The Centennial Forward Fund Campaign L the notable movements in the history of the College have been born of necessity. The great needs of the institution in these last years of its first century compel the undertak- ing of a campaign for the raising of additional endowment in order that the ever-increasing demands of a modern college education and of a growing family may be met. President Wilson, therefore, during the spring of 1916, planned and inaugurated the Centennial For- ward Fund of $325,000. The campaign is being actively and vigor- ously prosecuted. President Wilson is in the field, devoting his entire time and energy to the securing of friends and pledges, and his assist- ants at the home base are attending to many of the details incident to the great task. Although war clouds and economic crises are imminent, great en- couragement arises from the fact that already a large proportion of the total sought has been pledged. The General Education Board has granted $75,000 on condition that $225,000 additional be raised. Twenty-five thousand dollars has been subscribed toward the rebuilding of Carnegie Hall. Of this amount the Faculty subscribed $5,000, the remainder being pledged by the citizens of Maryville and Blount County. About $60,000 from other sources has been assured, and new friends, who will aid in the securing of the fund, are being providentially raised up. Y The year 1919 will be the Double Jubilee of the College, and we trust that God intends Maryville to go forward into her second century fortified with the new endowment and equipment that the Centennial Forward Fund of $325,000 is designed to provide.
