An all-time record of $2,347,596 for the 1963-1964 Harvard College Fund was collected, according to Louis W. Cabot '43, of Boston, chairman of the Fund Council.
The record amount, a gain of $670,818 or 40 per cent over the previous high of $1,676,778 a year ago, was given by 18,619 alumni and 1,194 parents and friends. About 28 per cent of the College alumni contributed.
Reunion Classes gave 58 per cent of the record total, Mr. Cabot said.
The 25th Reunion Class of 1939 gave $510,000, largest amount ever given by a Class in a one-year period.
The Fund is the annual giving program for unrestricted current-use gifts in support of Harvard College.
