Since he became superintendent in 1926, he has seen the value of school proper- ty rise from $96,800 to $1,725,195. Through consclidation, eight elementary schools and two high schools now replace 29 one- room schools, 7 two-reom schools, five three-room schools, and two high schools. The tribute to him stated, ‘“‘a man of even temperament and calm judgment, he has seen marked growth in the two coun- ty high schools. ‘They bear testimony to his long range planning and keen in- sight of the educational needs of the county.” Dr. L.

Certainly A every American college is a partner with its alumni in its ef- forts for advancement, and that makes you one of the most im- portant persons in higher education. In this sixteen-page supplement, we tell you just why you, and other American alumni, are so influential. This supplement is the second one the Alumni Magazine has run on broad educational topics. In the spring, 1958, issue, the subject was “American Higher Education.” Both have been produced by a national board of alumni editors who banded together to prepare jointly material which none could assemble individually.

It is directed to you as an alumnus or alumna. As such, you are one of the most important persons in American education today. You are important to American education, and to your alma mater, for a variety of reasons, not all of which may be instantly apparent to you. You are important, first, because you are the principal product of your alma mater—the principal claim she can make to fame. To a degree that few suspect, it is by its alumni that an educational institution is judged. And few yardsticks could more accurately measure an institution’s true worth. You are important to American education, further, because of the support you give to it. Financial support comes immediately to mind: the money that alumni are giving to the schools, colleges, and universities they once attended has reached an impressive sum, larger than that received from any other source of gifts. It is indispensable. But the support you give in other forms is impressive and indispensable, also. Alumni push and guide the legis- lative programs that strengthen the nation’s publicly supported educational institutions. They frequently act as academic talent scouts for their alma maters, meeting and talking with the college-bound high school students in their communities. They are among the staunchest de- fenders of high principles in education—e.g., academic freedom—even when such defense may not be the “*popu- lar’? posture. The list is long; yet every year alumni are finding ways to extend it. O THE HUNDREDS of colleges and universities and secondary schools from which they came, alumni are important in another way—one that has nothing to do with what alumni can do for the institutions them- ROBERT PHILLIPS selves. Unlike most other forms of human enterprise, educational institutions are not in business for what they themselves can get out of it. They exist so that free people, through education, can keep civilization on the forward move. Those who ultimately do this are their alumni. Thus only through its alumni can a school or a college or a university truly fulfill itself. Chancellor Samuel B. Gould, of the University of Cali- fornia, put it this way: ‘‘The serious truth of the matter is that you are the distilled essence of the university, for you are its product and the basis for its reputation. If anything lasting is to be achieved by us as a community of scholars, it must in most instances be reflected in you. If we are to win intellec- tual victories or make cultural advances, it must be through your good offices and your belief in our mission.” The italics are ours. The mission is yours and ours together. Alma Mater... At an alumni-alumnae meeting in Washington, members sing the old school song. The purpose of this meeting was to introduce the institution to high school boys and girls who, with their parents, were present as the club’s guests. Alumnus + alumnus- Many people cling to the odd notion that in this case is a puzzling thing. That the view is highly illogical seems only to add to its popularity. That its ele- ments are highly contradictory seems to bother no one. Here is the paradox: Individually you, being an alumnus or alumna, are among the most respected and sought-after of beings. People expect of you (and usually get) leadership or in- telligent followership. They appoint you to positions of trust in business and government and stake the nation’s very survival on your school- and college-developed abilities. If you enter politics, your educational pedigree is freely discussed and frequently boasted about, even in precincts where candidates once took pains to conceal any educa- tion beyond the sixth grade. In clubs, parent-teacher associations, churches, labor unions, you are considered to be the brains, the backbone, the eyes, the ears, and the neckbone—the latter to be stuck out, for alumni are ex- pected to be intellectually adventurous as well as to ex- ercise other attributes. But put you in an alumni club, or back on campus for a reunion or homecoming, and the popular respect—yea, awe—turns to chuckles and ho-ho-ho. The esteemed in- dividual, when bunched with other esteemed individuals, becomes in the popular image the subject of quips, a can- didate for the funny papers. He is now imagined to be a person whose interests stray no farther than the degree of baldness achieved by his classmates, or the success in