The Alumni. HE graduates of the State Normal do not be- long to fraternities, yet the fraternal spirit of the Alumni Association is an iniluence that yearly brings back many of them. The past two years have witnessed a revival in interest among the mem- bers of the Association. In '99 a plan for special reunions of the five-year classes was formed. The next year the classes of '70, '75, '80, '85, '90, '95 held special reunions, at which many were present. The programme at the open meeting of the Asso- ciation was made up largely of speeches and mu- sical numbers by members of these classes. About two months before Commencement, someone in each class was appointed by the President to write letters to each ,member, telling of urging attendance at the exercises ment week. Room 56 was Htted up room, and a. committee was always .every former graduate truly welcome. will be followed the present year, and the classes which will, in addition to the general grand reunion, hold special reunions of their own are '76, '81, '86, '91 and '96. During the past two years mid-winter meet- ings of the resident Alumni have been held at Emporia. this plan and of Commence- as a reception- there to make The same plans .J-.37- This winter the matter of a permanent Alumni build- ing Was discussed and a committee consisting of Pro- fessor J. H. Hill and Mrs. G. W. Newman appointed to consider the matter further. With but slight in- dividual expense the many hundreds of graduates could erect a building near the Normal which would be a suitable reception hall for visiting Alumni. With the help of the four literary societies, a handsome structure la-rge enough to contain halls for the meet- ing-place of each society could be erected. The ac- comodations would far surpass those now enjoyed by the literary societies, and in helping to erect this build- ing each member would also know that he was helping to establish a permanent home for the Alumni Asso- ciation, of which a large portion of each society finally becomes members.
