Book of Memory Helps
College for Future Years
The preface page of the Book of Memory (shown on
this page) explains the purpose of the Book of Memory
and indicates that these gifts go to the General Endow
ment of the college.
Chowan College needs General Endowment! Funds
which are placed in the General Endowment of the col
lege are not used. Only the income from these funds is
used in the operation and growth of the college. Here
is an example. Considering a college with an endow
ment of $1,000,000.00, figuring at the rate of interest of
4 per cent, means that the college will have an annual
income of $40,000.00. This means that the college would
be able to use this $40,000.00 in the operation of the col
lege and improvement of facilities. Numerous phases
of the college’s work would benefit. Scholarships would
be increased, faculty salaries would be higher, better
equipment would be available and numerous other
things of similar nature would make for a better aca
demic situation.
The Endowment Committee of Chowan College is ac
tive. In fact, the committee has recently made the
statement that Chowan College needs $2,000,000.00 in
endowment during the next decade. The Book of
Memory and other gifts through wills and trusts will
certainly help toward reaching this goal.
Already, the gifts to the Book of Memory have made
a significant contribution to the General Endowment
of Chowan College. When you make a contribuution to
the General Endowment memorializing the memory
of a deceased loved one or friend, you are contributing
to a fund that will produce income for many years to
come. You will not only be honoring your loved ones
and friends, but you will be helping your people who
consistently knock upon the doors of this institution for
an education. Please use the coupon on this page for
the purpose of making your contribution and memor
ializing the memory of your loved ones and friends.
