...Harvard Fund is sure to succeed." So said J. R. Hamlen '04, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Harvard Fund Council, when interviewed on the progress of the Fund yesterday. "The early returns to the Fund," he said, fare very encouraging. Up to the present, the average contribution has been rather higher than we expected; on the other hand, the number of men who have contributed has been somewhat lower...
...first administrative year will end on the coming June 30. What the Fund needs before that time is a large increase of relatively small subscribers. No man should be prevented from giving because he feels that he can spare only a small sum. One dollar from a man who can afford no more is just as welcome as $100 from a man who can afford that. The first principle of the Harvard Fund is that all Harvard alumni shall have a share...
Howard Elliott, president of the Harvard Overseers and of the lately-created Harvard Fund Council-not a "drive" organization but a permanent institution through which Harvard alumni will contribute annually in small amounts to the university's development and support- is a railroader of the same gauge, action, power.

The benefits promised: services of competent counsel, diversification of investments, a greater-than-average income and relief from the onus of handling securities personally. It seemed logical that at last the "poor professor" was to "get in on the ground floor" of financial opportunities that...
...University of Texas is at present enjoying, from one impersonal benefactor alone, an income of about a million and a half dollars a year. It is not a case of some preposterously wealthy and generous retired capitalist. It is not revenue from an enormous endowment fund. The income is the university's one-eighth royalty on the output of the Group 1 Oil Company, organized three years ago to drill on land that the university chanced to own. Last week the company's directors declared three monthly dividends of $250 a share on the 2,048 shares outstanding...
