In t he pas t t he A l u m n i Associat ion

f u n d s f o r var ious purposes , all good

and laudable , and m a n y have been

the loyal a l u m n i w h o have generous ly

responded, s o m e to one, s o m e to m o r e

t han one, s o m e to all of t hese appea l s .

However In 1921 t h e Associat ion de-

cided to t a k e on s o m e t h i n g bigger and

be t te r t h a n a n y t h i n g previously a t -

t empted , namely the s u p p o r t and ult i-

m a t e e n d o w m e n t of t h e C h a i r of P h i -

losophy a t Hope College. I n 1923 ow-

ing to confus ion a n d inefficiency

caused by mult ipl ic i ty of appea l s . It

was de t e rmined to d r o p all o t n e r

f u n d s a n d concen t r a t e on th i s one

effort to provide fo r t h e Cha i r of P h i -

losophy. If t he g r a d u a t e s of Hope

succeed in th i s pro jec t , it will be t he

biggest a n d best t h ing t hey have ever

yet done In a financial way fo r Old

Hope. And t h e r e is no reason why it

cannot and should no t be done. Ten

dol lars a yea r f r o m each g r a d u a t e is

all t h a t Is asked, a n d if It is given,

the c h a i r can be m a i n t a i n e d and the

e n d o w m e n t raised In a few years .

But we mus t best ir ourselves . The

Chai r of Ph i lo sophy h a s been in ex-

istence fo r two yea r s a n d we a r e a t

p resen t a b o u t seven h u n d r e d dol lars

behind. Many of t h e a l u m n i have as

yet given no th ing to th i s cause, or to

any o t h e r cause t h a t t h e Asaociation

has fos tered . . Surely we should hea r

f r o m t h e m in t he n e a r f u t u r e .

W e had In mind to publ ish a com-

plete list of all t h e classes with

a m o u n t s givefl by each an'd pe rcen t -

ages of l iving m e m b e r s giving to th is

f und . T h e comple te list would t a k e

too m u c h space, t h e r e f o r e suffice it

for t h e p resen t to say t h a t t h e b a n n e r

class is t h e c lass of 1880 with 75%

of its l iving m e m b e r s con t r ibu t ing .

T h e class of 1887 is a close second

with 71r/c. The fo l lowing addi t iona l

classes have 50% or over : 1866, 1867,

1873, 1875, 1891, 1894, 1909. T h e rest

a r e below 50%; some classes have

sent in no th ing . T h e to ta l a m o u n t

con t r ibu ted by all t h u s f a r , t h a t is,

since 1921, is $4337.50. All money re-

ceived fo r th i s f u n d is t u r n e d over to

first q u a r t e r l y p a y m e n t fo r t h i s

cha l lenge to br ing up t h e ave rage of

Dur ing the past t h r e e yea r s $315.50

was collected in a n n u a l dues. Of the'

m o r e t h a n 800 living a lumni , 292 d i f -

f e r e n t a l u m n i paid t h e i r fees once,

twice or t h r e e t imes . Had all t h e

800 paid annua l ly , t h e a m o u n t would

have been $1200.00. H a d the 292

paid annua l ly , t h e r e would have been

$438.00. This s i tua t ion is sub jec t to

m a r k e d improvemen t .

At t h e last a n n u a l mee t ing of t h e

Association It was u n a n i m o u s l y de-

cided to increase a n n u a l dues f r o m

50 cents to $1.00; and a resolut ion was

passed reques t ing t h e a l u m n i to pay

t he i r dues In t he fa l l of t h e year
