In composition the Alumni Association includes all graduates of the University and all former students whose period of residence covers one term. In purpose, it is dual; hrst, serving the alumni themselves and, second, serving the State. In organization it com- prises machinery covering the State rather closely and reaching into the larger centers of popu- lation outside the State where ap- preciable numbers of alumni re- side. Its purposes are, of course, most important. For a graduate or former student to do for him- self what his Association does for him his procedure would be about as follows: SECRETARY LOVVRY AT HIS DESK Subscribe for and read all magazines, papers, periodicals and bulletins pub- lished on the campus. Read all the new books published by University of Tennessee folks, faculty and students and alumni, on and off the campus. Watch carefully all the daily papers and the better magazines for mention and criticism of Tennessee alumni; being familiar with their names and records sufficiently to recognize them. Compile a card index and letter file for all the U. of T. folks. The family numbers well above ten thousand. Keep in touch with all of these by correspondence. Circulate around at Commencement, Homecoming, and other times; attend the games, concerts, convocations; talk to as many of the folks as possible. Make it his business to know all the developments and improvements in his University; scent all danger signals. Digest, analyze, and tell abroad all the information of these sorts he can get. The second phase of Asso- ciation purpose, according to the interpretation of alumni, can best be accomplished by improving the Universityls op- portunity for service. Since the Association can serve the State best bv serving the Uni- versity, it lends its energies always to matters that will help Alma Mater. The organization of the Association by Which these purposes are promoted pro- vides for three Vice Presi- dents, one in each division of THE 0FFICE the State. Each of these Vice Presidents is responsible for a certain number of regional chairmen. Each of these regional chairmen is responsible for the promotion and maintenance of organization in the counties Within his region. The counties, of course, elect their own county chairmen. In this way, the entire State is covered by the Alumni Association. Alumni centers outside the State are reached from the general office direct. Page Fourteen
