Harvard fundraisers probably won't be seen passing the hat at September's 350th celebration, but judging by the alumni the University chose to invite as class representatives, attendance at the event is in part a reward for past giving and service to the alma mater--with the implicit hope that such generosity continues after the big party...
During four years of paper writing, I have usually found that extra effort is rarely rewarded.
