The student, who, by the time he has reached his senior year has learned to think objectively and analytically, who is tolerant of other's view-points and cautious about jumping at conclusions, has acquired an asset and a balance that will be invaluable to him forever after. Some acquire it in greater degree than others, hut no one who is intelligent can live, work and play with his friends in the University without profiting by the maturing influences of the University environment. Life will require the best you have at all times, but for the able it will be filled with so much of interest that it can never be monotonous. You will soon be depending upon yourself instead of the faculty for guidance. Your mistakes will be costly. But character, education and balance will reduce errors of judgment to a minimum, and make continuous growth and development inevitable. V'incbnt Wesley Lanfbar Dean of Men Hail and farewell! I like to say that to seniors. It says so simply, We praise you, we prize you, go on enjoying, go on lengthening your life. I like especially the challenge to extend life. I think it was Martial who said centuries ago, The excellent man prolongs his life; to be able to enjoy one's past life is to live twice. Just as the memory of the joys and pleasures of college days prolongs that life, so may the graduate days to come lengthen that life through their enduring satisfactions. So hail and farewell, seniors! 23 Tiiyrsa Wealth low Amos Dean of Women

Alumni Association John W. Halloci: , Stentary The General Alumni Association is an organization of more than twenty thousand graduates of the various schools of the University. Practically all colleges and universities maintain active alumni associations. It is the hope of our organization that we can provide a significant service, not only to graduates and former students of the University, hut also to undergraduates. In order to accomplish this we arc anxious to carry in our alumni publications and to emphasize in our program of activities timely information about current student affairs. As stated in its constitution, its object is to promote the welfare and interests of the University of Pittsburgh and its alumni, to foster close cooperation between alumni and the University, and to support and advance the cause of higher education ' The Association docs more than that—it provides opportunity for helpful fellowship; it promotes the friendships and associations of student days; as an organization, it safeguards the interests of the University, its faculty, students, and alumni. It is a great, constructive, civic force and every eligible individual should align himself immediately upon graduation. Members of the General Alumni Association automatically become members of the constituent alumni association representing the school from which they were graduated. There arc ten such constituent associations,—College, Engineering and Mines, Business Administration, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Pharmacy, Downtown Division, Education and Graduate Schools, and Alumnae. The General Alumni Association holds only two stated meetings a year. Constituent school associations meet frequently and promote the distinctly professional relationships. The governing body of the General Alumni Association is Alumni Council. This consists of three elected delegates from each of ten constituent associations, elected delegates from qualified Pitt Clubs outside of Allegheny County, and the Don F. Saundbu, Editor The Record and Tbt Alumni Review elected officers of the General Alumni Association. Alumni Council divides itself into the following committees: Executive, Finance, Program, Publications, Alumni Headquarters, Membership, Relations with Constituent Associations and Clubs, Relation with Undergraduates, New Students, Aims and Objects, and Publicity. In populous centers Pitt Clubs arc chartered by Alumni Council to hold regular meetings and to foster and perpetuate an interest in University affairs. The oldest of these Clubs was formed in 1914. Clubs arc now active or arc in the process of organization in Westmoreland County, Erie, Harrisburg, Conncllsvillc, Lehigh Valiev, Lackawanna County, Philadelphia, Newark, N. J., New York City, Youngstown, Ohio, Chicago, Illinois, and Southern California. The General Alumni Association has two official publications,—The Pittsburgh Record and the Alumni Review. The Record is published four times a year and the Review seven times a year. Both publications arc sent to members in good standing. The Placement Bureau is operated by the secretary's office, to assist in putting alumni in touch with prospective employers. A very effective work nas thus far been done in this connection. Dues in the General Alumni Association arc $3-00 a year, payable July first. These dues include a year's subscription to the Pittsburgh Record and the Alumni Review; membership in one constituent school association (and to a Pitt Club if the alumnus lives in a Club territory), and all the general and special services mentioned. Above all, the payment of the annual dues aligns the alumnus with the organization which keeps him a member of the University body as long as he remains in good standing. For further information regarding the General Alumni Association or its activities, address the secretary, 1301 Cathedral of Learning. 25
