Alumni Association files for 68,000 living graduates fill rooms in Alumni House. University of Iowa Foundation gives financial support The Alumni Association works closely with the University of Iowa Foundation, which was until recently a part of the Alumni Association. The Foundation, with ofiices in the Union, is a corporation designed to maximize financial support from private agencies and individuals for the university and its growing programs. The Foundation has as its important agencies the Old Gold Development Fund, which is the annual donation division, and the newly-created Iowa Center for the Arts - an exciting division to spearhead a drive for capital improvements and enrichment ofthe Fine arts facilities. A million dollar art gallery will house the university collection and early completion will assure the gift of one of the lVlidwest's most important collections. Student aids, research and general university enrichment are the three major areas given support by the Old Gold Development Fund. When little or no state tax money is available, the Fund procures special collections for the library and campus appearances of eminent authors and critics. Telephone contacts by alumni in key population centers have been very successful in procuring pledges for proiects. During the latter part of 1963, the Foundation s cumu- lative gifts passed the million dollar mark.
