ROCkEFELLER FUND ENDING
AFTER 80 YEARS

tSan Francisco ChrOnicle)
The General Education Board endowed
36 years ago by John D. Rockefeller ito
encourage education within the United
States, without distinctions as to race,
sex or creed" is approaching the end of
its activities The board has disbursed
total of S225, 5,334,670 and has left in
its treasury only about $8,70O,OOO not
definitely allocated.
In the earlier years of the board the
disbursements were from interest. In
recent years the deliberate policy has
been to distribute from the principal as
well, in order to wind up the fund
The trustees are aware that despite the
vast help given by the board there is an
incalculable task ahead As Raymond
3. Fosdick. president of the board. puts
the case, they believe it better to leave
the solutions Of the future to the gener-
aions that must face the problems. The
future, Mr.. Fosdick says, "is unpredict-
able There have been frequent demon
strations that unforeseen circumstances
upset the plans of those who seek to con-
troll by the dead hand.
Thus, within generations that were
alive when Mr. Rockefeller set up this
trust, its activity is to end The good
that is has done will go on forever
