Gimbel Brothers ALIJMN J r E N001ENT Institution's Funds Meager and Big Sum Is Needed for Its Expansion DRIVE'S START INDEFINITE "There will be on endowment funil I railed by the Ki'urluntes of the Unlvcrsltvi of Pennsylvania," said Thomos W. Hulme, president of the Oeneral Alumni Society, today, in comment upon the announcement of I'rlnceton's campaign for a $14,000,000 endowment fund. "But when the campaign will start, and what will be the method of conduct I ling it, rests entirely with the board of trustees. . 'Mfliethcr the responsibility for the (campaign will be assumed by the trust-, I tecs or by the Alumni Society, will also be decided by the trustees." ' "Plans for nn endowment were con-. Ilidered two yenri ago, hut the wnr be gan and the plans were laid aside. ; Money Declined Needed i i'cnnsyivanin necu me enuowmcni. There's no doubt about that. 'And the I'fact that Harvatd, as heavily endowed lis she is already, and Princeton needs Inoney, certainly indicates that Penn sylvania with Iit very meager endow- Iment needs n great deal more." Provost Hdgar Fnhs Smith, of the tjnlvernity of PennsAhnnia. mi Id tliat I he knew of no endowment campaign about to be launched either bj the alumni or trustees. AVhatton l!irl:er believes that the alumni have never really been nrtie enough in their efforts to raise nn en dowment fund. "Tor thirty-nine yenrs I have been n trustee," said Mr. Bar ker, "and In all that time the trustee- have sought an endowment, but the alumnLhave always been sluggish. Thev have (ever orgnnlzed for the raisin" liind. A plan was presented two Stnf ago. It was one of those so called 'drives.' And it was proposed that certain experts lie hired to direct the 'drive.' Thc'nlan was rejected be cause it stipulated for n much too large traction of the amount raised an n salary for the expert drive directors." Samuel r. Houston, n trustee and treasurer pro tempore of the University, Vfhen asked to comment some time ago pon the raising of the $10,000,000 Harvard endowment, said he bellecd that it would be extremely encouraging it tnc alumni or the rntverslty of Penn sylvania raised n great sum for an endowment fund. It is ery possible flint the nlumnl might rnise a substantial aum by n campaign. They did present a plan for a whirlwind campaign sonic time ago, and the trustees rejected it because they didn't believe it feasible. In. such n campaign the experts who comlnct it get a substantial part of the money (pised and that money ought to go to the rnivercity. The trustees Iuive no plan to raise Ian endowment. The war came up and carried their Interests to other quarters." New Buildings Wanted That an endowment is needid is agreed by all, whether trustee or alumnus. Thc money is needed iyit so much for the increase of the salaries of the teaching start. The recently an nounced general IK per cent Increase adequately meets tnai proDiem lor it while. However, 'the money is neces- Kftrv tn fllrthpr rlpiplnn VflfioilS llennrt- tnents. of the institution, In thcTorm of hew equipment nnd new buildings i The war deficit which the Unhcrsitr suffered was met by the alumni cam paign last year. Sixty-two thousand dollars was raised and proved suffi ciently large to tide over the loss of income during the war. The. nlan subm tted by the nlumnl I lp 1010 consists of three methods to be conducted simultaneously. j First. An organized enmpaign to ItoUclt contributions from wealthy IPMlnriplnlitnns. whose nride In a I'lilla- Idelpbia institution would command their generosity. Blanket Insurance j Rornn.l Ulanket Insurance for mem bers of the nlumnl association with the endowment fund named ns beneficiary. The alumni would be Insured for small amounts, and their payment of the pre miums would be their contribution to the fund. About 300 alumni die an nually. , , , Third. Solicitation ot casn coniri Jtlo'ns each year from the graduates. 'The.nlans were rejected by tho trus- ivJin sinnrestod that n committee of six of their number confer with the alumni society's eadowment committee. ""On the day fixed for the meeting, March 1 of last year, only one of the trustees was able to appear. Since then, nothing" has been done.
