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.
