Dear Shareholders:

The financial markets have been exceptionally volatile over the past
few weeks. Events began to unfold in mid August, when the Asian
currency crisis bled over to the Far East markets causing those
markets to stumble, setting off a domino-effect that spread to all
world markets. Just as market observers were predicting a repeat of
the October 19, 1987 slide, stocks rallied back.
At Calvert Group, we see this recent roller coaster ride as an
example of the ups and downs inevitable in stock market investing. We
don't believe the skies have suddenly darkened over the entire
market. Fundamentals are still strong. There is no evidence of
surging inflation, the economy is expanding at a sustainable pace and
money continues to flow into the market.
For investors troubled by the recent volatility, we suggest two
time-tested approaches. First, make investment decisions based on
your time horizon and tolerance for risk. Second, diversifying among
different types of asset classes can help lessen the sting of a
sudden fall in stock prices. Your financial professional can help you
decide whether your portfolio is well balanced.
In closing, I'd like to call your attention to the new format of our
shareholder reports. The changes were intended to put you in closer
contact with the portfolio manager and make the reports more
interesting to read. We welcome your comments.
Sincerely,


Barbara J. Krumsiek
President and CEO

A DISCUSSION WITH PORTFOLIO MANAGER, GREG HABEEB

What was your view of the strength of the economy and the investment
climate over the past 12 months?

The economy looked to be expanding at a robust but not runaway pace.
The most obvious indicators of rising prices -the consumer price
index and producer price index -have not pointed to surging
inflation. But there was a steady increase in new job hires and
shrinking unemployment. Tight labor markets typically push wages
higher which can trigger higher prices at the consumer level.
Bond yields traded in a fairly tight range. The high and low yields
on the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond were within 95 basis points of
each other for the year, with a high of 7.20% and a low of 6.25%

What was your strategy?

     We kept the Fund's duration,  a measure of interest rate sensitivity,  near
the short end of our range  through  the first  half of this  reporting  period.
Going into the second  half,  we  lengthened  duration a bit in order to capture
more yield.  This less cautious  stance is in line with our generally  favorable
outlook for the bond market.  Once we hit our target  duration,  we tend to stay
there.  Instead  of trying to  predict  the  direction  of rates  day-to-day  or
week-to-week,  we look to enhance returns by implementing relative value trades.
That is, we purchase  undervalued  issues and sell them when they return to fair
value. We were successful with that approach during this period, finding trading
opportunities  primarily among corporate  bonds. We further reduced our holdings
of  mortgage-backed  securities  because  they  seemed  overvalued.   Since  the
beginning of the calendar  year, we have  implemented  a more active  management
strategy.  We expect this strategy to improve the Fund's total return over time.
Higher portfolio  trading activity will result in a higher turnover ratio due to
the Fund's current asset size.

For the year ended September 30, 1997, the turnover was 2,961%.
How did the Fund's return compare to that of its benchmark?

For the 12-month period, we led our benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate
Bond Index, by 132 basis points. For the six-month period, we led by
69 basis points.

What's your prediction for the economy and interest rates over the
next six months and beyond?

The Federal Reserve is determined not to get behind the curve with
inflation and may take steps to nudge key short-term rates higher in
the coming months. Long rates would likely follow suit. However, we
don't expect any steep increases in the notes that the Fed controls.
Looking out over the next year, we see a number of trends that
portend lower rates. These include a secular downtrend in inflation
over the last three years, fundamental changes in US fiscal policy
and a strong US economy that has practically eliminated the need for
net new Treasury borrowings. Thus our long-term outlook for the bond
market for the next year is positive.

