—Building Fund

Dear Sir,—As a graduate of many years' standing (alas) I suggest that your executive should circularise all ex-students who can be traced, requesting donations, The tracing may, in some cases, be a little difficult; for some have found their way into difficult spots. Others, however, in spite of having reached maturity under the gentle influence of a banner that asserts "Saplentia magis auro desideranda" (Honours Latin students will understand this, I think) have become wealthy.

Most ex-students would, I think, appreciate the opportunity to contribute and some would make substantial contributions.

Certainly few would ever send a donation without being asked.

I suggest a circular letter putting the case forcefully and making a courteous request. Kind regards,
