The President is the chief fund raiser for the College and the Museum.He coordinates the campaigns for annual giving from parents, alumnae, corpora­ tions, foundations,and friends as well as the Centennial Fund Drive. In discussing the present financial situation of the Corporation, President Rantoul mentioned that the College is breaking even and that the Museum is running at a"slight" deficit (70,000) which is to increase due to the installa­ tion of air conditioning in the Museum complex. Assessingthe contributions that he has made as President, Mr. Rantoul mentioned that there has been a dramatic im­ provement in RISD's reputation in Providence and Rhode Island.

He was the man you could ne­ ver put down-it was he who did that. Even if punched he could come back swinging--or with a good line,a line that could floor anyone. From 1930 to 19^1,Bogart played two bit ganster parts. He worked under Edward G. Rob­ inson,George Raft,James Cagney, and Sidney Greenstreet(to name just a few).One thing you could say for Bogey,he learned his stuff from the best of them. Bogey's character however was his own.Truffaut describes him as "The-man with the gun that has only one bullet left;the man with the fedora hat that changes its shape according to whether he wants to express anger or joy". Bogart worked with some of the Best Ho llywood directors ,inc lud­ ing John Huston and Nick Ray.It was Howard Hawks,Hollywood's most intelligent director who made the classic team of Bogart and Lauren Bacall.Together they made To Have and Have Not,The Big Sleep,Dark Passage,and Key Large.In my opinion Lauren Ba­ call was the only one that look­ ed right with him.Only she could say,"Anytime you want me just whistle.You know how to whistle, don't you Steve?You just put your lips together and blow."Bogart took this in stride for Bacal l was the only one that could speak back to him. Bogart was a man who would stoop to only one person,a Wo­ man.He often called them"Kid" or "Slim" or sometimes just Wonderful".He worked with the best actresses,Ingrid Bergman, Lauren B acall,Katherine Hepburn or Bette Davis.The list is in­ credible.He could floor a woman just with a look, and they loved such alot of guns around town campuses in the United States. it.In the Big Sleep he gets an and so few brains."
