a - Executive Direction of Fund

The Richmond Headquarters were closed July 9th, at which
date the executive direction of the Fund passed to the Alumni
Secretary's Office. A sum, not exceeding $10,000, was appropriated
from the Fund for the purpose of financing the Alumni
Office, in order that it might properly carry on this work.
I have strongly recommended that Mrs. Noland be employed in
the Alumni Office, for the purpose of carrying on the work of
the Fund, with which she is, or course, absolutely familiar.
