Letter to the publishers of The World, in part: "I am very anxious that our students and teachers have the privilege of reading your publication. We are not able to subscribe for it because we have no fund with which we can do so, but in view of the fact that all would be benefited by the reading of it, and it would be widely advertised, I am writing to ask if it could be donated to us."
