Give War Bonds to Field House Drive

Progress is steadily and surely being made in the campaign for funds for a new fi eld hou e for U.D . T o quote from a letter recently received from the fa ther of Ens. Ralph Rohner of Akron, 0 ., by Father Renneker: "T he Field H ou e news has a ttracted Ralph's attention, and he has written to me to take orne money from his savings accoun t and end it on to you so that he too would have a share in this undertaking. H e al o send his be t wi he to you."

The committee also reports that orne alumni are donating war bonds

to the d rive. With the Seven th War Loan drive in progress alumni can help both their country and their alma mater by buying a bond a11d contribu ting it to the campaio;n for a more complete and useful Univer-ity of Dayton.

396 LOYAL ALUMNI CONTRIBUTE DUES

Earl y in M arch dues statements were sent to all alumni. At present writing 396 have responded with dues and special contributions netting $1850.00 - a slightly better record than that reached at this time in 1944.

We are deeply 11;ra teful for this generous response. This active inter­est, this financial and moral support makes possible the continuation of the Association, the gradual development of its projects, the publication of THE ALU MNU S. We confidently hope that the list of 1945 contribu tors may serve as a reminder to those who have laid aside the first notice for future consideration to think of the "old school on the hill" and help make the year 1945, "the be t ever" in the annals of the Alumni Association .
