191 T CIARLA Utica, N. Y. The campaign which followed the Allentown campaign was that at Reading, which netted $30,000. The biggest campaign in regard to financial results was held in February, 1916, in Philadelphia. It resulted in contributions amounting to over $80,000. In this campaign the largest single gift was given by one family, amounting to $10,000. The city of Lancaster has raised over $20,000, and Lebanon has contributed $15,000. At this time a campaign is being conducted at Pottstown. Other towns that have not been covered will be similarly canvassed by organizations of laymen of one hundred or more, formed into bands under captains, and meeting daily to report and plan for their work. The income of the money will be used in the college to pay for the erection of the new Allentown Preparatory School, and to liquidate existing obligations incurred by the College. This campaign, which is now materializing, is the outcome of a campaign of several years of instruction throughout eastern Pennsylvania. It is the culmination of plans carefully matured, and will relieve the College of immediate burdens. The College, however, is of necessity planning still larger things, to meet the increasing demands of its work. Doctor Haas. Dorms 22
