H -0 = 0- ®I|f Alumni Aaaortatinn. Formed March 26, 1895. Article I, Section 1, Constitution: The object of this Association shall be the promotion of University interests and the affiliation of its graduates. Officers of the Association for 1909-10 are: President- Mrs. Harol D. Coburn, ' 00 First Vice President Herbert L. Kennedy, 08 Second Vice President. ...Dorothy Reed Patterson, ' 04 Secretary Mrs. R. B. Moudy, ' 98 Treasurer Mrs. Hilda D. Roach, ' 01 Secretary Scholarship Fund Alice Holliday, ' 00 REUNION. The Commencement season of 1911 will be the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the University, and the twentieth an- niversary of the graduation of the first class. A suggestion, which emanates from President Merica, will be brought up for discussion at the coming business meeting of the Alumni Association, to the effect that the Alumni make the meeting of 1911 a very big occasion indeed, and worthy of the finish of the first quarter-century of the exist- ence of the University of Wyoming. The suggestion, in brief, is as follows: That the Association take two nights of the commencement week, one night for a banquet and the other night for the presentation of a play, to be written by an alumnus or by several alumni in collaboration, the play to have the University or the State of Wyoming for a theme. Further, Dr. Merica would be glad to secure alumni to deliver both the Bac- calaureate sermon and the Commencement address, and promises the attendance of a number of the very biggest men in the state. The play could be written during the coming year, the parts could be assigned at the meeting of 1910, and learned during the succeed- ing year, it being only necessary for the principal characters to meet at Laramie any length of time previous to the presentation for re- hearsal, the lesser characters being able to get along with less practice. The celebration of 1911 need interfere in no sense with the plans of the class of 1900 to celebrate its tenth anniversary in 1910, but could be made a precedent for a big celebration every five years. o o ::r 0 ' :-

-:-0 := 0 0v (Ennimprrial lE uratinn BY HON. ' . J. TIDBALL. IhiN. V. J. Tii i:. i.[,. I HE principal occupation of people who inhabit the earth is to live, that is, to be able to move, think and be happy. The chief end of man may be different. But to be able to live is important in reaching our destination. One of the means by which we try to accomplish this desired end is education. Therefore it would seem that that system of education is best which prepares human beings for the prob- lems of life. Under different stages of civilization different activities are required in order to live successfully. For example, should a citi- zen of Wyoming suddenly decide to promenade in a leopard skin and live in a cage, subsisting by means of raw meat and roots, he would not, in all probability, be taken into our swell society and invited to participate in the festivities of pink teas and bridge parties. Or should a high-browed Bostonian go among the savages of Africa and live in a marble palace, eating beans and brown bread, and dress- ing in swallow tail and silk hat, the fair inhabitants of Africa ' s savage jungles, not understanding the marks of our civilization, s ' ould doubt- less consider him a mollycoddle. We do not critize either manner of living, but simply desire to point out that adaptability to the present day stage of civilization is indispensable. Therefore a system of education to be a success must be in practical harmony with the civilization which it seeks to represent. To develop citizens who, under the social, economic and political conditions in which they live, will be independent, sell -supporting, honest, law-abiding, and able to keep apace of civilization is the aim of every worthy educational system which has existed or ever will exist.
