Medical, and Pharmacy Alumni Associations! Alumni Council is the governing body of the Association and is composed of officers of the General Alumni Association, three representatives from each constituent association, two past presidents and two representatives of Pitt clubs. R. L. DIKUKKR. Secretary Because of the war, most of the activities of the General Alumni Association were curtailed this year. Since it was difficult to meet in person, it was made possible for alumni to convey their thoughts through printed words. Copies of “The Alumni Review , edited by Ruth lx e Dierker. who assembled news of activities of the University, were sent to various schools and to members iu civil and military life. Instead of the annual Homecoming Smoker, this year a Homecoming Rally and Luncheon was held in November at the Hotel Sehenley. Then in December, the Second Annual Children’s Christmas party was given in the Commons Room. The idea originated with the party given to entertain children of the faculty and alumni in the service. Other events of the year included a Dinner Bridge and a Charter Day Program. [18]
