DATIO The University of Illinois Foundation, which has 163 members, is a non-profit corporation Whose function is to encourage gifts for the purpose of assisting the general educational and research pro- gram of the University. Through its Illini Achievement Fund, organized in 1948, and the income from its endowment funds, the Foundation has supported many projects of major importance to the University. One of the Foundatioifs opportunities for serv- ice to the University and the state is to provide thousands of dollars in grants which encourage research and aid staff members who have special training and talent in certain fields. Each year the Foundation provides scholarships secretary Prof. James C. Colvin, for students who need financial help to further their education. These scholarships are awarded on the basis of high academic attaimnent and definite financial need. Another major division of the Foundation's work is library enrichment. Many important collections have come to the University Library through this pro gram. Special projects, such as memorial funds, are carried out by the Foundation to meet specific needs of the University. The projects augment facilities provided by state funds and expand the services of the University to its students and the citizens of Illinois. Charles C. DeLong, assistflnt tr1'f1s11rer
