Conrad Irederick Smith. ' 26. is also publicity director of the College, and as such, is working hand in hand with the Administration in telling the world about Davidson Davidson ' s reputation has never shown more brightly, and it is the desire of all connected with the College that this reputation and this firm hold that Davidson has upon the public be translated into active support of its Centennial Program and of the years to come. The year has been a vital one from the standpoint of alumni meetings and interest shown by old Davidson grads everywhere. It has been generally agreed that there has never been a more interesting program than the Homecoming Day meet- ing in the banquet hall last November 6lh. just before the Carolina game I hree speakers of unusual worth ssere on the program: Dr Julian Miller, editor of the Charlolle 0 ).mtl ' it, David Ovens, head of Ivey ' s Department Store. Charlotte, and Dr. Walter 1.. I. ingle, president of the College Their talks were brilliant and witty, and entertained the large crowd of Homccomers no end. Then of course, the intro- duction and the presiding grace of Dr. Orcn Moore. ' 08. president of the Alumni Association added nnuh to the success of the meeting. Several were heard to say that no better collection of speakers in North Caro- lina could have gotten together for any occasion. During one week in November, the alumni secretary spoke before Davidson alumni meetings in Philadelphia. New York and Boston. It was good to sec the interest in Davidson displayed at all these meetings. One of the largest meetings of the fall was held in Winston-Salem on November 1st. Professor Archibald Currie. of the College faculty, delivered an inspiring address: The Things That Have Made Davidson Great. Professor Currie was also the main speaker at a large meeting of Charlotte and Meck- lenburg County alumni a few weeks later. More than 200 persons were present at this, the largest meeting of Davidson alumni off the campus. Two new chapters were organized during the year, those at Memphis and Boston. April started off the 1 ounders Day meetings, which centered about the Founders Day celebration at the College on April 12th. Among the best meetings were those in Atlanta, presided over by Dr. W. M. Dunn. 04: in Rock Hill. S. C. presided over by Dan S. LaFar, ' 51: in Florence, S. C presided over by Dr. Julian Price. ' 22: and Gastonia. N. C over which Frank P. Hall. Jr.. ' 20. was the presiding official. Davidson now has an Oriental chapter, composed of four members, of which Rev. A P. Hassell. D.D.. 06. is president: Rev. Martell A. Trcmain. ' 20. vice-president: Rev. J. Harper Brady. 14. treasurer: Rev. J. A. McAlpinc. ' 27, secretary. And before long, several alumni in Mexico intend to get together and form an organization below the Rio Grande. The April I 2th I ' oundcrs Day meeting was one of the largest celebrations ever held at Davidson. Governor Clyde R. Hoey. who received an honorary degree from Davidson last spring, was the main speaker. With many other attractions, the program attracted a large number of visitors from far and wide. The Alumni Association is being recognized more and more as an invaluable adjunct to the College, not only in its tradition and history, but in active support of all the aims and worthwhile projects of the College. — Fred S.mith.
