Since its founding, in l846, the University of Buffalo has been committed to one basic principle-service to the citizens and future citizens of Buffalo and Western New York. Its aim is primarily to train men and women for careers in the cultural, professional, civic, business and industrial life of this area. The University also conducts special programs and services in co- operation with cultural societies, industries, community organi- zations, health agencies and governmental units of this region. Outstanding examples of such services by the University are the University of Buffalo Round Table which is a weekly radio and television program bringing forth discussions on various local, national and international topics and thus adding to the general flow of the world's knowledge, and the Niagara Frontier - -'5i:5:5:5fEiEE5:5:iEEL. dl.7f.,e.. -M.-: -'-'- : -:-:-:- . . , . , r :...:.

There are more than 18,000 living alumni of the University. Their alumni memberships are in the ten divisionals associations-Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business Admin- istration, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Social Work. An eleventh association, the University Alumnae, includes women graduates of any division. A twelfth association includes graduates with the degree of Analytical Chemist, a degree formerly conferred by the University. There are also twenty-five district alumni clubs, organized in geographical areas outside Buffalo, whose membership embraces alumni of any division resident therein. Central alumni activity at the University began with the founding of the Federated Alumni Associations in 1915. Nine years later, this body became the General Alumni Association with its board of trustees including representatives of the divisional alumni associations. In 1933, the Alumni Council was formed as an added unit made up of alumni members of the University Council. The Alumni Council and the General Alumni Association were merged in 1940 into the General Alumni Board. As now constituted, this single central body administrates alumni affairs and is composed of representatives from the divisional alumni associations, the district alumni clubs, and the alumni members of the University Council. The Alumni Loyalty Fund, established by the alumni in 1943, has directly or indirectly brought alumni gifts to the University which at this date total more than one million dollars. The Alumni Office, established in 1933, operates under the supervision of the General Alumni Board. lts functions are intended to unify alumni activity and to represent the University to the alumni and the alumni interests to the University. Talman W. Van Arsdale, Jr., BA '38, MA '40, is executive director of the Board and head of the Alumni Office. General Alumni Board 1ST ROW: Harold H. Johnson, BS fBus.l, '43, Emily H.
