Charter trustee Jack Withiam '71 posed his Leap Year Challenge with every confidence that Hamilton's 29 youngest classes would rise to the occasion -- and did you ever! Together you surpassed our ambitious goal of 841 commitments over 29 days, finishing at the end of the day on February 29 with an astounding 1,066 gifts and pledges. Your remarkable, collective accomplishment demonstrates the power Hamilton alumni have when they work toward a common goal. It's who we are!
Please accept Jack Withiam's profound thanks, the gratitude of Annual Fund Chair George Baker '74 and, most important, please know that you are appreciated by all the students studying on College Hill. The power of many -- the power to transform the lives of Hamilton students -- begins with you.

Thanks to your commitment and the successful completion of the Leap Year Challenge, James Russell '09 is the 2007-08 Leap Year Scholar. His experience on College Hill reflects themes common to many current students, and our collective support enables these bright and talented future leaders to attend Hamilton. Together, alumni make Hamilton, Hamilton, day after day, year after year.
Revenue from the endowment and the Annual Fund cover one dollar of three spent each year at Hamilton. The endowment can be viewed as the "legacy" fund where alumni gifts create a financial base to support current and future needs. The Annual Fund is the "living legacy" fund that is recreated each year as an expression of support – a tangible expression of the desire of ggenerations of alumni who are dedicated to continuing Hamilton's tradition of excellence.
