6 Alumni-Alumnae Fund Campaign Tops Prior Mark

EW gains all along the line, with the Alumnae Fund and the Eastman School of Music scoring the Ngreatest successes, marked the Centennial Year Alumni-Alumnae Giving Funds campaign. The final total raised among the graduates of all the University's schools and colleges was $42,621.05 as of July 1. This exceeds all previous efforts, although it failed by about $7,000 to reach the goal of $50,000 set for the drive. Energy and initiative on the part of the class fund leaders paid good dividends for the Alumnae Association, whose members contributed a total of $10,272.25, far above their goal of $7,500. Eastman School of Music graduates, under the leadership of Paul Relin, '30, and Ruth Zimmerman Steese, M.M., '33, co-chairmen, also exceeded their quota, $2,000, by contributing $2,752, or over $1,600 more than their co~tributions in 1949. Alumnae of University Extension, with Jane Cameron, '29, as chairman, with a goal of $500, contributed $508. Total contributions to the Alumni Fund, details of which are given below, were $25,285. Men graduates of the School of Medicine and Dentistry, with a quota of $5,000, gave a total of $3,166.75, as compared with $2,890.50 contributed in the 1949 campaign. Women medical graduates gave $262, and men and women graduates of the Graduate School contributed a total of $306.50.

28 He was busy enough as it was, handling his own affairs. But now that he is acting as executor for the estate of his friend, he's really got his hands· full. He's found that he hasn't the time, knowledge or experience to do all the things that have to be done in connection with his friend's estate.

Remember this when you think of naming a friend as executor of your estate. Let Lincoln Rochester's Trust Department take this responsibility. We are perpetual and always available. Feel welcome at any time to visit Lincoln Rochester's Trust Department with your attorney for a discussion of estate plans.
