Abstract:

This collection contains records of the fundraising activities of the Drexel Institute and Drexel University from 1953-1982. The collection includes records from the Three Quarter Century Fund, the Peaks of Progress Campaign, external and internal studies and reports, as well as the correspondence of presidents James Creese and William Hagerty.

This collection is divided into four series. The first series covers all fundraising sponsored by the Board of Trustees Finance Committee from 1953-1982. The series includes records from the Three Quarter Century Fund as well as the Peaks of Progress Campaign.

The second series contains Finance Committee and other administrative organizations reports which were created for internal review purposes.

The third series covers a development and fundraising study produced by the G.A. Brakeley Company for Drexel to determine Drexel's fund raising capacity. This series also includes personal correspondence of Dr. James Creese and Dr. William Hagerty.

The fourth and final series is composed of a proposal submitted by Drexel to the M.L. Annenberg foundation for new building funds. This proposal contains several black-and-white photographs of Drexel students and faculty.
