As compared with the alumni organizations of the early colleges, this is no doubt true. In a college, where all the students are engaged in practically the same lines of study and go through the four years' work together, the result after graduation is an alumni association made up of former students who have had much the same experiences and have much in common. On the other hand, a university is made up of several groups of students, each group pursuing a line of study entirely different from and not associated with the work of any other group. At the University of Chicago the natural result has been the organization of four different alumni associations: The Law Association, the Divinity Alumni Association, the Association of Doctors of Philosophy, and the College Alumni Association. As Presi- dent Judson once expressed it in a greeting to the alumni of the University: A university is not like a consolidated state in which there is entire unity: it is rather a federation. Each group in the federation has its own affairs distinct from others. At the same time there are common alfairs, common interests, common ideals and principles, which belong to all, in which all have a common interest and in which all should co-operate. The Alumni Magazine, representing, therefore, the University as a whole, gives expression to each of the various groups of alumni and should tend to unite them as a common body for the common purposes of all. It is the organ of the united federal University. In order that they might work together to the best advantage for those things in which all were interested, the four associations organized in 1909 the Alumni Council, which is made up of delegates from all of the associations. Under the jurisdiction of the Council are the maintenance and conduct of the alumni office, the keeping of alumni records fincluding addresses and all information for the alumni directoryb, the organization of alumni clubs, the promotion of class organizations, the custody of general alumni funds, and publication of the Alumni Magazine. The Council for 1916-1917 is composed of the following members: Chairman, Scott Brown, Secretary-Treasurer, John Fryer Moulds, Assistant Secre- tary, Lawrence J. MacGregor.

Prosser, '16, HE College Association, although in theory it is on a level with the other associa- tions listed below, is actually the dominating force in alumni affairs on account of the fact that there are so many more graduates of the College Department than there are of other departments of the University. lt sends representatives to the Alumni Council on the basis of the number of living graduates in the College Depart- ment, thus having fourteen delegates to that body where the other associations have only three each. Its members are active in all phases of alumni work, taking leading parts in the Chicago Alumni and Alumnae Clubs and being moving spirits in the organization of alumni affairs all over the country. It will be noticed that the president of this asso- ciation is also chairman of the Alumni Council, an arrangement which has been followed for some years in order eEectively to insure co-operation between this large group and alumni of all groups in general. The Association of Doctors of Philosophy SAMUEL MACCLTNTOCK, '96 . . . President HERBERT E. SLAUGHT, '98 ....... Secretary The members of this Association are those who have received doctors' degrees from the University. They have an annual meeting and address at the time of convocation in June, and the Secretary sends a letter to every member during the year telling of the work of the other members of the Association and sending news of interest to them. Divinity Alumni Association JOHN L. JACKSON, '76 . . President WALTER P. RUNYAN, '07 ....... Secretary This association is made up of graduates of the Divinity School. It holds its annual meeting at the time of the June Convocation and is usually addressed at that time by one of its members or by some eminent speaker. Membership in any of these associations, unless otherwise noted, carries with it subscription to The University of Chicago Magazine. Law School Association WILLIAM P. MCCRACKEN, '12 . . . President R. E. SCHREIBER, '06 ........ Secretary This association is composed of graduates and former students of the Law School. Through its secretary its members are kept informed of activities of the other members, chiefly through a section in the Alumni Magazine devoted to their interests. They have occasional meetings and hold their annual meeting and election of officers in June. Mem- bership in this association, including subscription to the Magazine, is 552.00 a year, 50 cents more than the dues for the three other associations. The Law Association also publishes a directory of its members. lilllIlllIlllllKHlIllillPIllIllIllIllIllI1llllllllllllIllllllllllI1lIIllllillllllllllllIlllIllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIlVIIlIIllllllilIllUIlllllIIlllllIllllllltlIlllllIIlIllN1llllIlllIllilllllllI!lIllllllilllllllillllllllllllllllllll 1 UU W lllItlllllllllllllllIllH4lllllllllllilllIllKIlilllIllIlllllilllIlllIllillllllilllVIlllllllllllillilllIllIllIlllI1lllllIllilllllllllllllKIlillIllll!lllllllIlllIllllllIlUllllllilllIllIIlIIllllilllIlillllllIlllllilllllllIlllllllllIlllllllllllilllllllllllll lIlHillllIllIIlllllIIlVlllll!lIllllllIllItlIllIllIllPIlIIlilllIllHIlilllIllKI1lIllIllllllIIlIllllllIllIllilllIillllllllllllllllllllll IlIlllllPIUlillllllllIllIllil!lVlllI4lilllI1lIIllIllIllIlllllIllIlllIlllllllililllilllIllll!lllllllilllllllllllllllll lllllltlllllllllll IIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llIIllltllIllIlilItllllllllIlllllll!llilIIlllllIlllllIIlllllilllIllilllIIllllllllIlllllIllillIlilIllIllllllilllllllllllllIIlllllI4lIIlllllllllllllllllllllIllllllIllIllIIllI1lIllllllllllllllllllllllllll Page 21
