And for ways and means,

Trust us, there’s nothing cleverer than a woman.

And as for diplomacy, they’ll be hard indeed

To cheat—they know too many tricks themselves.

Ecclesiazusæ.

To the Editors of the Archive:

All of your readers ought to feel interested in the erection of the proposed new building which you mentioned in the December number of the Archive. No one will question the necessity of such a building. The only trouble now arises from a lack of funds. This seems strange when we look over the list of Alumni, who could furnish the money with little, if any, inconvenience to themselves. There are one hundred Trinity graduates in North Carolina to-day who could give fifty dollars without having to borrow the money. We are indebted to our Alma Mater for a great measure of our success, and I think we have at this peculiar time a rare opportunity of making a substantial demonstration of our gratitude. I offer this plan to your readers: Let one hundred Alumni send in their names and pledge themselves to the amount of fifty dollars, to be paid as soon as the hundredth man’s name is received. I am ready to give my name.

Yours very truly,
