...under the conditions, when we must go to our friends and the public for financial support in order to rebuild Main Hall; it is a serious matter to us to give out the impression that our loss is entirely covered by insurance. May I ask, therefore, that you kindly correct this error in your next issue? If you will oblige us by granting this request and place your correction in a prominent position in your magazine so that it will be noticed and read by most of your readers we shall greatly appreciate it and in the meantime...
