Message from the

President To the Class of ’92:

This is the fourth time that I ave written a letter to those stu- dents entering the University of Prince Edward Island for the first ime, and my first words must be he same as each previous occa- ion: Welcome to the University ind may your time here be both pleasant and rewarding!

My first letter was my Fresh- man yearas President and both chat, class and I entered the. world hat we did not. know. This is imy fourth year, my senior year

it were, but I am not so far from that first day that I cannot remember the doubts and hesita-

Welcome Back! —

tions that inevitable accompany anyone beginning a new stage of life. And I am certainly not close enough to graduation to feel that sense of satisfaction and accom- plishment of a stage completed. In a very real way I claim, be- cause I was a Freshman so little time ago, that I can indeed sym- pathize with your feelings. But I can also, from one who has passed beyond that stage, tell you that the University is a benefit. And I beg you to become a full mem- ber of that community, to enjoy the spirit that unites us, and to walk with us towards that goal of an education that liberates.

Entering this year you will find that University’s oldest building, Main Building, is now freshly renovated, hopefully able to serve faculty and students as

classroom and office, seminar and reading room for the next several generations. At first it may seem a building still inhabited by work- ers, painters, hard—hatted men of construction. They will soon leave and make it a part of our purposes. I have high hopes that just as Main Building has stood over our quiet tree-filled quad- rangle for almost one hundred and forty years, so it will for at least another century. For me at

any rate, to have spent my first three years here as part of a plan to see the heritage and traditions of the past renewed in this build- ing has given me great pride. I hope you will share my pride in the University of Prince Edward Island and in its forbears.

Again, a very warm welcome to you. Quickly learn to en- Joy your new surroundings and to make the best of you new oppor- tunities. We are here to help you, and do not be afraid to make us your new teachers and friends.

Yours sincerely, C. W. J. Eliot, President

The Terry Fox Run — Research Fact Sheet

Where do all the dol- lars go?

Since 1980,;.when Terry fox began his Marathon of Hope, The

erry Fox.Run:has, continued: to raise dollars for the fight against

ancer. To date, over $67,000,000 has been raised for cancer re- search. The money is used to help fund special programs and impor- tant research papers in the search for a cure for cancer. Such things aS:

-— Establishment of TERRY FOX REGIONAL DEVELOP- MENT FUND to stimulate can- cer research in certain medi- cal schools. Dalhousie Univer- ity, Memorial University and the University of Saskatchewan have been recipients. The funds are used to recruit new young re- searchers to:thé-field of: cancer re- search. -- fasihe} ;

_- TERRY FOX. CANCER RESEARCH WORKSHOPS that enable investigators to dis- cuss problems and share up-to- date information on specialized aspects of cancer research. For example, a Palliative Care Work- shop will be held in September ’88 to discuss the best possible treatment of terminal cancer pa- tients to ease their suffering and improve their quality of life.

—~ TERRY FOX PROGRAM PROJECT GRANTS which al- low scientists to pool ‘their re- search efforts. Team work is en- couraged in cancer research. Cur- rently, three doctors in Toronto have formed a team to study “retinoblastoma”, a rare and hereditary type of cancer that af- fects newborn babies. This team approach brings together three types of expertise.

- Establishment of the TERRY FOX RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME FOR PHYSICIAN SCIENTISTS which allows medical doctors to train in cancer research, thus pro- viding a link between bedside and the laboratory.

— Es- tablishment of the TERRY FOX CANCER RESEARCH CLERK- SHIP award which has allowed selected medical and dental stu-

dents to obtain training in cancer

research.

eae to. he PROGRAMME FOR NEW RE- SEARCHERS which assists new cancer researchers to obtain the necessary equipment to carry out their cancer research projects.

— Provision of support

through the TERRY FOX EX-

TERRY FOX

PANSION AWARD to increase the scope of existing cancer re- search programs. At the Clin- ical Research Institute in Mon- treal the award made possible to expand the scope of the study of viruses which cause cancer and the way they bring about the transformation of normal cells to malignant cells.

— The TERRY FOX CAN- CER RESEARCH SCIENTIST PROGRAMME enables selected scientists in Canadian universi- ties to devote themselves full time to cancer research.

l on Sept 18, 1988!
