countries.
The fund will try to encourage more alumni to make tangible gifts to the University

the five years of its existence.
Last year $177,800 was contributed
by 9,731 alumni.
Approximately 500 alumni will
serve as class agents or class or
college chairman in the colleges
from which they graduated. About
150 class chairmen attended a
special Alumni Fund Conference
held on campus last October to

be held this spring in eastern
cities. Dr. Walker will address
alumni in Philadelphia, Pitts

speaker has been named for the
seventh meeting which will be
held in State College.
