All-Bengal Das Memorial

An appeal for funds for an All-Bengal Das Memorial has been issued under the signature of prominent men of all parties, and no party. It is proposed that the memorial should take the form of a hospital for women, irrespective of caste or creed and an institution for the training of nurses, both to be located in the Deshbandhu’s mansion at Russa Road. The amount required is ten lakhs of rupees—certainly not an extravagant sum for such a purpose. Sir Rajendranath Mukherjee of No. 7. Harington Street, Calcutta, has patriotically accepted the office of Treasurer. We strongly support the appeal and hope there will be a quick and more than adequate response,

As the objects of the proposed institutions are entirely non-political, nothing stands in the way of Government servants and Europeans contributing to its funds.
