The prime object of the Association was, and is, to strengthen the ties formed in school, and to pro- mote the interest of graduates and the welfare of Alma Mater. The admission fee is five dollars, and that goes to enlarge a fund, the interest of which is used in buying books for the library. This is the only fund for that special purpose, and many of the rare art books and choice copies of rare hooks came into the possession of the school in this way. Most generous additions to the library in the way of modern essays, travel, biography. etc., have been made within the last three years, and thus the Class of 190-1 has been indirectly the beneficiary. It is to be hoped that its members will join the Association en nmssf, that they may help pass on to future classes the pleasure which has been theirs. Meetings are held twice a year,--once in Qctober, and again at Com- mencement time: and should anyone doubt the genuineness of the enjoy- ment which its memhers feel, let her stand outside the door some day and listen to the shouts of mirth from the old girls assembled. 'Tis eminently fitting that the big banner of 190-1 should be placed in this goodly company, so let us help swell the chorus in a hearty toast to our old Bradford. I 93 l

A large delegation from Chicago attended the Centennial Celebration last June, and at that time reported a most flourishing society, great interest being manifested.
