Organizations of Mount Union Alumni . 1 HE PAST two years have witnessed a remarkable uprising ' of the Mount Union alumni on behalf of their Alma L Mater. For the first time in her history the College has one of her- own sons at the helm. The first work that President McMaster did. for the College was the organization of the alumni and old students in and about New York into a permanent or- ganization. This organization maintains lan active interest in the, College and has on its list over 125 persons. Drl George M. Fowles, '05,. is president. 1 ' Cleveland has maintained an organization for nineteen years and until within. the last two years was the only organization of Mount Uni-on alumni aside from the General Alumni As- sociation. An account of their last banquet, held on March 17, was given in a recent issue of the Dynamo. Prof. H. H. Cully, '87, is president. ' -The next place for organization was Pittsburg. They or- ganized and held their lirst reunion and dinner at Fort Pitt .Hotel in- February. Including the suburbs of Pittsburg a list Wasconstructed containing 225 names. Mr. R. H. Carr, then in Pittsburg, did good service in constructing this list. The next annual. banquet was held at the Fort Pitt Hotel on the date of the Mount's foot-ball battle with the University of Pittsburg. The team was present and a most enthusiastic night was spent. Mr. A. 0. Fording, '83, is president. Uniontown alumni, while considering themselves a part of the Pittsburg constituency, have formed a separate organization and have had one or t-wo. meetings. The Hon. A. F. Cooper, A. Hopwood-, and'Dr. L. M.'Sprowl constitute the committee on arrangements for the 1911 meeting. Dr. jacob Hackney is pres- ident. h The Canton alumni organized in May 1909 and held their first annual dinner at Hotel McKinley. The second meeting was held at the First Methodist Church.

by Mr. R. H. Carr and Miss Elsie Roberts. Judge W. W. Hole presided at the banquet given at the Hostetter Hotel. The Com- pletion of the organization was left until this year. The Mahoning Valley Association was organized in the spring of l9l0g Mrs. Mary Carr Curtis doing very efficient ser- vice in starting the organization. A large banquet was held in the Y. M. C. A. Building in Youngstown. Mr. A. D. Thomas was elected president. The Chicago alumni organized in May, 1909, and had a re- union and dinner at the Grand Pacific Hotel. Mrs. Chas. E. Buttolph, '81, rallied the Chicago members. Mr. L. B. Reed, '78, is president. Along with the organization of the alumni should be men- tioned the organization of the Mount Union College Woman's Association, of which Mrs. Mary Carr Curtis is president. This general organization is organizing clubs in diiferent alumni cen- ters and at present has clubs in Alliance, Cleveland, and Pitts- burg, Miss Mabel Hartzell is president of the Alliance club. The Alumni look with warm interest toward the College. They are a part of the great Mount Union family and their or- ganization and practical suggestions and helpfulness augur well for Mount Union's future. The New England Alumni Association was organized on the evening of May ninth at the Commonwealth Hotel, Boston, where the alum-ni and old students in and around Boston as- sem'bled for a reunion. Messrs. N. A. Lineweaver, L. D. Spaugy, W. F. Kinsey, and H. D. Crumley constituted the committee on arrangements. After Boston the next logical point for organization ofiold Mount Union students is at Detroit, and already President Mc- Master has received a communication from Mr. Louis M. Mc- Knight stating that several of the Mount Union students had consluted together with the idea of planning a permanent or- ganization. In Detroit are such stalwart alumni as Prof. F. Roller, Rev. VV alter R. Fruit, Mr. Benj. D. Edwards, and many others who still retain a warm interest in the old school. page fourteen
