he University of Minnesota has worked hard over the T past ten years to improve the educational experience of our students while maintaining our excellence in research and service to the state of Minnesota. Our efforts have paid off, and we're pleased to share some of the good news with you.

The following are changes that affect undergraduate education:

• The Twin Cities campus was rated as one of the 25 "best buys" in under­ graduate education among national universities by U.S. News & World Report in 1995.

• Class hours taught by full professors: 1986: 23 percent 1995: 40 percent

• Classes taught by teaching assistants: 1986: 32 percent 1995: 14 percent

• Average class size: reduced 23 per­ cent on Twin Cities campus. Mean class size: 1986: 32.6 students 1996: 27.7 students

Rosenstone

I am pleased to introduce to you the new Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Steven J. Rosenstone. Steven's selection followed a five-month national search, and many of you who met him during the past few months know that he brings a fresh vision and dynamic leadership to the College. Steven earned a Ph.D. in political science from the University of California-Berkeley and was a faculty mem­ ber at Yale University before going in 1986 to the University of Michigan, where he served as pro­ gram director in the Institute for Social Research. He is an eminent scholar of elections, voting and political participation, as well as an award-winning teacher. I know you will join me in welcoming Steven to the College and to Minnesota. - Mary Hicks, Director of External Relations

This report contains the names of CLA' s generous and College of Liberal Arts dedicated donors. It is the first such report, and we have creat­ ed it to reflect the breadth and depth of donor activity in the ANNUAL College. Thus, you will see a cumulative listing of major gift club members and a listing of REPORT donors of $500 to $9,999 for the 1996 fiscal year. Due to space considerations, we were unable Fiscal Year 1996 to list donors of up to $500. Though they are not listed here, we would also like to thank donors who have chosen to remain anonymous. We have been fortunate to have so many generous con­ tributors. All gifts to the College enable students to attend the University, help attract and retain world-class faculty, build needed facilities and expand the University's outreach to the community. We thank you for your continued enthusiasm for CLA. Our close affiliation with the University of Minnesota Foundation assures that all of your gifts are well managed. Their extraordinary track record of return on investment helps increase the impact of your gifts. We have tried to be as accu­ rate as possible in listing the names of our contributors, and we apologize if we overlooked someone or misspelled a name.

With each gift you cast a vote of confidence in our work, our mission and the dreams we share. As we look forward to the year 2000 and a new millenium, I invite you to become a more active partner in planning for CLA's future. Together, I am confident that we can build upon the tradition of excellence that is so much a part of this College's history. Together we can ensure a top­ notch education for today's and tomorrow's students.

12 "The University of Minnesota holds a special place in my heart because I was a graduate student in one of the best departments of political science in the country and met my husband, John Gillespie, there. We both made lifelong friend­ ships in the department and felt that our professional lives were measurably enhanced by the education we received. I wanted to do something for graduate education where our gift would enhance political science and establish something which would honor John for many years to come. I know that John would agree that this gift is the best one we could make together for the future."
