Mysterious Donor
Sends Financial Aid
All of Central's would-be detectives have a mystery to solve!
Within the last two months, an
anonymous doner from Minneapolis, Minn., has sent §60 to our
campus. The money, all §10 bills,
has been sent at two week inte-
vals. The first week, one $10 bill
was sent. Two weeks later, two
S10 bills were received from apparently the same person. The
last contribution consisted of three
$10 bills. The money has been deposited in the Grant-In-Aid Fund.
The letters are typewritten on
a plain sheet of paper containing the following sentence:
"Kindly use the enclosed money
to aid a deserving student. Thank
you." All letters have been addressed to: President of Central
Michigan College, Mt. Pleasant,
Mich.
