Pass Three-Quarter Mark in Drive

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Subscriptions received yesterday put the Endowment Fund total over the three-quarter mark in the drive for $15,250,000. The main part of the contributions have come in from cities and towns outside of the Boston and New York districts, but, as the local district has been averaging $3,000 daily for the past week, the quota of $6,000,000 for the Boston district is nearly seventy-six per cent subscribed.

Records of gifts for the past few days show that undergraduates at the University were among the recent subscribers. The Central Office is extremely gratified at this indication of home interest in the campaign. A contribution was also received from an alumnus residing in Mexico City. Among the one thousand dollar gifts recently received are those of J. Haleston Parker '93, Francis H. Swift '06, in memory of William N. Swift '77; Mrs. J. T. Coolidge; Mrs. R. M. Saltonstall; Alexander Steinert; and Frank G. Allen.
