Dickman to Head U S A Campaign for Endowment
Dr J W Dickman of Fayette has been named general chairman for the sustaining fund drive to perpetuate Upper Iowa University. He notes the campaign aims to raise funds without hardship to supporters as the number of higher learning institutions grows nationwide. The 1928 College Blue Book shows 128 more universities and colleges since 1920, with enrollments rising faster than population. Population in 17 northeast Iowa counties served by Upper Iowa University has increased over 4 000 since 1920. Independent schools have merged in recent years.
