ENDOWMENT FUND NEARING SIX MILLION DOLLAR MARK

During the three days preceeding and including the holiday the canvassers of the Endowment Fund in Boston collected $159,811 from 208 graduates. This brings the Boston total up to $2,396,494. This, added to the $2,278,000 already reported in New York and the $1,280,060 collected in other cities, made the grand total at noon yesterday $5,954,554.

The solicitors in the Boston district had great difficulty in locating men on their lists on account of the fact that many of them made trips over the weekend. It is expected that the total will increase rapidly after business gets started again.

Some of the men who made large subscriptions to the fund during the three-day stretch were: J. Byrne '77, of New York, $150,000; N. P. Hallowell '97, of Boston, $15,000; A. Koshland '90, of Boston, $5000; A. P. Loring '78, of Beverly, $5000; R. B. Williams '96 of Boston, $5000; E. F. Leland, '91, of Boston, $5000; J. R. Perkins '14, of New York, $5000; W. B. Nichols '16, of New York, $1000.
