The Henry Phipps Institute of. the University of Pennsylvania This is the story of The Henry Phipps Institute, told you because your money is asked to keep it open after May 1, when its treasury will be empty. The request entitles you to know the "where," "what" and "why" of this Philadelphia institution. Without your money, the doors of the Institute will have to be closed on May 1 and The Phipps Institute is one of but n. scant half dozen such in the world. It is a fighting outpost in civilization's battle against tuberculosis the Great White Plague. Where At 7th and Lombard Sts; What A modern, 5-story brick equipped for a laboratory, hospital and Henry Phipps. structure designed, built and clinic at a cost of ,$225,000 by Why 17 years ago, Mr. Phipps foresawHhe ultimate wiping out of tuberculosis through scientific research by experts who should discover a method of prevention, or a cure. So he founded "for study, treatment and prevention of tuberculosis" The Henry Phipps Institute. He trans ferred control,' in 1910, to the University of Pennsylvania. This was to ensure the Institute's standing, and guarantee permanance of wise control. , i The Crisis On transferring control, Mr. Phipps agreed to support the Institute for a stipulated period. This he did, giving $54,000 a year. The term expired in 1919. Since, the wolf has been at the door. The University trustees "see no prospect of being able to support the work of The Henry Phipps Institute from the funds at present available." It is the understanding of the Phipps family that Henry Phipps believed his work ended when he had founded the Institute and financed it past the swaddling clothes stage. They understand he believed the public should and would support during its maturity the research work needed to solve the tuberculosis problem. The Phipps' Generosity It seems that public support ultimately will take the form of an endowment. The family of Henry Phipps gen erously promises to contribute $500,000 toward an endowment, contingent upon a total of $3,000,000 being subscribed. When this gift will become available is, of course, problematical. Why the $100,000 After May 1, unless you help, the Institute will be unable to pay even its lighting bills. For current expenses this and next year $100,000 is imperatively needed. To Be Continued In subsequent "ads," you will be told more about The Phipps Institute. Read and INVEST. It really is an investment, not a gift that is asked an invest ment in health. Dividends arc certain. They will be paid in life and health. Perhaps they will come to you, possibly to your family. They may go to a friend, but one tiling is certain dividends will be paid." i I i i Make Check I Payable tn j Drawn Bras. & Co. II A lircd Stengel, o. II. Ludington 13U1S C. MABEIItA F.
