S. l..ee, '95 The Alumni Association links the College men of yesterday with those of the present. With three of their number on the Board of Trustees as direct representatives, with one on the Faculty, and one the Headmaster of the Academy, the Alumni become an active force in the campus life of today. Through prizes donated from the Alumni treasury support is given to debate, oratory, and scholarship. The annual Alumni meeting and banquet with over one hundred present, was held in June in the Calvin Durand Commons. The menu card bore the legend The McNeill Reunion, and a portrait of Professor lVlcNeill, to whom a loving cup was presented. Probably as the years go on these personal tributes to the good men and true of College days will more and more predominate to strengthen the ties of comradeship. Already plans are being made for the next meeting, which occurs June 20, I9l l. The Odd-Even ball game, a dollar banquet, a decenriial gathering of the Class of '0l. and extra features await the gathering of the class. 19

Q: 1: CHS - 1912 - Foiaesreie zpfffgiegsg The other item of general, rather than personal interest among the Alumni clur- ing the year, is the return to this country on furlough of an unusual number of foreign missionaries whom we count as Lake Foresters. Among these are Mr. and Mrs. Bergen, '80 and '83, Davies, '88, and A. S. Wilson, '92, both of whom are obliged for reasons of health to remain here, Lee, '89, Wright, '92, Mrs. Mabel Gilson Cort, and Mrs. Julia McKee Fuller, '95, ancl C. E.. Rath, '00. We hope there is no connection between the above fact and the appointment of Warren, '93, as chief of police in Lake Forest. M

Secretary-Treasurer The past year has been marked by a number of the liveliest meetings in the history of the Club: the annual dinner last spring was voted by all who were present the jolliest and most fraternal on record, the ante-season football supper at Vogelsa-ng's in October, with Baker, '97, and Ferguson, '96, as special guests, as well as the post-season jollifica- tion in December, with Coach Kennedy and the football team present, were among the largest monthly meetings on record. Again, the March meeting, coincident with the Glee Club concert at the Fullerton Avenue Church, brought out a lot of new-old faces- probably as many as sixty Lake Forest men in the audience. A great deal of the success of the Club has been due to the interest of President Jackson, '96, and the snap and efliciency of Secretary Wharton, '07. A Specimen Notice FOOTBALL SPECIAL !
