Milbank Pledge For Fund Drive Increased by 500000
Milbank Memorial Fund disclosed that a prior anonymous donation of 250000 was given toward Barnard's expansion. The fund offers to add 500000 if by June 1967 matched against the original Milbank and Altschel pledges totaling 1 million. The money backs student center and science building with a planned 8.1 million project. Abbott said bids from contractors reached 17 percent of the pool while final bids and negotiations continue this week. Construction could resume this month with a goal of fall 1963 completion, with phased work and a separate firm handling the second phase. A deliberate delay aims to minimize class disruption from blasting and potential plumbing strikes.
