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.

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.
