The Sesquicentennial Bounce
Since the Annual Ahmini Fund was begun in 1954
it has gone through a variety of birth pangs usualh-associated
witli new fund drives. It has fluctuated
wildh' from outside influences such as the Develop-ment
Campaign in 1958 and the recession of last year.
The Sesquicentennial Year of the College saw a
record 747 alumni send gifts to the Alumni Fund.
Never before have as many as 600 alumni contributed
to the Fund in a single year. This year 747 alumni
sent $21,006.57 to the College. In addition 16 friends
added another $.333.00. The grand total for the year
amounts to 763 gifts totaling $21,339.57 for the Alumni
Fund. This represents 15.47'l participation by the
alumni—also a record high, and more than double
the participation of last year.
No small amount of credit should go to the Gen-eral
Chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee, Louis
P. Nardi "33 and his diligent committee. Serving with
him were Charles C. Bollinger 18, Bobbe Rogers Faris
'36, George C. Kramer, Jr. "53, Henry Long '56, Logan
Richmond '54, and Nathan W. Stuart '36.
The record success virtually dictated that Lou
Nardi be named Alumni Fund Chairman for a second
year. He is confident that there will be no relapse
among alumni this year and his committee is aiming
for at least 20% participation in the 1963 Alumni Fund.
