ESTABLISHED 1890 'Sr Ar 4v t Lii MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS) VOL. XXXVIII, No. 91. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1928 EIGHT PAGES PRESIDENT LITTLE TO DIVULGE PLAN FOR TEN YEAR PROGRAM OF ALUMNI ACTIVITY AT 'CENTENNIAL SEND-OFF BANQUET' TONIGHT GREAT CELEBRATION PLANNED FOR 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF UNIVERSITY PROPOSALS ARE NOVEL Delegates Of Michigan Clubs In Large Cities Will Attend Annual Meeting At Union Holding their "Centennial Send-off Dinner" tonight at the Union, more than 500 alumni, representing every section of the country, will gather to consider the program which the Uni- versity will pursue during the next ten years up to the centennial in 1937. President Clarence Cook Little and E. J. Ottoway will be among the speakers, and it is expected that the President will outline the program for the Alumni University which he and a number of prominent alumni have worked out. It is planned to hold a great Cen- tennial celebration at the 100th anni- versary of the founding ofthe Uni- versity in 10 years, and during this time the President is anxious to or- ganize a program of constructive benefit to both the alumni and the student body. Expect New Proposals It is for this purpose that he will outline tonight the idea whereby men and women graduate into the Alumni University rather than out of the Uni- versity itself, and some concrete pro- posals to this end are expected to be made by the President. The newly organized local alumni club has made arrangements for the dinner as far as the technical details are concerned, and will be host to the crowd which will attend the affair. The dinner will be in a sense for all Michigan alumni, but the number which the Union ball room can handle at a banquet is limited, and as a result no more than 500 graduates of the University will be able to attend. The tickets for the affair have been in the hands of officers of the Alumni association, who have attempted to distribute them with as much regard for geographical scope as possible, though by far the largest delegation will come from Detroit for the event, headed by Regent James Murfin of that city. Dr. Oscar Eberbach, '08, president of the Ann Arbor University of Michi- gan club, and Nathan S. Potter, din- ner chairman, have managed the de- tail of the work of arranging the gi- gantic banquet, and Paul Wagner, '16E, has served as treasurer of the dinner committee. President Little, while not being the sole speaker of the program, will deliver the princi- pal address and will divulge for the first time the plan which he in con- junction with prominent alumni and members of the faculty have worked out for the expansion of the Alumni association into the Alumni Univer- sity. Certain other phases of the Alumni University program will be taken up by other seakers, all of whom will give only very brief out- line of the phases which they will touch. Large Cities Represented Clubs in Chicago, Cleveland, Cin- cinnati, Milwaukee, Toledo, and a dozen other large cities have signified their intention of sending -delegates, and more than 100 special invitations to prominent alumni were sent out by the Alumni association for the affair. More than 200 alumni from Detroit have signified their intention of beingC present and small cities and remote sections of the country will be rep- resented by group representatives.; The dinner tonight will be strictly anj affair for the men who have graduat- ed, and the program to be outlined will be one which President Little in- tends for the men graduates to carryI out. A similar dinner will probably be held in the near future for the women, at which time a similar pro- gram will be outlined by the Pres- ident. These dinners will furnish the prin- cipal feature of the first year's pro- gram of the Alumni University and an attempt will be made to establish som'e definite program which can be carried out through the ten years Swhich will benefit the University.. What definite action will be taken by the alumni at this meeting, or whether any definite action will be taken, is not known nor included in the plans. The principal object of the meeting is merely to place be- fore the alumni some of the major problems of the University and to in- spire their. cooperation in the solving of these problems. May Discuss DJorntories It is possible that the question of men's dormtories will be brought up by the President at the meeting to- night, though the definite outline of his speech is now known. The organ- ization of the Alumni University how- ever, a dream of prominent alumni and President Little for more than two years, will be undertaken, and the functions of this new organization i I G) l l I t I CSI 1 ii i STUDENTS MUST REGISTER CARS FOR J-HOP WEEK-END All students planning to drive cars over the week end of the J-Hop are required to register them at the office of the (lean of students.
