Glair, vice president Clifton DeLong ass ' istufii i University of Illinois Foundation L ' stablished in 1935, the Universit - of Illinois Foundation is a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of Illinois. Its chief function is to encourage gifts, from both individuals and cor- porations, for the purpose of assisting the general educational and research program of the Uni- versitN . One phase of this activity is the Illini Achieve- ment Fund, organized in December, 1948, as a permanent annual-gift program in the interests of the Universit . In 1949 the Achievement Fund set a new record among Big Ten schools, and among all midwestern state universities, for the number of gifts to such a program during its first year. Contributions from 5,071 Illini and other friends of the Universit ' of Illinois totalled $52,131. Fund contributions in 1950 amounted to $74,042 — an increase of 42 per cent over the 1949 figure.
