1968

Words like "phenomenal," "bravo zulu," "outstanding," "record breaker," and other accolades in a similar vein marked the June tally of 1968's performance in the Alumni Fund. We met and exceeded our goal of $52,568 and broke the l4th-year-out record! Participation was a key factor, with 61.2 per cent of the class getting involved, including 40 who hadn't given for three or more years and 100 who rose to the occasion with new gifts.

Well, after 14 comes 15 years out and the opportunity for a major gathering of this illustrious group whose members do span the girdled earth and whose careers and involvements are as various as the weather in Chicago. There is indeed much news in hand from last year, so to it!
