Fundraising for libraries and faculty chairs-two areas that have lagged-will receive particular focus this year. Though the central administration fund-unrestricted moneys for the President and support for the inter-faculty initiatives-also lags, the administration has decided not to spotlight this area for fear it will detract from the individual schools' efforts, said Thomas M.

...about sacrifice. She may have escaped her marriage in search of love, but there was no escaping us. Her grip on our imagination was too firm, the bounty on her head too high.
