These seniors may well decide to contribute a modest (but hard-earned) sum. Habit-forming purpose aside, it is slightly incongruous to write a twenty dollar check to an institution that has given you thousands in financial aid. The "success" of the Class Gift drive may depend on everyone's participation, but its effective influence on Harvard's finances will be determined by how many seniors have rich...
