Latest tabulations of Harvard's contribution to the Community Fund show a total of over $53,000 plus the gifts of the Dental and Medical instructors who gave through their professional groups. A little over one-half of the total was given by 2600 officers, employees, and students while the remainder was contributed by about 100 professors through the special gifts committee.
