1928

A wah-hoo-wah for Ed Flander's success in breaking the Alumni Fund record for a class 58 years out of college! A few days before the June 30 deadline, Ed decided the record could be broken if $5,000 in checks or pledges could be secured immediately. He and his team started a continuous telephone blitz and got so steamed up that they raised more than $7,000 to bring the total to $90,664, exactly $2,288 over the previous record for a class 58 years out.

This was Ed's third year as class agent, and before the Fund campaign started, he informed the class executive committee that, due to a slight stroke, it would be his last, on his doctor's orders. The happy ending for Ed and the class is that he had a physical checkup July 11, and his doctor said he could continue the job which gives him so much satisfaction. I immediately called the class officers who voted unanimously and enthusiastically that Ed continue as class agent.
