AROUND THE QUADS
Dean’s Circle Reception
Dean Austin Quigley thanked about 40 of the College’s most generous benefactors for their support at the annual Dean’s Circle Reception on June 7, hosted by Eli Bryk ’78, ’82 P&S (second from right). Quigley recounted some of the high points of the past year, including the College’s record-low selectivity rate of 8.9 percent, the $400 million gift for financial aid by John Kluge ’37 and the Class of 2007’s record participation rate of 84.5 percent, and quoted a recent graduate who noted the development of “a culture of appreciation rather than entitlement” among his peers. Columbia College Fund Chairman Mark L. Amsterdam ’66 also thanked the guests for their generous support and Dean of Alumni Affairs and Development Derek Wittner ’65 presented Bryk and his wife, Laurie, with a gift for hosting the event at their Fifth Avenue apartment.
