This interest takes many forms but most apparent is the enthusiasm for Association and Chapter activities. This year the general association assumed partial responsibility for the financing of a Public Relations Office at the Court. The function of this new department will be the interpretation of the Court and its activities, both scholastic and extra-curricular, to the public. The office will also serve as a liaison between the college and the alumnae. The Alumnae Fund, a program of voluntary giving, has re- placed the outmoded dues system. Under this new plan each mem- ber of the Association contributes to the college whatever amount she wishes. Once safely established, this Fund will eliminate further money-raising activity by the general association and will provide many benelits to the college as well. The business of the Alumnae is transacted through the Ad- visory Council which is composed of the Association officers and the Chapter Chairmen. Chapters are set up on a geographic basis. Their activities in- clude Days of Recollection; “College Days’ for student recruiting; luncheons, dances, card parties, fashion shows and the like to benefit their scholarship funds; the sponsorship of scholarships; publication of the Court Alumnae Newsletter. There is much latitude in Chapter activity. Each group may select whatever suits its members best. Highlight of the Alumnae year is reunion week end held tra- ditionally during the first week end of May. Special honor is given to the five year classes and a full program of parties, meetings, a banquet, and entertainment is provided by a large Alumnae Association co mmittee and the sisters.
