May Lose Large Sum
TO PLAN ENDOWMENT FUND
An annual deficit of linlf n million
dollars may be mused t the University
at Pennsylvania by the resignation o
Dr. Edftae ,Fabs Smith, as provost, to
take affect June 30, Jt became known
todajv
..Means of -meeting this annual loss Trill
he disqussW .tomorrow at WilnliiRton.
Bel., at' a mrotinc of the Associated
Pennsylvania Clubs.
iJoctor smith personally has obtained
ffnM (hi, SfnfA T Alolnhipa n Vinlf tnlllinn
I dollars each jrar to help meet the ex
penses of the University He was able
to persuade the lawmakers of the state
to apportion this sum with no aid from
the trustees or other University or-
j ganization.
Alumni say this sum for wlmli Mr.
Smith accounted annually must be re
placed. When Doctor Smith became provost
in 1911 it was with the understand
ing that he have no worries over
. finnnnps. Hut thn rnnid crow th of the
I University and the greatly increasing
hudgets necessary maue it imperative
' that financial aid was needed. Doctor
Smith came to the rescue.
The iiseemblins of u .f2ri.000.000 or
S30,0tJO,000 fund for endowment pur
poses is to be one plan that will be
presented before the 1000 nlumni who
meet at "Wilmington It is proposed
that, rather than nttempt to continue
; legislative apportionments to tne lui-
! "varsity, prominent and wealthy grad
j uatcs, Philadelphia's and 1'cnnsyl
'vanians b appealed i as are the
alumni of all other large eastern
)chools. It is taid that half the amount
desired for the endowment fund will be
adequate to meet Penn's annual deficit
' of more than $300,000.
1 For several jears a campaign for an
1 adequate endowment fund has been ad
vocated by Pennsylvania alumni. With
the announced retirement of Provost
Smith immediate action is necessary.
The resicnation of Doctor Smith will
precipitate the comentidn into several
other important discussions, the com
mittee annouueed todaj. Among them
will be the discussion of possible .suc
cessors to Doctor Smith. It is un
derstood that an effort vill be made
to recommend an alumnus for this posi
tion. Dr. J. Xorman, Henry, chairman of
the committee, announces that Provost
Smith has consented to speak at the
banquet at the Belleuio-Stratford Sat
urday night, follow iug the two days'
convention at "Wilmington.
Other speakers will be John. W.
Ilcisman, the new football coach; Dr.

sity council on athletics: Judge John

What You File Today
Can you Find Tomorrow?
A VERAGE filing methods often put papers
C-- away so scientifically an expert is puzzled
to find them.
The Amberg Plan is so simple that anyone who
knows the A, B, C'scan firid a filed record in any
emergency. There is only one logical place to
file or find in an Amberg planned file. Good filing
distribution ends persistent misfiling, lost records,
lost time and wasted effort.
The Law of Correspondence permits control of
distribution without help from unnecessary coding
and other memory taxing complexities. This
law is founded on a masterlist of 205,920 names
whose proportion of occurrence in business has
been proved 99Yz fo constant. It is the basis of.
the Amberg Plan.
Individualizing the Law of Correspondence to
your business, by means of over half a century of
Amberg experience in more than 75,000 filing
installations, gives you the Amberg Plan.
Ask Amberg to tell you howou canadopt tliis plan
immediately -without disturbing your routine.
