FINAL REPORT 1966-1967

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT ON1967 AL UMNI FUND

On behalf of all the workers who bore the chief burden of the campaign, I want to express our thanks to all of you whose generosity made it possible for Dartmouth's 53rd Alumni Fund to be a resounding success.

It was our first $2,000,000 goal. The 23,059 alumni, parents and friends who responded to our appeals enabled us to surpass it—the final total was $2,101,560.

We owe a special salute to the Head Class Agents, and their able legion of assistants, for the outstanding results tabulated in the Green Derby standings, which you'll find on the next page. How well the Class Campaigns succeeded is dramatically demonstrated by a comparison with 1961, our first $1,000,000 campaign, when four classes exceeded $30,000 in contributions. This year twenty-five classes raised more than $30,000,and six even topped $60,000! Moreover, one class, 1942, as part of its 25th Reunion fund-raising effort, surpassed $90,000—lending emphasis to the importance we should place on our major reunions as a key source of Dartmouth funds.

Tributes also are in order for the part played by parents, in helping our drive succeed. H. Tenison Deane, heading a committee of 120 parents, managed to set new records both in the amount contributed ($78,378) and the number of givers (1,566) parents.

The results show that the Class Challenge Program was a successful experiment that certainly should be continued. Two classes, 1933 and 1946, of the five who were selected for special planning and assistance from the Hanover staff, raised their fund totals by almost$10,000 each; all told, this group raised their gifts by more than $30,000.

We face a special challenge for the Alumni Fund in the year ahead. We shall be trying to raise at least as much as this year, at the same time as the Third Century Fund will be launching its three-year campaign for $51 million in capital resources. It is important that all of us clearly understand the distinctions between these two drives. The Alumni Fund Campaign has first priority, because its provision of one-eighth of all thebasic educational budget is indispensable to meet today's needs at Dartmouth, just as the Third Century Fund is necessary to provide tomorrow's.

I salute all whose gifts and work made 1967's success possible, and pledge our best efforts to maintain that proud record in 1968.

TODAY AND TOMORROWTHE ALUMNI FUND AND THE THIRD CENTURY FUND For the next three years, Dartmouth will be conducting two separate campaigns-The Alumni Fund and the Third Century Fund-for two distinct purposes. It is important that all Dartmouth alumni, parents and friends clearly understand the distinctions between the two. The ALUMNI FUND, which raised more than $2 million in the past year, will continue to seek at least that amount during each of the next three years, or a total of more than $6 million in that whole period. The THIRD CENTURY FUND, in the same three year period, will seek a total of $5l million in capital resources to insure Dartmouth's future growth as it begins its third century. What are the distinctions ? The chief ones are that the first, the Alumni Fund, is vital to meet the needs of today-by continuing to provide one-eighth of the basic educational budget of the College. Unless each Dartmouth man contributes to this Fund at least as much as last year, these needs will suffer. Thus, maintaining that level of annual giving has first priority for each one of us. The second, the Third Century Fund, is necessary to bring reality to the dreams and aspirations of Dartmouth's future, to meet the tremendous new demands already tangibly visible on its horizons. In short, Dartmouth is like a big and growing family that needs more living space but also needs more groceries. It must first meet the everyday demands of today-the groceries-while trying to put aside enough to build a bigger house of tomorrow. Ralph Lazarus '35 Chairman Dartmouth Alumni Fund Committee
