More than 18,500 Illini are dues-paying members of the Association, making it the fourth largest alumni organization in the nation. Through its elaborate record maintenance system, the Association keeps in touch with the more than lO0,000 living members of the vast Illini 'family throughout the world. Address and biographical information on any alumnus are available to all Illini. Across the nation and overseas the Alumni Association serves Illinois alumni through a net- work of Illini Clubs which bring alumni together for fellowship and to cooperate on projects of assistance to the University. Nine times a year Alumni Association mem- bers receive their copies of Illinois Alumni News with its stories and pictures of University life and happenings. To help bridge the gap between campus and everyday life, the Association is cooperating in producing a new motion picture of the campus in color and sound to be released in 1955. In addition to the central alumni otlice in the Illini Union, the Alumni Association has a repre- sentative on the Illini Center in the LaSalle Hotel in Chicago to serve the thousands of Illini in that area.
