Edmund Science Book Fund

A special fund for acquisition of science reference books has been established by an alumnus and Associates trustee, Robert M. Edmund ('70 BSBA), president of Edmund Scientific Company and his father, Norman W. Edmund, who established the Edmund company forty years ago. Edmund Scientific is a pioneer in the design and production of telescopes, microscopes, precision optics, weather instruments, and an extensive variety of scientific and educational equipment. The company is headquartered in Barrington, New Jersey, and has international distributors in Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Edmund Scientific also has given to the library two portable telescopes, several optical instruments, and other useful scientific equipment. These gifts from Edmund Scientific are greatly appreciated by students, faculty, and librarians.

Business Book Fund

A special fund has been initiated for acquisition of books needed by students in business administration. Contributions to this fund have been received from thirty alumni and some corporations. Additional contributions are needed so that the library can acquire and maintain an adequate collection of books required for study and research in business administration and finance.
