I don't have knowledge of any current plans for potential ECAC membership upgrades in facilites.. From a conversation I had, it appears to me that the outlay will come after ECAC acceptance. People with means will have to step up. I'm told that Phil Gibson is doing a fine job in the athletic fund raising area. Endowment is up but take a look at Bill Durgin's recent letter and you'll see that we are at or near the bottom in many categories, e.g., endowment per student, relative to our peers. When I last looked, HC Fund participation was 36% as of this morning with only a week to go in the campaign. Fifty percent is the benchmark and barring some windfall we will fall abysmally short. Appalling to say the least! Further, booster club activity will not kick in, if it kicks in at all, until the LHTC is over...2006. In my view, unless there are alumni who want to give major amounts restricted to hockey, and I mean MAJOR, we aren't going far with a new or renovated facility. I think often of a post by Rick a few weeks back to the effect that we are trying to compete as an Ivy League school with resources that do not match up. We can compete academically but the athletics is quite another issue.

Where may one find Durgan's letter? In addition, the communications effort by the school is abysmal. I did a random survey of fellow alums during a HC Club gathering and not one knew that you could contribute to an athletic program once you have donated to the general fund. Trying to figure it out on the web site is fruitless.
