And widely varied have these means been, as is seen by an actual count of the alumnae, ranging from pecans and Jumbo peanuts to hand-mono- grammed linen and Chinese imports. It is told how one well-known ocher washed the neighborhood blankets; another sold some 144 dozen bill folders; and in the days when gingham dresses were in vogue, that now lowly material was sold by the yard in the halls. Nothing salable escapedemagazines. hosiery, Goucher peppermint patties, yarn, HNon-Scatter dusters, Betty Beads, soap, hairnets, tea, flowers, handeknitted sweaters, proved successful wares. Uncle Wiggily benefits and Tony Sarg's Marionettes together produced over $2,000. One former Goucher girl found cake-baking of great lucrative value. Darning stockings, enacting beauty parlor stunts and shining shoes were ever popular methods. One student made and sold hats; several held a dancing class for girls Hto learn not to be a wall-flower, while some probable phys- iology majors raised and sold guinea pigs for experimental purposes. A former Weekly Board raised a large sum on HNoahis Ark, a tea-roorn located in the loft of a paint shop back of Sessrymner. An ad inserted in the bulletin feaa tured Dehmalin, a lotion, uapproved by Dr. Welsh, and manufactured by a leading Baltimore chemist, and each bottle yielded the great profit of five cents, Thus we see that the alumnae have made the campaign a Vital part of their very existence. In 1923 it was decided to open a public campaign, thus, on April 6th of that year the general public was invited to the Lyric to hear the stirring ad- dresses delivered by Dr. Katherine Jeanne Gallagher, Dr. Frank J. Goodnow, President of Johns Hopkins University, and Mrs. Gifford Pinchot. On June 1, 1923, the campaign committee was able to announce that pledges had been secured amounting to the coveted $600,000 and the General Educaticn Board had set the date for meeting these pledges at March 1, 1925. This date was extended to December 31, 1925, and by midnight of that day the $600,000 was finally secured, which, with the $400,000 gift, completed the first million. However, $145,000 of this amount was borrowed from Baltimore banks. On October 27, 1927, the amount of the bank loans was $123,000. The ultimatum was given out that $60,000 of this sum had to be paid by Feb ruary.1, 1928. The college essayed to raise $8,000, but went over the $10,000 mark. The alumnae, through their untiring efforts, completed the sum, with the exception of $121.13, which the faculty committee on stu- dents' records and standing, meeting in a committee room across the hall from the President's oche at five dclock on January 31, on being casually told of the deficiency, immediately and spontaneously made up among themselves. Other payments have been made, leaving the sum payable on June 1, $60,000, although the alumnae hope to raise this sum by May lst. Thus has our dream grown, but we have concrete reality before us in the charming map, entitled the uSpirit of Goucher, drawn by Mr. Woldemar Ritter, of Boston: these are preliminary plans to help publicity in the cam- paign, Then, too, the first building has been erected on the campus--the shack belonging to the Goucher Athletic League. Truly we are drawing near the day when we may see T . . . our fair celestial city Clothe itself in earthly form? I321
