Men students have given $1,53G.48 to ward their goal of $2,600, while fac ulty subscriptions total $267.50, their aim being set at $l,OOO. Confidence was expressed by the campaign leaders that the support of the student body, essential in such a canvass, would insure the reaching of 4hc goal.

Quakers have long, been accepted as sincere in ob jecting to military training. But to put Methodists in the same class would be to make eligible for cxempr tion the largest Protestant denomi nation in the country.” When interviewed concerning the case, Col. Russell V. Venable, head of the' department of military science and tactics, refused to comment. In the Morrill act of 1862, which made compulsory the. inclusion of military training in the curricula of land grant colleges, there is no clause requiring all students to take this training. . It -merely states that this training shall be offered.
