Despite the light rainfall which
kept a number of prospective buyers
indoors, the second day's Liberty
to campaign was productive of ex
cellent results. During the morning
subscriptions for $25,750 were made,
making a total of $184,050 to date.
When the first lights at the base of
(WStatue of Liberty were lighted last
night, they showed a total of $158,300
for the first day's work.
The rain delayed the day's sched
ule- slightly. but not enough to make
any serious difference in the work
planned for the week. The sales force
is .so large and works so rapidiy and
efficiently that the committee has
been able to dispose of more sales
dally than were contemplated. The
work progressed so rapidly yesterday
that the committee issued a state
{pent urging all buyers to visit head
quarters immediately and make their
subscriptions.
^The same splendid feeling evi
dcnced yesterday prevailed again to
day. Men invited to call at head
quarters today appeared at the sehed

In the county to send in lists of the
namta of men from their .community

Discussed at Afternoqn
Session.
The state board of regents met in
their room at the university this
morning and devoted the entire.fore
noon session to the transaction of
various routine business matters.
When the afternoon session started
at 2 o'clock, it was found necessary
to adjotirri to a larger room because
of the presence of approximately' 25
contractors from a number of cities
who had submitted bids for .the erec
tion of a new chemistry hall.
It was the expectation of the re-
gents that they would be able' to open'
and examine all the bids at the after
noon session and conclude the day's
business with the awarding, of con
tracts for the construction work.
Several other matters, of probably
more far-reaching importance, may
come before the board tomorrow, a!rid
