GEORGIA TECH FOUNDATION ELECTS OFFICERS FOR 1957

WILLIAM C. WARDLAW

IVAN ALLEN, JR.

H E N R Y W. G R A D Y

Ivan Allen, Jr., '33, outstanding Atlanta business and civic leader, has been elected president of the Georgia Tech Foundation for the 1957 year, according to an announcement by Walter Mitchell, '23, present head of the organization dedicated to the financial support of education in Georgia. Other officers elected by the Foundation Board of Trustees include William C. Wardlaw, Jr., '28, vice president, and Henry W. Grady, '18, treasurer. Roane Beard, '40, is acting secretary for the Foundation. Mr. Allen, a past president of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association, headed the Joint Tech-Georgia Development Campaign of 1955-56 for the Foundation. The campaign, Tech's most successful in history, raised over $234,000 for the Foundation. The funds are being used to supplement faculty salaries and purchase needed equipment for Georgia Tech. Mr. Wardlaw and Mr. Grady are both former officers and trustees of the Georgia Tech National Association. They were also active in the 1955-56 campaign to secure much-needed funds for Tech through the Foundation. The Georgia Tech Foundation, a non-profit educational organization, has been active in Tech affairs since 1932. In the past 11 years, the Foundation has contributed over $700,000 for the benefit of Georgia Tech. Not one cent of this amount has been spent on athletics at Tech. Today, 21 outstanding Tech alumni form the Board of Trustees which directs the Foundation in its activities. Tech Alumnus
