Alumni The University of Nebraska Alumni Asso- ciation is completing its seventy-fourth year of existence to foster a spirit of loyalty and friendship among former students and, in an organized, co-operative effort, to do anything which will add to the development, achieve- ment, and honor of Nebraska. Each year at Commencement time, the alumni RoundUp is held. Former students who have done nuich for Nebraska are hon- ored with Distinguished Service Awards. Each February, the thirty-six charter Uni- versity of Nebraska alumni clubs across the nation gather to observe the university ' s birthday. The organization is the tie of former stu- dents with their university. The Nebraska Alumnus published monthly except July and August, the football tabloid, and other association publications bring news of the university and old friends to the alumni. The Association is responsible for main- taining records on the more than 70.000 for- mer Nebraska students. On cards like these on the right, the story is told Ijv classes, alpha- betically, and geographically. Fritz Daly. ' 29. Alumni association secretary and editor of the Alumnus.
