The Society of the Alummi GRADUATES of the University are members of the Society of the Alumni. Former students of the Granville institutions, recipients of honorary degrees, members of the Board of Trustees, and members of the Faculty for at least three years, are received into membership upon payment of the annual dues of $3,00, This Society was founded June 28. 1859, William P. Kerr, ' 45. being the first President. Nearly 5,000 members are enrolled. Annual meetings ar; held in commencement week. The Council was organized in 1921. and holds quarterly meetings. The So- ciety maintains the Denison Alumni Bul- letin, published monthly at Granvill:, Ohio, during the college year under the editorship of th; Executive Secretary. Denison Associations of the So ciety of the Alumni are to be found in th: fol lowing cities; New York, Chicago Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington Pittsburgh, Detroit, Boston, Los Angeles San Francisco, Denver, Rochester, N. Y., St. Louis, Charleston, W. Va., Wheeling Parkersburg, and in larger units as North Carolina, Florida, Japan, West China In Ohio, Associations ar3 found in Cleve land, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Canton Youngstown, Dayton, Norwalk, Mans field, Lima, Middletown, Springfield. Co lumbus and Newark. These Associa tions are the auxiliaries of the Society of the Alumni. It is through these or- ganized local groups that the Executive SecrJtary keeps the alumni in touch with the college and with each other. Before moving into a city where one ' s acquaintance is limited, graduates and undergraduates are urg. ' d to consult with the Executive Secretary, who stands ready to introduce them to officers and members of the local groups who in turn will intro- duce them into circles that are congenial and helpful. The alumni have launched and are carrying on to a successful termination a campaign for $300,000 for the endowment of three professorships. Pledges for nearly all this sum have been secured and cash payments received promise great success for the project. This fund will be placed in the hands of the Board of Trustees m 1931, the centennial of Denison. THE SOCIETY OF THE ALUMNI OF DENISON UNIVERSITY JOHN L.
