STUDENTS RA ISE $1 0,000 Only T w o of the Nine Co-operating Conferences Are Reporting Full Quota. A Ith ough the da te for th e ca mpaign is pa t yet th ere a r c many pledges . till com in g in. Th g neral fee lin g among th e lea de rs is that th e drive ha s been a success even th ough the en tir e amount was not in by the final clay. The drive will cont inu e a few day more and it is th e fir m belief that th e whole amount will be in the co ll ege office in a shor t ti me. So far reports are fu ll on ly from two conferences w hi h show them ove r the top. These arc West Vir­ g inia a nd South Eas t Ohio. A great deal of praise is du th ese two con­ fer nces. J t is h oped that the re­ ma ining seve n distri cts wi ll hasten their repo rt and p ut th e campaign over. T h e tudents es ta bli sh ed an e nviab le record whe n hy May 11iiith they reported o,·er $10,000 as th eir s hare toward the fina l goa 1. It wa not expec t ed, of co ur se, that the second and third goal set up in the campaign would b attained at thi time. These goa ls, the in crca e of 400 in th stude nt e nrollment and th e addition o f 100 to th e o utput of trained Chri sti an work<'rs, arc to be ac hi eved in a qua dr ennium. How­ eve r, the so li ci tati o n for funds have proven a g rea t boos t r for student enrollm ent. Whereve r th e endow­ ment proposition has bee n prese nted, the t ud ent proposi ti o n a lso ha s been presented. Otterbein a nd Westerville ha ve thu s r eceived intensive and ex­ tensive adver ti sing who c res ults will be manifest in th e futur e, and thus progress has be n made toward th e atta inm ent o f th e sec nd and third goa ls.
