The world of our parents has disappeared; the world of today is rapidly changing. What are your concerns with this changing world? How involved do you feel yourself to be in these changes?

THE PROGRAM FOR A GREATER UNIVERSITY

THE 1959-60 Alumni Campaign for The University of Rochester Fund opens October 6, 1959. The support that you and I and our fellow-alumni give to this year's Fund is an essential element of strength in the launching of the new Program for a Greater Univer­ sity. Moreover, such tangible evidence of alumni in­ terest and enthusiasm constitutes a necessary credential for The University as it seeks support from many other sources. For all of us who have benefited from education at Rochester, this is a year for thoughtful giving.

Elmer K. Smith, '16 President} Board of Governors The Alumni Federation
