Pitzer College Spring, 1987

From the President

Your alma mater enters the spring 1987 ali ve wi th important issues that involve the entire community. Among the most exciting aspects of Pitzer is that members of the community engage in issues of substance in open forums. Often the iss ues are a localized version of a nati onal issue. The recent attacks on education funding at the national level come at a time when we at Pitzer are focusing considerable energy on our own fi nancial condition. Few, if any, colleges as young as Pitzer can boast of a financi al picture as bright. Yet with approximately 50 percent of our students requiring financial assistance, and with a decrease in the percentage contribution from federal and state sources, all of us in the Pitzer community need to constantly search for new funding opportunities. Therefore, I am particularly excited that Carl Bandelin has joined Pitzer as the executive director of development. You can read more of Carl's background in this issue of Participant. Suffice it here to say that I hope you will get to know Carl and follow hi s activities with interest. He is a consummate professional with a Claremont background and broad experience in education, particularly in development. . With all best wishes to you for 1987, all of us invite you back to Pitzer. I am confident you will find your alma mater growing stronger and continuing to make that special contribution to higher education that has become a Pitzer tradition. Sincerely, ~'I~Mtt Frank L. Ellsworth President and Professor of Political Studies. 2&3
