The U. A. C. Alumni The organization of the degree graduates of the C. A. C. into an alumni association was perfected at the College during Commencement week, in June, 1899, and was largely due to the direct initiative of Mrs. Anna Beers Petty. 98, and Charles Jensen, 97. The Constitution and By-Laws were drawn up by John Stewart, ‘97, aided by John T. Caine. ’94, and Lewis A. Merrill. ‘95. The last named had the honor of being elected the first president of the association. Since his time, the office has been filled by the following members, in the order named: John T. Caine, Jr., 94; . H. Homer, annaul banquet and ball, given regularly at the College on Commence ment Day. 'The old Gymnasium has beheld many a joyous commencement ball, extending far into the early morning hours. During the last few seasons, the alumni have gradually widened the scope of their influence. They have grown stronger, numerically and otherwise, and have felt equal to the task of giving an annual ball, of entertaining the Seniors each year, of holding an informal reception after the annual business meeting, and of publishing a history of the association and of each individual member, the first volume of the l A. C. Graduate. The association, which was organized with forty-four members, in 1899, now numbers exactly 177 living members. 20
