The Bolles memorial fund has already been contributed to largely enough to prove that it meets with general favor. Four subscriptions, amounting to one hundred dollars, have been received and active measures are being taken to give graduates and undergraduates every chance to subscribe. Boxes have been placed just inside the door of Memorial Hall and very near the door of the Foxcroft Club; in these boxes may be placed subscriptions in coin which cannot conveniently sent by mail. We would emphasize again the fact that no subscription is too small to be a worthy part of the fund. The main point is that the subscriptions may be general and spontaneous. The beauty of such a fund is that it is not forced, it is not a contribution which has an element of duty in it. No one ought to contribute to this fund who is not moved to do so by his own feeling for Mr. Bolles. That the fund may be of this free, spontaneous nature, we do not urge men to subscribe to it. The opportunity for subscribing must now be pretty well understood and it is each man's personal affair from this time whether or no he subscribes. Collections from the boxes at Memorial and the Foxcroft Club will be made each day after dinner and reports on the amounts of the subscriptions will be made every few days.
