1937
The Wampum Wheelhorses are at full gallop. A finer bunch of thoroughbreds, you've never seen. With a few breaks they'll lead us far beyond our past records, far beyond even Mort Berkowitz' estimates. They are the men who come through each year and send their FUND contributions in promptly—and they increase the amount of their gift year by year!

Bill Sayre, finishing work at Yale Law, said this: "Here at Yale the students are strongly pro-British, but there the similarity to general public opinion stops. They demand preparedness to an extent which cannot be exaggerated .... with this, however, goes an even stronger feeling that we should not allow ourselves to be drawn into a war with Germany The ability of the college man to sniff-out British propaganda and to weigh it as such has given me new faith in a 'college education'. The draft has proved the greatest single force in college life. Men are 'enjoying life' now in many unconstructive ways."
