One hundred years ago this month the first class was graduated from the University at Ann Arbor and be- came the newly organized alumni body of eleven. These first.graduates took the name of the Society of the Alumni of the Department of Literature, Science and the Arts, and out of this group developed the Alumni Association with its roster of 1,750 life members and sponsorship of local alumni clubs, Class Officers Council and class re- unions, the Alumni Catalog Office, the Alumni Advisory Council and the 'Michigan Alumnus." The President's Opinion The p'resent-day spirit of the As- sociation is expressed in the follow- ing statements made President Ruth- ven in 1932: "Webelieve that the student should be trained as an alumnus from matri- culation. He enrolls in the Univer- sity for life, and for better or worse he will always remain an integral part of the institution." In contrast, ie scope of the early group was much smaller. The So- ciety of Alumni aimed to provide an opportunity for former students to gather and it was not until 1860 that the alumni participated in University affairs in any capacity other than that of critic. States Purposes It then stated its purposes as "im- provement of its members, the per- [petuation of pleasant associations, the promotion of the interests of the University and through that of the interests of higher education in gen- eral." It was in 1871 that the movement began to unite the alumni of all de- partments. The Department of Law alumni numbered 1,024 by this time and there were 1,200 medical alumni. In 1897 the Society of Alumni held its last meeting and organized all department alumni groups into one united body, headed by a board of five directors (later increased) Levi L. Barbour, '63 A. B., '65 L., wae elec- ted president and Ralph C. McAl- laster was appointed first general secretary and editor of the "Michi- gan Alumnus." Early Officers Named After a few months, James H. Prentiss, '96, succeeded McAllaster. Shirley W. Smith, '97, A. M. '96, Board of Gradual'? Council Will Meet An executive board meeting of the Graduate .Council will be held at 8 p. in. EWT (7 p. m. CWT) Monday in the Board Room, Rackham Build- ing. sevred as general secretary from 1901 to 1904. Wilfred B. Shaw, '04, Director of Alumni Relations, began his quarter century as general secretary in 1904 and was succeeded in 1929 by the present secretary, T. Hawley Tap- ping, '16 L. During Shaw's administration the Association moved from a room in University Hall to its present loca- tion in Alumni Memorial Hall at its opening in 1909. The number of lo- cal alumni groups grew, and now there are 195 such clubs. Unique among them is the University of Michigan "West of Tokyo" Club, whose members are former students now stationed west of a line drawn straight south of Tokyo. Groups of 275 Classes upon graduation are now organized into 275 groups, each of which holds a reunion every five years in peacetime. The Class offi- cers Council, with Robert O. Morgan, '31 Ed., as secretary, coordinates their activities. The Emeritus Club, open to alumni graduated 50 years or more ago, has been functioning since 1930. The "Michigan Alumnus," is the oldest existing alumni publication in the country, with the exception of the "Yale Alumni News." Alvick Pearson established it in 1894 and it was purchased in 1898 by the Asso- ciation. 'Alumnus' Published Weekly The magazine, edited by Tapping, appears weekly during the first two months of the fall term, every two weeks during the rest of the school year, and monthly in the summer. A necrology file is published in the "Alumnus" and its compilation con- stitutes one of the functions of the Alumni Catalog Office, headed by Mrs. Lunette Hadley. The office po- ssesses files of approximately 99,000 folders containing biographical ma- terial, registration cards, correspon- dence and circulars;the folder file of all past and present administra- tive officers and teaching faculty members of the University; and complete undergraduate files from the Registrar's Office since 1937.
