Summer Kadson Reporter Private giving to the University of Kansas in the last year reached $6,452,034.79, according to the figures announced at the annual meeting of the Kansas University Endowment Association trustees, June 1.
The total represents gifts, bequests, grants and income earned from Association investments.
The amount for the year was exceeded by the total of the previous year, when receipts were swelled by a major gift from the Spencer Foundation for construction of the recently completed $2,125,000 Kenneth Spencer Research Library.
Otherwise, all records were
broken last year—both in the total value of gifts and the number of donors which amounted to 17,000.
Many of the gifts were sums of $5 to $10 from recent graduates.
Larger gifts to the University included a bequest of $25,000 to establish the Earline Lockwood Loan Fund for students in journalism; the David H. Wenrich Fund, to be used for the purchase of special books in the field of Zoology; the Dr. C. F. Rumold Scholarship Fund; the Dr. Claude J. Hunt Fund, for a scholarship and lectureship at the Medical Center; the Warren Bellows Professorship in engineering and the Franklin E. Reed Scholarship.
Other funds are the Grover Simpson Fund, for a special laboratory and treatment center for respiratory diseases; the Pauline Ketchum Scholarship Fund for students in music; the Howard Fuqa Scholarship Fund; the Bessie Wilder Scholarship Fund and the Ellis B. Stouffer Professorship Fund in mathematics.
The Endowment Association is now a $25 million organization with approximately $10 million in a merged fund which is invested by a finance committee.
Student loans also established a new record at $724,632. This figure does not include large amounts loaned to students through the National Defense
Student Loan program or the United Aid Fund.
Expenditures for scholarships, fellowships and prizes increased $17,000 this year to $884,229.
Re-elected president of the Endowment Association was Dolph Simons of Lawrence.
New officers were also announced at the Association's annual meeting.
Other officers re-elected were vice-president L. H. Ruppenthal, second vice-president Olin K. Petefish, secretary Irvin E. Youngberg, assistant-secretary Maurice E. Barker, treasurer Arthur B. Weaver and assistant-treasurer Carl H. Lavery.
