THE ALUMNI FUND

An appeal for your investment in a going• concern

The New Plan:

$2 of every contribution goes directly into the Alumni Office for maintenance, for appeals, for printing this magazine, for keeping records up to date, and for the many things which this year are being done more economically than ever before. The remainder (and this depends on you) goes directly to the College and into its funds for helping worthy students.

Every Penny You Give Over Two Dollars Helps Some Worthy Student Remain In School Any deficit that Beloit College has created in recent years has been due, not to poor management or great loss of revenue from usual sources, but to the fact that the College is helping, more than ever before, the needy student by means of scholarships and loans. In other words, if all the money spent for this worthy purpose were donated by someone or were obtained outside of the College budget itself, there would be no deficit. The College has now guaranteed expenses of the Alumni Office, thus assuring each giver that not one penny of his gift goes to "carry" the fellow who will not give. And by the way, if every one who does contribute to this cause were to do so early in the year and before his memory were jogged a couple of times by letters and cards, at least one more student could be in Beloit College than is here. In other words it costs money to appeal to you, and we'd rather spend the money to help out some student; need we say niore? BELOIT COLLEGE BULLET!.
