TO HELP OUT NEEDY STUDENTS

THE S. L. A. STARTS MOVEMENT THAT IS PHILANTHROPIC

Gives $740 Which Will Be Loaned to Deserving Students on Their Own Notes.

As was stated in yesterday's Argus, John Koch gets the contract for the hospital building. Secretary Wade estimates that the new Homeopathic hospital building completed and furnished, can be had for $65,000. The bids on heating and ventilation were laid over until the next meeting and two additional contractors will be asked to submit figures. Alice S. Harvey, lit '99, was appointed assistant in English. The board of regents accepted the donation of last year's Students' Lecture Association with thanks. It amounts to $740, the amount cleared, and will be an endowment fund for needy students, to be loaned to them on their personal notes payable a year after graduation. The loans must be approved by a committee from the different departments. "They came to me," said Secretary Wade, "and asked me what they should do with their balance on hand. I told them that if they could hear the pitiful stories that came into my office they would take some such action, and they adopted that course." The regents also decided not to issue any duplicate diplomas except to the original holders, and only then on satisfactory proof of loss or destruction and a certificate of good standing. The librarian's report showed that luring the past year 143,000 books had been taken out.
