To raise a fund of $10,000,000 for the unrestricted use of the University is the program announced this morning by the Harvard Endowment Fund Committee. The formation of this Committee and the launching of its campaign come as a result of the constantly increasing financial needs of the University without a corresponding increase in resources. The want of money for proper laboratory and scientific equipment, and for the payment of sufficient salaries to the corps of instructors led to the formal consideration of the problem by the Alumni Association and adoption of the following resolution, after conference with the President and Fellows:

Voted, That the Directors of the Harvard Alumni Association shall appoint a committee of 15 of the alumni of Harvard University, to be known as the "Harvard Endowment Fund Committee." The duty of this committee shall be to organize the alumni for the solicitation of contributions to said fund and to solicit funds therefor."

The committee thus appointed was selected from classes so as to cover a period of 45 years; and after reorganization is constituted as follows:
