The third and future years would be financed entirely through volunteer loyalty gifts from Marshalls' over-12,000 known alumni. Business and industry responded adequately and the Program moved forward. John Sayre exceeded our fondest expectations and his tenure of 21,2 yeai·s has in addition to numerous other achievements, seen the establishments of 24 active Alumni Chapters representing Alumni in 10 States, the District of Columbia, and 12 counties of West Virginia. These Chapters assisted materially in obtaining university status for Marshall. They are currently working to help build Marshall's prestige and to assist in every way possible the continued growth and development of Marshall. Generally speaking in many ways, Marshall Alumni have fallen dovm on the job. Of the 12,000-plus known Alumni, just 5% (approxi mately 600) have responded with a loyalty gift of any kind. If we could, for example, receive a gift of a nominal amcunt from each alumnus per year, we could not only adequately finance the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs, but have funds available for other needed University projects such as scholarships, research, etc., (our gifts range Marshall University went on the air on Ncv~mbcr 1 with its own FM· radio station, WMUL, the only non-commer:ial educational FM Radio from $1.00 to $125.00 and average $10.00).
