A convenient, practical way to express your interest in the University Center project, is to pledge your intent to make three to five annual gifts toward construction of Phase " of the Center. This practice is widely accepted by the American public and I recommend it to you. This way, you can schedule your gifts along with your other priorities. Remember that this is a special need that is non-recurring, and a special project required by your school. We are not asking for a year-in and year-out commitment, but rather your maximum commitment for this special need. As you can see from participation to this date, not every alumnus will respond to this need . Therefore, it is important that you make your pledge as generous as possible consistent with your ability to give.
A Special Personal Offer To encourage you to respond thoughtfully now, I want to send postpaid to each of you who pledges $500 or more over the next three to five years a three-inch bronze medallion commemorating MSM/ UMR's centennial year - as long as the supply lasts. This is a beautiful, limited edition medallion, especially designed to commemorate your school's 100 years of service, and you will be proud to have it on your desk or in your home as evidence that you were concerned and participated in fulfilling your school's need.

Also, we have a limited number of 1 Y2 inch medallions of the same design, which I will want to send to our loyal alumni who will pledge $300 or more during a like period . Send the accompanying pledge form to me in care of the University, 900A Rolla Street, Rolla, Mo. 65401, and I will see that the medallion is shipped to you immediately. A Final Note I am now in the latter part of my seventh decade, and I have had and am now enjoying a wonderful life - much due to my association with Rolla . One of the things which has most pleased me in this work fo r Rolla is the interest and participation by younger a lumni. It makes me proud that young men wit h family responsibilities still find a portion of their income to provide opportunities for others similar to those they had. This is a sterling trait, the kind of character and responsible action that has come to be expected of Rolla men . Your gift to the University Center will be a source of pleasure and satisfaction to you. Truly, Rolla is your school not only because you attended there but because you invested in its well-being a s well'. Won't you let us hear from you today?