marriage and child-bearing achieved by her classmates, or the record run up last season by the alma mater’s football or field-hockey team. He is addicted to funny hats deco- rated with his class numerals, she to daisy chainmaking and to recapturing the elusive delights of the junior-class hoop-roll. If he should encounter his old professor of physics, he is supposedly careful to confine the conversation to remi- niscences about the time Joe or Jane Wilkins, with spec- tacular results, tried to disprove the validity of Newton’s third law. To ask the old gentleman about the implica- tions of the latest research concerning anti-matter would be, it is supposed, a most serious breach of the Alumni Reunion Code. Such a view of organized alumni activity might be dis- missed as unworthy of note, but for one disturbing fact: among its most earnest adherents are a surprising number of alumni and alumnae themselves. Ts: POPULAR VIEW of you, an alumnus or alumna, Permit us to lay the distorted image to rest, with the aid of the rites conducted by cartoonist Mark Kelley on the following pages. To do so will not necessitate burying the class banner or interring the reunion hat, nor is there a need to disband the homecoming day parade. The simple truth is that the serious activities of organ- ized alumni far outweigh the frivolities—in about the Same proportion as the average citizen’s, or unorganized alumnus’s, party-going activities are outweighed by his less festive pursuits. Look, for example, at the activities of the organized alumni of a large and famous state university in the Mid- west. The former students of this university are often pictured as football-mad. And there is no denying that, to many of them, there is no more pleasant way of spending an autumn Saturday than witnessing a victory by the home team. , But by far the great bulk of alumni energy on behalf of the old school is invested elsewhere: > Every year the alumni association sponsors a recog- nition dinner to honor outstanding students—those with a scholastic average of 3.5 (B+) or better. This has proved to be a most effective way of showing students that aca- demic prowess is valued above all else by the institution and its alumni. > Every year the alumni give five ‘“‘distinguished teach- ing awards’’—grants of $1,000 each to professors selected by their peers for outstanding performance in the class- room. > An advisory board of alumni prominent in various fields meets regularly to consider the problems of the university: the quality of the course offerings, the caliber of the students, and a variety of other matters. They re- port directly to the university president, in confidence. Their work has been salutary. When the university’s school of architecture lost its accreditation, for example, the efforts of the alumni advisers were invaluable in get- ting to the root of the trouble and recommending meas- ures by which accreditation could be regained. > The efforts of alumni have resulted in the passage of urgently needed, but politically endangered, appropria- tions by the state legislature. , > Some 3,000 of the university’s alumni act each year as volunteer alumni-fund solicitors, making contacts with 30,000 of the university’s former students. Nor is this a particularly unusual list of alumni accom- plishments. The work and thought expended by the alum- falumni—or does it? the group somehow differs from the sum of its parts Behind the fun ni of hundreds of schools, colleges, and universities in behalf of their alma maters would make a glowing record, if ever it could be compiled. The alumni of one institution took it upon themselves to survey the federal income-tax laws, as they affected parents’ ability to finance their children’s education, and then, in a nationwide campaign, pressed for needed reforms. In a score of cities, the alumnae of a women’s college annually sell tens of thou- sands of tulip bulbs for their alma mater’s benefit; in eight years they have raised $80,000, not to mention hundreds of thousands of tulips. Other institutions’ alum- nae stage house and garden tours, organize used-book sales, sell flocked Christmas trees, sponsor theatrical benefits. Name a worthwhile activity and someone is probably doing it, for faculty salaries or building funds or student scholarships. Drop in on a reunion or a local alumni-club meeting, and you may well find that the superficial programs of of organized alumni activity—in clubs, at reunions—lies new seriousness nowadays, and a substantial record of service to American education. yore have been replaced by seminars, lectures, laboratory demonstrations, and even week-long short-courses. Visit the local high school during the season when the senior students are applying for admission to college—and try- ing to find their way through dozens of college catalogues, each describing a campus paradise—and you will find alumni on hand to help the student counselors. Nor are they high-pressure salesmen for their own alma mater and disparagers of everybody else’s. Often they can, and do, perform their highest service to prospective students by advising them to apply somewhere else. HE ACHIEVEMENTS, in short, belie the popular image. And if no one else realizes this, or cares, one group should: the alumni and alumnae themselves. Too many of them may be shying away from a good thing be- cause they think that being an “‘active’’ alumnus means wearing a funny hat. Why they come Amd there wi// be TURBULENT YEARS / DEAN!

