.,,f -K V 'E i rw ,S Z Mr. Charles Pilliod, Jr. Your alma mater is one institution that has made a difference in your life. IVly hope is that each of us who pridefully claim this as an alma mater will continue in years to come to be a part of the university community. lt is my sincere belief that each of us who have been the beneficiaries of this University owe to our alma mater the obligation, as sort of a partial payment, to continue being in- terested in the welfare of the future generations of students who are looking to the university as we did. Each of us must make a contribution, however small or large, to the future success of The Univer- sity of Akron. You will have this opportunity either through the association with the alumni, as a con- tinuing student yourself, through your con- tributions each year to the University, or volunteer- ing for services in some phase of the University ac- tivities in our community. I know that each of you feel as warmly about your alma mater as l do. Its future success will, to a great measure, depend upon our continuing interest. BERNARD I. FROSEN, Chairman The Board of Trustees

INSIDE INFO ls there a library expansion in the planning process? Yes. Why is this necessary? The academic heart of any University is its Library and related learning resources. With the growth of the library and the University we are running out of space. Additionally, we need an expanded centralized facility for our related learning resources, including the various electronic media being developed, in order to utilize more effectively the teaching tools our faculty need. When will the expansion take place? It is presently projected for the biennium 1979-81. What additional services will be provided? ilncluded abovel.
