The Faculty Resources Committee administers two endowed funds that support scholarly research leading to publication and/or presentation. The Faculty Research Fund was established in 1953 with a gift from the Class of 1928 and augmented by the Class of 1928 at its 50th reunion. In 2000, a generous gift from William Fletcher (class of 1966) established the Fletcher Family Fund endowment which more than doubles funds available to support faculty research.
