The Annual Giving Drive has passed the half-million dollar mark for the first time in the College's history. The drive ended with gifts and pledges totalling $502,965. The total is nearly $28,000 above the campaign goal of $475,000, and more than $62,000 above the $440,421 contributed last year. The Annual Giving Drive, which is conducted between October and June each academic year, supports the College's operating budget, which was $8.5 million for the 1972-73 fiscal year. Contributions to the annual giving fund came from alumni ($287,631); parents ($109,581); business and industry ($65,416); friends of Trinity ($30,237); and non-corporate foundations ($10,1 00). Total gifts in each category were equal to or greater than the goals which were set when the campaign was planned. Alumni gifts totaled 104 percent of the $275,000 goal, and were up about $39,000 from last year's total of $248,944. Parents made 115 percent of their $95,000 goal, and gave nearly $22,000 more than last year, when gifts totaled $88,099. Of the 3,880 contributors, 31 percent, or 1 ,202, were new contributors. Eighty-four donors joined the Founders Society with gifts of $1 ,000 or more, and 637 made gifts between $150 and $999 to become members of the Anniversary Club. "This is a milestone year for Trinity in many ways," President Lockwood said, "because it is the year the College reached its 150th anniversary. It is to the credit of our contributors and those who volunteered to work on the campaign that this year's gifts passed the half-million mark. Such support goes a long way in keeping Trinity among the leaders of small private colleges."
