and soul of a liberal arts college. It strives to open wide the doors
of opportunity, and to make the world a better place through the power
of the mind and the imagination, through the insights and discoveries
of its faculty, and through the contributions of its alumni in their
careers and communities, to their nations and all nations. One is to enhance the programs and commitments that form the core of the Princeton experience inside and outside the classroom. Another is to expand our capacities in selected areas, from engineering to the arts, and from a deeper un-derstanding of the mind to a broader citizenship in the world. The third is to encourage all Princetonians to engage more fully in the life of this remarkable University and help shape its future. All of us in this generation have benefited greatly from the aspirations
and the generosity of earlier generations. Now it is our turn to aim
high and be bold in making it possible for future generations of students
and faculty to excel and invent, to imagine and discover, to connect
and thrive. Through this campaign we ask all of our alumni, parents,
and friends to help Princeton achieve its highest aspirations. Date: March 2, 2008 (Sunday) The Rocky Mountain Princeton Club depends upon the continued support of its many members in Colorado and Wyoming. Your tax-deductible dues payment covers the cost of mailings, supports our Schools Committee's work in attracting promising students to Princeton, underwrites community service projects, and allows visiting faculty and current undergrads to be our guests at functions. Please return your dues check along with the tear-off strip. We thank
you for your support, as your participation is vital to the success
of the Club. We are especially grateful to those alumni who contribute
generously at the level of Sustaining and Patron memberships. The RMPC
scholarship fund is also available for your consideration.
