Chest Merges
Charity Drives
Campus Chest was organized in 1950 to consolidate numerous
charity drives into one drive which is generally conducted during
the fall semester.
The drive developed from plans proposed by the National
Student Association, of which the University is a member.
The purpose of Campus Chest
is three-fold: to eliminate dupli
cated efforts, to establish a defi
nite policy toward the operation
of campus fund drives, and to
emphasize the students’ and fac
ulty’s responsibility toward chari
ties.

During last fall’s drive Campus
Chest collected $10,394.52. Eleven
organizations benefited from the
drive.
Each of these organizations re
ceived a predetermined percent
age of the total contributions.
Students were also permitted to
designate a specific amount to be
given to one or several of the
organizations benefiting from the

sociation cards in order to acquire
