The Alumni Association The Alumni Association of the Universitiy of Tennessee has become an active force in the life of former students and in the progress of the University. It has a purpose now and that purpose is to make the alma mater greater that educational interests may advance and that the resources of the State may be developed more adequately. It Will also keep up the interest of former students in one another and in educational matters. At the same time it expects to help add to the pleasure of the alumni by keeping their interests broader and their college acquaintanceship warmer. The reformation of the Association begun last Commencement, is still going on, and a year or two will be necessary to get things in full operation. Then growth will just be well begun. There will be room for improvement from year to year almost indefinitely in the future. Everything that is done to add to college spirit on the Hill or to improve the educational advantages there, or to instill more general patriotism among the students, will make possible a better alumni association. If an alumni association is to keep up the interest of the former students and their touch With their alma mater, it must have a headquarters and some one to look after its interests. It is not enough to have an organization and officers but some one must give his active service to the interest of former students. In other words, a general secretary is needed. He should be assisted by other officers and an advisory committee, and Will need one or more office helpers, but on him must rest the responsibility of making the association a success. tiTennesseei, now has a secretary, L. R. Neel, of the class of 1907, who gives most of his time to the interests of the alumni association. If an alumni association is to accomplish its purpose, it must obtain and maintain a correct list of former students. This is a big task at iiTennessee because only a partial list was in existence when the work was begun. Then the changing of addres- ses by former students makes constant corrections necessary. Keeping in touch with the alumni is one of the big undertakings of an alumni secretary. The matter of keeping up the interest of former students and of keeping them informed concerning their alma mater and college friends is the main function of an alumni secretary. To do this he must publish a magazine or paper and issue litera- ture from time to time. Home-comings and class reunions must be worked up and local clubs must be formed. The alumni association of the University of Tennessee, now has its publication, iiThe Tennessee Alumnus. a quarterly, issued in January. April, July and October. It had its first homecoming last Fall at the time of the Tennessee-Vanderbilt game and will have the first class reunions at commencement this year. Ten local alumni clubs have been organized and others will be organized as interest grows. Funds are necessary to carry on the work of the association and these must come entirely from former students, as the University is not able to help. The annual dues of the association are $2 a year in advance, but larger subscriptions are most accep- table and are needed at the start to carry on the work as it should be done. Any student Who has spent as much as a term in the University has become a part of the institution and is eligible to membershin in the alumni association. This was the View taken by the meeting of alumni at the home- c-oming last Fall and the constitution was so worded. The following is a list of local alumni clubs: Knoxville, president, John H.
