A CALL TO THE ALUMNI

 

A CALL TO THE ALUMNI

 

Hi,

When I retired I started an endowment in  YOUR name!  It was S.O.S. fund – Sam’s Old Students Fund. I contributed 60 k and collected money from some old students. (full list is missing. Remember some names: Vai. Ramanathan(84 ZOO 14), Nagashanmugam(ZOO 78), senthilkumar(PGZ85), Mrs. Vanitha(PGZ 85), Vaitheeswaran (ZOO78), Sriram(ZOO?). Each contributed 10k). This fund – 1.53 lakhs - was to help some financially  needy students – preferably first generation students. But during the last regiment in our college, nothing happened to this endowment.

After the change in the principalship, I approached Principal JPaul Jayakar and Bursar Beulah. They could not find the fate of that endowment. But they started the endowment properly as a new account.(Receipt of it is attached.)

In 2003 1.5 lakhs looked grand to me then. But now it is almost a  pittance. I would like to restart the endowment with more funds and wish to add one lakh from my side and get something more from you all.

I know how every alumnus loves our college. Your contribution may help you keep an umbilical relationship with the college. I wish and expect many of you join in this venture.

I WANT CONTRIBUTION FROM YOU. Shall we have 5k as the minimum contribution?

All details of money you contribute will be recorded in a post  (https://americancoll.blogspot.com/2025/08/sos-fund-details-of-your-contribution.html)  in this blog. After a month the money would be given to the bursar to be credited in the endowment. Further info would be regularly added to that post.
