i closer relation surrounding communities. Here at University Park we have enjoyed Town Day, Art: I Festivals, cooperation of town housing, personal :ecurity, charity project: so that Penn State was even happier to be within State College, and State College seemed even more pleased to have at here. Money management has been a comtant respamiln'lity and every effort has been made to put our raourtes where they are most needed and are most supportive for the mission of the U niversity. Over the dtmde we have rnana ed to keep a :teaditms in our financing by virtue of a careful reallocation of some 28 million dollar: within the last ten years. Even m, we have continued to remain competitive in regard to salaries and have remained a strong employer for the area: where our campusex are located. Our support from gifts 1': growing stranger each year a: alumni and friend: understand that higher education mate: a dxfference in the quality of Ixfe for all. Paradoxically, one of the maxt influential aecomplishrnent: of the past was the development of concern: 4 emphasa for the future, the compilation of a series of Penn State studies entitled Perspectivex for '1 305 in which fundamental and far-reaching options were presented, including an academzc calendar based on the semester schedule and a grouping of continuing education with our Commonwealth Campuses. A ver y important section of the publication dealt with the 25 recommendations relating to private gift Iupport for Penn State, and many of you will become aware of the plan: through the newest office of the University, the Vice President for Development. In the long view, Penn State ix 4 very complicated, very complex educatianal institution and the great challenge is in making it operate as effectively as possible. We are ver y fortunate indeed that Dr. Bryce jardon is earning to Penn State a: 14th President to assume these respomihilities. He is able, experienced, enthusiastic, vigorous and I am delighted that he has been selected. For my part, I plan to live in Philadelphia, maintain an emeritux office at our Ogontz Campus, and always encourage the well being of the Penn State I have come to love and admire. You have my very best wishes in your own happy plan: for the coming years. ' I I ' Sincere! y l V0 . x John W. Oswald La Vic 1983 3
