Rev. Paul G. Wendel, C.S.C. Assistant Vice-President for Business Affairs Alumni support, national foundation revenue, deferred giving: these are the terms in which the financial officers of the University are con- stantly compelled to think. Although Notre Dame currently has the largest endowment of any Catholic college, it is far from being satis- fied with its status. Rev. Jerome Wilson, C.S.C., the vice-president for business affairs, is pri- marily responsible for the control of expendi- tures; he is invested with the trust of ensuring that the revenues and the spending are nearly the same. The major source of income for the annual budget is the student fees. The strictly academic expenses amounted to over twelve million dollars in 1965, and of this students paid over eight million. This budget has been subject to an annual increase over nearly two million dollars, for most of which the expenses of research are responsible. One of the newest of Notre Dame ' s vice-pres- idents is James W. Frick, vice-president for fund raising and development. The special con- cern of his office is the formulation of cam- paigns to promote University development, not only through solicitation of alumni, but also through a campaign for deferred giving insur- ance benefits and wills. This revenue will be primarily used as additional endowment funds, and the income will be applied to whatever pro- grams the University finds to be in need of as- sistance. A second concern of the office is the alumni association. The type of programs being devised for the alumni will be constantly changing; one such change is the new program of alumni seminars to be held in the Kellogg Center the first on the problem of population. 22

Francis T. McGuire Vice-President for Special Projects Dr. Francis T. McGuire, formerly the vice-president for research of Deere, the farm machinery manufacturing corporation, was named last summer as one of two lay vice-presidents at Notre Dame. His area is primarily that with which the other vice-presi- dents do not deal especially govern- mental relations, research, self-analysis of the University, and community re- lations. As Dr. McGuire explains it, his office is concerned with problems related to the general academic nature of the University that do not fall in any of the clean-cut areas assigned to the other vice-presidents. Dr. McGuire is a graduate of Notre Dame, of the class of 1935. He re- ceived a Ph.D. in metallurgy from Notre Dame in 1941, and taught for three years at the University of Ken- tucky. After this time he held several positions in industry. One of the specific concerns of Dr. McGuire involves relations with a proposed Indiana medical school in South Bend. It ' s in the study stage, he says; the outcome will be deter- mined by the state legislature. How- ever, the South Bend community and other northern Indiana cities have been actively seeking the school ' s lo- cation here. 24
