. 2. nm Liv 1 ll fri tv ff r 1 it m N f The Alumni THE CORNELL ALUMNI CORPORATION Cornell has several alumni organizations, largely independent in their fields of action, although naturally interlocking to a degree. The Cornell Alumni Corporation is the general alumni association and has as its object the promotion of the interests of the University and the fostering among its mem- bers of a sentiment of regard for one another and attachment to their Alma Mater and the ideal of service to humanity. At a meeting in 1872, representatives of the classes then graduated founded the or- ganization known as the Associate Alumni of Cornell University. As the alumni increased in number and formed local clubs and organi- zations, the need arose for a more competent and central organization. The Associate Alumni became a corporation in 1903. ln 1923 the name of the association was changed to Cornell Alumni Corporation. All persons who have attended Cornell University as stu- XVII-I-IAM W- MACON, '98 dents, whether graduated or not, are members. Pfrlidwf The alumni clubs form the main structure of the organization, and the Corporation derives its financial support mainly from assessments levied on these clubs. Fifteen alumni comprise the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Twelve are district directors, elected from the twelve districts into which the world has been divided, while three are directors-at-large. I The personnel of the Board this year includes the following district directors: Central New York, Thomas I. S. Boak, '14, Metropolitan New York, Weyland Pfeiffer, '16, Eastern New York, C. Reeve Vanneman, '03, Western New York, Floyd Kipp Smith, '94, New England, Chester T. Reed, '03, Middle Atlantic, Douglas S. Dilts, '17, Keystone, L. W. Voight, '21, Southern, Creed W. Fulton, '09, Great Lakes, Conant Van Blarcom, '08, Central, Frank G. Gardner, '91, Western, Edward Holmes, '05, Pacific, F. E. Yoakum, 'l2. The three directors-at-large are: Mrs. Walter A. Calihan, '05, William W. Macon, '98, Floyd S. Winslow, '06. ' The ofhcers are: President, Mr. Macon, Vice-Presidents, Mr. Gardner and Dr, Winslow, Treasurer, Archie C. Burnett, '90, Secretary, Foster M. Coflin, '12. THE ALUMNI REPRESENTATIVE The central oflice of the alumni is that of the Alumni Representative. This office was created by the Board of Trustees at the request of the Alumni Corporation, the Association of Class Secretaries, and the Cornellian Council. The Alumni Representative is appointed by the Board of Trustees upon the nomination of the Presidents of these three organizations. He is responsible to a committee composed of three representatives of the alumni organizations and two members of the Board of Trustees. His primary duty is the development of the relations between the Uni- versity and its alumni. Foster M. Coffin, '12, has been Alumni Representative since the oliice was created in 1920. ' 1231 1.-
