President CHARLES F. AXELSON, '07 . . Vice-President LAWRENCE Wuirmc, '13 . . Secretary-Treasurer l-IE Chicago Alumni Club is an outstanding example of what the Clubs Committee of the Alumni Council hopes to do in other cities. For more than Hfteen years a so-called Club gave a football dinner every Fall to Coach Stagg and the team, then becoming dormant until the next Fall and the next dinner. In April, 1915, a busi- ness meeting was held, which resulted in the present form of organization, and at present the Club has a membership of over 200 with very definitely outlined activities. The Foot- ball Dinner in the Fall has been continued, special appeals being made to undergraduates to attend the affair, and the increased interest of Chicago men has been evident from the fact that at the dinner held on November 15th there were over 300 present. The dues are now 55.00, and Alumni Association receiving 31.50, the loan fund getting another 51.50, and the Club using the rest for current expenses. Dan W. Ferguson, '09, is chairman of the membership committee and it is to his enthusiasm and hard work that the Club owes much of its success. ' The Club is at present maintaining a scholarship and loan fund, subscriptions to which were made by members, and the money is available for the use of undergraduates whose applications are endorsed by the committee in charge. The fund at present amounts to 31,800 Other evidences of the Club's continued activity are the starting of a portrait fund by means of which a portrait of Coach Stagg will be presented to the University, and a lecture on January 20th by Lieutenant-Colonel George D. Davis, '01, Rush '04, who spent a year with the British Expeditionary force in France. The large attendance at these affairs and the co-operation of members of the Club in wider alumni activities have shown that the men in Chicago are taking the Club seriously. The foregoing accounts do not express with any degree of completeness the present scope of alumni work. They are merely intended to illustrate the form of oragnization by which work among graduates of the University is carried on. In general, it will be seen that there are three main organizations: first, the Council or the body which unifies all alumni affairs of whatever nature, second, the associations for graduates of particular departments of the University who may, however, be active on the Council or in local clubsg third, the local clubs composed of alumni and alumnae together or separately as circum- stances may dictate. Ot' these the two Chicago clubs are examples of what it is hoped will eventually take place in larger cities or in districts where there are large numbers of Chicago graduates. The whole organization is in its infancy, and no one can say what the changes will be in the next few years. It is not too much to prophesy, however, that with the start we now have Chicago alumni will soon be making their influence felt in University affairs generally. llllltllIllllllIlltlllilllllllllI1lI11llllllllllllIllillltlllI1llllII1lI4llllllllI1illllllIIlII1illilllilllllllllllllIllllllIlllllilllI1llllllllllillllllIllillllllllllIIllllllllll1llllI1llllIllilllllll!lllllIllllllllllIllIlllllilllIlllllllllllllllllllllll :U 9 Tl 7 lIllll1IIlilllllllllllllllllIIlilllKIllllllllIllI1lIllIIlilllIllFIllIIlilllillilllillllllllllllllllIllIIlIlllIIlllllIllilllllllIllIllllllI1lIIlIllilllIllIllll1II11IllllllllllIIlllllI4lIllIllIllIllllllllllllIllilllIlllllllllllllIllI1llllllllllllllllilllllli IlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlltllllllllllillilllII1llI1llillllllllllllilltillllllllllltllllIllillllllllllillllllIlllllllllllllllllllllIllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllll lllI1IlllIllIIlllltllllllllIllill1IllIIl!I1KIllllllllIllII1lIlllllllllllllllllIIilllilllllllllilliliiltilllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIllIlllllillll!lllltllllllII11illilllillillllllllllIlllllIlllllIllIlllllllllllllII4IllIlllIIlII1lllllllllllllllllllllllllll Page 23

What form that organization will take no one at present can say. The natural arrangement would be one similar to that of the other professional schools, with a separate organization in itself and delegates to the General Alumni Council. The details of the combination can be worked out only after it is known what the arrange- ments will be with the alumni of Rush Medical College, but it is certain that in whatever form it may be, it will bring a welcome addition to the present alumni body. Chicago Alumnae Club MRS. M. A. HIRSCHL, ,IO ....... President MRS. HAZEI. Horr KEEFER, '12 . . . Treasurer ISABEL JARVIS, '12 ......... Secretary N ITS relation to general alumni affairs, the Chicago Alumnae Club is the same form of organization as might be effected in New York, Kansas City, Tulsa, Oklahoma, or any- where else where there are enough women graduates of the University to form a sep- arate body. Its members are largely members of the College Association, although it is open to members of the other three associations who may live in Chicago, and it sends delegates to the Alumni Council