The Olive Tree |
The loyalty, devotion, and generosity of University Alumni, faculty, students,
and friends made possible the construction of this library.
Since the construction of the Raymond H. Fogler Library a half century ago,
students, faculty, and visitors have passed by this inscription which adorns the
library’s central staircase. These engraved words are both testament and tribute
to the many individuals whose outpouring of private support helped to build the
University’s library into the foremost center for learning and research in
Maine.
The important resources Fogler Library provides to users statewide and the vital
part it plays as the heart of Maine’s academic community have long been
recognized by alumni and friends. Over the years a number of generous
individuals have discreetly continued the tradition established by the Library’s
builders. Today, private support to augment public funding is critical as Fogler
Library strives to maintain its leadership position in teaching, research, and
public service.
This semester we are inviting all UMaine faculty to become part of this
tradition by joining the Friends at a special rate of $25. Your gift will help
ensure the Library’s continued growth and excellence. For more information
contact Friends Coordinator Gretchen Gfeller.
