Lord Beaverbrook offers residential property for women's residence

Offer made to Mrs. R.D. Baird, Presidence of the Alumnae Society, of a residential property called the "Bank of Montreal house." Conditions of the gift are that money must be raised to renovate and furnish the building suitably. Mrs. Baird referred to the determination of the Alumnae to provide a residence, and that the late Ellen F. Peake (Class of 1892) had bequeathed $3,000 for a residence fund, which might enable the Alumnae to accept Lord Beaverbrook's offer (AN 3.4: 7).
