CORAV'S CORNER
It was a refreshing and inspiring experience to have Billy and Ruth Graham back
on campus for a couple of days. Folks who
were here in the early forties thought the
years had roIled back, for it was the same
Billy and Ruth who greeted faculty members and other friends of coIlege days in
the same easy and friendly manner.
Hamilton Sinclair, who presented the
Alumni Distinguished Service Award, did
a masterful job. He reminded Billy that
the sun never sets on Wheaton alumni who
pray for him in his strategic ministry to
the trIaSses.
\'Vhat a heritage it is to belong to the
Wheaton family, who pray for one another
and for our Alma Mater whose future
alumni are now in training!

We Will Top These Percentages
Two recent newspaper items which we quote below
should be a challenge to Wheaton alumni. While the
total amount of Yale and Dartmouth funds is out of
rea::h of Wheaton alumni for the present, we should
be able to equal their participation record. The future
of Wheaton is as important to us as the future of Yale
and of Dartmouth is to their alumni.
"Yale University today reported a 1955-56 alumni
fund total of $1,603,323, which the University said
was 'the largest gift of unrestricted funds ever contributed to a college or university through its alumni
fund in any one year.' This year's total is an increa se of $301,000 or 23 per cent over last year's
and came from more than 29,000 alumni and friends
of Yale. It marked the sixth straight year in which
alumni contributions have gone over the $1,000,000
mark." (Boston Herald, July 12.)
"The Dartmouth College alumni fund today announced the most successful drive in its 42-year history which raised $860,000, 11 per cent above the
goal. Contributions came from more than 70 per
cent of alumni, together with a record contribution
from 1291 parents of Dartmouth undergraduates."
(Boston Hemld, July 9.)
