The Dartmouth Christian Association is conducting a vigorous campaign for funds to support the work which is just beginning in Mardin, Turkey. R. W. Barstow '13, has already been there two years, and is soon to return, after completing his work in a theological school in this country. Edward Wheelock Jahn Ex-'14, „a lineal descendant of Eleazar Wheelock, is now there, and it is for his support that funds are now being solicited.
