Relations, S-68 Morrill Hall., Uriiversity, of MinnesotaNinrietpolis. Dear Faculty Member, These words of welcome are especially intended for faculty members who are, as l am, new to the University of Minnesota. This is an exciting and diverse university, ancl,naturallY..ilhasits ,share of both problems and opportunities. The basic commitment is, however, clear: the University of Minnesota is a place for learning, for teaching, and for trying to understand so that people can lead better and more ftilfilling lives. As a newcomer myself,Ihave read theFaculty Information Bulletin profitably as a source of information and guidance. I hope that you will take the time to do so, and I also'know that the Department-of University Relations would welcome any comments pr observations you might make as to how the bulletin could be improved,. Because our university is so inescapably large and diverse, we will, in many cases, perhaps not hecome well acquainted. InTact, many of the faculty members working in such a large and statewide university donot' come to know each other personally. AlthOughthis regrettable, I amencouragedby the thought that our very large,* provides an opportunity for many uniquely talented individuals tcilYelp students and to further the discovery and application"of kn,c4Fedge, This is a difficult endeavor, but it is one of the Most importROissions in a troubled and ofteunhappy world. ., I am glad that you will be p roviding your proleileonal talents to the University" of Minnesota, and I sincerely hope Opt your stay here will prove to be both pleasant and professionally PrOductive. , 1,!
