THE 1919 CROAKER )t Alumni B ecorb The publication of this latest edition of the Alumni Record has filled a long felt want at Iowa Wesleyan. For years, friends of the college have believed that the old record, giving as it did meager and often misleading information concerning the alumni or even in some cases omitting altogether, was inadequate. Hence the publication of this 1917 edition of the Alumni Record was undertaken and is felt to be a timely and valuable work. The present book aims to give the names and residences of all the alumni of the college, and any other information that might be valuable or interesting. In some cases this was found to be impossible, but in every case, everything possible has been done to obtain news of these people. Not only is this an Alumni Record: it is also a history of the College. All fraternities, sororities, literary societies, and organizations of the college have been written up. From the founding of the college in 1842, the pioneer institution west of the Mississippi River, to the present time, the vital points of Iowa Wesleyan’s history have been given. Each president and officer of the school has his place in the book. The Black Hills College whose alumni arc honorary alumni of Wesleyan has also been written up. The work connected with the publication of this book was headed by Ben Mur Wilson and H. N. Jeffrey. These men, with their corps of assistants, probably spent no little time and effort in the preparation of this book. What strategems and maneuvers they employed or how much midnight oil they burned is not written, but we all owe thanks to those who have given time and effort to the publication of the 1917 Alumni Record.
