lumni of Duke University and Trinity College TN dedicating the thirty-ninth volume of the Chanticleer to the alumni and alumnae of Duke University and Triiiih College — most especially to those who have given twenty-five years of service— the undergraduate students wish to recog- nize them as an increasingly vital element in our University community. Homecoming and graduation are the onl) times when the average student has any personal contact with Dukes former students. Last June th; j present seniors met the class of ' 25 — the first class to graduate from Duke University — which was holding its twenty-fifth reunion. Again, the alumni met students at the barbecue and open houses following the victorious Homecoming game with Geor- gia Tech. Yet the students can hardly realize the ways in which the alumni are present in their everyday hie. The co-eds living in Southgate have the alumni and citizens of Durham to thank for their residence hall. Hundreds of students owe their edu- cation to scholarship funds set up by loyal alumni. Studies are made more pleasant by the peaceful atmosphere of the Trent Room in the new addition to the Library dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Josiah C. Trent, Jr. These and other generous contributions have made life more enjoyable on the Duke Campus. However, the alumni ' s contributions are not haphazard. Their activities are well coordinated by the General Alumni Association, the Duke University National Council, and the Alumni Ollice ot Duke University. During the year reunions are held to reacquaint the -Minimi with their alma mater, and each month the Alumni Register is sent to a part ol the 25,000 located alumni to keep them in touch with their classmates and the present activities of the students and administration. At the present time most alumni contributions have been to the Duke Development pro- gram through which $12,000,000 is being sought to erect new buildings and to strengthen j rograms ot education and research. In this small way the present student body of Duke, which will soon join local alumni associations throughout the coun- try, wishes to recognize and thank the alumni from the Class of ' 77 through the Class of 50 for their contributions to the students four undergraduate years at Duke. The oldest living Duke graduate. Mr. C. B. Franklin, from the class of 76. is pictured here with his wife on their California ranch which he has farmed dili- gently since graduation.
