T. Allen, who, formany years, was president ei '3f3Z,- s,.,-.4-3-rr, this school. It is not too much to concede that the in- vigorating loyalty of the Alumni for the school is di- rectly and indirectly caused by the penetrating force of this personality among its members and the faculty. With its object the establishment of an Allen Memorial Fund, the .Xlumni Association has surged into activity again, with renewed vigor.. 'lille executive committee of the association met in Berkeley and San jose lfist December and plans for the betterment of the association were dis- missed. lt was decided that for a worthy object about which might cent-- er part of the activity for each- year nothing could be better than establ- lishing some tribute of esteem to the memory of Chas. H. Allen. ' Contributing to the furtherance of this central aim it was decided that the association put on a musical drama this coming june, in order to secure a sinking fund of two hundred dollars, which fund shall be used for a similar affair each succeeding year and thus 'aid in making the --Xllen Fund a reality. i ln order to make the secretaryiwork more efficient, it was decided that a minor organization be effected, i. e., through a county-secretary, who should notify all resident alumni of the plans for each year. lt WaS decided that for a socializing force among the scattered Alumni that this c-.iunty organization meet-at a social gathering with each county insti- tute. This county organization has been effected in most of the coun- and delightful gatherings have been held with a few of the county- mfefutes this Spflng.

State organizations of our graduates in Nevada and Uregon have been con- sidered. I , An Alumni directory is to be published in the near future. T he work of securing desired data has been under the efficient supervision of Miss Ardee Parsons of San Mateo.

' . By the time that this book is read the questions of the proportions of the Allen Memorial Fund andthe use it will be put to will have been decided. We trust that every graduate of the school will keep in close touch with the progress of the assocation and the school and thus make our organization one that will be worthy of the name of San .lose State Normal. + .
