fo the Faculty and Employees »f the University:

We do not need an argument as te why we should give to the
Red Cross, nor do we need to specify reasons as te hew much we can
give. You know the answers to both.

 

I have never talked to a Marine, a soldier er a sailer ‘but
who, upon every sccasion, said, "The Red Cross is tcps with me. I

have already made my contribution. It is the thing that keeps us
living."
I like this slogan: IF YOU CAN'T GO -- GIVE. And ancther

hits me right in the middle: GIVE TO THOSE WHO GAVE. Why sheuld I
say more?

The Red Cross drive started March Ist, but sinee we had
vacation, I thvught it better fcr this letter ts arrive at your desk

after the semester vacatisn is ever and you are ready te put first
things first.

To facilitate your giving we are not asking anyene to eall
upon you, but we are asking that you mail your dsnation te Roem 107
Robinscn Gymnasium. Presuaing that you will make a scntributicn, we
ate enclosing the Red Cross sticker and lapel clip, but if yeu find
it impessible to give, kindly return them te this cffice.

The faculty ond empleyees of the University have always. given
intelligently and responded most genercusly. I knew that yeu will de

your share. The students are alse being given an appertunity to make
their eontribution.

Yours for a generous and responsive gift.

Very sincerely yours,
