The Ernest L. and Ruth A. Kradolfer Library Endowment was established in 2001 by the Kradolfers. Ruth Ann is a 1956 graduate of the Pre-Physical Therapy program at The University of Montana. Kradolfers are both users of the Mike and Maureen Mansfield Library, and know the importance of having up-to-date resources available for library patrons.

The fund supports the acquisition or licensing of print or electronic journals and other Library resources for the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library in order to serve a diverse audience of pharmacology and allied health scholars and students.
