Alumni Bequest Committee Brings Objectiues Before Community
AFTER functioning quietly over a period of several
months the alumni committee studying a program
for encouraging bequests to the University brought
its objectives before the community on' January 30.
Following a dinner meeting at the University Club
for attorneys and bank trust officers, Co-chairmen
Cornelius R. Wright, '09, and John W. Remington,
'17, explained briefly the University's need for additional
endowment funds and outlined the way in
which bequests may be made to the- university.
Bequests are sought particularly as additions to the
General Endowment Fund from which the trustees
may assign funds whenever and wherever most needed
within the University. In addition, bequests are
-R-
sought for the endowment of specific colleges and
schools within the university, for special purposes including
scholarships and fellowships, additions to
buildings, endowed chairs, research, and other
projects.
In a specially-prepared booklet now being distributed,
these needs are enumerated, estimates are given,
and examples of past bequests and their use detailed.
In order better to acquaint non-alumni with the
University, several pages of concise facts concerning
enrollment, services, and budget are included.
The result is a concisely-presented explanation of
the University's operation, its specific needs, and its
financial position, together with bequest examples.
HCentennial Ode" Recordings Available to Alumni, Alumnae

and alumnae, students, faculty and others, the University

"Ode" performed at the Centennial convocations
need no urging to obtain the recording. It is more
than a souvenir of the Centennial. It is ageless, and
future generations will turn to it for its inspiring music
and message. As a Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
editorial described the composition, "it expresses in
measured words and a dramatic, frequently impassioned
score, an outlook and a perspective that have
nothing to do with time.
"In a special sense this is a Rochester possession.
No other university in the land could have furnished
the composer, the script writer, the musicians to play
the score and the chorus to sing it. The combined fruit
is an honor to the University and its rich resources.
Dr. Hanson has written one of his most noteworthy
scores . .. It has' freshness and color and drama. Many
hearings would be needed to explore all the lights and
shadows."
