With his appreciation of the many-faceted literary field as an example. the Society adopted a diversified program which varied each meeting's content. lt in- cluded speakers upon contemporary literary topics, discussions of controversial works, recordings of noted authors, and seminars on individual writing attempts. The accent was placed upon an increased aware- ness of activity in the field and an all-round compre- We're not always serious-? iw: -I-4'-1-Iftlafir -25515 , .fliftd ' hensive understanding of it as an essential part of a business student's educational background.

ii l ll g l of Business Association Sparked by the Fordham University Alumni Federation, the School of Business Alumni Association has undergone a sweeping change that presages the most successful year in the organization's history. After completely overhauling its constitution and fashion- ing it after that of a corporate setup providing for carry-over officers, the association conducted a mail poll of its entire alumni list to determine the makeup of the nine members of the Board of Governors. Each alumnus was asked to approve or disapprove the new constitution and to nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Governors, with each nomination being countersigned by five other School of Business alumni. Close to 400 alumni returned their ballots and approved the constitution by a virtually unanimous vote. As set forth in the constitution, one of the major objectives of the association will be to foster unity, loyalty and growth among School of Business Alumni, to promote interest in the science of Business and to have educational and social meetings. The constitution provides for the election of Board of Gov- ernor's members for a term of three years, one-third of the Board to be elected each year, with no member serving more than two full terms. The first election provides for the elec- tion of three members for a one-year term, three for two years, and three for the full three-year term. Yesterday's students . . . today's business men.
