This issue of The Maine ALUMNUS indicates that our Malcolm E. C. Devine ’31 year end celebration in 1963 was no exception. Changes were evident, with Commencement George F. Dow ’27 on a Saturday, but the same good fellowship and the same generous behavior, the same concern for and interest in the Maine State University were also evident. John F. Grant ’48 This was a year of re-examination of our operations and expansion plans, with the M. Eleanor Jackson ’20 101st Maine State Legislature looking over the expense sheets. Percentage of cost paid by Parker F. Leonard ’50 the students continues to rise, while as a percentage of total dormitory and classroom cost Frank W. Linnell ’29 the State’s share is less than forty-five. M. Milton MacBride ’35 Perhaps alumni are most proud of their efforts this year to help the University through Roscoe C. Masterman ’32 the benefits of the second year of the annual fund. A goal of $75,000 was exceeded shortly Robert W. Nelson ’45 after Commencement. Admittedly, the dollars make only a wee proportion of the funds needed in such a large institution, but they tend to provide what other income cannot. Albert S. Noyes ’24 Gifts were made from the fund for a named professorship in Music, for Scholarship, for Albert M. Parker ’28 the Library and for unrestricted purposes. Mrs. Stella B. Patten ’47 Collections were made on the Arthur A. Hauck Auditorium pledges, and new gifts Carleton B. Payson ’41 were received also, allowing payment of $261,000 more to the project during the year. Robert P. Schoppe ’38 A grand adventure to publish again the names and addresses of all alumni was started Norma J. Smaha ’54 and two-thirds completed in the fiscal period. New directories will be available in the fall. Carl A. Whitman ’35 A new file of mailing cards was created in the IBM center, for better handling of A. Percival Wyman ’07 magazine and bulletin subscriptions. Some errors were made also, but the initial system has had improvements added to it, while apologies have gone out to alumni. Myron W. Zimmerman ’50 Forty-four local associations were held together by dedicated officers of region in and out of state. They held more than 85 formal meetings, in addition to luncheons and picnics —some of which were regular, like those in Augusta, Portland, Boston, Philadelphia, and ON THE COVER—The weekend of Pittsburgh.

In citing Miss Wilson, the editors noted: “To Edith G. Wilson we dedicate the Prism —a tribute to her many years of devotion to the complexities of education. As a com­ petent leader she has influenced many stu­ dents, an influence to be perpetuated through their lives of increased enthusiasm and maturity.

This is the largest amount ever appropri­ ated by the Foundation for this purpose and is believed to be the largest amount offered for pulp and paper students at any university in the country. Pres.
