FLOYD WINSLOVV THE CORNELL ALUMNI CORPORATION Cornell has several alumni or- ganizations, largely independent in their fields of action, although natu- rally 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 members 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, representa- tives of the classes then graduated founded the organization known as the Associate Alumni of Cornell Univcrsi ty. As the alumni increased in number and formed local clubs and organizations, the need arose for a more competent and central or- ganization. The Associate Alumni became a corporation in 1903. In 1923 the name of the association was changed to the Cornell Alumni Cor- poration. All persons who have at- tended Cornell University as stu- dents, whether graduated or not, are members. More than a hundred alumni clubs, in all parts of the world, form the main structure of the or- ganization, and the corporation de- rives its financial support mainly from assessments levied on these clubs. Besides tl1e annual meeting in 16 Ithaca just before Commencement, the corporation holds biennial con- ventions, generally in the autumn. Until 1930 these conventions were scheduled annually: at Cleveland in May, 1921, at Chicago in April, 1922, at Buffalo in October, 1923, at Pitts- burgh in October, 19211, at Detroit in October, 1925, at Philadelphia in November, 1926, at St. Louis in November, 1927, at Washington in November, 1928, at Rochester in October, 1929, at Ithaca in Novem- ber, 1930, and again in 1932. In the future conventions will be held in the even-numbered years. Fifteen alumni comprise the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Twelve are district directors, elected from twelve districts into which the world has been divided, while three are directors-at-large. The personnel of the Board this year includes the following district directors: Central New York, William J. Thorne '11, Metropolitan New York, William W. Macon '98, Eastern New York, C. Reeve Vanne- man '03, Western New York, Dr. Floyd S. Winslow '06, New England, Chester T. Reed '03, Middle Atlantic, William I-I. Henderson '04, Keystone, Howard M. Rogers '07, Southern, Creed W. Fulton '09, Great Lakes, Frank D. Boynton, Jr. '17, Central, Frank G. Gardner '91, Western, Thomas C. Hennings, Jr. '24, Pacific, George L. Hoxie '92. The three directors-at-large are: Mary H. Don- lon '20, Herbert R. Johnston '17, Russell N. Chase '22, The fhocers are: President, Dr. Winslow, Vice-Presidents, Mr. Gard- ner and Mr. Fulton, Treasurer, Archie C. Burnett '90, Secretary, Foster M. Coffin '12. THE ALUMNI REPRESENTA- TIVE AND DIRECTOR OF WILLARD STRAIGHT HALL The central office of the alumni is that of the Alumni Representative. This offdce was created by the Board of Trustees of the University 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 responsi- ble to a committee composed of three representatives of the alumni organi- zations and two members of theBoard of Trustees. His primary duty is the development of the relations between the University and its alumni. Foster M. Coffin '12 has been Alumni Representative since the office was created in 1920. Associated with the office is the Alumni Field Secre- tary, whose principal duty it is to keep in active communication with the local clubs. Ray S. Ashbery '25 has held the position since September 1930. In this position, he has ad- dressed more than one hundred alumni meetings. Ever since the student union at Cornell opened its doors, in 1925, the direction of its manifold activities has also been in charge of Mr. Coffin '12. No institution on the Cornell campus has so completely become a part of the lives of Cornell students as has Willard Straight Hall, a magnificent structure which memorializes a great Cornellian. It is a tribute to the administrative ability of Foster Coffin that Willard Straight Hall has achieved such conspicuous success in the nine years of its existence. The reason for this is that Mr. Coffin has prob- ably the widest contacts with the alumni and students of any man on the campus. In addition to being director of Willard Straight Hall, he is the alumni representative of the University, the secretary of the- Alumni Corporation, and the secre- tary of the Association of Class Secretaries. He filled for the first time the new office of Alumni Representative which was created in 1920, and has been at Cornell since then, gaining in usefulness, in popularity, and in the esteem of thousands of new and old alumni, undergraduates, faculty, members of the administration, and members of the trustees.
