Fund for Reunion Comes From Gifts Donated by Class

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Amidst all the opulence of reunion revelry, the casual observer may he puzzled by the question, "Where does the money all come from?"

The money necessary to finance a week of jollity comes from contributions by members of the reunioning class to the Harvard Fund and to their class treasury. The contributions began when the members of '30 were not much older than the members of '55 will be tomorrow.

For the Class of 1930, the minimum goal was $335,000, of which $250,000 will be given to the University as unrestricted funds, and $85,000 will be used to pay for reunion-week expenses. Whatever excess of this sum is raised will be given to the College for scholarship endowments.

The Reunion costs $100,000 when the expenses of using the University's facilities are included.

Although the Class spends approximately $70 for each person in attendance, no minimum contribution is expected from a member who comes to the Reunion.
