Dear Mrs. Pelletier:

Many thank for including me in the observance of the One Hundredth anniversary of the University of Maine at Fort Kent. For the better part of three decades representatives from our campus and I have sought and shared solutions to many of our mutual problems involving teacher education.

The former Madawaska Training School may well we proud of the manner in which it has successfully overcome seemingly' insurmountable problems during its One Hundred Years of outstanding contributions to education. Together with the other former teachers colleges it has evolved into a multi-purpose institution, thus increasing its areas of service.

The University of Maine at Fort Kent has kept pace with these many changes and in so doing has further expanded its influence. Its several name changes reflect the various stages in its development.

It is a privilege to salute this important unit of the University Syste% its personnel and alumni on the observance of this milestone in its distiigished history and to extend 'best wishes for its continued success.

Sincerely yours,

Clifford O.T . Wieden

Pesident Emeritus
