This movement was instigated by Wesleyan's announcement that it would soon cease admitting women, thus making it more difficult than ever for Connecticut girls to get a college education. The year 1911 marks the second im- portant date in the hister™ of the college when the board of incorporators was or- ganized. New London’s municipal gift of $50,000 toward a site in that ecity; the granting of the rtate charter; with the receipt of $135,000 as a gift from the citizens of New Londen; grant of 50 acres of land from one donor;: and the receipt of an endowment fund of $1,000,000 from Morton F. Plant made the colleg€ a reality in the minds of the founders. The apointment of President Sykes made in 1913 with a further gift of two $60,- 000 dormitories from Mr. Plant in the same year made it possible to break ground for building. Connecticut Colege was then in posession of 340 acres of land. ‘When the formal opening of the college was celebrated in 1915 Connecticut showed a total of 132 students enrolled. ‘With the inauguration of President Marshall in 1917 and the First Annual Commencement in 1919, Connecticut College brings its higtory to date with the launching of the campaign for the $2,000,000 Endowment and Maintenance Fund in 1921. The realization of this will determine its future history. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHUECH LETTER TO COUNTY ASSN.
