The Alumni Association. HE first organization of tlie Alumni o£ tlie Academic Department of Tulane was effected in the year eighteen liundred and eighty- nine. Tile leader in the movement was Mr. Charles G. Gill, w.i»o served as the first President of the Association and was twice re-elected to the executive office, but declined to serve a third term. The second President was Mr. W. C. McLeod, who was succeeded hy Professor John W. Pearce. Professor Pearce served four terms, and upon his declining a fifth elec- tion, Dr. Sidney P. Delaup became President. Shortly after his election. Dr. Delaup went to EuroiDe to make some special studies under seme of the great masters in his profession, and Mt. J. H. Rapp, the Vice-President, served Dr. Delaup ' s unexpired term. The following year Mr. RaDP was elected President, and at the end of his term was succeeded by Mr. .John Dymond, Jr. During Mr. Dymond ' s adminTstration an organization of an association to include all graduates of all departments of Tulane University was effected, and on January 20, 189S. the Alumni Association of Tulane Uni- versity of Louisiana was incorporated under the laws of Louisiana, the char- ter members being for the most part those who had been most active in the work of the Alumni of the Academic Department. The question of the form- ing of such a general organization had engaged the attention of the Academic Alumni for several years, but had been opposed by many of the members of their association, as it was feared that a compact body could not be formed, and such an effort would result only in a large, unwieldy association, without identity of interest among its memoers, and without the enthusiasm that distinguished the . mailer body. Since 1898 the Tulane College Alumni Association has maintained its separate organization, although nearly all its members are also members of the general asso- ciation. The Presidents of the College Alumni since Mr. Dymond have been Messrs. Edward Rightor, Richard Peebe, and J. J. Sarrazin, in the order named. Mr. Dymond served as President of the University Alumni Association from its foundation until January, 1902, when Mr. Johnson Armstrong was elected President. The general association now has a membership of more than twelve hundred, representing every department at Tulane University and of the Universities of Louisiana. Such a body as this should become a most powerful force, working to build up and strengthen the institution that stands to its members as a mother from whom they have taken intellectual life, and (by whom that life has been tended, guarded, and developed. 19