Alumni support 1s ITHOUT THE DOLLARS that their alumni contrib- \ \ ute each year, America’s privately supported educational institutions would be in serious difficulty today. And the same would be true of the na- tion’s publicly supported institutions, without the sup- port of alumni in legislatures and elections at which - appropriations or bond issues are at stake. For the private institutions, the financial support re- ceived from individual alumni often means the difference between an adequate or superior faculty and one that is underpaid and understaffed; between a thriving scholar- ship program and virtually none at all; between well- equipped laboratories and obsolete, crowded ones. For tax-supported institutions, which in growing numbers are turning to their alumni for direct financial support, such aid makes it possible to give scholarships, grant loans to needy students, build such buildings as student unions, and carry on research for which legislative appropriations do not provide. To gain an idea of the scope of the support which alumni give—and of how much that is worthwhile in American education depends upon it—consider this sta- tistic, unearthed in a current survey of 1,144 schools, junior colleges, colleges, and universities in the United States and Canada: in just twelve months, alumni gave their alma maters more than $199 million. They were the largest single source of gifts. ‘Nor was this the kind of support that is given once, per- haps as the result of a high-pressure fund drive, and never heard of again. Alumni tend to give funds regularly. In _the past year, they contributed $45.5 million, on an annual gift basis, to the 1,144 institutions surveyed. To realize. that much annual income from investments in blue-chip stocks, the institutions would have needed over 1.2 billion more dollars in endowment funds than they actually possessed. 3 the American educational scene (Yale alumni founded the first annual college fund in 1890, and Mount Hermon was the first independent secondary school to do so, in 1903). But not until fairly recently did annual giving become the main element in education’s financial survival kit. The development was logical. Big endowments had been affected by inflation. Big private philanthropy, affected by the graduated income and in- Vas ALUMNI GIVING is not a new phenomenon on heritance taxes, was no longer able to do the job alone. Yet, with the growth of science and technology and democratic concepts of education, educational budgets had to be increased to keep pace. Twenty years before Yale’s first alumni drive, a pro- fessor in New Haven foresaw the possibilities and looked into the minds of alumni everywhere: ‘““No graduate of the college,” he said, ‘‘has ever paid in full what it cost the college to educate him. A part of the expense was borne by the funds given by former bene- factors of the institution. ‘A great many can never pay the debt. A very few can, in their turn, become munificent benefactors. There is a very large number, however, between these two, who can, and would cheerfully, give according to their ability in order that the college might hold the same relative posi- tion to future generations which it held to their own.” The first Yale alumni drive, seventy years ago, brought in $11,015. In 1959 alone, Yale’s alumni gave more than $2 million. Not only at Yale, but at the hundreds of other institutions which have established annual alumni funds in the intervening years, the feeling of indebtedness and the concern for future generations which the Yale pro- fessor foresaw have spurred alumni to greater and greater efforts in this enterprise. draws more. Not only have more than eighty busi- ness corporations, led in 1954 by General Electric, established the happy custom of matching, dollar for dol- lar, the gifts that their employees (and sometimes their employees’ wives) give to their alma maters; alumni giving is also a measure applied by many business men and by philanthropic foundations in determining how productive their organizations’ gifts to an educational in- stitution are likely to be. Thus alumni giving, as Gordon K. Chalmers, the late president of Kenyon College, de- scribed it, is ““‘the very rock on which all other giving must rest. Gifts from outside the family depend largely—some- times wholly—on the degree of alumni support.” The “‘degree of alumni support” is gauged not by dol- lars alone. The percentage of alumni who are regular givers is also a key. And here the record is not as dazzling as the dollar figures imply. Nationwide, only one in five alumni of colleges, uni- versities, and prep schools gives to his annual alumni \" MONEY FROM ALUMNI is a powerful magnet: it ] received more of it from their alumni than now education’s strongest financial rampart fund. The actual figure last year was 20.9 per cent. Allow- ing for the inevitable few who are disenchanted with their alma maters’ cause,* and for those who spurn all fund solicitations, sometimes with heavy scorn,+ and for those whom legitimate reasons prevent from giving financial aid,§ the participation figure is still low. HY? Perhaps because the non-participants imag- 5 \ ine their institutions to be adequately financed. (Virtually without exception, in both private and tax-supported institutions, this is—sadly—not so.) Per- haps because they believe their small gift—a dollar, or five, or ten—will be insignificant. (Again, most