Alice D. Snyder FundSome 2,200 alumnae have received either a personal or a circular letter asking for contributions to the memo* rial fund in the honor of the late Alice I). Snyder, Professor of English at Vassar, and at the time of her sudden death in February, 1943, Chairman of the Department. But our committee is only too conscious that we must have failed to reach many of her friends who would like to join in 1 he movement to perpetuate her name in the college where she taught so successfully for more than thirty years.The income of the fund will be used for the benefit of tlie English Department in such specific ways as the Department may decide upon annually. Since Alice Snyder was a many-sided person, a scholar of distinction in the difficult field of Coleridgean prose with a strong interest in people and in all movements furthering social justice, the method of honoring her memory may vary from year to year. Some appropriate uses of the income might be: the purchase of additions to Miss Snyder's own collection of rare editions of Coleridge and Coleridgiana which has been given to our library by her three brothers; a lecture by a literary or social critic; if the fund is large enough, some form of scholarship aid for a student of marked ability in English.Gifts of any size will be should be made out to the Alice D. Snyder Fund and mailed to me at Alumnae House before April 1. We hope to announce the completion of the fund at Commencement, April 19, 1944. By vote of the Directors, the project has the approval of the A.A.V.C. Gifts may be deducted from federal income tax.Amy L. Reed, Chairmangratefully received. Checks
