ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The lines were long and continuous inside the tent where the food was served in smorgasbord style. The General Alumni Association of the University of Pittsburgh is the organization which represents all alumni of the University. It is comprised of eleven constituent associations representing each school of the University and the Alumni. The governing body is the Alumni Council. Each person who receives a degree is automatically considered a member and enjoys voting privileges. The members of the association elect a total of ten members of the Board of Trustees and the Council elects two members to the Athletic Policy Committee. The general purpose of the association is to represent the alumni of the University and to interpret the University to the alumni. Activities include a Fall Homecoming Celebration, a Children’s Christmas Party and the Spring Homecoming and Reunion Celebration including the World-Famous Smorgasbord. In addition, the association publishes the Alumni Xeir Renew which is mailed five times per year without charge to every alumnus whose address is on file. The association also operates an Annual Alumni Giving Fund, the pur|»ose of which is to promote the progress of the University of Pittsburgh by securing annual contributions from the University’s alumni for the development and support of better and broader educational services for the students, alumni, and community in general The names of contributors are published in the current issue of the Alumni Xews Review by school and class and are again shown in the annual report—The Blue Book of Pitt Alumni.
