A chair for Armenian Studies at the University has been subscribed and over-subscribed, according to Manoog S. Young, chairman of the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research.
The two year campaign came to and end at a Memorial Hall banquet last Saturday night when President Pusey accepted the $388,000 endowment from Young. The original goal was $300,000.
A gift of $70,000 from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation of Portugal was the largest single contribution. The bequest from the late international oil magnate's will was the first awarded by the foundation in America.
Long-range goals of the Association outlined by Young include endowment of a similar chair in California, and a world congress of Armenian scholars at Harvard in 1961.
