P AGE NINE On the Campus Alumnae FundWorkers Hold First Annual Meeting. Executive Board Members Also Meet on Campus.

At the first annual meeting of the Alumnae Fund Class Agents and the Alumnae Fund Committee held on campus on November 6 and 7, Henrietta Owens Rogers '28, Chair- man of the Alumnae Fund for 1948-50, described the Fund as an opportunity for alumnae. She said that all of us be- lieve in the strengthening of our educational institutions for obvious reasons, reasons which are mentioned in almost every public address today, and in many private conversa- tions. Often, however, we wait for the big, dramatic ways of helping, and those ways come very seldom. The Alumnae Fund offers not only the official Fund workers, but all alumnae, the immediate opportunity of working positively fer the betterment of American college education generally, and Connecticut College specifically.
