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.

The REGISTRAR, Mr. Stewart L. Stokes, Jr., is responsible for the preparation of all Faculty teaching schedules and stu- dent section schedules. He is also responsible for the preparation and maintenance of all student records, registration, the administra- tion of Selective Service affairs, the prepara- tion of Hnal examination schedules, the prep- aration of the program format for Com- mencement and the proper preparation of the diploma orders. The REGISTRAR also serves as Secretary of the Faculty. Mr. Stokes is an alumnus of Babson, Class of 1956, and earned his Master of Busi- ness Administration Degree from Northeast- ern University. During his undergraduate career at Babson, Mr. Stokes distinguished himself by becoming a member of the Blue Key National Honor Society, and by winning the Macy-Wheeler Award for naturalness, friendliness, persistence, and loyalty. The Placement Office at Babson exists to be of service to Babson students and alumni, to the college as a whole, and to the businesses and other organizations where our men find oppor- tunities. During the 1965-66 year, the Placement Office has had more job opportunities than in recent years. At the same time, because of gen- erally high employment among alumni and be- cause of the competition of graduate school and military service for graduating students, there have been fewer job candidates than usual. In accordance with a trend, noticeable on campuses across the country, beginning job salaries are higher than ever before, at least for the best- qualified men. As ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PLACE- MENT, Miss Elizabeth Kebbe has enjoyed work- ing with the members of the class of 1966-both BS and MBA candidates-and wishes you all success in the years to come.
