...Some undergraduates do not agree with the University's investment policy, and thus do not feel morally right in donating money directly to Harvard. The Endowment for Divestiture allows those students to give money to Harvard without supporting its investment policy. By allowing E4D to use our office and by having mutual officers, we insure its perpetuation into the new academic years. Therefore, the Council provides a service to its contituents. However, this does not imply institutional preference for the Endowment over the Senior Class gift. That is a decision to be left to each senior...

They assert that there is no contradiction-in giving to both funds. We disagree. In believing that contributions to the Harvard College Fund indicate tacit support of the University's current South Africa investment policy, we call upon seniors to examine the merits of the issues involved and to consider denating to Harvard only through the Endowment for Divestiture. We sincerely hope that this money will go towards undergraduate education. The money...
