A tribute to Rear Admiral Frank W. Fenno, Class of 1923, the carillon is the gift of a Maine alumnus who wishes to remain anonymous. Admiral Fenno, one of World War IPs most decorated naval heroes, received three Navy Crosses, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Legion of Merit, as well as other decorations. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University in 1951.

The Admiral Frank W. Fenno Carillon consists of 75 bells electrostatically amplified from the tower of Alumni Hall. It may be played from a special key­ board located in the Little Theatre, and it also operates automatically on a time mechanism. The carillon has also replaced the old University class bell.

This unusual gift by a most generous alumnus will help to carry forward the traditions of the University and to provide present and future students and faculty with the cultural atmosphere so appropriate to the campus. The University wishes to express its appreciation to the donor. Make your SECOND

Dr. Earl L. Green, director of the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory in Bar Harbor, addressed the assembly. The following week, five Maine high school students and some 150 graduate and undergraduate University students were hon­ ored at one of the biggest programs ever held to honor high-ranking students at the University. The occasion was the annual Scholastic Honor Societies Banquet, spon­ sored by Phi Kappa Phi, an all-University honor society; Phi Beta Kappa, whose mem­ bership consists of high-ranking students in the College of Arts and Sciences; and Sigma Xi, which is made up of talented students en­ gaged in scientific research. Prof. Cecil Reynolds of the English department, was master of ceremonies.

he year 1961-62 has been so filled with new developments as to be character­ T ized as nearly thrilling. This report can­ not do justice to the evidence of progress; only some of the highlights can be men­ tioned. Academic While all phases of University life are significant and contribute to the on-going progress of the institution, academic standing is of paramount importance. Following are some of the developments which should be mentioned: 1. The transfer of Portland University to become part of our University reestab­ lishes a Law School and adds a four- year course in Business Administra­ tion to our curriculum at Portland. 2. The adoption of a “Named Professor­ ship” plan which has already brought gifts from two foundations establish­ ing distinguished professorships in pulp and paper technology. 3. The re-accreditation of the College of Technology for a three-year period. 4. The installation of a 1620 IBM Com­ puter quickly became invaluable for > research and instructional purposes. 5. The inauguration of the Team Teach­ ing Plan and the use of closed-circuit television which are made possible by

women who are now enrolling for higher education. Finances The educational and general budget of the University for 1962-63 is $9,551,942. This does not include the auxiliary enter­ prises covering the operation of the dormi­ tories and dining halls, the press, and the Memorial Union. The total budgets of these enterprises amounts to $2,608,000. To this should be added the capital construction projects which will total approximately $4,000,000. It is gratifying to the Trustees and the University administration to receive several hundred thousand dollars in gifts, bequests, and grants for many purposes. To all the donors, the Trustees wish to express their grateful appreciation. Such generosity espe­ cially in providing funds for student aid is 5 extremely important to the academic prog­ * <- ress of the University.

1962-63 will be a legislative year. To meet » the needs caused by increasing enrollment, it will be necessary to request a larger ap­ propriation from the state. The vigorous activity of alumni in supporting the Uni­ versity appropriation request will be a factor in the final results. Top: Daniel M. Maher. Bottom: Bangor Daily News—Carroll Hall.
