Boston chapter made its $10,000 pledge at the last national convention, through its president, Mrs. Julian Ansell, to be applied toward a Boston ward in the new institution. The money handed over represents the accumulation of a small fund started sixteen years ago by Mrs. Wyner and the late Mrs. David J. Lourie.
