Erection of New Germanic Museum

Through an additional gift of $100,000 by Mr. Adolphus Busch, of St. Louis, the erection of the proposed new building for the Germanic Museum is assured. A site has already been acquired by the Corporation at the corner of Divinity avenue and Kirkland street. Plans for the building are now being drawn by a German architect, and when completed are to be submitted to the Corporation for approval.

The total amount subscribed so far is $290,000, of which Mr. Busch has given $250.000; $10,000 is the result of Miss Maude Adams's presentation of "Joan of Are" in the Stadium last June. "The Emperor William Fund," which was started several years ago, is at present $30,000, completing the total mentioned above.
