Living Endowment
Continues to Grow
61 New Members in Student Body
Of interest to our entire student body
is the continued growth of the Living En
dowment fund, which was started by last
year’s graduating class. This fund is sup
ported by the alumnae, and already their
pledges will provide approximately 40 $100
work scholarships for Montreat students.
Last spring the Senior Class chose this
project as their senior gift to the school.
Any expense incurred through the solicita
tion of alumnae for this fund is paid by
them.
