Through its Illini Achievement Fund, organized in 1948, and the income from its endowment funds, the Foundation has supported many projects of major importance to the University. One of the Foundation's opportunities for serv- ice to the University and the state is to provide thousands of dollars in grants which encourage re- search and aid staff members who have special training and talent in certain fields. Each year the Foundation provides scholarships for students who need Hnancial help to further their education. These scholarships are awarded on the basis of high academic attainment and deinite financial need. Another major division of the F oundationis work is library enrichment. Many important collections have come to the University Library through this program. Special projects, such as memorial funds, are carried out by the Foundation to meet specific needs of the University. The projects augment facilities provided by state funds and expand the services of the University to its students and the citizens of Illinois. XVilli 'lm H Buttcrficld 1 . - I H James C.
