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.

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.

First results of the Challenge fund now coming forth are the Dental, Biology and Administration buildings. .i
