Many in Colleges. With alumni scattered through col- | leges all over the country and per- manently living In nearly every country of the globe, the medium which holds them together, in_spirit, at_least, is a quarterly publication called “The Alumni Record.” So far as known it is the only regularl considerable | ora ged have | | larger Central, an _educational $5.000 for his although sporadic attempts been made by associations cities to copy the Central plan on a | much reduced scale. | in other As the average issue runs to six-|has been practically completed. teen pages or more “The Alumni Record” is enabled to present a breezy resume of school events of in- terest to alumni. feature articles and a grist of personal news notes, which cover practically- ever class.

Small Fee Charged. of the remarkable features the Central Alumni Associ- | ation is the fact that a pretentious paper is published and all other ex- penses of the association carried on for the small yearly membership of | 50 cents. Recently a life membership | class has been established, costing | $5, which is handled on the endow- | ment plan, payments being kept in-' tact as an interest-bearing endow- ment for the association’s work. With cartoons furnished by Clifford K. Berryman of The Star, a recent drive for life membership is bringing in many others and those who have taken advantage of this plan include members of every class from 1878 to 1923. One reason why the membership dues for the alumni association have been held so low is that all social events have been independently financed, on_the theory that those whose out-of-town residence forbids their attendance should not be forced to bear the cost. The association has managed two very successful dances during the winter and now has plans under way for an even more elaborate dance on the 21st of this month, at which the new outdoor One pergola on the school roof will belll used for the first time at an alumni function.
