Matching Gift Program Adds Financial Help Recent information from a number of foundations and large corporations has pointed out that matching gifts pro grams whereby these compan ies and foundations match the gifts of employees to education al institutions is proving to be an important source of financial strength for the growth and de velopment of private institu tions in particular. The Alumni Office at Chowan College has pointed out that Chowan graduates should inves tigate in individual cases where their company, in the event they are employed by such, pro vides matching gifts. In many cases the corporations or found ations will match the gifts of alumni dollar for dollar. A good example is the cor porate alumnus program of the General Electric Foundation which is ending its tenth year of operation. This was activated on January 1, 1955 and, since that time, employees and direc tors of the General Electric Company have reported contri butions totahng $3,631,403 and $2,582,469 of that amount has been matched by the Founda tion. This means that $6,213,872 has gone to the support of higher education. Programs Adopted Aproximately 250 similar programs have been adopted by other foundations and busi ness organizations, and the Council for Financial Aid to Ed ucation last year credited this concept with generating over $20,000,000 in new money for the colleges. This has served as an incentive for alumni giving and, in the case of the General Electjric Company, employee gifts to colleges averaged atjout $18.00 in 1954. This increased to an average of $38.21 for parti cipants in the program in 1955 and, the most recent figures, $46.62 average in 1963. It is es timated t h at approximately 63,000, employees and Directors of the General Electric Com pany are eligible to have their gifts matched. Attendance for one year is required and the maximum eligible gift for matching is $2,000 annually. Contact Alumni Office Alumni who may be interes ted in this type program, parti cularly in case the person works for a company which has a similar program, should inves tigate these possibilities and, if need be, contact the Alumni Office at Chowan College for ad ditional information.

(ACP)—If some college courses were judged on a monetary basis —$21 for three credit hours—the University of Oklahoma would be forced to set up a bargain table at the end of enrollment, says the OKLAHOMA DAILY. Take for example, a class in which the professor consistently arrives 10 or 15 minutes late. Since he makes a habit of tardi ness and teaches only a part of the class period, shouldn’t that class sell for about $17.35. Or, on the other hand, the class where the teacher runs out of material 15 or 20 minutes before the hour and usually lets his class out early should be quite a bargain at $12.60. A class where a professor never really is prepared or where he uses outdated, yellowed notes should go for about 25 per cent discount, or perhaps $16.75. A class taught by a teacher whose tests haven’t been changed since he got his doctorate and are in wide circulation probably should go at about half price. An unchallenging teacher could be rated on a sliding scale from about $8.50 to $15, taking into consideration the amount of class discussion, completeness of ma terial, size of class and number of times jokes are repeated per semester. A professor who uses his class as a personal soap box for political, religious or social harangues could sell for about two for $5. If a course combined several of these sales points, say a tardy professor with 10-year-old jokes, it could sell for about $8.98. Sir, are you an $11.98 profes sor? FOR MARCH. 1965 PAGE NINETEEN
