Alumni October Newsletter Dear Milne Alumni and Supporters, In this issue: * Please Send News! * Digitization Project Update! * Class of '63 Reunion Donation * Sad News (Please note that links included in Milne Alumni Newsletters may at some point become obsolete.) PLEASE SEND NEWS! Please send any news that you would like to share with other alumni, whether it's personal, Milne-related, or...! Thanks in advance for your contributions...which will make this monthly newsletter much more interesting. DIGITIZATION PROJECT UPDATE! There were three new donors to the Digitization Project since the last report. To date we have received $10,917 toward digitizing all available Crimson & White and Bricks & Ivy editions. This includes $5,000 in matching funds from the Marcia Brown Library Fund. We will soon begin our digitzation project, which will enable us to enjoy full-text web access of many of our Milne yearbooks and/or newspapers via searchable files. Please remember that the total necessary to complete this project is $25,000 (but, as with anything else, the price may rise as time passes)...so if you haven't yet donated or wish to increase your contribution, we're not finished yet! For further information, see https://www.albany.edu/~milne/Project.shtml. A list of donations is available at https://www.albany.edu/~milne/DigitizationDonations.pdf. CLASS OF 1963 REUNION DONATION Thank you to the Class of '63 for their recent Reunion Donation to the Digitization Project. And congratulations on your 50th!
