Funds for University Mount With Foundation ' s Expansion Progressing steadily, the University of Ne- braska Foundation has grown because of out- side interest in the University. Donors now in- clude over 6,000 alumni and over 1,000 individ- uals, organizations, firms and corporations. More funds are being supplied through bequests and individual wills which have designated appro- priations for the advancement of the University. Funds accumulated for scholarships are turned over to the General Scholarship Com- mittee which determines recipients of the awards. In addition to student grants, the money is used for faculty study. Each year out- standing instructors are selected for recognition and Distinguished Teaching Awards. Projects such as supplying books and man- uscripts for the library and purchases of perma- nent and temporary displays for the museum are under the Foundation ' s jurisdiction. The planetarium was installed from major donations by Ralph Mueller and the Foundation. Without the Foundation ' s work, construction of Nebraska Center for Continuing Education would have been delayed. The Foundation supplied funds acquired through solicitations to match the amount offered by the Kellogg Company, Herbert .M. Potter. Cecil S. Metzgcr Assistants to the Director Perry W.
