COLLEGE CHEST FUND LAST YEAR OF $5700
DECEMBER 1926

The second year of the College Chest with its combined contributions to the different causes aided by undergraduate subscription was successful in large measure even though marred by non-payment of many pledges. Preventing, as it does, the conducting of separate drives and allowing a division of funds proportionate to the importance of the work to be accomplished the chest system has proved a decided improvement over the old method. Last year undergraduate contributions amounting to $5700 were divided among six organizations. More than $7500 was collected in cash and pledges during the drive. Difference between the above amounts is entirely due to nonpayment of pledges.

Following are the disbursements from the chest: Red Cross $1000 Dartmouth-in-China 1 Near East Colleges 500 Student Friendship Fund 900 Atlanta University Dartmouth Christian Assoc. 2100 Total $5700