emphati- cally, not so. Multiply the 5,223,240 alumni who gave nothing to their alma maters last year by as little as one dollar each, and the figure still comes to thousands of additional scholarships for deserving students or sub- stantial pay increases for thousands of teachers who may, at this moment, be debating whether they can afford to continue teaching next year.) By raising the percentage of participation i in alumni fund drives, alumni can materially improve their alma maters’ standing. That dramatic increases in participation can be brought about, and quickly, is demonstrated by the case of Wofford College, a small institution in South Carolina. Until several years ago, Wofford received annual gifts from only 12 per cent of its 5,750 alumni. Then Roger Milliken, a textile manufacturer and a Wof- ford trustee, issued a challenge: for every percentage- point increase over 12 per cent, he’d give $1,000. After the alumni were finished, Mr. Milliken cheerfully turned over a check for $62,000. Wofford’s alumni had raised their participation in the annual fund to 74.4 per cent—a new national record. “It was a remarkable performance,’ observed the American Alumni Council. “‘Its impact on Wofford will be felt for many years to come.” And what Wofford’s alumni could do, your institution’s alumni could probably do, too. * Wrote one alumnus: “‘I see that Stanford is making great prog- ress. However, I am opposed to progress in any form. Therefore I am not sending you any money.” + A man in Memphis, Tennessee, regularly sent Baylor University a check signed ‘‘U. R. Stuck.” § In her fund reply envelope, a Kansas alumna once sent, without comment, her household bills for the month. memo: from \ K wes © Husbands » Women’s colleges, as a group, have had a unique problem in fund-raising—and they wish they knew how to solve it. The loyalty of their alumnae in contributing money each year—an average of 41.2 per cent took part in 1959 —is nearly double the national average for all universi- ties, colleges, junior colleges, and privately supported secondary schools. But the size of the typical gift is often smaller than one might expect. Why? The alumnae say that while husbands obviously place a high value on the products of the women’s col- leges, many underestimate the importance of giving wom- en’s colleges the same degree of support they accord their own alma maters. This, some guess, is a holdover from the days when higher education for women was regarded as a luxury, while higher education for men was consid- ered a sine qua non for business and professional careers. As a result, again considering the average, women’s colleges must continue to cover much of their operating expense from tuition fees. Such fees are generally higher than those charged by men’s or coeducational institutions, and the women’s colleges are worried about the social and intellectual implications of this fact. They have no desire to be the province solely of children of the well-to-do; higher education for women is no longer a luxury to be reserved to those who can pay heavy fees. Since contributions to education appear to be one area of family budgets still controlled largely by men, the alumnae hope that husbands will take serious note of the women’s colleges’ claim to a larger share of it. They may be starting to do so: from 1958 to 1959, the average gift to women’s colleges rose 22.4 per cent. But it still trails the average gift to men’s colleges, private universities, and professional schools. 55-Hf Foyer ERICH HARTMANN, MAGNUM for the Public educational institutions, a special kind of service UBLICLY SUPPORTED educational institutions owe a special kind of debt to their alumni. Many people imagine that the public institutions have no finan- cial worries, thanks to a steady flow of tax dollars. Yet they actually lead a perilous fiscal existence, dependent upon annual or biennial appropriations by legislatures. More than once, state and municipally supported institu- tions would have found themselves in serious straits if their alumni had not assumed a role of leadership. > A state university in New England recently was put in academic jeopardy because the legislature defeated a bill to provide increased salaries for faculty members. Then the university’s ‘‘Associate Alumni’’ took matters into their hands. They brought the facts of political and aca- demic life to the attention of alumni throughout the state, prompting them to write to their representatives in sup- port of higher faculty pay. A compromise bill was passed, and salary increases were granted. Alumni action thus. helped ease a crisis which threatened to do serious, per- haps ifreparable, damage to the university. >» Ina neighboring state, the public university receives only 38.3 per cent of its operating budget from state and federal appropriations. Ninety-one per cent of the uni- versity’s $17 million physical plant was provided by pri- ‘Lhe Beneficiaries: vate funds. Two years ago, graduates of its college of medicine gave $226,752 for a new medical center—the largest amount given by the alumni of any American medical school that year. > Several years ago the alumni of six state-supported institutions in a midwestern state rallied support for a $150 million bond issue for higher education, mental health, and welfare—an issue that required an amend- ment to the state constitution. Of four amendments on the ballot, it was the only one to