Holding their first meeting since the organization of the Harvard Fund Council a year ago, the Fund Class Agents assembled last night at 7 o'clock at a dinner in the Aesculapian Room of the Harvard Club of Boston.
J. R. Hamlen '04, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Harvard Fund Council, presided, President Lowell, Eliot Wadsworth '98, a member of the Board of Overseers, and B. L. Young '07 delivered brief speeches on the work of the Fund. Following the dinner, plans for the Fund's activities during the next few months were discussed. R. N. Field '26, the Agent for the Class of 1926, and Lawrence Coolidge '27, newly appointed Agent for his class, were also present at the meeting.
1855-1925 agents present
The other Agents from the classes of 1855 to 1925 inclusive were present.
The importance of the Class Agent in the machinery of the Fund cannot be over-emphasized, it is explained. Letters sent out by him in the interest of the Council have proved to have the most effective and direct appeal of all the various forms of literature thus far employed in solicitation of money from the graduates. It is interesting to note that the class of 1926 is listed in the First Annual Report of the Council as the class having the largest number of contributors to the Fund for the year 1926.
