A private consulting firm has been hired by the University to review the objec- tives and operations of the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development. President Burt Matthews, who commissioned the study, says, "Touche- Ross (Ltd.) has been hired to review, within the next two months, the role and function of Alumni Affairs' current operations and relation to related units on campus in light of the potential fundraising campaign." Members of the consulting firm will be speaking to people on and off campus during their study. ❑ Even the weather co-operated for the Learneds and delegates enjoyed the MacKinnon food and beverage garden for 11 consecutive days.
