1933
When we read this, each of us, no doubt, will already have mailed his good-sized contribution to the Alumni Fund as part of his part in shaping "the straight and strong Dartmouth future which each of us in some measure holds in his own heart and hands," to use President Dickey's durable words. Some of us may even be wondering whether we can't squeeze out a slight extra contribution to reemphasize our faith in the College and our hopes for the future, now dimly seen but growing clearer with every passing year, when every young man who deserves Dartmouth, can attend Dartmouth. But just in case one or two of us has forgotten or has put off his loving duty, don't forget that the deadline is midnight June 30! About two weeks to go for another terrific Fund finish, but if you send your big fat check now, you will have two extra weeks to contemplate a pleasant and spiritually rewarding duty done - good intentions translated into action. '33 should have 100% participation this year. Don't be an under-percenter - send your check now before finishing this column!
Incidentally, did you notice the legion of assistant class agents we have this year? It's wonderful! Next year or the year after, when we have so many A. C. A.'s that there's no blank space on the Class Alumni Fund stationery, this Alumni Fund job will be easy for '33. Each man in the Class will be an A. C. A. and will be responsible only for himself, and the whole thing will be automatic. No need to write letters; no need to dun; simply push the button, and the money rolls in for 100% participation and 100% of quota. Oh, well, we can dream, can't we? Seriously, though, it's fun and stimulating and doesn't require tremendous amounts of time. Try it. Write Jackson and volunteer for next year!
We beg to report a welcome' letter from Bob Dickson enclosing a clipping about Hobey Van Deusen, about whom you read last month, and passing along the rumor that Bob Niebling "is going or has gone out to Pittsburgh, to one of the banks out there, possibly Mellon."
