(31p Alumni Aasuriattmt HE Alumni Association of the Louisiana Industrial In¬ stitute was organized in the summer of 1899 and now has one hundred and forty members. They are scat¬ tered all over the State and in other States, and are to be found in nearly every profession. We have among our number, doctors, lawyers, business men and women, farmers, teachers, and dignified young matrons. It is good to be able to say that of all this number, there has been no one who has brought disgrace on himself and his Alma Mater; on the contrary, they have added very materially to the reputation of the institution thru their useful, and therefore successful, lives, for every graduate who leaves this institution should carry with him as its keynote the ambition to be useful. Tho the graduates are so widely scattered, every commencement sees a goodly number back to attend the festivities and the annual business meeting and reunion. That the Alumni is not lacking in interest in the school is shown by the fact that they give a medal every year for scholarship. Every pupil in school is allowed to try for this medal. At the next business meeting in May, ’08, the association hopes to arrange to offer a scholarship for the next session to some deserving boy or girl of Louisiana. Page 17
