HOLCOMB DRIVE
TO BE LAUNCHED
Cmpaign for Fund to Support
Nebraska Graduate in Egypt
gponBoredyY. M. 0. A.
Movement to Teach Mohammedans
American Ideals Will Affect
All University Men.
The drive for funds to support C. S.
Holcomt, '17. hlB work at the
Mohammedan College in Cairo. Egypt.
Boon be on in full force at the
university campus. This campaign is
nurely a student movement and It Is
hoped that every man enrolled In the
university will avail himself of the
opportunity to help in the education
the unchristlanlzed natives of
northern Africa.
It lg planned to not only help defray
the actual expenses of the Y. M. C. A.
missionary, but to aid him In his per
sonal work. Funds are absolutely
accessary toward maintaining work
ers abroad, and students can feel that
this missionary is their missionary,
because be has been sent to a foreign
land by their representative, the Y. M
C. A. and is to be supported by their
own means.
Holcombe was an active man In Ne
braska, and at the university, and will
no doubt duplicate one hundred times
this work on the other side of the
waters. The conditions of Egypt are
disadvantageous to a missionary, but
with sufficient funds they are able to
carry their work to a successful ter
mination, and to convert many to the
saneness of American ideals.
The missionary in Cairo was foi
two years state student secretary of
the T. M. C. A., and was president of
the university organization for some
time. He was honored in his senior
rear ia school by being elected presi
dent of his class.
Similar movements for the support
of missionaries by the student body
hive been launched successfully at
Ames, Wisconsin and Indiana. Ne
braska has already seventy-two grad
uates in foreign fields, and all of
them are doing excellent work. Their
dntite take them to the cities and
educational institutions of many lands,
including Argentina, China, Japan,
India, Burma h. Egypt. Armenia and
Turkty.
