©h? Alumni Association OFFICERS Wayne C. Williams.........President Iauckn a Hocking..........Secretary The Alumni Association of tlie I'niversity of Denver sends greetings through the Kvnewisbok to all Alumni and former students of the University. We are glad to announce that the University is now e. | eri-ciicing the lies! year in its history. Every department lias broken its previous records in attendance, and more gratifying even than the increased attendance, is the greater loyalty shown on the part of both the students and the Alumni. It is not too much to say that never before has the future of the institution seemed so assured. The Alumni Association officers are determined to make this year a banner one for the former students belonging to the Association. We want such an Alumni Association as the older colleges of this country have. Denvers sons and daughters are as devoted to her interests as are the Alumni of any university. They owe as much to their school, and memories of college days mean as much to them. There is no reason why the Alumni Association should not l e a real factor in college life and in the future of the institution. The great endowment campaign proved what a factor the Alumni really are. They formed the hulk of the teams that did the work of soliciting. Alumni were captains of most of the teams and leaders of the divisions. Without the Alumni the great endowment campaign could never have been carried through. Another feature is the formation of local Alumni Clubs in the various cities of Colorado. This work has just started. It means much to the University. both in the wav of securing students and in the matter of creating local sentiment for the University. On February 2 2nd President Wayne C. Williams called an Alumni meeting. for tiie purpose of planning a reunion of classes, which will be on Alumni Day. June 2. 11)15. At this meeting, a program was arranged for the day, notice of which will l e sent to every meml er of the association. During the coming college year it is planned to begin the publication of a quarterly bulletin, by means of which the interests of the organization will Ik? advanced. All Alumni are urged to attend the meetings of the Association and to suggest ways to increase its efficiency and make it valuable to the Alma Mater. Lorf.n a Hocking. Secretary. Snu. Iflaiptr £.
