It was natural, therefore, that these "old grads" should plan for reunions and that the first of these should take place in Cleveland, and so it came about. Wilhelmina Freeman, who is a student in Oberlin, and Ruth McKee, who is teaching near Cleveland, were the prime movers in the plans that resulted on May 2, in the formation of the Rollins Club of Ohio. Twenty Rollins-ites gathered at the Wom- an's City Club for dinner on the evening referred to and ears of the dear old campus skirting Lake Virginia must have burned vigorously during those hours which went only too quickly for those present. Rollins songs were sung and of course there was much news exchanged not to mention the old-age tendency—reminis- cences. A business meeting was held after the dinner and it was decided to have two meet- ings a year—a dinner in January and a picnic in July (All Rollins men and women seem to have a weakness for picnics!) The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Wyman W. Stubbs; Vice-President, Smith Fletcher; Secretary and Treasurer, Ruth L. McKee. Those present were: Mary Lou Knoske, Winifred Stone Kindig and Mr. Kindig, Eva Jones, Helen Julius, Helen Everhard, Marion Rickard, Emily Sweigel, Marie Jin- dra, Wilhelmina Freeman, Olive Bedillion Stubbs, Ruth McKee, Smith Fletcher, Nor- man Lloyd, Wyman Stubbs, Louis Miskov- sky, Gomer W.

Name-

Address- ROLLINS NEEDS $750,000 Of course, that isn't all Rollins needs. This page isn't large enough to list the many additions it would be advantageous to place in the curriculum or on the campus, but, according to President Weir— Rollins Must Have $750,000 if she is to develop earnest boys and girls into thoughtful men and women, upright and well balanced; if the vision of her founders is to be realized to "provide a Christian education for the youth of the land"; if her student body is to be adequately accommodated, the faculty properly paid, and the credit of the institution maintained. How is it to be Expended? The objects for which this sum is needed are as follows: For Endowment .... $425,000 Buildings .... 200,000 Stadium ..... 35,000 Underwriting of deficits for three-year period 35,000 Increased salaries for three-year period 25,000 Rehabilitation of plant . . . 30,000 Total $750,000 Who Will Give Rollins $750,000? That is a question which should be constantly kept before every friend of Rollins College. Last February the Alumni Association voted to raise $400,000 of this amount. It is President Weir's hope that the General Education Board will conditionally give $250,000. The balance of $100,000 would have to be raised from friends of Christian Educa- tion who can be convinced that the work of Rollins College is worthy of their consideration. Your Advice is Wanted President Weir has before him the tremendous responsibility of making new friends for Rollins—new friends who are able to take a part in the solution of these financial problems—new friends who want a part in building up America's Christian citizenship. Send him names of such people so that they may be placed on the mailing list and later interviewed. Any other suggestions will be cheerfully received by him.
