At that time, Edward Malinckrodt '00, donor of the Edward Mallinckrodt Chemical Laboratory, offered to give the amount of $2,000, provided that $5,000, were raised in addition. The necessary total was reached this spring, and the fund now stands at $7,133., of which $5,571.50 has been already given and $1,381.50 pledged...
