The point stressed in the letter was the fact that only League members would have access to the privileges "which the building when finished will entail, and that the membership fee will be raised after the intensive drive is over. The present membership fee is only $50 and the $8,500 which has come into the office as the result of this letter represents 170 new alumnae *members. 1Mr. W. D. Henderson, executive secretary of the alumnae council, stat- ed that the response to this letter was one of the most encouraging things that had happened during the cam- paign. "After all," she added, "it is the active membership that will keep the League alive and growing, a ben- efit to its members and to those who come in contact with it." As the last of these letters were not sent out until last Saturday, more life membership pledges- are coming in every day and an be expected to con- tinue for another week or more.