REPORT OF  INDEPENDENT  ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Trustees of The Calvert  Fund and  Shareholders  of Calvert
Income Fund:

     We have audited the accompanying  statement of net assets of Calvert Income
Fund (one of the portfolios  comprising  The Calvert Fund),  as of September 30,
1997,  and the related  statement  of  operations  for the year then ended,  the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended and  financial  highlights  for each of the four years in the period  then
ended.   These   financial   statements   and  financial   highlights   are  the
responsibility  of the Fund's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  financial  statements  and financial  highlights  based on our
audits.  The financial  highlights for the year ended  September 30, 1993,  were
audited by other  auditors  whose opinion  dated October 29, 1993,  expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  Our procedures  included  confirmation  of investments  owned as of
September 30, 1997, by correspondence  with the custodian and brokers.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of
Calvert  Income Fund as of September 30, 1997, and the results of its operations
for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years
in the period then ended and financial  highlights for each of the four years in
the  period  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  Note A -  Significant  Accounting  Policies

General:  The Calvert Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of The Calvert Fund, is
registered  under  the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940  as a  non-diversified,
open-end  management  investment  company.  The  operations  of each  series are
accounted for separately.  Shares of the Fund are sold with a maximum  front-end
sales charge of 3.75%.  On October 29, 1996, all  outstanding  Class C shares in
the Fund  were  converted  into an  equivalent  value of  Class A  shares.  This
transaction  was a  non-taxable  exchange and no sales charge was applied to the
Class A  shares  issued.  On May  23,  1996,  the net  assets  of  Calvert  U.S.
Government Fund were merged into the Fund. The acquisition was accomplished by a
tax free exchange of 480,428 shares of the Fund (valued at  $7,907,591)  for the
555,054 shares of the U.S. Government Fund outstanding at May 23, 1996. The U.S.
Government  Fund's net assets at that date,  including  $172,000  of  unrealized
depreciation  and $328,884 of  undistributed  realized net losses were  combined
with those of the Fund. The aggregate net assets of the Fund and U.S. Government
Fund  immediately  before  the  acquisition  were  $40,339,463  and  $7,910,153,
respectively.

 Security  Valuation:  Securities listed or traded on a national  securities
exchange are valued at the last reported  sale price.  Unlisted  securities  and
listed  securities  for which the last sale price is not available are valued at
the most  recent  bid  price or based on a yield  equivalent  obtained  from the
securities' market maker.  Municipal securities are valued utilizing the average
of bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix  system (which  considers  such
factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings) furnished by dealers
through an independent  pricing  service.  Other securities and assets for which
market  quotations are not available or deemed  inappropriate are valued in good
faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.  In determining  fair value,
the Board  considers  all  relevant  qualitative  and  quantitative  information
available.  These  factors  are  subject  to change  over time and are  reviewed
periodically.  The  values  assigned  to fair  value  investments  are  based on
available  information  and do not  necessarily  represent  amounts  that  might
ultimately  be  realized,  since  such  amounts  depend on  future  developments
inherent in long-term investments.  However, because of the inherent uncertainty
of valuation,  those estimated values may differ  significantly  form the values
that would have been used had a ready market of the investments existed, and the
differences  could be material.  At September 30, 1997,  $786,000 or 2.0% of net
assets, were valued by the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase  Agreements:  The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
recognized  financial  institutions  or  registered  broker/dealers  and, in all
instances,  holds  underlying  securities  with  a  value  exceeding  the  total
repurchase price, including accrued interest.  Although risk is mitigated by the
collateral,  the Fund could  experience  a delay in  recovering  its value and a
possible  loss of  income  or value if the  counterparty  fails  to  perform  in
accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Options:  The Fund may write or  purchase  option  securities.  The  option
premium is the basis for  recognition  of unrealized or realized gain or loss on
the option. The cost of securities acquired or the proceeds from securities sold
through the  exercise  of the option is  adjusted by the amount of the  premium.
Risks  arise  from the  possible  illiquidity  of the  options  market  and from
movements in security values.

