Class of 1943 returning to College
from war service has been official
ly approved as the senior class gift,
David .1. McAleer, class president,
announced last night. At the end

ed postal card, gave the plan a
better than two-to-one margin over
the combined totals of the two
other proposals of a special class
fund committee and additional
suggestions "written on" on extra
spaces provided on the ballot.
More than $5,000 is expected to
be made available through the
memorial fund,' . .which consists of
the balance in the class treasury
and the unexpended funds in the
Class of 1943 Damage Deposit Ac
count.

$l,OOO plus accumulated interest
will be made available each year
for a ten-year period to "members

military, industrial, or civilian
service were ' forced to leave
school before graduation and wish
to return to finish college." In the
event that the annual quota is not
used by members of the class of
1943, any.regularly enrolled sopho
more, junior, or senior in need of
financial assistance may take ad
vantage of the remainder of the
allotment.
Funds borrowed through the
memorial fund 'may be •repaid.
