ALUMNI ASKED TO ASSIST HARVAR Howard Corning Seeks Contribu- tions to Fund Council at Meeting. assistance for Harvard University was urged on prominent local alumni by Howard Corning, Cambridge, Mass., class of 1890, who, as executive secretary of the Harvard “und Council, addressed a luncheon meeting here vesterday. Unrestricted funds are mneeded to increase teachers' salarfes; to provide for more and better tutors under the tutorial svstem, and to improve lab- oratorv equipment, classroom facili- ties, materiais for research and kin- dred items, Mr. Corning said. Outlining the history and aims of the Harvard fund, Mr. Corning ex- plained it was inaugurated October 18 last to provide a means whereby all Harvard men may contribute an nually to the support of the univer- sity. It is a permanent institution and its officiating body is known as the Harvard Fund Council, composed of 30 alumnl, of which Howard El liott, '81, chatrman of the Northern Pacific Railway, is president. The Har fund is in no sense a ve.” There Is no quota and the money raised will be turned over an nually to the president and fellows to be used entirely in their discretion the speaker amplfiled. Mr. Corning spoke of the recent endwoment fund and of the $10,000. 000 campalgn to raise money for the Business School, the Division of Chemistry and the Division of Fine Arts. These, he pointed out, were for endowment purposes, and Harvard is still In the greatest need of unre stricted money. The success of the fund, according to Mr. Corning, will depend on the number of contributors rather than on the size of Individual gifts. It is not intended that the Harvard fund shall conflict in any way with the an nual gift to the university each com- mencement from the twenty-fifth re- union class, # PLAN FINAL DRIVE.
