Celebrating its 40th anniversary during the 2010–11 academic year, the Lawrence London Centre has impacted decades of students and remains the most popular off-campus study choice for Lawrence students. It is my pleasure to introduce the Ruby Jubilee Chronicle, a book that commemorates and celebrates this important anniversary milestone.

Prayerfully, set specific goals. It’s been said that if you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time. • Be a servant with what you know. Knowledge and degrees can make you proud — don’t let them.

  • The Lawrence 50-Year Connection
    The Lawrence 50-Year Connection LEARNING FOR A LIFETIME By Doug Powell ’56 and Ted Katzoff ’65 Following the celebration of the successful conclusion of the Lawrence capital campaign in October 2011 a group of alumni met in Appleton to discuss forming the Lawrence 50-Year Connection (50YC). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways of giving older Lawrence and Milwaukee-Downer alumni greater incentive to remain engaged with their university and with each other after their 50th Reunions. We also have discovered that the 50YC program interests younger alumni and current students. One the goals of the 50YC was to provide value added to Lawrence University. Among the activities we visualized were assembling an oral history archive, providing guest lectures or panel discussions for students and alumni, assisting at road shows and college nights, and providing a Senior Resource Panel of active alumni wiling to donate their time and talent to other projects on campus. What we did not imagine at the beginning was the opportunity to contribute to a book in progress. Five members of the 50YC have written essays for the book, Learning for a Lifetime: Liberal Arts and the Life of the Mind at Lawrence University, edited by faculty and staff members David Burrows, Jerald Podair and Craig Gagnon ’76. Following the essays is a reflection about a liberal arts education by Provost and Dean of the Faculty David Burrows. We hope you enjoy this newsletter. TRANSITION TO LAWRENCE COLLEGE I also knew my Lawrence application faced various barriers, including not meeting its academic standards By Thomas Oakland ’62 and my inability to afford it.
