A capital gift of $50,666 to establish a memorial fund for Reginald Fincke, Jr. '82, who was killed in action on Okinawa May 15, 1945, is among the gifts previously unannounced.

Contributions for current use in research, and for financial aid to students, totaled $1,977,764. The Rockefeller Foundation, Harvard Law School Fund, and the American Cancer society were among the donors.
