constαntly before us these days is the need for defense

of all free institutions. Higher education and leadership training at Cornell share that need.

Recognizing her need, 1500 loyal alumni are at work presenting Cornell's story to their classmates.

Now is the time the University must have increased support from her alumni if she is to meet her educational responsibilities.

Every Cornellian has been given the facts. If your Class committee has not yet contacted you, your gift with the coupon below will be credited toward your Class quota.

Little or big, every gift counts, before June 30.

Let the checks roll into Cornell.

Please mention the CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS "The Luxury of Doing Good"

It "surpasses every other personal enjoyment," one noted writer has said.

True, and it is a more pronounced satis- faction, when the beneficiaries of the good deed are one's own loved ones.

Any self-denial necessary to provide such protection through life insur- ance, finds ample compensation in the luxury of self-satisfaction.
