Mr. Stewart, president of the Endowment Association, announced the offer

sent members, and to be carried in the secretary's official file for the board of
trustecs.

The chair called on Mr. Hill for comments. He expressed, first, enthusi-
astic approval of the project, and commendation on the carrying on of the campaign
to dates He felt that no fatal mistakes had been madew. It was his feeling that
large individual gifts should be obtained, and campaigns and localities where large
amounts can be collected should receive special attention. His opinion was that it
would continue to cost money to get the job carried through, probably more than is
outlined in the proposed budget.

Mr. Crafton expressed need for dramatization of the memorials He thinks it
is difficult for alumni to visualize the memorial properly. He recommended a model
of the hill showing the campenile and the driveway to be shown at alumni meetings.

Mr, Stewart recommended recordings of carillon music for use in the
campaign. :

Mr. Rice stressed the importance of field men. Both he and Mr. Shaeffer
had suggestions of individuals who might be obtained ond of firms who might loan men
for the campaign.

Mre Pierson said the many other campaigns were messing up the memorial
campaigns
