ENDOWMENT FUND SWELLS

Only eight thousand graduates of the University still remain unenrolled in the Harvard Endowment Fund drive as a result of the campaigning last week which resulted in the addition of 353 graduates. John W. Prentiss '98, Eliot Wadsworth '98 and Thomas W. Slocum '90 doubled their original $25,000 subscriptions. The Endowment Fund committee hopes that a number of other men will follow their example, thereby raising the grand total considerably.

The Class of 1901 which has been among the first fifteen highest classes in the amount raised since the campaign began gained twelfth place last week.

Chairman T. Nelson Perkins '91, in an address at the Prentiss-Wadsworth dinner, said in part:

"The interest and co-operation of the class organizations has been remarkable. The classes from 1895 to 1920 have from 50 to 75 men each at work and we hope that, as a consequence, the number of enrolled subscribers will be greatly increased. As yet less than $100,000 has been received from new subscribers despite the energetic work of the committees. There is no possibility of raising the remaining $2,800,000 from non-subscribers. Harvard men have subscribed about $9,000,000 to date. The Fund cannot be completed unless the former subscribers increase on an average of 33 per cent. Payment on pledges can be made at anytime within the next ten years."

"We don't want to take a licking."
