"The University of Minnesota has always held a special place in our lives." said Lee Sunder, a 1951 graduate of the university's College of Agriculture. "This donation is in appreciation of the university and also in hopeful anticipation of what it can become." Sundet and his wife, born in Spring Grove, Minn., both attended the university; three of their four children are graduates of the university. Lee Sundet was owner of Century Manufacturing and oViller and founder of Goodall ~Ianufacturing, both of which he sold in 1996. He is founder and current owner of Fountain Industries, Inc., and an active community volunteer. The major portion of the gift will be used to endow the Sundet Family Chair in New Testament and Christian Studies. This chair complements the Berman Family Chair in Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies, created in 1996. and will help build a premier religious studies program in the College of Liberal Arts (CLA). "The Sundet family gift guarantees the enduring presence of New Testament and Christian Studies in the curriculum and in the intellectual life of the University of Minnesota," sald University President Mark Yudof. "In making this gift, the Sundets have drawn on their own deep religious convictions to provide students with expanded opportunities to study religion in the academically demanding environment of a university." The chair, the first of its kind at the university, will be based in the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies. It will be held by a yet-to-be-named scholar of international stature who will bring renown to Christian studies at the university and enrichment to the broader community. "The gift will enable us to build one of the nation's leading interdisciplinary programs in religious studies," said William Malandra, department chair.

"The combined effons of these two very distinguished religious leaders have succeeded in engendering broad, ecumenical support for the scholarly study of a Christian tradition that, along with the Judaic tradition, underlies much of Western thought," said CLA dean Steven Rosenstone. "Support of this magnitude is quite extraordinary." The Sundet Family gift will also provide $500,000 to men's athletics for a renovation project to improve the entrance to the Gibson-Nagurski Football Complex, including the creation of a Hall of Fame in the building's lobby. The Sundets have been longtime supporters of men's athletics and have made major gifts in support of university sports facilities such as Mariucci Arena.

I ANTI-VIRAL DRUG REDUCES SHEDDING OF HERPES VIRUS IN HIV-INFECTED INDIVIDUALS WHEN TAKEN DAILY Famciclovir (Famvir®, SmithKline Beecham) significantly reduces asymptomatic shedding, the time in which the herpes virus is contagious but there are no signs or symptoms, in HIV-infected individuals when taken daily, according to a study in the January issue of the Annals ofInternal Medicine, led by Dr. Timothy Schacker, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota. Herpes simplex virus infection is one of the most common infections among HIV-infected patients. Herpes outbreaks are often more frequent and severe in HIV-infected individuals and other patients whose immune systems are weakened. "Because these people have an abnormal immune system they tend to develop herpes more often. It is important to have more drugs that will decrease the symptoms and hopefully prevent transmission to others," Schacker said. While 60 to 80 percent of the general population have been exposed to either genital or oral herpes, almost all HIV-infected individuals have been exposed. In Schacker's trial, 48 patients (45 men and 3 women) with the herpes simplex virus, either genital (HSV-2), oral (HSV-1) or both, were initially administered 500 mg of famciclovir twice daily as a suppressive therapy or placebo for eight weeks. After a seven day washout period, patients were then switched to the other treatment, which continued for another eight weeks. Each patient served as his or her o\vn control so individual differences, such as the degree to which patients' immune systelns had been affected by HIV, would have no effect. In addition to recording the number of symptomatic recurrence during the entire 16-week treatment period, patients collected daily swabs from the mouth and anogenital regions to measure the amount ofHSV-l and HSV-2 asymptomatic shedding.

  • Higher Education in Brazil: the Expansion of Public 3-Year
    Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.1.11 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ ONE UNIVERSITY: THE EVOLUTION OF AN IDEA January 2011 Patricia A. Pelfrey Center for Studies in Higher Education Berkeley, California Copyright 2011 Patricia A. Pelfrey ABSTRACT The one-university idea—that the University of California is a single institution whose campuses are united in the pursuit of a common mission and common standards of quality—has been a guiding organizational principle since UC President Robert Gordon Sproul first articulated it in the 1930s. This paper examines the origins of the one-university idea in the Sproul era, the role it has played in UC’s institutional development through waves of decentralization and campus expansion, and whether it remains relevant today. We are building one great university in California. Let no small mind direct you along the paths of suspicion, distrust, or jealousy. President Robert Gordon Sproul to the students of UCLA, September 27, 1932 President Sproul’s admonition to UCLA’s students came at a sensitive moment in the history of the University of California. In 1932 the Los Angeles campus—long fought for by southern California citizens and interest groups, long delayed by University leaders in the north, and only recently settled in the hills of Westwood where it stands today—had recently made UC the nation’s first multicampus university.1 UCLA was a fledgling institution at that point, very much in the shadow of its distinguished older sibling four hundred miles away at Berkeley. Sproul’s remark was an attempt to lift morale and instill a sense of solidarity between north and south.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Mark Yudof dated July 17, 2018.
