In sight are other pledges that will push the local campaign past the $525,- 000 goal. $200,000 more to com-plete the Progress Fund goal will be sought outside the local com-munity. The effort has engaged the col-laboration of many workers, con-stituting a cross section of the com-munity's private, professional, and corporate interests, volunteering in the task of soliciting pledges of fi-nancial support. With Paul Allison, a Wesleyan alumnus, as general chairman assist-ed by four sub-committee chairmen, canvasing was conducted by a corps of 230 workers. Work can now be pushed for-ward on preparation of the new Science hall and the field house for university use. Definite plans can be made for converting - the old science building to other uni-versity purposes when the new sci-ence building is ready for occu-pancy. The relocation of electrical cir-cuits and other planned campus im-provement projects are assured. The fifth project, the installation of the new pipe organ in Presser auditorium, has already been com-pleted. THE i UNIVERSITYV
