Foundation's Task
To Improve College
fcdtm.rir,
Editors N te: This re
port on the Nebraska Foun
dation is the third in a
series of three articles
written by staff writer Dan
Looker.
by Dan Looker
In 1936, the University of
Nebraska Foundation was
chartered, to strengthen the
University through private
support, according to
Harry R. Haynie, president
of the Foundation.
Fewer than 2000 alumni
In 1948 gave to the Founda
tion and the organization's
income was under $300,000.
The number of contributing
alumni has increased to
over 8000 in 1966 and the
Foundation's income was
$2.8 million i!:at vear.
ALUMNI CONTRIBUTE
Edward J. Hirsch, vice
presdent of the Founda
ation, added that the per
centage of alumni partici
pating in the program has
also been increasing.
"Ten percent of all
alumni were involved three
years ago," he said, "and
that number has increased
to 15 this year." The
Foundation expects to re
ceive over $400,000 from
this group in 1967.
As further evidence of the
Foundation's burgeoning
growth Hirsch noted that
its total assets have
doubled in the last five
years from $5 million in
a962 to $10.5 million in 1967.
In addition to growing in
size and importance, he
continued, the Nebraska
Foundation is strong by na
tional standards.
The most recent figures,
released by the American
Alumni Council and the
Council For Financial Aid
to Education for 1965-66,
rank Nebraska 5th in the
Big Eight for t tal support
and 3rd for alumni gifts to
the annual fund.
RATES 10TH
Hirsch added that Ne
braska was 10th in the na
tion in alumni gifts to t h e
annual fund (to public in
stitutions), receiving $366,
461 in 1964-"5.
The University was be
hind only the University of
Kansas and the University
of Missouri in the E'.g
Eight. (They were eighth
and ninth respectively; the
University of Michigan was
first in the nation, (of all
public institutions).
While support of 10 to
15 of the alumni is. con
sidered average for a pub
lic university, some schools
are more successful.
Kansas University, which
is noted for its strong pri
vate support, receives an
nual donations frm about
20 of its alumni.
Foundation officials feel
that the most important
source of support is the
alumni. One of the Founda
tion's major goals is to in
crease this support.
They are attempting to do
this by reaching more of
the alumni and by inform
ing the students, through
their leaders and various
campus organizations, of
the Foundation's programs.
"Many young graduates
feel that contributing to the
Foundation obligates them
to give several hundred
dollars," Haynie explained,
"so they give nothing, not
realizing that the majority

PROGRAM INITIATED
In order to reduce the
ten or fifteen year lag be
tween graduation and the
time when most alums
start contributing, the
Foundation is considering
initiating a senior donation
program.
A step toward reaching
more of the alumni was
taken last sumrrer when
the Nebraska Alumni Asso
ciation, which is a separate
organization, made an
agreement with the Ne
braska Foundation to send
its Alumnus magazine to all
University graduates.
Previously, the magazine
went only to the Associa
tion members, who paid a
membership fee, which did
not go to the Foundation,
Hirsch explained.
The Alumnus wf'l now be
sent to all alumni free of
charge and only one re
quest for donations will be
made, with the money
going to the Foundation.
Both organizations will
remain separate in all other
functions, Hirsch added.

hanced by the University
students who serve as
guides."

cal program on a direct
par with New York fare is
now selling season tickets,
according to Robert Narve
son, president of Lincoln
Friends of Chamber Mus
ic. Naverson, a professor at

the great success of the

to the first rate quality of
the musicians and to the
superb acoustics of the

torium. "While we have high
hopes for this year's ser
ies, as it would actually be
hard to come closer to the
ideal," Narveson stated,
referring to the two former
years of the organization's
