ALMOST as old as the school it- self, the University's active, closely knit Alumni Association has gone through a long period of growth and evolution since the first class of 11 graduates formed the Society of Alumni in 1845. Under the leadership of T. Haw- ley Tapping, '15, general secretary, the organization now serves as the connecting link for thousands of graduates and former students with the University and, in addi- tion, supports many campus pro- jects. Publishing The Michigan Alum- nus, helping plan Michigan Club programs and class reunions and keeping tabs on former classmates are among the many services the Association perfoms for the alum- ni. THE ALUMNUS, official publi- cation of the Association which boasts over 12,000 subscribers, is one of the most effective methods of keeping alumni informed. Included in the magazine are features on campus activities, the work of various Michigan Clubs and news items about the activi- ties of former classmates. The staff is headed by Tapping, with Har- old M. Wilson, '42, as managing editor and Suzanne Vogt, '39, as assistant editor. Michigan Clubs, which are found in many foreign countries as well as in all sections of the United States, have continued to increase until there are now almost 200 active chapters. The globe has been divided into 13 geographic districts by the As- sociation, and the director of each district and field secretary, J. Stu- art Finlayson, '48, plan the activi- ties and programs for the clubs. After a busy semester of tour- ing the country showing Rose Bowl I movies to alumni groups, Finlayson is now attending district meetings and final banquets held by many clubs to conclude their year's ac- tivities. * * * CLASS REUNIONS, usually held on a five-year basis, are planned by the Class Officers Council. The council is made up of officers of each graduating class and is as- sisted by Robert Morgan, '31, in the central office. Another important service to alumni for keeping track of old friends is through the files kept on each alumnus in Alumni Me- morial Hall. Information on any graduate or former student can be obtained merely by writing to the central office here. Activities which pertain spe- cifically to women are handled by the Alumnae Council, direct- ed by Alice J. Russell, '27. It was through the efforts of this group that the League was built, and Henderson House, a co-op for women, was opened. The coun- cil's current project is an addi- tion for Henderson House which would accommodate 13 addition- al women students. Funds for these alumnae pro- jects and for the scholarships they award each year, are raised large- ly through the sale of china paint- ed with campus scenes and the other novel objects which the council handles. Probably the newest "tradition" of the Association is the program of awards for distinguished alumni servicewhich was recently set up. SThese awards are presented at the general meeting held each year on commencement day to those who have rendered outstanding service to the Association. Presentation of souvenir book- lets to members of clubs holding University of Michigan day cele- brations is another of the Associ- ation's newer services. These an- nual observances of the founding of the University, informally re- ferred to as "birthday parties," have been held by clubs from Bos- ton to Bombay and Ann Arbor to Ankara.
