A well attended meeting of the Direc- tors and Class Agents of the Yale Alumni Fund Association was held at the Yale Club in New York ,City on Tuesday evening, February Ist. Among those present were Payson Merrill, ’65; William W. Skiddy, ’65 S.; Alexander Cameron, ’690; Thomas Thacher, ’71; William M. Barnum, ’77; Julian W. Curtiss, 79; Howard T. Walden, ’81; Henry B. Platt, 82; Henry W. Calhoun, 83; Henry S.Brooks;-’85; Oliver -G. Jennings, 87; A. Rene Moén, ’89 S-.; Lewis S.. Haslam, ’90; Edward H. Floyd-Jones, ’92; J. G. Phelps Stokes, ’92 S.; Noah H. Swayne, ’93; Guy R. McLane, ’95, and Amos R. E. Pinchot, 07 Reports were made by the Class Agents of the work done and the num- ber and amount of contributions in their respective classes since January st, 1898, and there was much discussion of an informal nature in regard to methods to be pursued for increasing the fund. From the reports made at this meeting it appears that the number and amount of contributions received during the month of January compare favorably with the figures for the same period in previous years, and encourage those interested in this work to hope that this will be a prosperous year for the Fund. This Fund has in the past few years been of the greatest assistance to Yale in a way the importance of which is becoming more and more appreciated by those who watch the financial affairs of the University. It receives contri- butions from the alumni, for the most part in small amounts of five or ten dollars, frequently of even smaller sums, thus enabling all alumni, accord- ing to their means, to contribute to the support and growth of Yale. The sums thus realized are devoted to the general purposes of the University, thus benefiting all departments alike, and have in the past averaged about $10.000 a year. The great value and import- ance of this work is indicated by Presi- dent Dwight’s statement in a recent annual report, that but for the assist- ance given by this Fund there would have been an actual deficit in the finances of the University. we wow Graduates’ Club News.
