The Endowment Fund On November 28, l92l, the Board of Trustees of Occidental College started on the most successful financial campaign which the College has ever witnessed, by voting to raise a general endowment fund of S500,000.00. ln the following spring, President Remsen du Bois Bird went to New York, where he conferred with the officers of the General Education Board concerning this Endowment Fund. As a result, Sl66,667.00 was given to- ward the fund by that Board, otherwise known as the Rockefeller Founda- tion, on condition that the full amount of 55001100.00 be pledged to the College before January l, l924, and paid in to the College before January l, l925. Our own Board of Trustees have subscribed SI l3,700.00 to the endowment fund. Due to the, untiring and persistent efforts of our President, the fund has been fully subscribed ten months before the termination of the time allotted. We of the present student body of Occidental College join in render- ing our sincere appreciation and in giving praise to our President, who has added to the foundation of the Occidental of the future--an Occidental that will stand out in the West as a precious gem in the Crown of Education. llllll lllll...111l, w ll l llIl1hmmulll 'l 11 .Aft 1 ml i.1.Qg.Ef', 5?,, r ,, 4 1 .- l 1 vw .-gag 1, fX.-- 3 ----lit hh, .
