Despite the diploma riots of last spring, the Class of 1961 has more than doubled the amount the Class of '60 contributed to the Harvard Fund during its first half-year after graduation.
Figures released by the Harvard Fund Council showed a $160,000 increase. At the year's end, 13% of '61's members had given $1,531, as compared to '60's 9% and $684. With the official year ending June 30, 1962, the Class of '61 has already collected 51% of its $3,000 goal, which, if reached, will top the '60 total of $2,425.
The large increase over the preceding year stems in part from the organizational effort of Charles Ravenel '61 and his associates in each House who acquainted the senior class with the Harvard Fund before graduation. The group gave pledge cards to each member of the class in addition to a pamphlet entitled "The Harvard Fund and the Class of '61."
