BUTLER GOES STEADILY ON TOWARD GOAL Progress Shown in All Lines During Year of 1925. Butler University lias gone ahead during the year 1925 on the theory that a foundation must be built slowly and surely. The institution in planning for more than the immediate future. It looks ahead for a century or more and endeavors to visualize the educational problems of that day. With that in mind It tries to build so surely now that there will be no necessity for changes later Such a plan' does not contemplate mushroom growth or the hasty reaching of decisions. The year has been marked with progress for Butler in every line, but it has not been progress of the spectacular kind. No effort has been made to make a record for speed. With the thought of the enduring qualities that its official action must have, the Butler authorities have gone about their plans for the new institution quietly and conservatively. They look back, at the close of the year, satisfied with the achievements of the school in a material, educational and spiritual way, confident that the future is unfolding brighter than ever before and that the program for Butler will not be delayed much longer. The year 1925 opened wdth a gift to Butler of $25,000 from William C. Smith, secretary-treasurer of the Marion County Construction Company. He spoke of his gift as a New Year’s gi-eeting. In February announcement -was made that the Butler band had become a reality, that J. B. Vandaworker, director of the Indianapolis News newsboys band, would also conduct the Butler band and that uniforms for the members of the university band would be furnished by the alumni. Band work was reqognized as a part of collegiate courses

and arrangements made for credits to those who completed such studies in a satisfactory manner. Founders’ day was celebrated in February, with Dr. Charles Hubbard Judd of Chicago University as the chief speaker. An increase in enrollment during the month brought the total for to 1,478 at that time. Offer by Irwin It was during February that William G. Irwin and his sister, Mrs. Z. T. Sweeney, both of Columbus, Ind.. offered the Butler building fund $390,000, providing an 1 additional $700,000 was pledged by the end of the year. Irwin fend Mrs. Sweeney previously had made liberal contributions to the university, and Irwin is the donor of the athletic field. His father. Joseph I. Irwin, now dead, was a substantial contributor to Butler throughout his life, and with the offer of $.300,000 made early in the year the actual and prospective benefactions from the Irwin family were brought to a total greater than $600,000. It was found impossible to raise the entire amount upon which the offer of Irwin and Mrs. Sweeney was conditioned, so they have granted an extension in time, fend the campaign for additional funds for the Butler buildings at Fairview will be continued.^, John J. Appel, Indianapolis real estate operator, gave the university $15,000 In February. He was the first man to advance SI,OOO toward the purchase of Fairview Park, the beautiful wooded tract where the new Butler will be built. In March definite plans for the new Butler College of Religion were announced by Frederick D. Kershner, dean of the school. An ambitious program for the College of Religion was undertaken, with an adequate faculty alive to the needs of the times. Announcement also was made that the College of Religion building at Fairview would be one of the first to be erected and that it would cost not less than $350,000. It was decided that the chief appeal for funds for this building would be mp.de to members of the Disciples of Christ Church throughout the State. The freshmen made plans to do the'r bit toward raising necessary funds for the university in April. A campaign to that end was conducted

and a comfortable sum realized In pledges. During the month a list of students to recede degrees was announced. John W. Atherton, financial secretary of Butler, made known that $367,999 had been paid in by those who had made pledges to the school. At Church Convention One of the important things done in connection with Butler during the year was at Marion, in May, when the Disciples of Christ held their State convention. Resolutions weie adopted- at that time, placing the church squarely behind the Butler expansion program, expressing confidence in the men who had formulated the program and offering financial as well as moral and spiritual support to the undertaking. In May the Butler Commerce Club decided to make an industrial survey of yidlanapolis and see what could bo done toward giving the school an opportunity to be of greater usefulness to the community. Honor day exercises were held in May, with Dr. D. M. Edwards, president of Earlham College, as the speaker. Clarence L. Goodwin of Greensburg, Pa. is,ho had given Butler $35,000 previously, urged greater support on the part of Indianapolis and vicinity. He cited the ease with which some of the eastern educational projects had been financed. Actual work on the campus at Fairview was undertaken In June, when the city began grading for a system of boulevards, to be built by the city, and which will give wide approaches to the new institution site from every direction. It was during June that Arthur R. Baxter, president and general man-
