Show ALUMNI ^^ ***%h mm 7^<HE University of Utah Alumni ^•Association, once so active, has now practically ceased to take any active part or interest in the life of the University. This is to be regretted, for it is in its power to wield a great influence in the growth and future of Utah. The chief cause for the dissolution of the Association is the discontinuing of the weekly paper once sent out to all alumni with news of the latest happenings and needs of their Alma Mater. No one could be found with time enough to edit it. The officers of the Association this year are Charles R. Mabey, president, and Ellis Barker, secretary. Mr. Barker, however, resigned shortly after the beginning of the new year, and his position has not yet been filled. This vacancy is also the cause of much of the inactivity of the Association. The individual alumni of the University are deserving of praise. Mr. Mabey participated in the drive to obtain a stadium as a member of the Stadium Trust Commission and many of the alumni and business men of Salt Lake helped by the purchase of advance tickets to make the stadium venture financially sound. Praise is also due to the alumni in Hawaii, for the reception given the team when they went over for the game with the University of Hawaii. The rooting of the special alumni section at the game did much to overcome the strangeness of the Ute's surroundings and to spur them on to win. Charles R. Mabey, President of the Alumni Association.
