HOW HIGH CAN YOU REACH?
Halfway through the 1971-72 Cornell Fund campaign, dollars
pledged are 14 percent ahead of last year. Obviously, with no
dramatic challenge grant, Cornellians are challenging themselves
to reach higher than ever before.
Their reasons are good. They know that inflation, cuts in state
and federal support, and budget restrictions must not interfere
with the educational excellence and progress of Cornell. Thanks
to previous Cornell Fund successes and the University's effective
cost-cutting program, our financial position is one envied by many
other major universities.
Cornell is a great university, moving ahead through a difficult
financial period affecting higher education everywhere. She needs
and deserves your support. How high can you reach?
The Tower Club? At one time, the majority of Tower Club gifts to
the Cornell Fund were near the $1,000 level. Now 37 percent of the
gifts and 78 percent of the current Tower Club dollar total comes
in pledges of $1,500 or more, and Tower Club gifts are 20 percent
ahead of last year at this time.
The Charter Society? Founding members of this new group,
which honors donors in the $500 to $999 range, have already
pledged a total 50 percent higher than the figure for this class of
gift a year ago.
Cornell Challengers? Alumni in general are exceeding last year's
performance in every category below $500. This growth must be
increased sharply for the future strength of Cornell.
Whether you have pledged or not,
use the coupon to reach higher.
