Recognizing that both the activities and the aspirations of present and future generations of Rensselaer faculty and students can and must be expanded by inspiration and insight derived from contact with distinguished engineers, scientists, architects, and managers, Mr. Vollmer W. Fries established a fund in 1973, the income from which will be used to bring such scholars to the campus.
