4 .4 -xslt' In tlze Memorial Building is the Challenge Fund office, where tlze complex communication network begins and ends. The Very Rev. Laurence V. Britt, SJ., president of the University, receives ll Challenge Fund check from Jolzn D. Leary. 16 at 'Cities'plot growth Both the city of Detroit and U-D were built on the concept of free enterprise. The growth of each has been analogous in other respects also. They both began in virtual wilderness. They have both developed industrial and business facilities. This mutual development hints at a meaningful rela- tionship between city and university. According to the Rev. Celestin J. Steiner, S.J., present chancellor and former president, the University from its very begin- ning sought to fulfill the needs of the city. Naturally, the city took advantage of the education offered by U-D. But even so, in the period of the depression and immediately after, the University had to content itself with holding on to what it had, and consolidating these resources. The present development program began when Fr. Steiner arrived in 1949. Between that time and 1960, the following buildings were added to U-D: the Memo- rial Building, Student Union, Reno Hall, Shiple Hall, Briggs Building and the Radio-TV building. So even before the Challenge Fund came into being, the administration was looking ahead. With the in- creasing enrollment, says Fr. Steiner, U-D finally saw a need to expand services to the needs. From this need came the challenge fund, a 525,- 000,000 project, directed by city and university lead- ers, and calling on all who have benefited from U-D to 'Lhelp further improbabilities become plausible realities. First results of the Challenge fund now coming forth are the Dental, Biology and Administration buildings. .i
