All^r Nothing Campaign Launched I Completely Outplayed
' ' ^**^">pf to Halt Hurricanes
Elon’s greatest handicap for
years has been the heavy debt
which has long burdened the col
lege. The “All or Nothing Cam
paign" wiiich was launched last
month on Founder's Day will, it is
hoped, clear the books and allow
an advancement never before pos
sible.
The debt of $105,000, which has
been reduced from $768,000 since
construction of buildings after the
1935, was incured mainly in the
fire in 1923. The debt has been
reduced by using the interest from |
the college’s endowment fund of
$476,902.08 and by other meas
ures. The creditors also hold a
deed of trust to all property of the
college. Elon has been supported
only by fees received from the
students and contributions from
the churches.
The “All or Nothing Campaign”
has as its object the complete
elimination of this debt. Volun
tary unpaid workers will person
ally canvass every alumnus of the
college, every church member,
and every other interested friend.
If the whole amount is not con
tributed by July 1, 1942, all
pledges will be void, and all do
nations will be returned. It is
really an “all or nothing” cam
paign.
For students of Elon, this cam
paign should be of vital interest,
for with the payment of the debt, i
the endowment income of ten
thousand dollars per year could
be used for the improvement of
the college. New buildings could
be added, other projects complet
ed, growth would be accelerated,
and many other deficiences long
noted would be supplied. It is felt
by Dr. Smith and other officials
that this campaign introduces a
time of unusual advancement and
hope for Elon.
The campaign also will empha
size the achievements reached by
the college even under its handi
cap. Elon’s scholastic record will
