Your University CHARTERED in 1851 by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota this year celebrated its one hundred and thirty-fourth birthday. One of the great land-grant universities in the nation, the University of Minnesota is dedicated to training young men and women to be our future leaders. Each year, graduates add new skills and knowledge to the existing resources of the state. They have been trained as physicians, lawyers, engineers, social workers, teachers, journalists, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, scientists, farmers, business people-to name but a few of the careers for which preparation is offered. Since its founding, the University has awarded over 370,000 degrees, each one in recogni tJion of the successful completion of a challenging academic program. In addition to giving collegiate instruction to nearly 56,000 students annually on its Twin Cities, Duluth, Morris, Crookston, and Waseca campuses, the University offers special training for those who wish to study part-time through Continuing Ed ucation and Extension. The University also offers educational opportunities through its Agricultural Extension Service, with county agents, home agents, 4-H club agents, and recreation and health consultants available to provide help to Min nesotans in their own homes. In the many research laboratories on the University's five campuses, at the agri cultural experiment stations throughout the state-the Rosemount Research Cen ter, the Cloquet Forestry Center, the Cedar Creek Natural History Area near Bethel, the Horticultural Research Center at Excelsior, the Landscape Arboretum at Chanhassen, the Lake Itasca Forestry and Biological Station, the Sand Plain Ex perimental Field at Becker, and the Ronnel Institute at Austin-and at the Univer sity Hospitals, University scientists are at work on experiments of great potential importance to the quality of our lives. Research projects are leading to new knowl edge in such areas as learning disabilities, drug abuse, urban and environmental problems, health care delivery systems, and computer technology. The progress made in these and other areas will have a profound impact on the lives of Minneso tans and people throughout the world. THE UNIVERSITY continues to be a cultural center of the Upper Midwest as the home of radio station KUOM, the University Theatre, the Bell Museum of Natural History, and the local performances of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Minnesotans have good reason to be proud of their University, not only because it is one of the leading state universities in the country, but also because of the extent and quality of its services to the people of the state, their families, communities, and organizations. The interest of Minnesotans in their University is a dynamic thing, and it expresses itself in many ways. Their contributions have made it possible to build the Variety Club Heart Hospital and the Mayo Memorial Building. Through the American Legion and its auxiliary posts all over the state, thousands of friends have made generous donations to endow a research professorship in heart disease. Other contributions have built the Masonic Cancer Center, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Cancer Research Center and Diehl Hall, which houses the biomedical library and medical research facilities. Generous contributions by corporations, associations, foundations, trade unions, clubs, and individuals have made hundreds of grants and fellowships available to de serving students. Friends and supporters of the University, who are aware of the financial impact of increased specialization, work continuously to increase the funds available for student assistance. 1 CO:VI:VlENCE.\lENT marks the conclusion only of the student's academic life at the University.

Alumni are urged to continue their relationship with the lJniversity through the Minnesota Alumni Association and its college groups.
