ments. The wrork was for the most part discontinued during the months from August, 1919, to February, 1920. The campaign was resumed during the late winter, with the result that the spring of 1 920 finds us only seventy-five thousand dollars ficm our goal, w ith the al- most immediate prospect of securing that sum. In addition, as esti- mated one hundred thousand dollar subscription for the erection of a new library building has been secured provided the four hundred thou- sand is raised. With over a million dollars endowment, Millikin may indeed look toward a larger development and expansion. Oar present instructors may be better paid, and others may be attracted to Millikin. The build- ings already built may be better equipped and maintained. The en- dowment will be of sufficient size to make possible the creation ol a building fund that will permit the erection of additional buildings. Bui best of all, a second million is next on the program, to be used as fol- lows: rive hundred thousand doll r increase in salaries; five hundred thousand dollars for much needed buildirgs — Science building. Li- brary building. Chapel building, Men ' s dormitory, a new Women ' s dormiitory. President ' s Home. Convinced by the fact that the people of Decatur have contributed four hundred thousand dollars to Millikin, other large sources of en- dovkonent money may be expected to contribute heavily to Millikin ' s second million with the assurance that they are contributing to an in- stitution which has the sincere backing of its communiy. And as we look toward a larger and greater Millikin, may we thank those men who made possible the creation and maintenance of Millikin, and who are now making possible her growth.
