REPORT ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ALUMNI NEWS

At the request of the President, Mr. Paul Saunier, Jr., Assistant to the President for University
Relations and Development, appeared before the Board to report on recent discussions among representatives
of the Alumni Fund, the Alumni Association, and the President relating to the possible expansion
of the distribution of the Alumni News to include all living alumni of record. Heretofore the
distribution of the Alumni News has been limited to members of the Alumni Association and graduates
of the University for the first five years after graduation, this latter distribution being made
possible through an endowment contributed to the University for this special purpose by an anonymous
donor. The University of Virginia Topics, financed by the Alumni Fund and the Alumni Board of
Trustees, is a newsletter published eight times a year, which under the new plan would be combined
with the Alumni News to provide one publication reaching all alumni. The Alumni Association proposes
that all funds now going into the two publications be applied to the expanded distribution. Mr. Saunier
stated that through the fine spirit of cooperation on the part of all concerned, there were very good
prospects that the plan would be realized, provided that funds previously allocated to distribution of
certain Alumni Fund reports can also be utilized to insert these reports appropriately in the expanded
Alumni News
