LEAP FROG seems to be the game of the season at the University
sheep barns. These little fellows are only ten days old, but they
already play the game well. Although the mother sheep is the
frog, the kids do all the leaping.
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.
