REPORT OF THE ALUMNI FUND, JUNE 30, 1921
The preliminary report of the 1921 Alumni Fund Committee, issued June 30, shows a total of $68,480.77 contributed by 3,272 alumni and non-graduates. In his letter to class agents, Thomas W. Streeter '04, Chairman of the Committee, states that these figures constitute "a record both as to contributors and number of "contributors."
The quota this year was $75,000, or 25% more than last year, and the deficiency of about 6,520, or 9%, may with some justice be ascribed to the severity of the business depression through which the country has been passing.
This year the contributors in the last sixty classes numbered 57.1% of the graduates listed in those classes. Last year the percentage was 50.6%. Mr. Streeter writes: "I know of no other college where such a large percentage of alumni testify to their loyalty by making annual contributions towards its support. It is the dream of your Fund Committee to see the time when 75% of the alumni are listed each year as contributors to the Fund. Eight classes had that fine record of accomplishment this year, '64, '71, '87, 96, '00, '02, '11, and '12.
