are determined to stop only when she shall have equaled in true greatness any college, anywhere. All of these names are to be compiled into one great book; the name of this book is to be the Founders ' Book. The contributions from founders residing outside Atlanta are being separately recorded, to be used in establishing memorial professorships or buildings representing each Southern State. In this short sketch of Oglethorpe, we must not omit that most potent force and staunch friend. The Oglethorpe Women ' s Board, the purpose of which is to aid the University in every wise and efficient way. They have done invaluable work for Oglethorpe, and we shall always have a deep feel- ing of appreciation for them. This historical sketch could be carried much further. Half the story has not been told. We sincerely hope that every reader of The Yamacraw, who has not heard the interesting and wonderful story of Oglethorpe University, will some day have that privilege. J. Render Terrell, Jr., Historian of the Senior Class.

The Lupton Gift THE beautiful building given to Oglethorpe by Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, will contain the University ' s library. The building is now in process of construction. It will be built of granite, concrete and steel, which will be an almost fire proof construction. When the building is completed, it will be one of the finest college buildings in the whole country. The gift, which was given in memory of Mr. Lupton ' s mother, was received with most grateful enthu- siasm by the Faculty and students of Oglethorpe, because the need of another building has long been felt.
