GIFTS, GRANTS & BEQUESTS
November 1968

The purpose of this column is to give thankful recognition to recent gifts, grants, and bequests of $5,000 or more, indicating the variety of ways in which alumni and friends as well as corporations and foundations help to meet the challenge of constantly growing demands and increasing costs of operation that Dartmouth, like all educational institutions, faces in these times. It should be emphasized that the College receives many gifts of less than $5,000 and that these are needed and warmly appreciated, though they are not listed here. For the period May 1 to August 31 the total of these more modest gifts, exclusive of those to the Alumni Fund and the Third Century Fund, was $160,418. Gifts designated primarily for the Third Century Fund will be reported separately elsewhere.
