For more than 50 years Michigan has set the pace and the standards for the state universities of America. Tonight, perhaps she is about to take the first steps towardt a new standard. She has seen many new sister institutions originate and grow to proportions almost equal to her own. She has seen many ap- proximately her own age which have developed a high grade of scholar- ship. Through all these years, how- ever, she has attempted and achieved new things in education, and has as- sumea leaership through initiative, cQurage, originality and high ideals. To Interest Alumni "The problem with which we are faced at present is to interest the alunni in a new order of alumni achievement. This purpose is entire- ly different from anything ever at- tempted by a university of our own or of any other type. To do this it wil be necessary to take for granted at the outset that those of you who are here tonight do not need any arguments to convince you of Michi- gan's high aims and of Michigan'sI rea opportunities. If we are to do anything at all which will last1 through the years and serve as an impetus to further progress, it m'ust be from the outset with the under- standing that you are already con- vinced of the value of a project of the general type to be outlined and that you are willing as individuals to lend your weight to furthering it. 64 -0 some change ana grOwi d. Undergraduate Analyzed "What is an alumni university? This may well be asked, and in order to understand better what his involved, let us for a moment analyze what is an undergraduate or graduate uni- versity of the type which is charac- teristic of the University of Michi- gan as it at present exists? A uni- versity is a cooperative venture be- tween the state which supports it, its students and its faculty in com- mon service and with common aims and ideals. The state gives support to the university and expects sup- port from it. The faculty receives aid from the state and is expected in re-' turn to give their energy and wisdom to the probltms of the state. The students receive assistance from the state and are its servants. They are therefore expected to give in return some of their energies and wisdom to its problems. Similarly the faculty and the students are fundamentally interrelated for, a comon good and presumably common ieals. This be- ing the case, no alumni university can be 'complete unless it is founded cn the mutual basis of service to and by the alumnus. He must receive soirething from the organization as it is planned,,iand he must give something to it in return. He must enter into full partnership with the other mem- bers of the firm of State, Faculty, and Students. It is the type of inter- relationship so vivid and active in one's college years which afterwards is ant to becomeaattenuated or weak- ened by distance, both physical and ft t he latest advance in any subject or subjects which are of particular in- erest to You.
