Ilillill UDRNIEILILIIAN A The Alumni THE coRNELL1AN coUNc1L The Cornellian Council, founded in 1908, is the alumni organization which has for its purpose the stimulation of alumni interest in the financial support of the University. The founders of the Council had in mind doing away with the indiscriminate solicitation of alumni and sought to establish an authorita- tive body which would limit the number of appeals made and which would interest the alumni in the most urgent needs of the Uni- versity. Most of the gifts made through the Cornellian Council are unrestricted as to their use and co'nstitute the Alumni Fund. It is this Fund which is resorted to when Cornell is faced with the loss of a member of the JERVIS LANGDON -97 faculty whose services are sought elsewhere at Pfmamf a larger salary. New equipment, books, as- sistants and other emergency needs of the University are provided for with the funds thus contributed by the alumni. Many gifts have likewise been made through the Council for specific purposes. During its lifetime over 36,000,000 has come to the University in gifts made through this organization. The year 1929-1930 will be remembered as the year in which the alumni of Cornell brought a new championship to their Alma Mater, that of leading the academic World in the number of contributors to an Alumni Fund. For many years Yale, with her fund established fifteen years before Cornell's, led the university world in the num- ber of Alumni Fund contributors. Last year as a result ofa nationwide effort Cor- nell alumni, to the number of 10,136, contributed to their Alumni Fund. This figure represents the largest body of alumni of any institution ever to have contributed to such a fund in at single year. All annual contributors to the Alumni Fund are members of the Cornellian Council. The management is vested in a Board of Directors, made up of repre- sentatives of all graduating classes, about forty members at large, an indehnite number of club and geographical representatives, and honorary members. An exe- cutive committee of the Board shapes the policies of the organization. Jervis Lf1f1gdOI1, '97, Who was president of the Cornellian Council when this record was achieved, is now serving his third term as head of the fund-raising organi- zation. Harold Flack, '12 has been Executive Secretary of the Council for the past fifteen years. Under his direction the work of the Council has been carried on with such success that today the Cornell Alumni Fund is regarded as a model for the colleges and universities of America. l l ll22ll
