[email protected]. Willingness to Walk Maine sophomore at mid-years was suddenly faced with the necessity of adjusting his campus life from fraternity house to cabin. There the only luxuries provided were a roof and a chance under it to study, a stove and Astumpage. Another more unfavorable change removed the source of income for even term-bill and uncooked food, and of necessity he left the University just as the Student Library campaign was being conducted. None of us is so far removed from our own undergraduate days that some of the effects of such changes cannot be appreciated. Yet this young man, because he knew how much a University Library was needed, gave to the Library fund the money he had saved for trans portation home. Generally Maine women and Maine men, and others who fall under Maine’s influence, do give when a great and good need is known and understood.
