P&S Annual Report
Development
The Alumni Fund/P&S Alumni Association

The 1995-96 Annual Fund campaign conducted by the P&S Alumni Association generated nearly $8 million for the medical school. The success of the campaign is a credit to the remarkable generosity of P&S alumni and friends, says Abbie I. Knowlton'42, chairman of the 1995-96 fund. 

The amount raised is an extraordinary achievement in itself but is even more impressive because it represents a sustained giving level for P&S over the past several years. Few schools can match the loyalty and pride of P&S graduates, a loyalty that serves as the basis for the many achievements at P&S. 

Nearly 3,000 alumni (48 percent of all alumni) gave gifts this year, joining the 309 friends who contributed to the $7.8 million total. 

During 1995-96, P&S expanded its fund-raising capacity to double the school's endowment, create a 21st Century Fund to provide seed money for promising programs, increase the number of fully endowed professorships from 43 (established during our 222-year history from 1767 to 1989) to a total of 65 endowed professorships in seven years. 

Other members of the Annual Fund Committee are Richard J. Stock'47 (co-chairman), Mitchell C. Benson'77, Ron Cohen'81, Stanley Edelman'53, Andrew G. Frantz'55, Henry Clay Frick II'44, Oscar B. Garfein'65, Donald A. Gerber'57, Marcia A. Gerber'67, William Gomez'82, Stephen M. McCoy'37, George R. Merriam Jr.'41, Anke L. Nolting, Marguerite A. Pennoyer'82, John N.
