Tar Lae (aad Mt 7 na ae naan THE COST OF ONE FLYING FORTRESS! About thirty-five years ago, a few farsighted doctors together with the people of Kansas began to build an institution whose influence was destined to be felt all over the nation. The University of Kansas School of Medicine has sent its graduates into every state of the union, and their fine work has brought great honor to the school that so ably fitted them for a life of service. The respect for that institution has spread from coast to coast, and now, in these times, to the far corners of the earth. For many years, as this institution grew, it struggled to obtain new buildings in order to meet, adequately, the increased demands for greater space for patients and the need for more classrooms. As the school grew and the student body increased in number, the need for a student union building became more apparent -—-. but... . < NO FONDS! Why a student union? Where can students meet their friends? Where can they enjoy a few minutes relaxation? Where can they spend some time in physical activity? Where can they read, hear enjoyable music or indulge in the time-honored "bull-fests" so dear to the hearts of the mecical students who want to talk over lectures and clinical patients? The war has shown how physically unfit so many young men have become. Medical students have no facilities for recreation. School social gatherings for faculty and students are unsatisfactory because they are forced to take those gatherings to hotels, night clubs and public dance halls. This longed-for building will solve these problems. It will be the means of putting character and morale into a very worthy institution. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Don't say that you can't afford to help. You are helping to build a great medical school which, like your church, will pay you dividends in the future. YOU CANNCT AFFORD NOT TO HELP! You cannot afford eer to have that warm feeling that comes when you have done an unselfish thing. In the student union there will be a memorial to Dr. C. B. Francisco, who for thirty years gave his services unselfishly to crippled children. He was a respected and deeply beloved teacher at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. ; Funds obtained will be invested in War Bonds now. The amount needed is far less than the cost of just one Flying Fortress. After the war this building will take form, and. the fund that you have created, that we will lend to a Flying Fortress, will be restored to peace- time use and a Student Union shall rise to be a reminder and inspiration to those who will enjoy its benefits as they prepare themselves to serve humanity. Please make checks payable to the Francisco Memorial Fund and mail to the University of Kansas School of Medicine at Kansas City, Kansas. Back the attack and build the Student Union by subscribing to the Memorial Fund. COMMITTEE: ; DON CARLOS PEETE, M.D. Galen M. Tice, Chairman Ralph H. Major Don Carlos Peete
