THE FRESHMAN PLEDGES.

The indications of the postcard campaign predict that the Gymnasium Fund will be available in financing the Union Swimming Pool. Since 1918 and 1919 have not yet contributed, it seems reasonable to expect that they will preserve the standard set by preceding classes. Their obligation to give liberally is particularly binding, for they will be able to use the pool for three years.

As there are certain difficulties at present in organizing a canvass of the Sophomore class, it has been postponed until the call of next year. Owing to the penurious state of the average person at this period of the year, the 1919 committee has devised a system of pledges. Consequently a man of liberal inclination will not be prevented by temporary embarrassment from contributing the amount he could give at a more favorable time. The pledges will be redeemable on October first. Since the classes which contributed towards the Gymnasium Fund average about four dollars for each individual member, it seems fair that an equal amount will be promised by the class of 1919.
