MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE GIFT BOOSTS CAMPAIGN TO NEW HEIGHTS hanks to the million dollar challenge T gift from the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation of New York announced in April, plans for the Leaming Center have been accelerated and the Cardigan Trustees are more confident than ever that the full $5-million campaign goal will be reached. At their May meeting, the Trustees approved the next step in the building process, submitting the plans for final bids. Commented Board President Savage C. Frieze, "When the bids are in, we can go ahead with the actual groundbreaking, hopefully soon enough so that we can take advantage of this summer's good weather for building. 'Tm still concerned, however, that before we do move ahead that we can see solid evidence that we can raise the necessary endowment not only to make the Leaming Center function but to undergird our entire academic program.
This extraordinarily generous pledge from the Johnson Foundation makes our vision very much clearer." The terms of the challenge provide that the Foundation will match, on a one-fortwo dollar basis, all gifts to the campaign, for the building and the endowment. · Director of Development, Schuyler V. Peck '63 termed the progress "most encouraging." He said: "From where we started when the challenge was announced, full qualification will take us very close to $5-million, and we're sure to do better than barely qualifying each year. ··Another plus factor is our Annual Fund which will exceed $90,000 again this year - and that's over and above the campaign results!" This issue carries a complete list of donors to date as well as a pledge form for the convenience of those who may have misplaced theirs.
