ilumni and friends joined in
supporting that effort.
Ben Hay Hammet, director
ataimni and public rela-
i, said advanced special
[gifts work has been under-
jway for the past several
weeks and is bringing a sig
nificant response. A brochure
depicting the program and
t its aims is scheduled to be
mailed late this week as the
general solicitat.ons begin in
earnest.
He said an anonymous $5,-
000 challenge grant has been
offered to the program if 40
per cent of the alumni take
part this year. The participa
tion rate hit 38.5 per cent in
1965.
The $100,000 target was es
tablished by the board of di
rectors of the Presbyterian
College Alumni Association,
charged with the responsibil
ity for the Annual Giving
program. Objectives within
the total program are: $70 -
000 for academic purposes,
including scholarships and
faculty salary increases: and
$30,000 for the Walter John
son Club, alumni athletic or
ganization, for athletic grants
in-aid.
Annual Giving is consider
ed one of the primary means
of underwriting the current
operating costs of Presbyter
ian College. For the past sev
eral years, it has produced
more income than the re
turns from invested endow
ment.
Last year, PC was cited
among the top small colleges
in the nation bby the Ameri*
can Alumni Council in terms
of alumni support.
