HARVARD FUND COUNCIL STARTS 1927 CAMPAIGN

Active work of the Harvard Fund Council the controlling board of the Harvard Fund which was introduced with success last year to the alum of the University as a means for raising annually money for the College and Graduate Schools, will begin for 1927 with two important meetings to be held at the Harvard Club of Boston on January 10 and 25. On January 10, the Council will hold the first of its stated meetings for the year, when publicity plans and general business will be discussed. At this meeting also announcement will be made of the name of the new Council member who will take the place of C.C. Stillman '98, who died last August. J.R. Hamlen '04, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Harvard Fund Council, will preside.

On January 25, there will be a dinner and meeting of the Class Agents from 1855 to 1926 inclusive. The speakers will include President Lowell, Eliot Wadsworth '98, and B.L. Young '07.

R.H. Field Agent for 1926

The importance of the Class Agent in the machinery of the Fund cannot be over-emphasized. Letters sent out by him in the interest of the Council have proved to have the most effective and direct appeal of all the various forms of literature thus far employed in solicitation of money front the graduates. R.H. Field '26 was appointed last year agent for the class of 1926. It is interesting to note that his class, which during the period of active solicitation was in its Senior year, is listed in the First Annual Report of the Council as the class having the largest number on contributors to the Fund for the year. Before the meeting of January 25, it is expected that the Agent for the class of 1927 will be appointed.

On December 15, 1926, the Council published the first number of a photographic supplement entitled "The Yard". This supplement, which comprises four pages, is somewhat larger than the CRIMSON'S bi-weekly supplement, and gives a comprehensive survey of changes and progress in and about the University. It was sent to every living Harvard man, in number about 46,000. The Council plans to publish a second issue during the first week in February.
