PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Alumni:
Two things are uppermost in our minds as we think of this
message.
The first concerns the Greater Lycoming Banquet, details of
which are found elsewhere on this page. I hope we can greet a
very large number of you on that occasion. Many of you were
here for the Homecoming and Dedication of the library, many
others were not able to come at that time. You, therefore, will
have an opportunity to see the improvements on the campus and
meet many of your friends as well as be able to enjoy an excellent
dinner and program.
The other matter has to do with Living Endowment. Within
a few days literature will be sent to all Alumni launching the
Living Endowment as a program for Alumni giving. I know you
are interested in the college. You are aware of the fact that our
financial demands are heavy at this time. We have spent $35,000
for fire towers in the Main Building to provide safety tor our men
students. The operating expenses of the college are increased just
as those expenses are increased everywhere. Our income is de-creased
because of a falling off of enrollment due to defense prep-aration
by the government. This latter condition is expected to
last several years. All institutions are turning to their Alumni
at this time. I believe that our Alumni group at I \ coming Col-lege
is as loyal as that of other institutions and I believe when
vou know these conditions you w ill want to help.
Some Alumni have already sent in generous checks in antici-pation
of the launching of the Living Endowment program. We
are counting on all of our Alumni to unite in generous support
of Lycoming College at this particular time. Let me assure you
of our deep appreciation.
Faithfully yours,
John \\". Long, President
