The Oglethorpe campaign commit tee started work Wednesday morning with the knowledge that more than 10 per rent of the total requisite amount has been raised $26,177, which mark was reached by the time for the regular noonday luncheon Tuesday at the Piedmont Hotel, where the various committees reported $7,277 as their mornings work. The largest individual subscriptions were made by John W. Grant and John F. Kiser, who each gave $1,000 The work of the committees at present is being done principally on the list of former subscriptions made years ago to an old university proj ect that was not carried out. Reports on these former subscribers varied widely . Some workers said they were- finding a good deal of trouble in clearing up misconceptions among the former subscribers as to the present plan, while others found them ready and eager to give to the cause. Sev eral committees reported that they had not met with a single refusal, and that many’ subscribers were in creasing, and in some cases doubling their first subscription. After the old list has been thor oughly canvassed the city is to be divided Into territorial sections, one of which will he assigned to each committee, so that practically every one in Atlanta may be given an op portunity to subscribe to the Ogle thorpe fund. "A widespread and really public in terest in this great plan is what we are seeking." said Ivan E. Allen, chairman of the campaign committee, "and the subscriptions of $10, $lf>, $25 and upwards are tributes to the way in which the proposition is tak ing hold of the whole city.” It was repeated at the luncheon meeting Tuesday that Atlanta was, ip a measure, on parade in the matter of the campaign. "Houston and Memphis are watch ing this campaign with interest." one worker stated, "and if Atlanta doesn’t take advantage of this chance one of them will—and there are other cities, too, that are awaiting with Interest the outcome of this matter."

Va.. writes that he is tremen dously interested in the establishment of Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, and has every faith in Atlanta doing her full share nobly. "I hope that you are going to have a great campaign. I am deeply in terested and want to see you win in record time. God bless you in this wonderful undertaking. We must not and can not fail.” David Hannah, a capitalist and large realty operator of Houston. Texas, subscribed $1,000 gladly, and he writes Dr. Jacobs: "I have been watching with muon interest the steady advance toward success of the re-establishment of Oglethorpe University in your city. It seems to me. however, that you have been too modest in asking your city to subscribe the amount of only $250,000. As a pure business prop osition the establishment of such .in Institution would be worth many times this amount to the merchants alone, from the very date it Is opened. 1 feel that the task of raising su h a small amount should be an easy one in a city so public spirited as yours.” B,ockefeller Finds a Religion in Sunlight CLEVELAND, T>ec. 3.— "Perpetual sunlight, equally distributed. would make churches unnecessary,” said John D.
