Corporation Support Continues To Grow

The Dartmouth Alumni Council of fifty members consists of twenty-three regional representatives, one faculty representative, nine members from the class and club officers’ associations, fourteen members at large, and three ex-officio members. The Council’s president for 1962-63 is M. Carter Strickland ’29 of Oneida, N. Y., ex-officio member by virtue of being chairman of the executive committee of the General Alumni Association.

During the fiscal year 1961-62 gifts from corporations to Dartmouth College totaled $408,916, continuing the strong growth pattern of recent years. Direct gifts from 176 corporations accounted for ninety per cent of the total, and the balance was the College’s share o gifts made by several hundred com- panies to the New England Colleges Fund and the National Fund for Medical Education.

The largest donor once again was Gen- eral Motors Corporation, with over $40,- 000 directed to scholarship assistance and accompanying grants.
