PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Again we express our gratitude to ail of you
who contributed to Lycoming during 1975.
As you have no doubt read and heard, these
past few years have not been the best of
times for small independent colleges, includ-ing
Lycoming, But the fact that we received
more than $344,000 from private sources is
most encouraging, especially in view of the
general state of the economy, continuing in-flation
and unemployment during 1975.
Beyond the importance of the dollars contrib-uted
is the confidence in the College that in-spired
the gifts. Those of us who are re-sponsible
for operating the College on a
sound financial basis appreciate both.
All of us at Lycoming thank you sincerely.
