EX-STUDENTS ' ASSOCIATION JACK RUSSELL MAGUIRE Executive Secretary HERMAN JONES President The Ex-Students ' Association is only two years younger than The University of Texas itself, having been organized in 1885. Today it is one of the largest independent alumni organizations in the U. S., and it is the vehicle through which more than 190,000 former students continue their interest in, and service to, the University. The Association does more than keep records on alumni, although that is one of its primary functions. It also sponsors more than 150 Texas Exes Clubs throughout the world; publishes a monthly magazine, The Alcalde; provides a number of services to members, such as the priority for the purchase of football tickets; and performs a number of functions in behalf of The University. Through the years, The Ex-Students ' Association has created more than a quarter of million dollars in endowed funds which annually provide scholarships for many students. It also maintains sizable student loan funds. The Association is not part of The University and its program in behalf of the institution is supported through the annual dues of its members. Its affairs are governed by a thirty-three Executive Council elected from throughout the state. A thirteen mem- ber paid staff is maintained at the headquarters in The Texas Union.

Special provision, however, is made for participating or dues paying members with the number of this classification exceeding 3,400 during the year 1957-58. The Dads ' Association sponsors Dads ' Day each year during the fall. It was observed on November 9, 1957.

Hundreds of parents visited the campus during the weekend. In ad- dition to Dads ' Day, the Dads ' Association publishes The U. T.
