Tke Million Dollar Campaign N February 23, 1926, at ten o ' clock, the campaign to raise for the Medical College of Virginia a million dollars for endowment and buildings was formally launched at student assembly. When the plan had been laid before the students by the president and deans of the college, there was an immediate response. Class teams were appointed and the work of securing pledges to the campaign was on. The student body entered into the spirit of the movement in a way which perhaps surprised even the students themselves. Day after day the total of the pledges mounted until practically every student within the college was pledged, the final sum from the students running beyond forty thousand dollars. Simultaneous with the student campaign the work of soliciting the faculty began. Here, too, the response was fine, with every hope as the X-Ray goes to press of securing from faculty and students considerably more than a hundred thousand dollars. Following the campus campaign the alumni and friends outside of Richmond will be solicited personally. When this effort has been concluded the campaign will come back to Richmond to be closed in the community where the college has been operating for nearly a century. While a million dollars is a large sum, those who have planned the campaign so carefully believe that if the public generally receives the purposes of the campaign in anything like the spirit of the campus, its objectives will be fully reached. They are : Approximately $350,000 for a new teaching unit; $125,000 for a nurses home and women ' s dormitory; $400,000 endowment for whole-time clinical service; $65,000 for general endowment; $50,000 for library endowment, and $io,000 for a student loan fund. It is fully expected that if the million dollars can be raised it will attract other gifts to the institution, thus making possible an increasingly influential and useful profes- sional college with schools of medicine, denistry, pharmacy, and nursing.
