| | University of Minnesota Libraries : About Governor Andersen |
 | | During the Minnesota Campaign, the University's major fundraising effort from 1985-88, Governor Andersen played a major leadership role in what was, at the time, the most successful fundraising effort by any public university in the United States. |
 | | In March, 1999, the Governor's personal library of 12,500 rare volumes was given to the Libraries, a donation described by the StarTribune as "a gift of the heart." Since then, an estimated two thousand additional volumes have been presented by Governor Andersen to the Libraries, benefiting the Givens, Tretter, and Rare Books Collections. |
