Alumni Fund Prospects.
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.
