Alumni of the University of Kentucky have been reading and hearing a great  
deal recently about Annual Giving and The Presidents Progress Fund. 1

To many former students of this. a land-grant state university, the concept of  
alumni support of academic excellence is a challenging 0ne—t0 others, hopefully g
the minority, it is a minor annoyance, all too often. ignored. g
However, it is necessary to point out that an alumni fund is not an end in itself.    
it is the vehicle through ichich the University of Kentucky, your University, may Q
reach a distinguished goal—great teaching. recognized research and finally, the  
development of top·flight scholars. z
Your concern for the stature of your university, the distinction of your diploma  
and the future of your commonivealth cannot disassociate itself from the urgency  
of immediate and continuing support. i
