STUDENT GOVERNING ASSOCIATION Bf M M O TUDENT government has become firmly established O in the ideals of college students all over the United States. Only a few years ago it was considered an experi- ment which might or might not last. JIM BONFIBLD, Pnsidtnt Upon payment of the five-dollar activity fee at the be- nning of each semester, every student becomes a member of the association and is entitled to a vote in that body, fficers of the Student Council are elected at the first meeting of the Council following the annual election in April of each school year. The fact that President Farrcll and members of the Faculty Council on Student Affairs have voiced their approval of the business-like methods used by the Council and the fact that the Council has the confidence and good will of the student body as a whole, has made student government a permanent institution at Kansas State. The 1930- ' 31 Student Council, executive committee of the Student Governing Association, is composed of James Bonfield, Frank Condell, Juanita Walker, W. G. Nicholson, James Yeager, Sam Alsop and A.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION THE earliest known concerted action of K. S. A. C. alumni occurred in 1874. At that time they presented a gift to Ex-President Joseph Denison, under whose administration they all had been graduated. To the class of ' 79 goes the credit for the first permanent organization. This organization planned a reunion with an alumni address and banquet for commencement, 1881. These alumni reunions at commencement time were continued each year until 1884, when, because of an annual deficit on the banquet, it was voted to hold the reunions every three years. Triennial reunions and addresses prevailed until 1908, when the alumni association was of such strength that it was felt the annual reunions and banquets could be resumed. By 1908, well organized local alumni clubs or associations were functioning in Washington, D. C., Kansas City, and Chicago. The K. S. A. C. Alumni Association received its charter from the state of Kansas November 27, 1917. The association was reorganized as a non-profit, educational corporation for the follow- ing purposes: To assist the Kansas State Agricultural College in carrying on and extending its educational work; to aid worthy students in obtaining an education at the college; and to promote acquaintance among the graduates of the college. The association now has about 2,000 members, and a loan fund for K. S. A. C. students of more than $30,000. Hundreds of students come to K. S. A. C. because of confidence in our alumni. KENNEY L.
