Million Neared By Alumni Fund The 1958 Alumni Fund will open this month with the ntillion-dollar mark in sight for its 6-year cumulative total. Since the fund began in 1953, according to the Penn' Stater, the alumni newspaper, a total of more than. $919,000 has been collected from the alumni. President Eric A. Walker, in his" message to kick off the fund, has made a special plea for un designated gifts—money given by alumni to be used at the discre tion of the Penn State Foundation board of directors and subject to approval of the Board of Trus tees-. ; ‘To be of most help," Walker said, the spits should be pre sented "with no strings at tached—that it they should be completely unrestricted." Alumni are also encouraged, according to the Penn Stater, to earmark their gifts for any of several approved University pro jects such as the Stone Valley recreation area, library acquisi tions, works of art> alumni me morial' scholarships, the All-Faith Chapel, or class projects. Alumni fund meetings will be held in 12 cities during the year, beginning March 17 with a. meeting in Buffalo,. N.Y. In , addition to organization along - college and class lines, this year's fund will also emphasize personal solicitations on a re gional basis in various cities. Four percent of the University’s income, came from Alumni funds and endowments during the last ■biennium. Most of this money was earmarked for special projects.
