Harvard's Needs Are
Raised to $15,250,000
New York, Sept. 20.- —Eliot Wads
worth, executive chairman of the
Harvard Endowment Fund, announ-1
ced to-day that the organization has
set $15,250,000 instead of $10,000,000,
as its goal in raising money for tho |
University. This amount is the mini-i
mum which will meet the crisis con
fronting the University and its teach
ing staff.
"The original mark which we set,"
said Mr. Wadsworth, "was $10,000,-
000, this amount was the estimate
of the Harvard endowment fund
committee which was appointed ill
1916. This seemed large at tho time
and was based upon the needs of the
institution at the time for increased
equipment und higher remuneration
for the teaching staff. America en
tered the war, however, within a
short time and the plans were drop
ped until last spring. When the
committee began work again, the
first step was a full study of the
University. This investigation was
made by members of the committee
and graduates during the Old Grad's
Summer School in July. Each de
partment of the University was care
fully studied in connection with the
economic and social developments in
the last five years. As a result, if
became perfectly clear to members
of the committee that the original
figure was entirely too low."
