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.
