K llCYOW ®r 19 IS At the meeting of the Board of Managers in Twelfth Month, 1915, the Committee was instructed to formulate the plans for a campaign to increase the resources of the College, with full power to act. In the weeks previous to Commencement, the sum of $406,810 was subscribed. This sum includes $50,000 to be used to start the erection of a Girls ' Dormitory referred to above. The Committee decided to secure as large a sum as possible by Commencement of 1917. It is the plan that subscription to the Juliilee Fund shall be paid in three installments; at least one-third by October 1, 1917; a sec- ond one-third Ijy October 1. 1918; and the remainder by October 1, 1919, thus complet- ing the payment to the College before the Jubilee Anniversary in October, 1919. During the past four months something over $50,000 has been subscribed for en- dowment. The most notable subscription of late is a conditional gift of $125,000 from the General Education Board. This Board was founded by John D. Rockefeller and has for its purpose the promotion of education within the United States of America. It is gratifying that the General Education Board has. by this gift, put its seal of ap- proval on the educational policy of Swarthmore College. It is the only college in the East that received a gift of any kind at the recent meeting of the Board. In a state- ment made to them by the College the fact that Swarthmore was a Friends ' College was not only made clear, but emphasized, as the following extract will show: Swarthmore is co-educational. The Friends who have founded the College have always believed in giving women equal opportunity with men. The history of the F ' riends makes an e.xceptional background for a co-educational college especially in the East. One who studies the life at Swarthmore is struck at once with the marked influence the traditions of Friends have on the College. One-half of the members of the Board are women, one-half of them have been women from its foundation. Friends generally should find much encouragement that so important an educational foundation as the General Education Board shows by this conditional gift its approval of the College which has been built up with so much concern and sacrifice by the Friends. $220,000 must yet be subscribed to secure the conditional gift of $125,000 from the General Education Board. Alumni, ex-students, and students are now organizing to secure this sum. Up to the present time the endowment and plant has been given chiefly by non-graduates of the College, though there have been a few who have given most liberally from the Alumni and ex-students. There is now a very strong feeling that those who have been the chief benefactors of the College, namely the Alumni, ex-students, and students, should either give or secure this $220,000. As no student pays more than about one- half of the cost of his college education, this sum will represent only a small part of the obligation which those who have received the benefit of the college, or their Alma Mater. Edward Clarkson Wilson. ' 91, President of the Alumni .Association, will appoint a Committee of one man and one woman from each class to have general charge of the campaign among the Alumni and ex-students. He ha ' s already appointed Edward Temple, ' 91, Chairman of the Committee, and John Murray. ' 92. Vice Chairman. It is believed that everj ' living Alumnus, e.x-student and student should take two definite responsibilities in helping to secure this Jubilee Fund: First, to give what they can. and Second, to encourage others to do the same. So far as the matter has been dis- cussed with those who especially receive the benefits of the College, we have been very much encouraged by their spirit of co-operation and helpfulness. In conclusion, a recent editorial in the Phoenix is quoted: Thus it is that Swarthmore is entering upon one of the most important campaigns in her history. The success or failure of this effort will determine the position she will in the future occupy among the educational institutions of this countrj-. The success of the undertaking will be determined by the degree of our willingness to make sacrifices for Alma Mater. The success of the undertaking will be measured by the number of us, — students, alumni, faculty, managers, friends, — who stand bj- our college and accept the challenge laid down by the Cliicago boy (who gave his first $1,000 to his Alma Mater). We cannot all give a thousand dollars, we can all give something; some of us can give more than a thousand dollars. What will the ' answer be? When 1919 comes will our celebration be a real jubilee? Will we all be enrolled? Will we all have done our best to repay part of the debt that is ours? Will we accept the challenge? Will you give a thousand dollars? Alma Mater receives only to give again, even as she has given unto you. 15
