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.
