President Pusey's announcement Monday that the Program for Harvard College had passed its goal of $82.5 million does not mark the end of the Program, but rather a memorable and significant day in it. Large gifts from Harold S. Vanderbilt '07 and Lamont duPont Copeland '27, and a bequest from Walter W. Naumburg '89 have assured the College of the funds needed to carry out the Program, and that achievement is to be welcomed by undergraduates and alumni.

Harvard has felt pride and gratitude for its President's leadership in fundraising; it should now hope for continued leadership in the use of those resources.
