COPYRIGHT 1962 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ALUMNI MAGAZINE Return Postage Guaranteed The President Writes Wm. S. Catherwood, '42 As summer fades and another academic year begins, we are presented with an opportunity to make the coming year a truly memorable one for Georgetown-through Annual Giving. Five hundred alumni in seventy areas throughout the country have offered to work on the 1962·63 campaign and many more are signing up daily. But to fulfill Georgetown's continuing quest for excellence, more willing hands are needed. Our workers made last year's drive the best in the University's history. And, as success breeds success, all signs portend a greater year to come, providing we' have the full support of our local alumni. The priceless ingredient is leadership. And each Georgetown Alumni Club can and must provide that leadership at the grass·roots. Last year for example, Cleveland Club Alumni under Joe Sussen's leadership increased gifts 178 percent with 53 percent of all alumni in the area making a donation. Last year's fund gave scholarships to needy students, pay raises . to worthy professors, additional books for our libraries, equipment for our athletic programs and, in countless ways, helped meet the University's operating deficit- incurred, as every alumnus knows, because tuition just doesn't meet costs. ALL GIFTS ARE IMPORTANT, REGARDLESS OF THEIR SIZE. Here is a breakdown of gifts to the 1961-1962 Fund: Size of Gifts Number of Donors Total Given $27,500 1 $27,500 10,000·20,000 1 12,802 5,000·1 0,000 3 21,006 2,500·4,999 6 18,928 1,000·2,499 19 25,570 500·999 31 17,253 250-499 34 10,509 100-249 399 45,520 50-99 343 18,041 1-49 4,390 56,475 The opening of the much needed Science Center calls for an expansion of our faculty and staff-a heavy investment in prestige which will redound to the benefit of every Georgetown man. This, plus the many im· provements which every one of Georgetown's nine schools is making should surely increase your pride in your alma mater and your willingness to join the march forward. Our workers currently cover areas comprising 14,600 out of the total 30,000 alumni. Many of you cannot be reached personally, so we must rely on the U.S. mailmen as our solicitors. By answering our requests by mail you can help cut down on the task cut out for our workers. The forthcoming local campaign is scheduled to end on November 30. But only if we have a substantial increase in our returns can we stop soliciting alumni on that date: How can you help? l. Send in your contribution by mail, now, while you think of it. 2. Offer to aid your local Club President or write to Chairman Paul Coughlin at Alumni House, telling him of your willingness to help. Through your efforts, we can write a new page in Georgetown's glorious history. Bear in mind that no one will be asked to do more than he can handle. But also remember that the need is great. The time is now. WILLIAM S. CATHERWOOD, III, '42 President, 1962-1964 4 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ALUMNI MAGAZINE Byzantium Hears the Voice of the Pope By dent Harry Truman.
