Mrs. M a r g a r e t Nixon Daly, of the
class of 1872, is doing her bit, She
brought to t h e c o m m i t t e e a gift box,
containing h a n d - m a d e handkerchiefs,

and o t h e r articles. These will be
sold for the fund.
A gift of thousands is recorded
a m o n g t h e r e t u r n s to the Residence
hall campaign.
T h e thousands—22,610 to be exact—would be a fortune
in dollars. I n s t e a d they are Russian
rubles, and worth n o t h i n g except as
museum exhibits.
Behind the gift, which was accompanied by a good American five dollar bill, lies a story fit for the scenario
writer,
F o r twenty-five y e a r s or more,
Cyril Gourgenidze was a prosperous
pharmacist in a medium-sized Russian town. W h e n the great turn-over
came and Soviet rule replaced Czarism, he still maintained his place and
carrier! on his work. About three
years ago, however, he was driven
from the country by the Bolshevists,
and took refuge in Greece.
He had lost all in the Russian banishment, and was unable to regain
his status in Greece, and America
beckoned to him. T o this country he
came late last year, and he has since
worked in N e w York learning the
language and preparing to take up his
work again.
Some time ago he came to Albany
to find out if he might take the examinations next m o n t h for licensed
pharmacist.
His qualifications were
analyzed, the fact that he had applied
for citizenship and taken out first papers taken into consideration and he
was told that he might take the examinations.
His gratitude was great, and he r j turned to New York. While in Albany he had heard of the college camj paign.
Shortly after his derartur;;
there came a note an I a package enclosing 22 610 Russian rubles rind $5
I - f o r the Residence hall fund.

Still, the advantages of electricity are widely
known. But there is more to farm electrification than the installation of motors, lights and
heaters. Current must be brought to the farm,
and that means many miles cf transmission
line, supporting poles, transformers, and adequate generating equipment.

Slowly but surely the electrification of American farms is taking place. As farmers learn
how to use electricity, rural service lines reach
out farther and farther into open country.
Six million farms to be electrified! Here is a
vast and virgin field for the application of
electricity, with countless opportunities for
college-trained men in the technical and commercial phases of this undertaking. And for
the agricultural college student and others
planning a future life in rural sections, it means
a better, bigger, happier life-time now in the
making.

many tons. All outside lighting fixtures have been renovated. In the
Administration buildings several halls
