THE NEW V()I K CHAPTER Hi . New York chapter is probably the mus: active chapter of the Purdue Alumni Associa- tion. It was organized in June, 1905, through the efforts of P. F. Fansler, ' 01, who had previ- ously done much in St. Louis toward estab- shing a chapter there. After several attempts to get the New York men. whose names were known, i g :th r. a preliminary mesting was held at the Park Avenue Hotel, at which thirteen men were present. More men were soon located. however, and thirty-five were present at the first regular meet- ing. Officers ' were eleeted. and the chapter was launched en what has since proven to be a very successful career. It is interesting £p know that this chapter has so far existed without any initiation fee or dues, it being the custom to send out announcements of each mee ting, and levy assessments suf- ficient to meet the current expenses upon those who attend. An attractive booklet was recently published giving the names, addresses and other information concerning each member of the chapter. The booklet contained eighty names, and at pres- ent there are about one hundred nanus on the roll. The New York chapter took a prominent part in revising the Alumni Register, sending in the present address and occupation of several hundred men who were reported not heard from in the last register. The officers are sparing no efforts in their attempts to pro- mote the interest and good fellowship of the Xew York men individually and of the Alumni as a whole. A banquet is held each year, which is always a large and enthusiastic gathering The present officers of the chapter are: Percival F. Fansler, ' 01, President. L. Murray Grant, ' 04, Secretary-Treasurer.
