' 95 Corrcspnndinfi Secretary Mrs. Frank Merriam, ' 92 Treasurer HE Ahiinnaf Association of Sliorttr College entered its thirty- eighth year in the fall of 1913. Great plans have been made and real accoinijlishments are in tlie minds of enthnsiastic Alumnae. Shorter Commencement of 1913 was a brilliant one. A part of each day was given to the Alumnae and many delightful reunions were enjoyed. Among the visiting Alumnae were: Mrs. Katharine Hopkins Chap- man, ' 87, of Selma, Ala.; Mrs. Sam Gentry, ' 92, of Gadsden, Ala.; Mrs. Charles Davidson and Mrs. Henry Weatherbv. of Anniston, Ala., by whom was launc hed a movement to raise funds by contributions for a memorial to be placed over the grave of our former beloved president. Dr. L. R. Gwaltney; Mrs. J. C. Harris, ' 84, is chairman of the committee to collect this fund. About one hundred and twenty-five guests, including Alumnae, the gradua- ting class and the Faculty of Shorter, attended the annual Alumnae banquet held in the college dining-room May the twenty-seventh, 1913. Talks were made by several Alumnae and by Dr. Y n Hoose, who told us enthusiastically of the progress of Greater Shorter. A vision of Shorter ' s greatness lives in the mind of every one of her daugh- ter.s. At present plans to bring non-resident Alumnae more closely in touch with their Alma Mater are being made, and we hope soon to form branch associations in many of our leading cities. The plans are made for a building tlint will contain halls for the two so- cieties, Polymnian and Eunomian and a central portion for former students. By the efforts of the student-body, the Faculty and the Alumnae, the amount subscribed has already exceeded three thousand dollars. WTiat will the Alumnae do to complete this fund? Now. the Alma Mater needs her daughters help as she has never needed it before ! 23
