It will be done by your joining the Alumni Club or making a gift to the Alumni Fund. It will be done by your volunteering your time and talents to support Western. In essence, it will be done in the same way the other $40,000 was collected. You shouldn’t be bracing yourself to invent reasons why you won’t participate. That $50,000 will now support only four students, since tuition and fees are presently $1,200 for three quarters, and interest rates of 9 percent look pretty good today.
