(Age 72) of the Weber State College 15 DEVELOPING DEVELOPMENT THE FUND President Malcolm Moos of the University of Minnesota has said, “If you look in each of our fifty states you will not find any truly great public university which has been financed entirely by state appropriations, rather, you will find that all public universities that we associate with excellence receive generous private support. There can be ‘no doubt, this is where the margin between a good and a great institution lies. Legislators build basically sound public universities but great public universities are built by private bequests, gifts and grants”’. Many colleges and universities throughout the United States have highly sophisticated programs for the securing of private funds. Over a period of many years these institutions have built up vast endowment sources upon which programs of excellence are built. While the needs of Weber State are as great, if not greater, than comparable institutions, Weber State’s development program is only about five years old. While a future endowment program is being built the need remains critical for todays programs. Former students and friends are urged to consider a variety of programs by which they can assist the college. The naming of Weber State as a beneficiary in a will or bequest would help alleviate some of the pressures higher education will face in years to come and also offers many estate tax advantages . . . A life insurance policy which has served its function as protection for a now grown family could be donated to the college and would provide substantially towards many of the programs of the college . . . gifts of appreciated property, land or other securities can be transferred to the college now or, if you prefer, as a deferred gift in which you could retain the income and management of the property for your lifetime and still realize certain tax advantages at the time of the gift. Perhaps no more meaningful gift can be given than those memorializing someone dear to you who has passed away. A contribution in his name may be sent to Weber State College for a variety of programs and uses. One of the great challenges facing higher education today lies in the financing of its programs. In order to stay abreast of developments and _ technological advances Weber State must compress its fund raising programs into vital, effective programs geared for todays economy. It is hoped that the alumni will respond to the challenge and get involved . . . It’s worth it!
