Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Record of the Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, Vol. 17: October, 1942 That the Alumni will approve this procedure, we do not doubt. This does not mean that the Alumni Fund is any less important than heretofore, on the contrary it is Of greater importance, Since there-will be, by reason Of the demands of the War, a considerable falling Ofi in the number Of Students in attendance the approaching session. That means, of course, the loss Of revenue. NO reason is seen, however, with the reduced cost of Operating the Fund, why there should not be realized a net sum equal to, if not greater. Than, the sum realized last year. The college is making a tremendous contribution to our armed forces. Approximately 30 per cent Of our living Alumni are in some branch of the service. It, therefore, especially behooves those Of us who for one reason or another are not eligible for active duty to carry on for those Who are so gallantly serving their country.
