7he ecretarif to the College This fall Mr. Robert B. Brown, '11 (father of 2 Kenyon men) moved to Gambier to become the Kenyon College Alumni Secretary. He left his home and business in Chicago to devote his time completely to Kenyon. For as long as the records of the Alumni Association show, the question of establishing an alumni officer on a full time basis at the College has been discussed. The matter culminated at the October, 1941, meeting of the Trustees, when a resolution was adopted creating the office of Secretary of the College. The Trustees prescribed the duties of the Secretary briefly as follows: to compile and keep a comprehensive catalogue of the alumni of the College, to make contact with all alumni, to revive and keep their interest in the College and particularly their interest in giving to the College, to give attention to local alumni asso- ciations and form new ones where needed. Mr. Robert Brown, ’ll, accepted the appointment to the new office in February, 1941, and opened his office on the Hill on May 5. From a practical standpoint, the work of the Secretary of the Col- lege divides itself into two functions: first, as an assistant to the Presi- dent on administrative matters, and second, as Alumni Secretary. In a broad sense the duty of this office is, of course, to act as an interpreter of the College to the alumni and of the alumni to the College and, by so doing, increase and vitalize alumni interests and support. The Alumni Office has been open for seven months. There is still an enormous amount to be done, particularly in connection with the re- organization of local alumni groups. Kenyon has never enjoyed the kind of class reorganization through which most association work at other colleges is carried on. We, therefore, have to depend on local associations. With Mr. Brown we shall undoubtedly have an adequate, smooth- running, alumni organization. His office is being organized to be one of the finest in the small college field.
