All of us under- mtl ig, co-education, in the mission fields, in temperance, in civic affairs, in child welfare movements, in prison reforms, in every branch of social or public service these men and . women have been characterized by their practical and ener- getic application of the Christian ideals inculcated in them at Oberlin. Now, these sons and daughters in every state and every country, are turning toward the Alma Mater to apply their experienceand these ideals to a great forward movement to perpetuate the ideals, standards,,and traditions of yesterday's Oberlin by building a solid financial foundation under'the Oberlin of tomorrow. ff 'Kia' 1 -S. wnxwvrU:,,, , pp -'rt graduates 1n Oberl1n today are proud of their record. In 1 1 1 I In the fall of 1923 the alumni of Oberlin are to undertake one of the most important enterprises in the history of the College. After many months of study of the financial needs of Oberlin, the trustees have de- termined that Oberlin must add a minimum of 34,500,000 to its resources if the College is to continue its present service unhandicapped. They have turned to these to whom the College is most dear to help in solving Oberlin's financial problems. In answer, former students of Oberlin from Maine to California have already started to mobilize for a great campaign to raise this sum, N WHY .OBERLIN NEEDS MORE MONEY I To persons who have not been in active touch with the financial situation at Oberlin, since the war, the fact that our College needs finan- cial assistance at this time may seem surprising. In 1914 Oberlin be- came a beneficiary under the will of the late Charles M. Hall. At that time it was believed that Mr. Hall's generous consideration for his Alma Mater would amply supply the needs of Oberlin for a number of years. The inherited property, which according to the terms of the will does not come under the controlftof the College for fifteen years, was chiefly in the form of aluminum stocks conservatively valued at 33,500,000 for College endowment. Prior to 1920 this legacy provided an income of 3194,500 a year. This splendid annual addition to the income made it possible for Oberlin to raise' the faculty salary scale more nearly to the level of that of other first+class colleges, 0117 Y f .nbnnngfvnrlfzrvifzr I QQX5 fill 'L Q 2 K 'Y M Y!
