Professor F. G. Allen,
105 Robinson Gymnasium,
University of Kansas.

Dear Professor Allen:

The committee in charge of the effort to procure the old Woodward
property is pleased to announce that a more favorable offer has been
received from the present owners, provided the transaction can be closed
without delay. To secure title and prepare the building for occupancy will
require additional subscriptions amounting to approximately five thousand
dollars.

A total of $10,787 has been subscribed by 386 persons. This
includes $5,000 most generously given by Mr. Robert H. Bradford of ElDorado,
Kansas, for restoring and furnishing the building whenever other graduates
have purchased the place.

The privilege of living in the dormitory will be granted as a
scholarship, as is done in Yatkins and Miller halls. It will be worth be-
tween $100 and $200 a year. Just think what fifty such scholarships will
mean. And that $5,000 will do it. This will go on each and every year.
Now figure out what your gift of a hundred, or fifty, or twenty-five, or
ten, or five, or even one dollar will do in one or ten or fifty years. Can
you beat it as an investment in kindness? A list of all subscribers will
be kept in a suitable place in the dormitory.

And that beautiful approach to the University, too. That's worth
the money itself. You may be more interested in that than in helping boys.

While this is an alumni movement there is no reason why other
members of the University community should not have some part in it. And
no one who contributes will fail to enjoy the satisfaction of being in the
number of those who made possible this splendid addition to the campus and
such a home for worthy boys. Especially will this be true of the University
faculty, whether they are graduates of the University of not. Twenty-five
members of that body have already subscribed $466. Do you not wish to
have your name added to that list?

Enclosed find subscription blank and addressed envelope which can
be deposited in the University mail. If desired, a liberal extension of
time for payment will be granted, but it is necessary that subscriptions be
known now in order to take advantages of the terms that have been offered.

Faithfully yours,

For the Committee.
