That will place it on a footing to gain favorable comparison with any Institutions in the country.” Among the foremost plans Is one to gain for Butler a high athletic rating. Employment of Harlan O.

A large acreage is needed to take care of the institution's future growth. ALUMNI PLEDGE HEARTY SUPPORT.
