A "well done" also goes out to Bill Colehower, class head agent, who quarter-backed a superb performance in this past year's Alumni Fund drive. Through his efforts strongly supported by a great number of you who worked hard with Bill the class set a new record for contributions and achieved a higher percentage of givers than in the past several years.

Tom Noonan writes from Bloomington, Md., that he was the only non-European participant at the Sixth Oxford Symposium on Coinage and Monetary History held in January 1981. Tom presented a paper on ninth-century Islamic coins found in Russia.

Upon returning to academia, I was named the first chairman of the new department of Russian and East European Studies within the Department of History at the university."
