says President Farrand

"The future of Cornell never looked brighter than it does today. "This is a period of strengthening and consolidation of our forces for the big opportunity that will inevitably come. "One of the most encouraging aspects of the picture is the ever increasing number of alumni who are showing their interest and devotion to Cornell by their support of the Alumni Fund. "In preparing the budget for the coming year we have leaned heavily on the unrestricted income of this Fund to carry out the most vital functions of the University.
