Above  all  else  it 

is  Mr.  Garfield's

HERE  IS  ONE  WAY 

Do your  share  to  help  build  the  UNION  MEMORIAL  building. 

It  will be  an  imposing  structure  of  great  utility. 

It  will be an  attraction  to  desirable  students. 

It  will  serve  students,  faculty  and  visitors  and,  to  consider  it  from 
a  selfish  viewpoint,  it  will provide  you  with  a  campus  home,  a  place  to 
meet  your  friends,  a  clubhouse  where  you  will be  always  welcome  and 
where  you  can  enjoy  true  M. A. C.  hospitality.
