In December 1994, the College received a four-year challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the renovation of Schaffer Library.
The first two years of the challenge have been successful. With more than $1 million in cash gifts received in support of the challenge, the College has claimed a second payment of $200,000 from the NEH.
In the next two years, Union needs to raise another $1.3 million to complete the NEH challenge.
Gifts may be sent to Dan C. West, vice president for college relations, 27 Terrace Lane, Union College, Schenectady, N.Y. 12308. His telephone number is (518) 388-6180, and his e-mail address is westd@alice.union.edu.
