Subject of Thesis—“The Design of a Power Plant.” “Hapov” is the man that findeth wis¬ dom and the man that getteth under¬ standing.

Alumni Association Officers MRS. H. J. Y. MOSS H. G. FIELDS H. HOWARD Since the organization of the Alumni Association of the Louisiana Industrial Institute, in 1899 many changes have taken place in the school. It has taken its place with other institutions for higher education in the State and South. The Alumni Association has grown with the school, being reinforced year by year with new life and new spirit of each succeeding graduating class. The Association is composed of two hundred and fifty- one men and women, who represent the citizenship of our land, and who aid in the direction of its affairs. It now stands as a representative of a school which has come to be recognized as a power in the educational world, a school where the hand and heart is trained, as .... President Vice-President Secretarv-T reasurer well as the mind. During the past few years the indus¬ trial work of our school has been strengthened, and now there is a great demand for teachers who are graduates of this school. A scholarship of $100.00 is being given each year to a former student who would otherwise be unable to attend. This year it was given to Miss Clyde Mobley, who graduated recently and is now a very successful teacher of domestic science in one of the State high schools. This scholarship will be continued each year, the funds being obtained from the dues of the member¬ ship of $1.50 per annum.
