Regarding the new building for the lady students, the history of {this gift is interesting. When Dr. George A. Huntley was in America on furlough two years ago he met a gentleman and his wife who are deeply interested in mission work. He told them about Shanghai College as a place of training for Christian leaders, and they at once offered to put up a new dormie tory. The money, $60,000 Mex. was cabled over, and in less than 12 months the building was put up and fully occupied by students.
The donors were so well pleased with their investment that when Dr. Huntley met them again they were ready to make another contribution. The work of co-education, recently started at Shanghai College, was mentioned and when Dr. Huntley suggested that $40,000 was needed to put up a_ suitable (building for the young women's dormitory, the donors themselves uncreased the figures to G.$50,000.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the gift is the fact that the donors do not want Shanghai College to know who has given the money.
President White, in announcing the gift in the chapel the other morning, referred again to his faith in the need for ce-education in China, and spoke with pride of the fact that Shanghaj College could claim to be the leader in this enterprise.
