Memphis The Alumni Association of the University of Tennessee was reorganized in the summer of 1916. An alumni office was opened on the University campus, and has been maintained since that time. For the flrst year after reorganization, Mr. L. R. Neel, of the class of 1907, was secretary. Shortly after the outbreak of the war, Mr. Neel left the alumni office to resume his work with the Southern Agriculturist. It was thought best, at that time, for a member of the faculty to undertake the work during the period of the war. One of the great needs of the University is a proper reorganization of the alumni. N0 University can reach its highest possibilities without the full support of every student who has received training within its docrs. The attitude of the student body should be: As soon as a student registers in the University he becomes a member of the University community, and finally a member of the Alumni Association. The alumni should have a strong organization, and should maintain an office on the campus with a secretary devoting his full time to the work. Heretofore when students have left the University they have often seemed to forget that they had further connections with the institution. They have gone away and have not written back to the University and, as a consequence, their occupation and address is unknown. A big work in the alumni office is to try to get in touch with all former students of the University. When a student has ceased to write to the Univer- sity it is almost impossible to get the correct address. This difficulty has been especially emphasized during the period of the war. The alumni records show that more than 1,200 men have gone into service. This list is certainly not complete, because the alumni office is unable to get in touch with many persons who have gone away and lost their connection with the University. , Shortly after the association was reorganized it began the publication of a quar- terly magazine known as the Tennessee Alumnusi For two years this publication has been issued quarterly. Beginning with January, 1919, it has been issued bi-monthly, while next year it is our hope that the magazine will be issued monthly. The Tennessee Alumnus is sent to active members of the association. In order to inform the general alumni body of the work of the University and the reorganization of the Alumni Association, news letters have been sent out to all persons whose addresses were known in the alumni office. These letters should be sent out as often as there is some definite information that all the alumni should have. One of the big works accomplished by the alumni office is the cataloging and class- ifying 0f the alumni. Geographical lists have been prepared, showing the distribution of all former students of the University. At present, complete records are being made showing important information about former students. When these records are coln- plete the work of the association may be carried on much more effectively. An effort has been made to organize the Classes of the University into stronger working units. Up to this time little success has been attained, because the attention of the alumni has been taken by the war. Now that peace is assured, this work should be carried on, and every class which has gone from the University should be organized into a Working unit. In order to keep students in closer touch with the University, they should return to the University at stated times for reunions. This is one of the most effective ways of keeping a love for Alma Mater burning. From this time on, students, when they leave the University, should set a date on which to return, and then look forward to that date, making sure that they will be back when the class roll is called. 19 IQDXZ-l tN lAlBTEEN ..
