campaign con ducted by last year's graduating class a total of 505 has been pledged to the university by 101 public-spirited students according to a report of william g cook alumni secretary the plan was conceived last spring by nancy lou knowlton then president of norton union and a student leader during her undergraduate career pointing out that the cost of education is greater than the amount any stu dent pays in fees and tuition she proposed that the senior class leave a practical memorial to itself upon graduation in the form of a fund she suggested that each senior pledge himself to give the univer sity one dollar a year for ave years the money to be set up a the nucleus of an alumni loyalty fund the idea quickly caught the in terest of her classmates and a campaign was conducted among the campus classes later it spread to the medical school where a good beginning was made but be cause of the sudden death of jean s hahl class secretary plans were changed and the class decid ed to erect a memorial to her in the medical school library the dental school seniors de cided not to adopt the plan this year but one member did subse quently subscribe to it no action was taken by the
