Colvin, editor of lbE Iflnmir ,-llzmzzzi Nun F H Ebef 016 P 'J f The University of Illinois Alumni Association The Alumni Association begins where student days end. It is the bond between alumni and their Alma Mater. As host for the University, the Alumni Association maintains a reception room in the Illini Union Building where alumni are always welcome and may find personalized service. For the use of all Illini, there is a Chicago Center at the LaSalle Hotel. The center consists of a lounge, Chicago headquarters for both the Association and the University Placement Bureau, and other University oflices. The Alzzvmzi News, the Association's monthly magazine, goes to more than 60,000 Illini scattered over the world, informing them of campus events and providing news of their classmates and friends. Aside from maintaining biographical records and addresses for more than 80,000 alumni, it assists Illini throughout the country in organizing Illini clubs and in promoting entertaining and constructive programs. The Association works with the University's Placement Bureau, assisted in its establishment for the benefit of Illini employers and employees alike. By having student representatives on the Board of Directors, it fosters better student-alumni relations and cooperates in sponsoring Homecoming, Founders Day, Class Reunions, and other occasions for the benefit of alumni returning to the campus. The Alumni Association works unceasingly to advance and promote the growth and progress of the University.

Its chief function is to en- courage gifts, from both individuals and corporations, for the purpose of assisting the general educational and research program of the University. One phase of this activity is the Illini Achievement fund. organized in December, 19-18, as a permanent annual-gift program in the interests of the University. In 19-19 the Achievement fund set a new record among Big Ten schools, and among all midwestern state universities, for the number of gifts to such a program during its first year. The roll of contributors included the names of 5,071 Illini and other friends of the University of Illinois, and mem- bers of the class of 19-19, who contributed 55800 as a senior class gift toward the development of a recreational area for students and faculty members. Another function of the Foundation is the development of patents as- signed to it by the University. Acting in this capacity, the Foundation has acquired patent rights on several inventions, notably a smokeless furnace and an ammoniated dentifrice that helps to combat tooth decay. The Foundation has a membership of one hundred persons, most of whom are alumni of the University. The present Board of Directors, consisting of nine members, is made up of H. B.
