Williams alumni meet as Sawyer cites $4 to $5 million yearly need
Williams College reports Phase II overrun of $2.1 million toward a 175th anniversary capital fund campaign. President John E. Sawyer says the college must raise $4–$5 million annually for capital needs through the 1970s to ensure stability, noting $34 million in capital gifts and pledges in the 1960s. Alumni elect new trustees, present cups for fund participation, and announce a 1970 Alumni Fund goal of $710,000. Ends with Airman James Gordon Woodard completing basic training.
