With an (even $140,000 subscribed,
the ten-day campaign for a fund to
rebuild Krowell Hall in Kairacres
came to a close at the luncheon at
the Hotel Fontene4le.
Though the J250.0OO mark orig
inally :et was not reached during the
ten-day campaign, it was announced
by Chairman Kennedy of the com
mittee that Brownell Hall would be
built. The trustees are confident of
being thle to obtain subscriptions to
bring the sum up to atleast $200,000
by spring, when the work on the
building is expected to start. When
the $200,000 is raised the building
work is to begin, for the ground was
given conditional upon the expendi
ture of $200,000 for the buildings, and
some of the larger subscriptions
were made with that understanding.
Ten Days' Total.
When the subscriptions for the day
had been officially reported, the total
for the ten days read, $138,993.

Chairman Kennedy congratulated
all the workers on the success of the
campaign, for, he said, "You mustn't
feel that you haven't succeeded. You
have succeeded and Brownell Hall
will be built."
Bishop A. U Williams expressed his
personal gratitude to all for the splen
did way they had assisted in the work
of raising the funds, and declared, "If
anything more is necessary I will give
my personal check for the balance
upon the hank of faith, and I have
never known that bank to fail."
As Miss Marion Towle captained
the team bringing in the highest sub

for the day went to her, and her
father, John W. Towle, was appointed
to carry it to her.

An Ideal Christmas Gift
that you can give only this
Christmas never again
HAVE you thought of the new Encyclopaedia Britannica, printed
on beautiful India paper, as a gift? There are half a dozen
persons (including yourself and some of the family) for whom this
great library of knowledge would be a superb present.
Consider what a day-after-day source of pleasure and profit the
Britannica would be. Realize how wonderfully light and inviting-to-read
the famous India paper makes it.
This is a gift you must make noil' or never. You will not have
this chance another Christmas (nor for very much longer) because
the few sets of the Britannica still unsold are printed on
the last genuine India paper
that could be obtained
before the war cut off the supply of raw material (flax) out of which
this thin-nnd-tough paper is manufactured. Not only is this the last
India paper which could be procured for the printing of the Britannica,
but it will be years after the war ends before India papeif can be
produced in sizable quantities.
Therefore, the remaining sets are the last printed on India paper
that can be offered. They will not last long you must act quickly to
make sure of getting a set
