MANY Counselor to Women, Newcomb College campus, taking part in the operetta, Utopia Limited, and presenting several concerts. The Band, under the direction of Mr. John J. Mor- rissey, pleased the students both in their drill formations and in their swinging. Mr. Morrissey also formed a concert band which includes both students and faculty members. The Alumni maintained a close relationship to the University during the year, some of the Texas Alumni being contacted by President Harris on a trip which he took last spring. They gathered from far and near to celebrate the 1938 Homecoming. Highlight of the occasion was a gigantic dinner held in the gymnasium, at which President Rufus C. Harris was the principal speaker and at which were nearly 1,500 Alumni. Homecoming was ended successfully the next day by a decisive victory on the gridiron. The spring celebration of Founders ' Day was the first to be held in twelve years, the last being held in 1927. The day was observed in honor of the founders and all benefactors to the University, including New- comb College. The Alumni, who have made many generous contribu- tions to the I Iniversity, also were honored on this occasion. Not to be forgotten is the enthusiastic school spirit which was born on the campus this year. Several bonfires and parades did much to in- crease the cheering section at the various athletic events. Undoubtedly this fine moral support — from President Harris on down — helped spur our teams to victory.
