'Ghz 'Endowment For many years the General Education Board of New York, of which john D. Rocke- feller is the head, has been carrying on careful investigations, planning to assist one hundred and ten of the most deserving colleges of our nation. The board pays no attention to de- nomination, but bases its choice on the merits of the school. The board's income is that from fifty-two millions of dollars. Ex-President Murlin and the trustees of the University carried on much correspondence with the Educational Board, relative to endowing Baker. President Mason faithfully conf tinued the pleas, and on October 26, 1912, came the news of their promise to 3125.000 with the condition that we raise the remainder of a half million dollars, over and above all debt. The gift was announced in chapel and the enthusiasm was so great that the students and faculty were given a holiday in honor of the event. Baker was one hundred and ninth on the list of one hundred and ten colleges to be endowed. These colleges will remain on this list, and they are also promised future support from the Board when it is deserved. Page I7 L'5'?,,,s1i-51'7WP6.'fJ'xH!'1:.Q,.,,P.lr4 xr
