PR2Fe§Slon: SlDDEfiT OA\K A.a The Chowan College Alumni Fund has consistently become more and more effective as re gards its service to Chowan Col lege by strenghtening its ever expanding program of Christian higher education through annual gifts from alumni. The Chowan College Alumni Association has worked on spe cific projects through the years to enhance the growth and devel opment of this institution. Dur ing the 1961 campaign, the Asso ciation made its annual gifts available to the development campaign. The next year, the gifts went into the regular oper ating budget of the college. Also, gifts have been made for special causes on the campus. All of these special programs have t>een of significant value to the college. The 1964-65 Alumni Fund has received added impetus through the decision to contribute to the Chowan College library by pur chasing books. Joseph Addison, a seventeenth century English essayist, poet and man of letters once said, “Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from Chowan Grad Dean of Men At Frederick A 1955 graduate of Chowan College, Joseph H. Harkey, is Dean of Men at Frederick Col lege. Harkey has been in that position since August of 1964. Prior to his position wth Fre derick College. Harkey was as sistant professor of English at North Georgia College and then taught at Adirondack Community College in New York. The Chowan grad has finished everything but his dissertation for the Ph.D degree in English at the University of Tennessee. Mrs. Harkey is the former Nancy Carol Phillips of Detroit and they have two children, Timothy, 4, and Carol, two months. The principal trouble with the easy going fellow is that it’s so hard to get him started. generation to generation, as pre sents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn”. Addison was a m a n who sought crea tivity and responsibility through his writing and, naturally, he is referring specifically to those who write l>Mks. but he was siso apparently interested in giving succeeding generations adequate books for the purpose of gain ing knowledge and understand ing. It was with this philosophy in mind that the Alumni Associa tion’s Board of Directors adopted the “stack the books campaign” for the current year. The plan of the Alumni Fund for 1964-65 is a simple one. The Chowan College Library is in dire need of additional volumes which are needed to meet the ever increasing demands on the part of more than 1,100 students. A goal of $5,000 has been set for the Alumni Fund this year for the specific purpose of buy ing new volumes for the library. Efforts are being made to reach this goal by the time of the annual meeting on May Day, Saturday, May 1. This goal for the year is double our gOcd last year, but this is an urgent need. The library staff has estimated the average cost of each new volume at $5 each. This means that we can add a total of 1,000 volumes this year if our cam paign continues as it has started! Alumni contributors will receive credit for these gifts at the rate of one book for every $5 given. A contribu tion of $K) will render credit for ten books, $60 for twelve books and so on. Through this means the alumni will be delivering from generation to generation these presents which will con tribute to the educational oppor- tunities of all future CHOWANIANS. It is becoming apparent that the number of contributors to the Alumni Fund is increasing. For instance, there is a parti cular increase in the contribu tors who have graduated since the reopening of the college. This, as well as other factors, indicates an important step to ward better support for this great old institution. Finally, a word about the cred it for the purchase of books. The Alumni Office, cooperating with the library staff, is planning a special means of giving recogni tion to the Alumni Association for the contribution of books. A label will be placed on the in side of the cover denoting or stating that the book is given by the Chowan College Alumni As sociation, 1964-65. Also, a list of contributors, along with the number of books contributed, will be placed in an appropriate place near the checkout desk in the library. When you visit the campus you will have the opportunity of seeing the results of your investment in Christian higher education at your Alma Mater. 'FII??T OFF - lA A TWIT10WAU?T."
