Members of the University's Board of Overseers participated in a marathon day of back-to-back meetings yesterday at their last gathering of the academic year.

Rudenstine on the progress of the planning process for Harvard's upcoming $2 billion capital campaign--the largest such fund drive in the history of higher education. Among the outgoing members of the group are Andrew F. Brimmer, a prominent financial consultant, who this year concludes a rare second term on the board, and Vice President Al Gore '69, whose arrival at the dinner was marked by heavy security and a motorcade of about 30 motorcycle police officers, assorted other cars and an ambulance.
