Natural history; Science. i(^^''\ ^ Capital Campaign Section Executives Meet Six Chicago area business leaders representing the finance, investments, and insurance section of Field Museum's $25,000,000 Capital Campaign included a tour of the paleontology laboratory when they met last month to coordinate their part of the capital fund drive. Gordon Bent led the meeting as chairman of the section, assisted by Nicholas Galitzine, who is general chairman of the campaign. These executives have joined with 37 other businessmen volunteers, all from the ranks of top management, to carry the Museum's case for corporate support to the business community of Chicagoland. The target of this phase of the Capital Campaign is to call upon some 1,200 business firms, plus corporate and private foundations. Each member of Mr. Bent's section, like the volunteer members of nine other sections of the corporate division of the campaign, will personally visit many companies to tell the Field Museum story. The vital role of these executives is to develop prospects for capital gifts and also to attract colleagues to join them in the campaign. This first Capital Campaign in the Museum's 79-year history was announced in Sep;ember 1971. Its goal of $25,000,000, urgently needed for rehabilitation and improvements to the Museum's building and facilities, should be reached by September 1974. The Museum must raise one-half privately in order to receive matching funds for capital improvements through the bonding authority of the Chicago Park District. To raise its share, the Museum has organized a solicitation of individuals, corporations, and foundations. Gifts already generated by the corporate division alone, including Mr. Bent's section, presently total $2,100,000.
