THE DEVELOPMENT FUND Alumni and friends again demonstrated thcir great affection for the University in indelible and tangible fashion last year by giving a total of 3306337 in 10,944 gifts and pledges through the Development Fund. Both the number of contrif butors and the amount raised were new allftimc records. It was the ninth consecutive year that the Fund, started in '39, had blazed a new trail, forging ahead to new high achievements. It was certain that the outstanding record of the Fund's last campaign year would continue Ohio State's high standing nationally among similar alumni fund plans. The increase in the number of contributors was nearly 10 per cent higher than the previous year when the Fund was fifth in the nation in number of contributors and fourth in the amount of money given. The amount raised enabled the Board of Direcf tors, at the annual meeting early this year, to meet, substantially, all of the Fund's general and special projects. An additional sum of 317,500 went into thc War Memorial Scholarship endow' ment fund, making a total of 367,500 in this prof ject toward an eventual S100,000 goal. Willard M.
