The citizens of Alamance county are doing a fine thing for Elon College, whose administration building was destroyed by fire on January 18, by undertaking to raise $160,000 to aid the college in rebuilding. A mass meeting was held in Burlington the day following the fire and a committee appointed to undertake the work at once. Alamance citizens, regardless of church affiliations, are enthusiastic over the movement and invite any person interested in aiding the college to join them. C.B. Riddle, Burlington, N.C., is secretary of the committee, who whom any donation may be sent.
