CHARLES REEVE VANNEMAN FOSTER M. COFFIN THE CORNELL ALUMNI CORPORATION Cornell supports 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. The Cornellian Council, de- scribed on the opposite page, is the official fund-raising agency. The Cornell Alumni News, published weekly except during the summer when it appears monthly, is the official alumni magazine. The Federation of Cornell Women's Clubs and the Cornell Association of Class Secretaries have titles which are self-explanatory. At a meeting in 1872, representatives of the classes then graduated founded the organization known as the Associate Alumni of Cornell University. As the alumni increased in number and formed local clubs and organizations, the need arose for a more competent and central organization. The Associate Alumni became a corporation in 1903. ln l923 the name of the association was changed to the Cornell Alumni Corporation. All persons who have attended Cornell University as students, whether graduated or not, are members. More than a hundred alumni clubs, in all parts of the world, form the main structure of the organization, and the Corporation derives its financial support mainly from assessments levied on these clubs. Besides the annual meeting in Ithaca just before Commencement, the Cor- poration holds biennial conventions, generally in the autumn. Until l930 these conventions were scheduled annually: in the future, conventions will be held in the fall of each even-numbered year. 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, and three are directors-at-large. The personnel of the Board this year includes the following district direc- tors: Central New York, William I. Thorne, 'lly Metropolitan New York, Francis O. Affeld, Ir., '97, Eastern New York, C. Reeve Vanneman, '03, Western New York, Herbert R. Iohnston, 'l7g New England, Chester T. Reed, '03g Middle Atlantic, W. Mitchell Price, 'l lg Keystone, Karl W. Gass, 'l2y Southern, Creed W. Fulton, '09, Great Lakes, Russell N. Chase, '22y Central, Alfred W. Mellowes, '06g Western, Theodore A. Eggman, '27g Pacific, Nathaniel I. Goldsmith, '14, The three directors-at-large are: Mrs. Iulia M. Emery, '04, Dr. Floyd S. Winslow, '067 Ioseph B. Campbell, 'l l. The officers are: President, Mr. Vannemany Vice-Presidents, Mr. Fulton and Mr. Chasey Treasurer, Archie C. Burnett, '90p Secretary, Foster M. Coffin, 'l2. The central office of the alumni is that of the Alumni Representative. This office was created in l920, by the Board of Trustees of the University, at the request of the alumni organizations. The Alumni Representative is responsible to a committee composed of representatives of the Alumni Corpora- tion, the Association of Class Secretaries, and the Cornellian Council, together with two members of the University Board of Trustees. His primary duty is the development of the relations between the University and its alumni, with responsibility for the maintenance of alumni records, for the activities of the local clubs, for all alumni activities except those associated with fund-raising. Foster M. Coffin, 'l2, has been Alumni Representative since the office was created in 1920. Associated with the office since l930 has been Ray S. Ash- bery, '25, Alumni Field Secretary, one of whose principal functions is to visit the local clubs. ln the last four years Mr. Ashbery has met with clubs in all parts of the country. His special responsibilities include also Cornell Day, the annual visitation to the campus on a Week-end in May, of selected students from the secondary schools. The Alumni Corporation and the Office of the Alumni Representative have functions in common, with Mr. Coffin and Mr. Ashbery serving as the executive staff of the Corporation. One of the most active alumni organizations is the Corporation's committee on relations with secondary schools, of which Mr, Thorne is chairman. Three of the four alumni members of the special committee appointed this year to study the athletic situation are directors of the Alumni Corporation: Messrs. Vanneman, Thorne, and Winslow. The other alumni member, Andrew I. Whinery, '10, is a recent vice-president of the Alumni Corporation. 24
