Feeling that one of the strongest
tics between a student and her col-
lege is that of class pride and loyalty,
officers of the Ex-Students Campaign
Cabinet chose as {heir co-workers
representatives of eacji o? the classes
passing through the halls of "Texas
Woman'j College since its opening in
1914. Accordingly, these represen- ,
tatives have designated then^selves as
committees from each class to work
. with their own, particular group. By
so doing, it is hoped that the same
" unified spirit which ■ led them to go
to the athletic field in-a body to root
for this team or that will be so re-
created th&t the response, fo the en-
dowment campaign will be a unified
"Yea, yea, yea!"

Each - mail brings more and more enthusiastic responses to
the 30,000 letters which have.gone out from the college during
the past eight weeks. So jolly, so full of the real T. W. C. spirit
and so alive with interest andA'itality have they all been, that the
days have seemed like a continuous homecoming. Knowing how
much everyone likes to read letters from one person to another, a
few of those which have come in through the mails are included
here. , >

„I have been a woefully long time
in replying to tAe summons which
should have brought me "to the fore
immediately since it pertained to otir
Texas Woman's College.
My contribution is small and my
only wish is that it eftuld haVe been
a hundred-fo,ld in its real worth. I
do think you as a school are doing a
noble thipg, yet it is justly dye to
the two who have made such an in-
stitution of their chosen work there.
-I would like for it to go to the Dean
Venth foundation fund.,. Do give him
■fny love, please!—Jo Powell, Texar-
kana.
MRS. HARGROVE
I am enclosing a check for $10 for
the Mary L. Hargrove Bible chair. I
am very happy" that I can haw a
small part in this great work, and I
am sure our women will respond as
they always do and "put it over in a
big way.—Mrs.- E. L. Crow, Mexia.
Enclosed find my belated check to
be applied on the endowment honor-

able to do, not knowing of the needs
of my own T. W. C. While it will
mean a sacrifice on my part to pay
my pledge, I'm only glad to make the
sacrifice for the school that has
meant a great deal to me. I shall al-

We need T. W. C. and she must go
forward.
