Endowment Secretaries DR. CYRUS U. XVADE, DD. Srrrctary 0f the Endowment IWO'Z'CIIIcHt Dr. Wade may he termed DePauwis General in the late Endowment Cam- paign. Here and there and everywhere this able leader worked unceasingly all during the long strife. Many tales have been told that illustrate the unique methods used by this brilliant worker in many instances. Shrewd real estate transfers were executed and business interests throughout the state were threatened time and time again. It was a wonderful Struggle and everybody believes Dr. tVade to have been the ablest leader in the world for such a contest. Too much praise cannot be given him. DR. SALEM B: TOXNN, DD. t DermVs Financial Secretary D1 . Town was the man behind the long campaign firing line. Over in his office in Minshall Laboratory this powerful personality labored over the problems that continually came up to baFHe the workers in the Held. Each day he moved his goal on and on and then inspired his cohorts to keep up with the pace. Never was he fearful as to the outcome of the Siege nor was he confused by too much conhdence. The success of DePauwk Endowment Campaign ending on De eember the thirty-hrst, nineteen hundred and eleven, was due in a great measure to Dr. Town's untiring efforts and dogged persistency. Page six
