palgA hi being conducted. "
The two great objects of the cam
paign are the rebuilding of the- twrned
Chambers Hall, and the Increase of
the college, endowment In order to ex
pand the teaching of Christian educa
tion and the development of Christian
character for which the institution is
famed. Some of America's most prom
inent men bare given their endorse-.
nient of the campaign and; their sup
port to a "Greater Davidson for a
Greater Southern Church."
Among these men are Wood row Wil

ecutive committee, of Chlrstian educa
tion for the Presbyterian Church of
the United States, William L. Lingle.j

president of the Presbyterian Thelogi

"I' consider the crisis which .David

most serious of its long and useful
career. Chambers Hall must be es
tablished, lietter facilities and more
professors provided, or the efficiency,
of this obi college will lie seriously
Impaired," declared Dr, Sweets Is giv
ing his support to the campaign.
Dr. Ungle wrote Davidson campaign
officials that he would "rather see a
