Until June 30

SOME YEARS AGO a message went to every Dartmouth man. It was titled: "A Part in Something That Shall Endure." This brief statement prophesied that Dartmouth will survive and carry on her work as she has in the past "through famine, pestilence and strife; surviving monarchy, growing stronger with democracy; playing the part of torch-bearers of progress and trustees of civilization through years of stress and social unrest." The message was written by Trustee William J. Minsch '07 who was then chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee. He sought to describe what it is—"intimate if intangible, satisfying if hard to describe"—that binds Dartmouth men to their college.

"A part in something that shall endure." This is a compact description of the feeling of men for the College. It says a lot in a few words. It may explain something about the work, hopes, and dreams of countless men for Dartmouth. It is flavored with the tang of New Hampshire hill winds blowing cold across Hanover Plain, or moist with spring rain down the valley.

A part in something that shall endure. This is still the best reason we know of for the wonderful support given to Dartmouth by its Alumni Fund. Just a little time is left before June 30 when the campaign ends in a year that, since Pearl Harbor, has shown Dartmouth's need for the understanding and help of the alumni to be greater than ever before.
