The New Secretary CLARKE E WILLIAMS Following the resignation, due to illness, of Dr. MartzollT, Mr. Clark Williams, ' 21, was elected Alumni Secretary. Mr. Williams is an Athens man, well known in the town and on the campus. During his college course he was active in many fields of undergraduate effort. He was a member of the English Club, the History Club, The Green and White Staff, and Torch. As President of his Senior Class, he made a record for efficient leader- ship which we on the campus are likely to remember. During last year he taught commercial subjects at Athens High School and had been re-engaged at an increase of salary. We are able to assure the Alumni and Student Body of their good fortune in securing the servi- ces of Clark Williams, and we are confident that with the warm support of the Alumni and the co-opera- tion of the administration he will do big things for a greater Ohio University. The Executive Committee, Ohio University Alumni Association. The Ohio University Alumni Association The inception or founding of the Alumni Association of Ohio University, took place in the days immediately following the Civil War. It is not known who was first responsible for the movement to organize the graduates of Ohio University. The task could not have been a large one, for altho sixty years intervened between the founding of the University, February 18, 1 S(»4. and the birth of tin- first Alumni organization, not more than two hundred students had received degrees from the school. Few records have been kept prior to this time and not all the students who had attended the University are known.
