Alumni Fund Green Derby Contests
A competitive stimulus to the classes in connection with the Alumni Fund is provided by the Green Derby contests in three groups of contemporary classes, with weekly rankings on the basis of the combined per cent of graduates contributing and per cent of objective. This ranking is the most significant criterion of all-round accomplishment. It is possible to make a good showing on per cent of objective with a few large gifts but without broad participation of the class, and conversely a good showing on per cent of contributors may be made by emphasizing participation only without regard to amount. The combined Green Derby ranking strikes a balance between the two types of achievement.
All figures are as of May 23, 1938. The classes of 1900 and 1919, both operating on special class plans, are not included until the end of the campaign. Last year's winners were 1901 in Group A, 1921 in Group B, and 1926 in Group C.
