University raises $5.8 million More than $5.8 million, deemed critically necessary tor the Priority Needs Phase 0f the University's Second Century program, has been ,-aised according to a report jUst released by the Second Century Committee. Combined efforts of University officials and more than 100 business and community leaders worked from Jan. 1, 1961 to the first of last month to meet and pass a three year objective of $5.5 million. The total commitments amounted to $5,817,685 from funds received, interest gained, Fed eral grants and pledges. The aim of the Prriority Needs Phase, according to the eport, was "to meet immediate and pressing needs which had to be satisfied before a program of general academic enrichment could be inaugurated." "The primary assignment of the funds was to cover the construction of two buildings, a school of law and a science center. The balance was earmarked to meet increased operational expenses incurred through an acceleration of academic strengthening during the three-year campaign peri od," the report stated. Already completed is one of San Francisco's b e t e r architectural achievements in recent years, Kendrick Hall, the university's school of law. named after Charles Kendrick, Co-chairman of the Second Century Committee. The building cost was $1,565,000. The Harney Science Center, now under construction, is scheduled for completion for the end of this year. The cost will be $3,200,000. From June of 1962 to the end of this year, $731,676 will have been earmarked for "ac ademic strengthening and increased operational expense." The report continues: "Exceptional teachers have been adedd to the University faculty, new academic programs have been introduced, and faculty salary and benefits increased significantly." When the program was begun, in 1961, "It was truly said that this Priority Needs Phase would be a turning point in the 107-year history of point in the 107-year history of the University. Its success was a critical necessity . . . Not only does the success of this Priority Needs campaign hold practical importance for the University and its future, but also it provides reassurance and an added measure of dedication to the task ahead," the report said. Beside the enterprise involved in raising such an amount, the cost of reaching the more than $5.8 million sum was unusually small. One per cent or $58,176.85 was used to reach the goal. Similar fund raising efforts involving professional fund raising organizations, many secretaries and assistants cost as much as ten per cent of the total commitments.
