THE MORRILL ALLEN GALLAGHER FUND

From Philip B. ("Ike") Paul '06, THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE has received the following information in regard to the Morrill Allen Gallagher Fund.

In the spring of 1921 Mrs. Charles T. Gallagher established the fund in memory of her son "Gig" Gallagher '06, who died in 1920.

With the approval of the Trustees of the Dartmouth Educational Association Mrs. Gallagher made a gift to the principal of this Fund of four one thousand dollar liberty bonds, it being her intention to make later further gifts to both principal and income.

The income from this fund is loaned to undergraduates whose applications have been approved by authorities in Hanover and the Trustees of the Dartmouth Educational Association on notes which do not bear interest until after the borrower has graduated from or left the College.

Solicitation for contributions to the income of this fund to date have been practically confined to the members of 1906 whose annual contributions total from $300 to $500 but many inquiries from alumni in other classes seem to indicate that a large number of alumni would welcome an opportunity to contribute to the worthy cause of aiding undergraduates while at the same time perpetuating Gig's memory.

This fund offers an opportunity to the individual alumnus whose circumstances do not permit of his making a large donation, to accomplish a great deal of good with the gift of a small sum. For example, to establish a scholarship that would give $100 per annum a gift of approximately $2000 would be necessary, yet through the income of this fund ten alumni contributing $10 per annum, or five contributing $20, make possible this loan of $100 to an undergraduate, and at the same time assure a future loan of this amount when the original loan shall have been repaid.

Dartmouth College is a harder place to enter and stay in than it was when most of the living alumni were undergraduates and the alumnus who was forced to earn a part of his expenses as an undergraduate will realize that, with a student body of close to 2000 men, it is increasingly difficult for the relatively poor man to earn his way through college as the opportunities for self help do not increase in direct ratio to the size of college.

Contributions should be mailed to the Treasurer of the Dartmouth College Educational Fund, Weld A. Rollins, Shawmut National Bank Building, Boston, and checks should be made out to Morrill Allen Gallagher Fund. Farther information can be obtained from Mr. Paul, 165 Hudson Street, N. Y. C.
