Show ALUMNI * 'A n XN investigation of the development of the more eminent universities of the country has revealed the loyalty and backing of the alumni of these universities as the great factor back of their growth. A review of the situation at Utah shows the presence of a scholarly and conscientious faculty, a student body high in scholarship, a course of instruction of high standard and so planned as to be easily expanded, and a surrounding locality with unbounded opportunity for development; in short, everything which goes to contribute to the development of a truly GREAT University except a cooperating alumni. The lack of an Alumni secretary, which has completely stopped the activity of the Alumni Association, could be easily corrected, and plans made possible for the materialization of a greater Utah. The publication of the alumni booklet, which has been discontinued, would greatly facilitate cooperation between undergraduates and alumni members. Financially this publication could be assured with the backing of prominent business men listed as Utah graduates. With the dawn of a new year, with the unbounded hope for the expansion of our Alma Mater, and with the dream of complete unfolding of a Greater University, we trust that the Alumni Association may do its part in making the association closer between the student and the 'old grad'. Ellis Barker, Secretary of the Alumni Association. Medical Building -tm [53 ] |
