-.1-- 111 fittidt-nts and Faculty: Tltc Assistant to the President for Development and Public Affairs is responsible for coordinating efforts of the Special Events and Alumni Affairs Office and Information Services Offices on our campus. The main function of these three offices is to provide continuous information about Kansas State Teachers College to its many publics. The specific purposes of the Special Events Office and Alumni Affairs Office and Information Services Office may be found in this book. The specific purpose of my office is to manage the Emporia State College Endowment Association and to work to maintain and improve community relations within the city of Emporia. The Emporia State College Endowment Association was organized and chartered in 1953. The purpose of this nonprofit organizationdthe purposes are twofold. One. to provide a place where people may put money in confidence that it will be used for a worthy cause. Two. to provide funds for Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia for purposes which are not tax supported. During the twenty years of existence of the Endowment Association the association has provided thousands of students with millions of dollars for loans. scholarships, and grants. The association has also benefited every academic department on the campus and provided support for many worthwhile functions of the institution. During the 1972-73 school year, the Endowment Association provided 3192.743 for scholarships. generated thousands of dollars for National Direct Student Loans and provided 3587.421 for conventional faculty and student loans. The association only exists for the service and the improvement of Kansas State Teachers College. Contributions to the Endowment Association come from students. parents. alumni. and friends. Gifts through the past 20 years have ranged from 50 cents to nearly a quarter of a million dollars. At the present time the association has assets of over one million five hundred thousand dollars and these assets should continue to increase as contributions to the association have increased by 100991 over the past four years. If you are interested in supporting any program or effort which will ultimately benefit Kansas State Teachers College. please make your interests known to me.
