Ladies and Gentlemen:

         You have informed us that you intend to file a Rule 24f-
2 notice (the "Notice") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule 24f-2 (the "Rule")
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, making
definite the registration of 42,189,805 Class A, Class B and
Class C shares of beneficial interest, $0.00001 par value (the
"Shares"), of your Growth Fund (the "Fund") sold in reliance upon
the Rule during your fiscal year ended October 31, 1995.  We
understand that the Shares do not include shares issued pursuant
to reinvestment of dividends but that the fee takes into account
those shares as well as shares redeemed during said fiscal year.

         We have examined your Agreement and Declaration of
Trust, as amended, as on file at the office of the Secretary of
State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  We are familiar with
the actions taken by your Trustees to authorize the issue and
sale from time to time of your Shares of beneficial interest.  We
have assumed that upon the issuance of the Shares, the Trust will
receive the net asset value thereof, which in all cases will at
least be equal to the par value thereof.  We have also examined a
copy of your Bylaws and such other documents as we have deemed
necessary for the purposes of this opinion.

         Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully
paid and nonassessable.

         The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a
"Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law,
shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the Trust.  However, the
Agreement and Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of the Trust and requires that
the notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement,
obligation or instrument entered into or executed by the Trust or
its Trustees.  The Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides
for indemnification out of the property of the Fund for all loss


                                4

and expense of any shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust solely by reason of being or having been
a shareholder of that Fund.  Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances in which the Fund itself would be unable
to meet its obligations.

         We consent to this opinion accompanying the Notice.

                                  Very truly yours,

                                  /s/ Ropes & Gray

                                  Ropes & Gray
