Pearsons, of Chi- cago, who for several years had been so generously relieving the pecuniary necessities of so many col- leges in the AVest. Therefore interviews were sought, with efforts made to interest him in Carle- ton's case, but for a long time apparently without result. For months encouragement not the least came from that quarter. Finally, however, during a brief interview. Dr. Pearsons put abruptly this significant question to President Strong : " Do you think you could raise $100,000?..." "I can try, sir," was the response. Then followed a definite promise of $50,000, on condition that twice that amount should be secured elsewhere in valid pledges, on or before January i, 1901, With this challenge made, of course action in keeping was taken at the soonest. Nothing could be done be- fore commencement; but within a few weeks one- half the amount required had been pledged; and also half of the $50,000, promised had been paid.
In September a conference of the friends of the college was held in Northfield to canvass the criti- cal situation, closing with this as the watchword from the lips of the leader, " We must get the $50,- 000 by January i," though the ruling conviction was that the effort was well nigh certain to fail; THE NEW CENTURY 28S and how success could be achieved was past imagin- ing.
