...Eighth Annual Report of the Harvard Fund Council, which was just been published and mailed to all Harvard College Alumni, contains the names of 6,626 men who contributed to the Fund in 1933--the largest number of contributors there have ever been. This record is exceptional considering the present financial conditions and the fact that in the boom year of 1929 there were only 5,976 donors.

Bets were that President Daniel Willard of Baltimore & Ohio would be the first to fall in line. But last week another railroad man, who also keeps his tracks to the White House clear, came forward with the first plan. President Fred Wesley Sargent of Chicago & North Western informed the I. C.
