. In 1870, or nine years after the

a two fold purpose. One-being

tion and since 1910, has had a full
time executive secretary.'
In order that you may be in

which the Association offers, we
are listing a few of its activities:
(1.) On September 20, the
members of the All-College Cabi
net, student government organi

bers of the Executive Board of the
Alumni Association to discuss
matters of mutual interest to stu
dents and alumni.
(2.) The Alumni Association'
cooperates with other College de
partments in securing jobs, for
