to , The New Oregon STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday Morning, January 15, 1929 FORWARD FUND PLANS ROWED Dr. Doney Says Time Limit Makes Necessary Final Drive for Money At the Willamette university chapel hour Monday, Dr. Carl G. Doney, president of the university, gave a brief review of the history of the Willamette university for ward movement. The drive which la being made during this month and February is for the purpose of finishing work started nearly eight years ago. In 1920 Dr. Wallace Buttrick nd Dr. Trevor Arnett of the fteneral Education Board of the Rockefeller foundation' visited Willamette university. Their fa vorable report cauaed the board to offer the university I3&u,uuu lor endowment if other friends of the ontversllty should give $650,000 It was further stipulated that the university must be free of debt Because of this offer of the Gen- oral Education board, the WUlara tte forward movement was begun la 1922. Extra Financial Burden In the drive made In 1922. over a mllflon dollars were pledged to the university in pledges payable Jn fire years, and In deferred pay ments, life endowment pledges and - estate pledges. Of this amount, approximately 1650.000 have been collected, an amount anal to that required by the con tract with the General Education hoard. Dr. Doney declared that this amount was high in compari son with the amounts collected from similar drives by other col leges. , From this amount, how ever, it was necessary to take money to rebuild Waller hall and to build a new gymnasium, be cause of the destruction of former buildings by fire. Some money was due on the balldlng of Lau sense hall, th Women's dormi tory, and on . other old debts. These added financial burdens made a total outlay of approxl mately 1270.000. To Complete jCantratt The original contract provided that the university must raise its $150,000 for endowment by Oc tober. 1928. Last fall the time was extended one year. The ob Ject of the present campaign is to obtain $300,000 in pledges to meet the contract with the Gen eral Education board and to re ceive the balance of their pledge $147,496.33. At the present time Willamette university has applied $285,500 on the contract, of which $16,500 are annuities. The anlversity has received $202, 193.67 from the General Educa tion board.
