One Million Dollars will be the goal of the Charity Chest of the Fur Industry in its second annual campaign which will be launched on January 17th, and will continue for three days. This sum is more than double what the industry contributed last year, and will aid one thousand institutions in this country and abroad, irrespective of race, color or creed.
The campaign will be opened with a dinner at the Hotel Biltmore on Sunday evening, January 17th.
From the million dollar budget for 1926, the Fur Charity Chest expects to give to Federations of various denominations–Catholic, Protestant and Jewish, representing 148 individual organizations, $160,000; to hospitals and aftercare, which include 152 different institutions, will be allotted $170,000; to orphanages and child care, representing 70 separate organizations, $80,000; charity and relief, representing 168 units, $120,000; aged and infirm, representing 18 institutions, $35,000; miscellaneous institutions, 198 in number, $90,000; for education, supplied by 167 societies, $60,000; for foreign activities, representing 43 appeals, $60,000; to endowment camp and building funds for 34 separate groupings, $145,000, and to the Fur Foundation, a welfare organization for members of the fur industry, $50,000.
For the first term of the present academic year at the Dropsie College, Philadelphia, the enrollment was 62 students of whom 29 are in the regular courses and 33 in the evening course. The regular courses have 25 men and 4 women and the evening course 17 women and 16 men, according to the report made to the Board of Governors by Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of the College.
