At the close of our fiscal year $102,935.31 had 1918 64 19 29.7 932.00 been received. This will be the official accounting figure for the 1919 90 30 33.3 1100.00 1965 Alumni Fund Drive, but I must point out that an additional 1920 168 34 20.2 3870.00 $6,673.75 will be received from Matching Gift Companies as a 1921 153 44 28.7 1020.50 direct result of gifts received during our 1965 fiscal year.
