This year will have in its history a record of the greatest single achievement of the association since its founding — the active organization and solicitation for the University Union group of buildings. Always the Association has worked for Texas students. Eight hundred worthy students have been aided through a revolving loan fund maintained by the Ex-students; scores have been helped by the maintenance of an Ex-student card catalog containing approximately thirty-five thousand names, and student interests of the present and future have been upheld by officials of the Association in all their contacts. But this year, under the leadership of General T. W. Gregory of Houston, Chairman of the Union campaign committees, and W. L. McGill of the campus, vice- chairman of the committee, the Ex-Students ' Association has conducted in the Union drive the supreme effort of its present record. A fund of five hundred thousand dollars to be raised by the Association will be matched by six hundred thousand dollars from the Board of Regents for the building of a gymnasium-auditorium, a woman ' s activities and gymnasium building, and a central student union club house. In its routine labor, the Association now has local or- ganizations in 150 towns and cities of Texas and the nation where banquets are held each March Second for maintain- ing Ex-student in the University ' s welfare. The Alcalde, one of the outstanding alumni magazines of the nation, is published, carrying discussions of University affairs and general articles of interest to Ex-students. Offices of the Association are maintained at 2300 San Antonio Street; however the headquarters will be moved to the Union Building when it is completed. Officers for the year have been Hon. T. W. Gregory, former United States Attorney General, president; Mrs. Dan Moody, first vice-president; Mrs. Fannie P. Davis, Waco, second vice-president; R. L. Bobbitt, Laredo, third vice-president; C. M. Bartholomew, Austin, treasurer; John A. McCurdy, executive secretary; William B. Ruggles, Dallas, editor of the Alcalde; Harry E. Moore, Austin, managing editor of the Alcalde. Hon. T. W.

Cunningham Gray Painter Battle Harper Barker Campbell Graduate School For many years the graduate work in the University was supervised by the Graduate course committee which was organized from the general faculty. The degrees of Master of Science and Master of Arts were the only higher degrees offered. In June, 1910, the Board of Regents created the Graduate School to be administered by the general faculty acting through a committee known as the Graduate Council, of which the Dean of the Graduate School was ex-officio Chairman. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy was added to the list of higher degrees conferred by the Uni- versity after the organization of the Graduate School. Three years ago the Legislature, responding to a request of the Board of Regents, appropriated a special sum of money for the organization of a separate graduate faculty. This faculty met in its first formal session on November 12, 1925, after its complete organization in the summer of 1925. Now supervision of all graduate work of the University is under the jurisdicition of this faculty. A new era in the development of the graduate work of the University has thus been in- augurated with every promise of rapid and solid expansion. For the purpose of encouraging higher scholarships and research, the sum of $4,000 for each year of the biennium of 1927-1929 was ap- propriated by the Board of Regents to be used for fellowships and scholarships under the jurisdiction of the Graduate Faculty. In addition to these the following fellowships have been founded by private citizens of the state. The Malcolm Hiram Reed, Jr., Fellowship, with an annual stipend of $1,000, established in the memory of their son by Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Reed of Austin; the Louis Lip- sitz Fellowship, with a stipend of $1,000 for each of the scholastic years 1927-1928 given by the late Mr. Louis Lipsitz, President of the Harris-Lipsitz Company of Dallas; and the Texas Portland Cement Company Fellowship with a stipend of $600 for the scholastic years 1926-1927 and 1927- 1928. The Advisory Board of the Graduate School for 1927-1928 consists of the following members: Professors Harper, Barker, Battle, Campbell, Gray, Painter, and Splawn Dean Harper W LfO ini m dr.
