WORK ON PROPOSED MEMORIAL CHAPEL TO BE STARTED SOON

Plans are now being drawn for the new War Memorial Chapel, although some $200,000 is still needed to reach the goal of $1,000,000. Work will be started some time this spring it is expected.

The drive for funds has practically ceased during the past year, according to Allston Burr '89, chairman of the War Memorial Church Campaign. On January 7 last year $725,209 had been pledged to the fund, while up to last night but $805,000 was in hand.

Since the Corporation had unanimously endorsed the erection of a University Church, though not subscribing to it, the Committee decided to go ahead with the money that has already been received. It is rumored that the old Fogg Museum as well as Appleton Chapel will be torn down to make room for the Memorial, but the architects, who are Coolidge, Abbott, Shepley, and Bullfinch of Boston, refused to divulge definitely the new chapel's location.
