1960 Alumni Fund

THE 1960 Alumni Fund campaign approached the end of its first month with $185,000 contributed by over 2,000 alumni, parents and friends, according to a report by Alumni Fund Chairman Donald F. Sawyer '21.

Chairman Sawyer praised this as a fine start, but noted that a lot remains to be done in May and June if the 1960 goal of $1,000,000 is to be achieved by June 30.

More than 2,200 alumni are serving throughout the country as Class Agents for the 1960 Fund. A separate campaign, seeking $60,000 from the parents of Dartmouth undergraduates, is being conducted simultaneously under the direction of Guilford Hartley of Duluth, Minn., whose son Roger is a Dartmouth junior.

Solicitation this spring is being limited to those alumni who did not participate in the Capital Gifts Campaign, although alumni who have completed payments on pledges to that campaign are being invited to help. All alumni who participated in the Capital Campaign, however, are being counted as contributors to the 1960 Fund for participation purposes.

Most encouraging to the Fund Committee thus far is the fact that nearly onethird of the gifts received have come from alumni who are still paying on pledges to the Capital Campaign but who wished to support the Alumni Fund as well.

The Fund Committee's second mailing piece, featuring a report on faculty compensation problems by Provost John W. Masland, went into the mails in late April.

This is the forty-sixth annual Dartmouth Alumni Fund and marks the resumption of the annual Fund campaigns following a two-year merger with the Capital Gifts effort.