because it is a strong and influential body in alumni affairs. To dispose of the Chicago Alumnae Club so shortly, however, would not be doing it justice, because it is without doubt one of the two or three most active local clubs organ- ized by graduates of the University. A resume of its organization and activities was published in The University of Chicago Magazine for February, 1917, an explanation being given of each of its varied forms of activity. The Club was organized in 1898, and from that time up to the present has steadily grown, until now it has a paid-up membership of 250 and a mailing list of 350. Recently the Club has reorganized to a certain extent in order that all of its members may pay their general association dues to the treasurer of the Club at the same time the Club dues are charged and so at one time join both the club and association. Such an arrangement has obvious advantages, and it is hoped that in time the confusion between local clubs and general associations will be cleared away. The Alumnae Club has a number of varied activities, the one best known to under- graduates probably being the club Renting Library, with its quarters in Harper Memorial Library. Since 1908 the Club has undertaken a fellowship to the University Settlement children's clubs and a student in the University. Another work supported by the Club is that done by the Chicago Collegiate Bureau of Occupation, which is in part financed by the alumnae organizations of various colleges. The Club has two delegates to the governing board, and in the past year was well up in the list of contributors to the Bureauls Fund. On the social side the Club regularly holds four meetings a year-one in October at the University, one during the Christmas holidays at which the members of the Club who have been out of town during the Fall gather, a tea given in January by the President and Mrs. Judson, and the annual meeting of the Club for the transaction of business. At present the Alumnae Club acts as a committee in charge of the annual June break- fast to all women 'who return for the reunion at the end of the Spring Quarter. On February 24th of this year the Club held a special reception in lda Noyes Hall for the Chicago alumnae associations of nineteen colleges and universities. From time to time it directs various entertainments, notable among them having been the Spring Revels in 1913 at the Whitney Opera House. Its members were influential in the movement which culminated in the building of Ida Noyes Hall, and at present the Club offers a wide and useful field of activity for all women graduates of the University in and about Chicago. willllIllllllilllilllillllllilllllllIIllIllIIlllllIllIllilllIIllIllilllIllllllIllIllIllilllIllIIllllllllIIlIlllllllIIlilllllllIllIlllllllllIflIIlIIllllllllIIllIllllllIllIIlilllllllllIIlIIlIIlIIlllllllllllIIlllllIIlllllIllIllIIllllilllllllllllllllllllllllll '77 Q 11 llllIIlIIlIIlilllIllIllillllllIllIlllllIllIlllllIllIllIlllllIllIlllllllllIllllllIlllllIllllllllIllllKIlilllllilllllllllIIlillilllIllIlllllIllllllllllllllllilllllilllllllllllllllllllllllilllillIIlIllIllIllllllllltllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllIllilllllillllllllllIIlllllIllIIlilllIlllllllllIIlIllllllllllIIlIlllIllIlllIllIllIIlIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllIllIllIllIIlllllIllIIlllllIllIIlllllIIlllllIIlilllIIlIIlilllllllllllllllllllllIIlIlllIIlilllIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllll iii Q lllillIllllllIlllllllllIllIllIllIllIIlillIIlillIllIIlIllIllIIlillllllIIlllllllllllIllIllIllIllllilllllIIllllllllIllllllllillIlllllllllI4lllllllllIllIllIIlIIlllllIIlIllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllIlilllllllllIIlIIlllillIIIllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllll Page 22

The principal change in the staff was the appointment of Lawrence Mac- Gregor, '16, as Advertising Manager. MacGregor has served, however, as much more than advertising manager, having been at times everything from devil to editor. The h. c. of paper has been a distinguishing feature of the year, but even so the magazine has maintained its size. Two new matters of interest have been a gal- lery of well-known alumni, and On the Quadrangles, an account of undergraduate affairs written by F. R. Kuh, '16. The subscription list has increased, in part as the result of a campaign by eight sec- tional teams in different parts of the country in contest, the winning team was captained by Winston Henry, '10, of Oklahoma, whose group sent in subscriptions for every alumnus on their campaign list who could be found. The support given by the Business Committee of fifteen has also been invaluable. The cover design, which has stood for several years, was changed with the March issue, and now stands as a sketch of Hull Gateway, by George Lyman, '16, a former editor of the Cap and Gown. As for the previous year, the editor is James Weber Linn, '97, and the business manager john Fryer Moulds, '07, All members of the class of 1917 are expected to subscribe for the magazine before being allowed to take their diplomas.
