One of these has made his very generous gift conditional upon the raising of the complete amount needed; the other has contributed his no less generous if smaller donation in cash.

Included in the operating expenses, however, are enrolled items amounting to approximately another fourth of the total sum which are paid indirectly or directly by the students in the form of rent, food bills, and miscellaneous charges.
