Excerpt from Secretary's First Report, April, 1915: Harvard College, Class of 1914 Your Treasurer begs to submit the following report of all the receipts and expenditures of the Class Treasury from January lst, 1914, to January lst, 1915. The bank balance on January lst, 1914, has been materially increased by the pledges of members, although it is surprising what a small percentage of the class, only 65 per cent., have contributed. Another effort will be made very soon to persuade the other 35 per cent. To join in the fund and it is hoped they will cooperate quickly and generously. The amount of' money pledged for this year, still unpaid, is comparatively small, but its prompt payment would be of great assistance to the class. The expenditures of the class for the past year were rather heavy, due to the fact that the entertainments which were given during last spring were expensive and, in no case except the picnic, did they pay for themselves. The Class Day Committee was particularly successful in the management of the festivities last June and has already paid to the treasury, with the promise of another substantial sum in the near future. The Photograph Committee, which did so well with the Class Album, has repaid a good proportion of the sum lent them by the class, but their debt can be still further reduced if those who have not bought albums, would secure them from Richard D. Walker, Alpine Street, Malden, Mass, by send ing him a cheque for plus the cost of mailing. Weight of album is five pounds. Upon the advice of a number of graduates who are close ly in touch with the financial situation this year, your treasurer has deposited what money was available for invest ment in the Massachusetts Trust Company for the present, rather than follow the precedent of many previous classes who have purchased bonds and other securities.
