Seventieth Fund Asks Parents' Aid

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Parents of every Radcliffe student will be tapped for a contribution to the Annex' Seventieth Anniversary Fund.

More than 100 of those parents have already donated a total of $10,500 to the fund.

So far, fund officials have collected $515,000 toward the $1,000,000 amount due to be given to the college on June 15, 1949.

In a letter sent to all Radcliffe parents, Robert Hunneman '28, chairman of the Annex Trustee Committee on Endowment, pointed out these facts and appealed for concerted aid from parents to boost the Fund over the $1,000,000 mark.

"At the outset of the campaign a limited number of parents were invited to make contributions," Hunneman wrote, "with the result that 108 parents have thus far subscribed $10,500 to the total now in hand. We are now asking every parent to consider carefully the claims of Radcliffe on their generosity . . . We hope that every parent will find it possible to make a contribution, however small."
