OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PHILLIPS ACADEMY ALUMNI FUND TO THE ALUMNI :— The past year for the Alumni Fund was, in many respects, by far the most successful of any yet recorded. The total amount received about doubles that of any previous year. The number of subscriptions, however, did not increase as it should have done, not quite reaching a thousand, and as the number of living alumni totals eight thousand we should have at least 25% or two thousand subscriptions each year. The war prevented many of the younger alumni who were in the service from subscribing and it was probably due to that alone that the numbers were not greater. The average amount for each subscriber of about $20.00 far exceeds any previous year and to the alumni who have subscribed so generously in previous years we extend our heartiest thanks. The school is continuing as in the past to be fully representative of America, practically every state in the Union and many foreign countries being represented in the student body. In order that the work continue and that the faculty and equipment be continually strengthened and enlarged, it is necessary that the alumni continue to give the school even more whole-hearted support than in the past. It is now the custom for the contribution of the reunion classes each year to be added to the school endowment and the contributions of the non-reunion classes to be devoted to current income. Of the total amount $18,585.89 contributed by the different classes last year, $9018.96 was devoted to current income and $9566.93 to endowment. These sums are the largest ever received in any one year for the two accounts respectively. The class of '94 at its 25th reunion in June presented the school as a foundation for its class fund $5000.00, thus breaking all records and, it is hoped, setting a precedent for other classes at their 25th reunion. The class of '99 at its 20th reunion in June presented the school with $1,843.43 as will be noticed from the below-mentioned report. The Alumni Fund has now added to the school endowment during the thirteen years of its history over $78,000.00, and as the amount is added to each year there is an ever-increasing source of income from the interest. In the same length of time there has been added to the current income of the school over $77,000.00. It can thus be seen that without the Alumni Fund many of the school activities such as military training, publishing of Bulletins and other very necessary items, might have to be curtailed. If this amount of money and these activities can be furnished by a thousand of the alumni, we could certainly get far better results if we could have three to four thousand of the alumni contributing. |
