The S3,500,000 Campaign IVING S40,000 as their share of the War Memorial Fund, the 140 members of the Class of 1921 head the million dollar alumni subscription list, the first step in the campaign for S3,500,000 which is to give the University of Georgia an adequate plant. In October the alumni are to call upon the friends of the University to get behind the S3,500,000 campaign and if the rest of the state does as well as the Senior Class, there can be no doubt as to the outcome. That the money is greatly needed is apparent to every man that has been on the campus recently. Already many students are being turned away because there is no room for them. If Chancellor Barrow’s estimate that 5,000 high school graduates will apply for admission to some university this fall is true, the University of Georgia will be totally unprepared to handle its share unless the $3,500,000 program is gotten under way immediately. The program of the alumni calls for one million dollars to be raised through private gifts. This sum will provide for six items covering the essential needs of the University as outlined by the committee of the alumni and faculty. The remainder of the building needs, requiring an expenditure of S2,500,000, must be met by the legislature. Every alumnus, every friend of the University, must do his part if the program .is to be carried out,—and unless it is carried out, Georgia will lose her high standing in education. The work at the University cannot be kept up to present standards without better financial support, even with the 1200 enrollment that the University now has. The sixty new high schools which have never before graduated a single student, will soon begin to pour out their boys and girls, many of whom will want to go on with their education. The University of Georgia must be ready to care for them. Furthermore, it must expand its work. New demands are constantly being made upon it, but these cannot be met as other stales are meeting them, without money. The standing of Georgia as a state depends upon her educational facilities. While other states arc spending millions on their universities, Georgia is allowing hers to struggle along with insufficient funds. The alumni of the University of Georgia have resolved to better the situation and are going to awaken the citizens of the state to the needs of higher education. Already the Georgia spirit has been fired to action. Before another issue of the PANDORA is off the press, the first million will have been raised, and the University of Georgia's S3,500,000 program will be well under way.
