President Homan and Vice President Todd are now engaged in clearing up the remaining amount, and Will doubtless have this accomplished very shortly. The completion of this half million endowment fund has been perhaps the greatest forward step in the history of Willamette Uni- versity. It has been accompanied by a growing student body, a healthier student spirit, more general recognition from the outside, and general progress in all lines. But the end is not yet. Those Who have made this campaign. a great success have no intention of sitting back With laurels won.

This is the tentative action taken by the deans of the two schools. Friends of the school Will be sorry to lose this depart- ment, but all feel that by this action it can do a better and broader work, and more nearly realize the hopes and ambitions of its founders.
