A Message from the President of the Alumnae Association Die alumnae movement which has taken such great sunk- during recent years is said to be one of the greatest college movements of the age. It does give promise of the greatest and quickest results. The students who leave an institu- tion year after year form one of her best assets. They arc not only her paid up capital; they are continually pouring into her treasury their love gifts and are disseminating the gospel of training and of culture. An organization which provides for the conservation and proper direction of the training, loyalty and service of these students, is an essential factor in the life of an institution and provides for close co-operation between the governing bodies and those most vitally interested in her welfare. The Alumnae Association of Greensboro College which was organized in 1884, has not only fostered every interest of the college, but has helped to prom ite every forward looking movement. Today, this Association joins with the trus- tees, the president and faculty, and with the present student body in a movement for a greater Greensboro College. The general aim of the organization is to foster and maintain in the daughters of Greensboro College, a love for their Alma Mater, to keep them intelligently informed as to her needs and welfare, and to provide an opportunity to express their interest in voluntary service. ( ur Alumnae Association has four loan scholarships at the disposal of worthy, ambitious students. A $10,000 fund for the endowment of the chair of English is well under way: this fund to be known as the Alumnae Chair of Eng- lish endowment. With the business of the Association in good shape and with hundreds of former students and graduates ready to share in the advancement oi any enterprise which is for the good of our college, the opportunity tor larger co-operation and more definite service is an incentive to even greater devotion and loyalty to our beloved Alma Mater.
