Pugh St. SALLY'S Alumni Association Graduates , Even In By MARY ANN PLETCHER That “Nittany Lion” spirit was probably never more evident than one night in January 191.1, when eight Penn: State alumni met at the Hotel Tivoli on the .Isthmus of Panama and formed a local alum ni association. These men, all em ployed in the construction of the Panama Canal celebrated their reunion in the true Penn State manner. Following a sumptuous dinner, they drank toasts to “the Ladies, Our Nittany Lion, Air ships, Life Partners and Bubbles. ’ To them, as well .as thousands of other Penn Staters, the Alumni Association has been of great help. It aids not only the individual alumnus, but has been partially responsible for the growth of. iiio college it represents. The Alumni Association was <>r ganized in I'B7o. Its membershir included all graduates of the Col lege. Officers and a historian were elected from each class. It was Urn. duty of the latter to .prepare a personal list of each alumnus giv ing age, residence, occupational record and maritial status. RECORDS AID ALUMNI Mr. E. K. Hi.bshman, ’O9, be came secretary of the Associatioi in 1930. He points out that, “ihe must vital part of any alumni as sociation is the record file.” This has grown in size from nin meager one kept in 1370 to inciuuv five files or classifications. .0”i Master File covers the •undergrau uate’s record and activities, .dm> changes of address, and other sup_ il'ar information. The Biographical. File contains all correspondence photographs, newspaper clipping” and other information pertaimn.- to the achievements of the alum nus. There are also an addresso • graph file, a geographic card 1 him and a card file toy. classes. “It is surprising io notes’ si-iu. Mr. Hibshman, “how these records can aid an alumnus. For instance, hardly, a day passes that the hiies aren’t checked. Th case ap alum nus is being considered for im portant government -or. military positions they are referred) to by the F. 8.1. or Army and Navy in telligence. They, are-also used by private companies and placement services. "When an alumnus has kept in contact with the Associa tion and his record is good, he is greatly aided by the information given a prospective employer. It,' on the other hand, there is itu record the College-is powerless to i aid him in securing a position.” These files constitute, the only complete record's of the- 30,000 alumni _ and ex-students of Penn State. ’ , * Membership in the Alumni As sociation is divided into three classifications. These ’ include the annual membership of $3 a year with a joint membership of $4 n. husband and wife are both- Alum ni. Payment for life -membership is based on the number of years out of college. The third type is the student alumni riiembership.

THE COLLEGIAN Its cost is $8 and covens the Jive year period! after graduation. This fee may later be applied to a life membership. ALUMNI PUBLICATIONS The old Quarterly which start ed in 1880 as the Alumni Record was superceded by the Alumni News in September 1914, This is published seven times a year andJ goes only to members of the or ganization. The issues carry many items of interest such as athletic news, reports from district clubs and news of classes and individ uals. Every Monday during football season a Football Letter is sent to association members giving a sideline story of the previous Sat urday’s game. “However,’’ said the secretary, ‘ these publications go to only 10 percent of the total alumni. Be- Abe Lincoln' Returns After Exciting Trip To Nation s Capital “They treated me just like Abe Lincoln" declared Abraham Lin coln Garber Hite when, he return ed to State College last night from a three-day. trip to Washington. Hite, impersonator of Lincoln, who has oat $292,545 worth of War Savings stamps to school children of- Centre County, was sent to .the Nation’s capital for Lincoln’s birthday by State Col lege friends who were desirous ol’ expressing their appreciation. The most exciting moments of the trip, Hite explained, were when he walked into a conference of U. S. Savings Bonds Division directox’s. He met the hew na tional director, Vernon L. Clark, and the assistant national direc tor, Laurence M. Olney, and each of 36 state representatives at'the conference. “They asked me to talk” Hite said “so II made a short speech. Then they thanked me for selling stamps and told me to keep it up. That’s right.” One of .the .Treasury, depart ment officials said that- Hite “told a sincere story' and made an ex cellent impression.” Hite visited the Lincoln Mem orial.- “When I came down the steps,” he explained, “there were photo graphers on . all sides taking my picture.” -Hite visited the White House but did not see the President. He also toured the city, seeing other points of interest and was amus ed that his guide’s name also was “Abe.” “I wore my Abe L/ncoln uni form all of the time,” Hite said. “At night the people would gath er in the hotel lobby and ask for Abe Lincoln. Refresh comm: ’ UOTTIED UNDER AUIHOI COCA; COLA 30TTL 7 Helps Panama cause o£ this, we of the Alitmmi office felt that there shotud be a publication sent to everybody re gardless of membership. In re sponse to this the Penn Staler, a quarterly, was inaugurated and goes to everybody. It carries the highlights of alumni and college activities.” . In '1935 an Alumni Directory was published which includes 25,- 353 alumni of the College. It is arranged alphabetically, geograph ically and by classes. Other Services for Alumni “If a former "student expects to move to a new community, he may look in the geographical .-ca tion and find the names and' ad dresses of former Penn Staters now residing in that district," Mr. Hibshman continued. The Alumni Association pro motes good will by securing fav orable publicity for the Collage in newspapers and periodicals. It has assisted in securing appropria tions and other legislation from the State Legislature. Recreation Hall, Jordan Hall and Irvin Hall were built largely by contributions from, the aumni. Many other worth while gifts have been made to the College by the classes. Students have also been aided by- the alumni who have built up loan funds and established schol arships. They have been helpful in securing positions for students following graduation since con tacts can readily be made with prominent men in business and in dustrial organizations. The Alum ni Association is also interested in providing better social facilities for students.
