in Hoc Signo Vinces

Today’s issue of The College News,
by courtesy of the undergraduates, is
edited and published by the alumnae in
behalf of the Faculty Two Milion Dol-
lar Campaign for Salaries. With such
unity of spirit as is typified in the very
printing of these words, Bryn Mawr en-
ters the field to defend her standards by
doubling her present endowment.

It is by far the greatest undertaking
which has fallen upon the college since
its foundation in 1884, There is as much
hazzard to be faced as in those pioneer
days. Then it was a feat of creation;
now it is a struggle to save the soul of
the college. Bryn Mawr will cease to be
Bryn Mawr if its quality of education
deteriorates.

President Thomas, as her life work,
has made the college what it is. The
college has formed the character and
ability of its alumnae. The time has
come when the alumnae in their turn
must give in thought and time and
wealth what they owe in gratitude and
loyalty.

The trustees of the college, the fac-
ulty, the executives and the staff may all
resign, severing their last connection
here, but the alumnae are Bryn Mawr.
They must take upon themselves the
final responsibility for raising the en-
dowment.

The annual meeting and round table
this week-end is a dedication to the task
which lies ahead. Scarcely more than
250 of the 4000 who owe allegiance to
Bryn Mawr will be able to be present.
But by mail and personal contact each
one of them will be brought into the
army of women who, wherever they are,
this year will show their appreciation
and their loyalty to the. college.
