Alumni Representatives on Vniversity Athletic Committee: I.. A. Smith '99, Holly Springs, Niles Moseley '18, Jackson. By action of the Board of Trustees of the Vniversity and Uolleges in the fall of 1923, an all-time alumni secretary is 11ow maintained at the l'niversity, to cultivate relations between the University and its alumni. Mr. Jefferson K. Hamm '17, formerly of Meridian, Mississippi, is the present secretary. It was decided tl1at one of the first things necessary to be done would be the complete reorganization of the old society of the Illlllfllli, which, although it had been in existence for a number of years, had become inactive, and was not regarded as a representative organization. The work of bringing this about was undertaken by Mr. Hamm, and at a meeti11g of the alun1ni during the 1924 commencement, at which there were about one hundred present, new ofhcers were elected a11d the actual work of reorganization begun. One of the first acts of the DCKS' president was the appointment of an executive committee and a number of regional vice-presidents. The work of the organization has been carried forward through the alumni ofhce under the direction of the executive committee and with the co- operation of the regional vice-presidents. Several alu11111i clubs have been formed in the state and vicinity, and others are 11ow in the process of formation. XVhen present plans are carried out the Vniversity will be able to boast of an alumni organization second to none. Aside from the reorganization of the alumni, the Alumni Office has co-operated with the administration of the University in getting the sentiment of the alumni on Vniversity matters, brought about class reunions, aided in bringing about a re-organization of the athletic committee of the l'niversity, secured alu1n11i representation i11 athletic control, established a11 annual home-coming of Illllllllli to be held each fall duri11g one of the home football games, co-operated with student organizations wherever possible, tried to keep the alumni in touch with the l'niversity and its activities, and co-operated with the various departme11ts of the Vniversity wherever possible. Thus far pleasing progress has been made along all lines, and the work has already begun to bring results to such an extent that the future of the Alumni Association of the l'niversity is assured. Other activities are anticipated and the ge11eral belief is that the time is not far distant when the organized alumni will become the real power in University affairs that they should. 25
