The Alumni Association At noon on ( ommi.nn.mtnt D.iy. tlic annual dmncr anj business meeting ' of the lllmois State Normal rnivcrsity Alumni Association was held. Two hundred and thirty- five members were present. William Small was elected president of the Alumni Association. 1 . J. Lancaster, vice- president, and Nfrs. K. C. Adolph, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Small received his diploma from I. S. N. U. in 1919 and is now livini; in Petersburg. Illinois. That the Normal University, with its fine record of ac- complishments and its bright prospects for the future should be handicapped by an inditferent alumni is unthink able, stated Mr. Small, and went on with the plea that the membership be at least trebled during the current year. ' Undoubtedly, Mr. Small realized the need for an or ganization of alumni of Illinois State Normal University As a result, alumni clubs were organized in thirteen coun ties (sec map on following page). While Mr. Smalls business enabled him to become acquainted with a wide number of Normal graduates, he was not alone in his efforts. With the aid of President R. W. Fairchild and Mrs. Gertrude Hall, encouragement to organize was offered to Normal graduates from Kankakee to St. Clair county. Although it was gratifying to see such a fine response, this, it was decided, was by no means the time to pause. Organization is one matter; growth and continued ac- tivity, another matter, stated President Fairchild in a recent issue of the Alumni Quai eil). Alumni clubs are a very definite part of the universities from which they emanate. The teachers college, the same as the endowed institution, must seek new students for teacher training through its alumni. ' Lf ; to Rifihi — William Small Mrs. K. C. Adolph Thomas Lancaster
