These are just a few of the needs of our Alma Mater. Perhaps you can name many more. But, does it no-t suggest to you in just how many ways you might prove your loyalty and contribute to the growth and welfare of C. W. C? At times we are inclined to believe it is time an obituary is written of the spirit of our Alumni Assn, but, let's be more kind hearted than that, and hope you are awake to the import- ance of fulfilling your duty -towards your Alma Mater. But, now we ask that you kindly arouse yourselves-consider the importance and necessity of giving these various needs of our Alma Mater a just consideration. Nothing has so power- ful an influence as a good example. Wfho will be the first one to rally to her need? Our Alma Mater needs our very best support. It has made headway in the past few years, but we must build for the future. If we, the Alumni, will not give C. VV. C. our best support, how can we expect others to do so? Let us prove ourselves worthy sons and daughters of our Alma Mater. OLD ALUMNI

Every Alumnus should take an increased interest in the affairs of his Alma Mater by following her advancements and responding to her calls of duty. For if we have enthusiasm and loyalty it will inevitably lead to activity and lifeg and, who among her sons and daughters does not dream of a greater C. XV. C. It we, as Alumni, who have received much from her do not rally to her support, how shall it be realized? Many hands will do wonders and are we not over four hun- dred strong? First, let us give our moral support and then our hnancial. The support received from the students at school from the latter source is naturally meagre, but, shall not we who have entered fields of activity give her our support? The girls' dormitory has not been realized as yet. What would we not have sacrificed on December 31, 1919, to have had our dear S. A. restored? Can we and will we not do as much for her now when her future is bright? At the Alumni reunion last spring it was decided to en- deavor to do something tangible for C. VV. C. in the near future. Thus, it was that the Land and Building Fund was created for the purpose of purchasing a strip of land east of the present campus extending to Silver Lake. This will include about ten acresg also, for the purpose of making a small beginning for an eventual erection of a gymnasium for C. VV. C. Wotild it not be a worthy gift to our Alma Mater! The College Library is as yet in its beginning and much is needed in order to bring it up even to its former standard. Ap- peals directly and indirectly come from time to time pointing out the needs of an adequate library. As much as money is needed and will be gratefully received-nevertheless good books will also be appreciated, if any of our alumni feel they wish to con- tribute them. A field secretary is now at work in the territory allotted to Central Wiscoiisiii College in which he may collect funds for the College Endowment. Here is a chance to contribute to a fund which will continue to work long after our days of service are over, and when we may no longer realize the benefits our Alma Mater derives from this source. Nevertheless, while We are per-
