As alumni we play an increasingly significant part in this ex­ pansion, through our loyal support with dollars and with deeds. In following others who have served the Association and Margaret Mollison most recently, I realize that I have very high standards to keep. Yet, I am confident that if you give me the same support, that dur­ ing the past 10 years you have given to her, our alumni activities will as they have in the past, continue to serve both you and the University. Your Executive Director, Russ Woolley, and Brownie Schrumpf and I, with him, expect to bring you a strong alumni pro­ gram and the team spirit to operate it.

Tomorrow, perhaps Plato and Aristotle . . . political theory and psychology . . . humani­ ties and economics—in short, whatever makes for a well-rounded education. Next week, he may be on the job in an automobile plant. Twenty-four hundred other students like him are studying to be electrical, mechanical or industrial engineers, in one of the world’s most unusual institutions of higher learning. During their first four college years at GMI, students alternate between six weeks of intensive study at GMI and six weeks of paid work at one of 133 General Motors oper­ ations across the nation and in Canada. Their fifth year is entirely in the field .. . preparing bachelor theses based on actual engineering projects of their sponsoring GM divisions. Since its small beginning, 37 years ago, GMI has graduated 6,000 engineers. The great majority chose to remain with General Motors and today are employed in a wide range of technical and managerial positions in GM plants throughout the world. The educa­ tional investment in these people has been a beneficial one—not only for them and for General Motors—but for the many communities where they now work and five.

Many have returned after “discov­ ering” that their own home towns often have smaller, but still good, exhibits that have been hanging there unnoticed for many years. Of even greater significance to the “State of Mainers”—true as well as adopted—is the increased awareness the students are gaining of work done by our own artists or those who do a good deal of their work in the State. As professor Hartgen says, “I am often amazed to discover that many Maine resi­ dents haven’t the slightest knowledge of the world-famous artists and craftsmen who live in our midst, and who sing their praises of the Maine landscape in art works, some of which hang in major museums of America and Europe .... In the past century, Maine has produced some of the inspiration for many artists of ever-lasting fame: Winslow Homer, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, Jeri- miah Hardy and many others. Often I dis­ cover—to my great sorrow—that these peo­ ple lived and worked here without much, if any, recognition during their lifetimes.”

16 THE MAINE ALUMNUS Fall’s in the air and strains of the Stein Song can be heard floating across the campus from the football field—“Fill the steins to dear old Maine, Shout ’til the rafters ring. Stand and drink a toast once again, let ev’ry loyal Maine Man sing!” We all admit that its a rousing school song and one that has gained the University fame both near and far—with much thanks going to a certain megaphone toting crooner, namely Rudy Vallee, for it’s wide-spread popularity. There has been one problem, however, surrounding our school song that has become more ap­ parent as the years go by. We as a Univer­ sity have no steins to fill, raise, or clink to “dear old Maine”. Several of the students do have their own private collections—pick­ ed up as souvenirs from European tours or University bookstores across the country— but we as a University have none. i Thanks to the Memorial Union Govern­ ing Board, however, this lack will soon be­ come a thing of the past. They have insti­ tuted a Stein Collection at the University campus in Orono for permanent display in the Memorial Union. It is to be a compre­ hensive collection of steins from any and all sources. Particular emphasis will be given to those from Colleges and Universities throughout the world. There is also one Fart of the University Stein Collection as it now exists.
