'27 Class Will Give Record of $200,000

The Class of '27, breaking all records for riotous reuning, is planning to break another record at the alumni exercises Thursday afternoon when they present the University with a quarter century gift of $200,000.

This donation is double the traditional $100,000 offering given by most classes at their 25th reunions, and is $40,00 more than the previous peak of $160,000 given by the Class of '26 last year.

Less than 20 percent of the total represents scholarship money. The presentation will be made to President Conant in the Tercentenary Theatre.

The University will not announce the total gifts for the year on Commencement Day as usual. It now makes gift announcements on a quartely basis.
