synonym. We shall be mighty glad to get that contribution with or without embellishment. This appeal is not a sharp-shooting contest. We are aiming at every loval alumnus. We don't like this idea of "passing the hat" either. But a good way to cut down on the frequency with which we do it depends entirely upon your cooperation NOW.
