The Babson Institute Alumni Associa- tion was organized on August 6, 1931, for the purpose of promoting the welfare of Babson Institute, and establishing a mutually bene- ficial relationship between Babson Institute and its alumni. Membership of the Associa- tion, which includes graduates of the Institute, or those who have attended for one or more terms, numbers about 6,000. The Association is administered by a President, Vice President, Clerk and Trea- surer, and a Board of twelve elected Directors, and the following committees: Finance, Alum- ni Funds, Nominating, Athletic, Admission, Alumni-Student Relations, and special com- mittees. The DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI RELA- TIONS, Dr. Bertrand R. Canfield, represents the College in its relations with alumni and is in charge of the Alumni Office and staff. Mr. Leonard Wood was appointed to the position of DIRECTOR OF PUBLICITY by the Board of Trustees to keep the name of BABSON before the public through news- papers, magazines, trade journals, radio and television. Mr. Woodis wide range of experience was a deciding factor in his selection by the Board. Being associated with some of the nation's largest magazines, newspapers, and advertis- ing agencies before coming to Babson, and conducting the first Congressional Campaign for Mrs. Claire Booth Luce, Mr. Wood has shown that the Babson publicity department has the potential of being one of the most effective departments of its kind in the field of educational public relations.
