Ucla Alumni Gifts

John Wooden.

'In conclusion, I hope you all go out there, get well-paying jobs, and give lots of tax-deductible gifts to our alumni fund.'

'You talk about her so much. Why don't you invite that Alma Mater of yours to dinner sometime?'

'An MBA from Harvard is quite impressive. But you'll still have to start off at the bottom here. You start serving coffee in the cafeteria on Monday.'

"In conclusion, I hope you all make plenty of money to donate to your alma mater."

"Dad, I hold a professorship, in poetry at Harvard. I'm widely published. I'm well off. I'll retire in three years. The odds of me going into medicine at this point are slim to none."

"It does seem like a school-approved activity."

"Uh-oh. I think they're having a Bryn Mawr moment."

No, it does still fit! This is exactly how it fit in college.

'Mom calls this a diary where you write private thoughts no one else can see. What fun is that?'

'And remember you success will be measured by how much money you donate to the universities alumni fund.'

'I thought they told you that any donation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.'

'Remember, your success in life will be measure by how much you donate to your Alma Mater...'

'No, that's my photo above the caption: 'Student most likely to succeed'.'

"Someone must have read about me in the financial pages. My college alumni fund in contacting me twice a week."

"Part of the old boy network?"

'Spreadbury! Never forget a face - 1957! Gave you a beating... good old school days, eh? Spreaders?'

"You call this a resume? The school you graduated from lost every football and basketball game this year."

'I had just assumed the college alumni solicitation letters would stop up here.'

"You'll like this place: they play old skool house."

"We're lucky the Peace Corps sent us a Princeton man."
