These bonds must the date be retired within ten years from of issue, they will be dated May 1, 1925. The proposal was introduced in the house representatives by A.

Final details rest with the at torney general for completion. It is pointed out by President Rogers that the present assets, in pledges receiv that able, are just less than $200,000 and the whole structure of financing upon which the Union Memorial building is being con structed will topple unless those who have pledged pay the amounts due on or before they have been made payable. the dates There has been extended on the building some $4,000 more than has been received, all campaign expenses have been paid with out taking a cent from the principal of the is being made fund and this will continue to be the case. The Union Memorial building will un doubtedly be ready for use within the next to six months, every effort have it ready by June 15 or somewhat earlier. The extent to wmich it can serve alumni will depend entirely on the extent to which they support it.
