Albert Hofstadter, professor of

says the aim of the Council of
University of California Emeriti
Associations (CUCEA) is to foster
not only the welfare of council
members but communication
between the University and its
emeriti community.
Hofstadter says the CUCEA will

maintain lists of emeriti, widows,
and other survivors; seek to
influence proposed University and
legislative actions that concern
emeriti; develop an information
service for emeriti members of the

associations develop their roles in
the Academic Senate and their
services to emeriti.
Upon retirement, the title
