Trains peace Corps Candidates

September was back to school time for most students at the University of Maine, but for 26 Peace Corps trainees it was graduation time.

After nine weeks of intensive Peace Corps study on the Orono campus, 26 trainees were graduated on Friday, September 14.

The University of Maine was proud to play a part in this great experiment in international relations which involved volunteers from fifteen states and the District of Columbia.

Leading off the graduation program, Dr. Austin Peck, Vice President of the University, acknowledged the work of Dr. David Huntington, coordinator of the project and Assistant Dean of the College of Agriculture, and other staff members who so willingly devoted much of their time to the project.

The University of Maine trainees will now move to Puerto Rico for addi­ tional language and physical training before departing for in-country training in West Africa.

In participating in the Peace Corps program, the University of Maine will be joining other leading universities in a job which may prove to be one of the most significant in the cold war to further the idea of peace, international under­ standing and international assistance.

TED H. CARLSON. 50 104 MEMORIAL UNION • CORVALLIS, OREGON ASSISTANT DIRECTOR • EDITOR September, 1962

Dear State of Mainer:

From "Maine to Oregon"--as the saying goes, is a long distance. Greetings to you from the West Coast ! I J There are some things which draw us dose together, as institutions of learning. It is a matter of fact that we are much alike in age and size and in our educational objectives. We are both land grant, tax assisted public institutions. Our great and expanding schools have important alumni families. On both groups fall heavy responsibilities to meet the larger needs in higher education today.

/ > My purpose in writing to you is to emphasize the announcement of your 1962-63 annual fund, which this year is dedicated, I know, to raising money for:

1. Named faculty chairs 2. Library book acquisitions 3. Undergraduate student aid 4. A cultural events series 5. Graduate fellowship assistance 6. Unrestricted uses of the University

Tax assistance is not enough at your institution, or at mine, to meet these critical needs, in our expanding patterns of excellence.

I simply hope that you people of Maine will be as loyal, and I know you will be, and as helpful as are our alumni, and that with them you shall seek to be members of your respective association, and that you will send along a generous contribution to Orono.

Good luck to you, your association officers and to the leaders of your annual fund, in reaching your $75,000 goal.

Sincerely,

C. H. "Scram" Graham Director, Alumni Relations Oregon State University Corvallis, Ore.
