June 1, 1915. Class of 1915, Chicago Normal College. Dear Friends: The aim of the Chicago Normal Alumni Association is to unite the grad- uates of the Chicago Normal College in a closer school spirit; to promote the welfare of the Chicago Normal College; to keep alive its traditions, and to educate the public to the value and need of trained teachers in the public schools. All graduates of the Chicago Normal College are eligible to mem- bership The above quotation is taken from the Constitution of the Chicago Normal Alumni Association and explains briefly the aim of the organization. While there is much sentiment connected with the membership of alumni organizations, there is also a very practical aspect to them. If the Chicago Normal College is a first-class institution, every graduate should be proud to belong to an organization that has for its aim the perpetuation and welfare of the college. To be a graduate of a first-class school becomes a professional asset. It should be the constant duty of every alumnus to make the work of the Chicago Normal College more effective and far-reaching. During the past year there have been held two large gatherings of the Alumni, one on Alumni Day in February and the other on Teachers ' Day in May. It is the intention to hold at least four meetings a year, namely, one on Alumni Day, one on Teachers ' Day, an excursion in the autumn, and a reception or banquet in the downtown district during the winter. The Superintendent of Schools and the Principal of the Normal College have made arrangements for the establishment of a room in the Chicago Normal College to be known as the Alumni Room. In this room will be kept tangible mementos and records of the Chicago Normal College from its inception to the present time. The Association has been reorganized on a directorship basis so that the Board of Directors will be composed of members who will hold office for three years and one third of the membership will be renewed each year. In this manner two thirds of the Directors will at all times be experienced officers. The annual dues are fifty cents and while this is but a nominal sum, the payment of this fee is absolutely essential in order that printing, postage, announcements, etc., can be supplied. Although there is danger that the student in the Normal College may be too close to really appreciate the greatness of the institution and the honor of being a member of it — still the tradition should be started whereby every student should, upon graduation, feel it a part of his duty to be an active, paid-up member on or before the da} of graduation. I hope that the class of 1915 will appoint its treasurer a committ ee of one to organize the class, and have the honor of being the first class to join the Alumni Association as a body. Dues may be remitted to Mr. S. E. B. Holmen, 2701 North Kedzie Avenue. (Signed) William Bachrach, President Chicago Normal Alumni Association.
