	Burroughs Corp.
		Burroughs Corporation, which is celebrating its 100th operating year, will launch its second century with a new corporate identity.
		The new Burroughs will be identified by a distinctive new logo and logotype, new corporate colors (crimson and grey), and a bold new corporate positioning statement that will be the genesis of all future internal and external communications from the company.
		Burroughs' new corporate identity is the result of an intensive one-year survey of the perceptions of the company by its own management, by major customers and prospective customers worldwide, by the investment community, by the press and by the public at large.

	Literary Encyclopedia: William Burroughs
		Throughout this period of his life, Burroughs received modest monthly checks from a trust fund established by his parents; the widely circulated reports of “Burroughs millions”, derived from his supposed connection to the Burroughs Corporation, are myths.
		During this bohemian period, Burroughs met and became a mentor to two misfit Columbia University students, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac; their 1943 meeting marks the start of the Beat Generation.
		Burroughs and Ginsberg had a short-lived love affair that Burroughs periodically tried to revive until the mid-Fifties.
