Ever since 1861, when the first class grad uated from what was then called the ' Farmers' High School, the College alumni roll has increased until thei l e are now well over 30,000 living graduates of Penn State. In 1870 a small group of men gathered in a chemistry lecture room of Old Main (then used both for classrooms and living units) and organized an Alumni Asso ciation. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution, which was adopted in 1874, when the group was christened the Alumni Asso ciation of the Pennsylvania State College. Privilege Extended In 1875 an amendment was added to the constitution grant ing the association the privilege of electing three of their members to the. Board of Trustees, one each year for three years, giving each a three-year term. This privilege was extended in 1905 to grant the election of nine members, three each year instead of one. Other alumni members of the board may be elected by dele gates from the societies .or ap pointed %by the 'lovernor. In 1906 a new 'constitution was adopted providing for a board of managers to handle the business of the association. The first alumni office was established in 1910 and By INEZ ALTHOUSE E. P. Thomas was appointed sec retary-treasurer. He began publi cation of the Alumni Quarterly, the organization's firt magazine. The magazine was succeeded by the Alumni News in 1918. Office Maintains Contacts Some past activities of the as sociation are the publication of Penn State in the • World War in 1921, containing the records of the alumni in the war; aid in the emergency building fund cam paign in 1921; provision of elabo rate commencement celebrations for bits members; and establish ment of the annual Alumni Home coming Day. The present Alumni office in Old Main keeps a constant tie between the College and its alum ni; Besides the Penn State Alumni News, the office issues weekly Football Letters throughout the football season, a quarterly folder called the - Penn Stater, and an alumni directory from time to time. There are more than 50 Penn State Alumni Clubs throughout the state and country at large, with which the office maintains contact. - reoe,4ir a ii