Futures  Contracts:  The Fund may enter into futures contracts  agreeing to
buy or sell a financial  instrument  for a set price at a future date.  The Fund
maintains  securities with a value equal to its obligation  under each contract.
Initial  margin  deposits of either cash or securities are made upon entering in
futures  contracts;  thereafter,  variation margin payments are made or received
daily  reflecting  the change in market value.  Unrealized or realized gains and
losses  are  recognized  based on the change in market  value.  Risks of futures
contracts  arise from the possible  illiquidity  of the futures  markets and the
movement  in  the  value  of  the  investment  or in  interest  rates.  Security
Transactions and Investment Income:  Security  transactions are accounted for on
trade date.  Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends
on  certain  foreign  securities,  as  soon  as  the  Fund  is  informed  of the
ex-dividend  date.  Interest  income,  accretion of discount and amortization of
premium are recorded on an accrual basis.

Distributions to  Shareholders:  Distributions to shareholders are recorded
by the Fund on ex-dividend  date.  Dividends from net investment income are paid
monthly.  Distributions  from net realized  capital  gains,  if any, are paid at
least  annually.  Distributions  are  determined in  accordance  with income tax
regulations  which may differ from  generally  accepted  accounting  principles;
accordingly,  periodic  reclassifications  are made  within the  Fund's  capital
accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax
regulations.

Estimates:  The preparation of the financial  statements in conformity with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported  amounts of income and expenses  during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Expense Offset Arrangements: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian
bank whereby the  custodian's  fees are paid indirectly by credits earned on the
Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangement is an alternative
to overnight investments.

Federal  Income  Taxes:  No provision  for federal  income or excise tax is
required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute  substantially  all of
its earnings.

Note B -Related Party  Transactions  Calvert

Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by Calvert Group,
Ltd.  ("Calvert"),  which is  indirectly  wholly-owned  by  Acacia  Mutual  Life
Insurance Company.  The Advisor provides  investment  advisory services and pays
the salaries and fees of officers and  affiliated  Trustees of the Fund. For its
services,  the Advisor receives a monthly fee based on an annual rate of .70% of
the Fund's average daily net assets.

     Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor
and principal  underwriter  for the Fund.  Distribution  Plans,  adopted by each
class of shares, allow the Fund to pay the distributor for expenses and services
associated with  distribution  of shares.  The expenses paid may not exceed .50%
and 1.0%  annually  of  average  daily net  assets of each  Class A and Class C,
respectively. The Distributor received $11,470 as its portion of the commissions
charged on sales of the Fund's shares.  Calvert Shareholder  Services,  Inc., an
affiliate of the Advisor, acts as transfer,  dividend disbursing and shareholder
servicing  agent for the  Fund.  Each  Trustee  who is not  affiliated  with the
Advisor  receives an annual fee of $20,500  plus up to $1,500 for each Board and
Committee  meeting  attended.  Trustee's fees are allocated to each of the funds
served.

 Note C  -Investment  Activity  During the year,  purchases and sales of
investments,   other  than  short-term   securities,   were  $1,109,042,877  and
$1,126,415,839,  respectively.  The cost of  investments  owned at September 30,
1997 was substantially  the same for federal income tax and financial  reporting
purposes.  Net unrealized  depreciation  aggregated  $51,500,  of which $472,500
related  to  appreciated   securities   and  $524,000   related  to  depreciated
securities.

 Note D -Line of Credit Effective July 1, 1997, a financing agreement
is in place with all Calvert Group Funds and State Street Bank and Trust Company
("the Bank").  Under the  agreement,  the Bank is providing an unsecured line of
credit facility,  in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million  committed
and $25  million  uncommitted),  to be accessed  by the Funds for  temporary  or
emergency  purposes  only.  Borrowings  under this facility bear interest at the
overnight  Federal Funds Rate plus .50% per annum.  A commitment fee of .10% per
annum will be incurred on the unused  portion of the  committed  facility  which
will be  allocated to all  participating  funds.  This fee is paid  quarterly in
arrears.  The Fund had no loans  outstanding  pursuant to this line of credit at
September 30, 1997.
