The Gavelyte, December 1914

14 TIIE GAVELYTE The Alumni Endowment. (By S. C. Wright, Financial Secretary.) Som of the Alumni of 'Cedarville icollege have stated that they did not feel disposed to contribute to the Alumni 'Chair Fund unless a majority of the Alumni subscribed to the fund. This attitude is right or wrong-just as one views the matter. Of course, all con– tributors would feel better if they knew that seventy-five per cent of the Alumni were interested in the proposition sufficiently to h~ve a few dollars invested in the fund. On the other hand the duty of an individual is not fixed or mea"ured by what another may or may not do. Today, as never before, Christian people are giving careful thought to their yearly appropriation to benevolences and to the objects for which they contribute. I believe that it is a matter that should be set– tled by the individual. Is the object a worthy one? Is it practicable? How much can I invest in it? Settle these questions and any others that may suggest themselves and then act on your own judgment. As was stated in a former article, this movement was inaugurated in 1910. Since then contributions have been made until now the total amount of cash on deposit is $332.82. I have often thought that a list of those who have subscribed to this found should 1be published. I have had many inquiries as to whom the co!ltributors are. Some have suggeste,d. that the list be published. 1 can see no harm in doing so. Therefore is follows: June 24, 1911, Rev. Wm. Waide ............... $ 3.00 June 30, 1911, Rev. C. A. Young. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21.00 Aug. 30, 1911, Rev.
