More than 400 Armenians launched a three-year drive for the endowment of a chair in Armenian history and culture by pledging $28,230 at a banquet in the Boston Harvard Club last night. The National Association for Amernian Studies and Research, sponsor of the project, now has about $38,000 of the $300,000 necessary for the chair.
President Pusey, speaking at the dinner, thanked the association for deciding to establish the chair here. He said this professorship, first in the field in the United States, will be important because Armenian culture is "permeated with prefound religious and literary values."
Dean Bundy, who accepted the pledges, promised the group that the best man in the field would be secured for the chair. The money pledged last night, he said, would probably be used for a scholarship or fellowship in Armenian history.
