THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Me. Jack McDoweLL Miss Manry BuanerT The exact date of the founding of the University of Delaware Alumni Associntion is not known; however, it has been in existence continuously for several de- cades. While the Association has at various times gone ahead with progressive and determined strides, there have been periods when the advance toward its goal has been slow and retarded. In viewing the alumni associations of other colleges, we find that they have had similar experiences. During the past quarter of a century, in an effort to make con- tinuous progress, many of these associations hawve established alumni offices with full-time execurive secretaries. This act in itself naturally does not assure the success of any alumni association, bur we do find that those which have been most successful employ one or more Hllun l 'Ut. l.:l'l.'kfrs., In April, 1938, as a resule of the generosity and fore- thought of an outstanding alumnus and friend of the University, it became possible for an alumni office o be established at Delaware.

To vou who will soon graduate, and thus automatic- ally become alumni of this College, we wish to say that we hope the mere act of graduating will not sever your relationship wirh the University, but will, instead, strengthen your ties with it. Those of us who have completed our college course some years ago realize that for the next few years you will be busily engaged in making your real start in life. You may not appreciate immediately the benefits whic you have derived from having been privileged ro secure a college education. Some of you may be reminded of the fact that or each day of registration you paid a 1 certain sum in return for which YOU Were permitted to take courses and to secure credits which resulted in your being granred a degree. Afrer a few years have passed and you see yourselves gradually rising above the level of those who have not been privileged to extend their education, the realiza- Continued on page 166
