(Business firms monthly over 50
months.) The donor may indicate
on the pledge card what schedule
of payments is preferred, wheth

ly. All contributions are tax de
ductible under the provisions of
che Internal Revenue Law up to
30 percent of the adjusted gross
income and by thus spreading the
payments such deductions may
6e taken over three to six in
come tax years.

dist College in any amount will
have their names inscribed in a
Book of Remembrance which will
oe kept in a public place. Those
who subscribe in terms of shares