pass. > In another midwestern state, action by an ‘“‘Alumni Council for Higher Education,’’ representing eighteen publicly supported institutions, has helped produce a $13 million increase in operating funds for 1959-61—the most significant increase ever voted for the state’s system of higher education. OME ALUMNI ORGANIZATIONS are forbidden to engage in political activity of any kind. The intent is a good one: to keep the organizations out of party politics Students on a state-university campus. Alumni support is proving invaluable in maintaining high-quality education at such institutions. and lobbying. But the effect is often to prohibit the alumni from conducting any organized legislative activity in be- half of publicly supported education in their states. **This is unfair,’ said a state-university alumni spokes- man recently, ““because this kind of activity is neither shady nor unnecessary. **But the restrictions—most of which I happen to think are nonsense—exist, nevertheless. Even so, individual alumni can make personal contacts with legislators in their home towns, if not at the State Capitol. Above all, in their contacts with fellow citizens—with people who influence public opinion—the alumni of state institutions must support their alma maters to an intense degree. They must make it their business to get straight information and spread it through their circles of influence. “Since the law forbids us to organize such support, every alumnus has to start this work, and continue it, on his own. This isn’t something that most people do natu- rally—but the education of their own sons and daughters rests on their becoming aroused and doing it.”’ WERNER WOLFF, BLACK STAR a matter of Principle NY WORTHWHILE INSTITUTION of higher education, A one college president has said, lives ‘‘in chronic tension with the society that supports it.” Says The Campus and the State, a 1959 survey of academic free- dom in which that president’s words appear: ‘‘New ideas always run the risk of offending entrenched interests within the community. If higher education is to be suc- cessful in its creative role it must be guaranteed some pro- tection against reprisal. . .”’ The peril most frequently is budgetary: the threat of appropriations cuts, if the unpopular ideas are not aban- doned; the real or imagined threat of a loss of public— even alumni—sympathy. Probably the best protection against the danger of reprisals against free institutions of learning is their alumni: alumni who understand the meaning of freedom and give their strong and informed support to matters of educational principle. Sometimes such support is avail- able in abundance and offered with intelligence. Some- times—almost always because of misconception or failure to be vigilant—it is not. For example: > An alumnus of one private college was a regular and heavy donor to the annual alumni fund. He was known to have provided handsomely for his alma mater in his will. But when he questioned his grandson, a student at the old school, he learned that an economics professor not only did not condemn, but actually discussed the necessity for, the national debt. Grandfather threatened to withdraw all support unless the professor ceased uttering such heresy or was fired. (The professor didn’t and wasn’t. The college is not yet certain where it stands in the gentleman’s will.) | > When no students from a certain county managed to meet the requirements for admission to a southwestern university’s medical school, the county’s angry delegate to the state legislature announced he was “‘out to get this guy”’—the vice president in charge of the university’s medical affairs, who had staunchly backed the medical school’s admissions committee. The board of trustees of the university, virtually all of whom were alumni, joined other alumni and the local chapter of the American Ideas Association of University Professors to rally successfully to the v.p.’s support. | > When the president of a publicly supported institu- tion recently said he would have to limit the number of students admitted to next fall’s freshman class if high academic standards were not to be compromised, some constituent-fearing legislators were wrathful. When the issue was explained to them, alumni backed the presi- dent’s position—decisively. > When a number of institutions (joined in December by President Eisenhower) opposed the ‘‘disclaimer affida- vit” required of students seeking loans under the National Defense Education Act, many citizens—including some alumni—assailed them for their stand against ‘‘swearing allegiance to the United States.’’ The fact is, the dis- claimer affidavit is not an oath of allegiance to the United States (which the Education Act also requires, but which the colleges have not opposed). Fortunately, alumni who took the trouble to find out what the affidavit really was apparently outnumbered, by a substantial majority, those who leaped before they looked. Coincidentally or not, most of the institutions opposing the disclaimer affidavit received more money from their alumni during the con- troversy than ever before in their history. N THE FUTURE, as in the past, educational institutions I worth their salt will be in the midst of controversy. Such is the nature of higher education: ideas are its merchandise, and ideas new and old are frequently con- troversial. An educational institution, indeed, may be doing its job badly if it is not involved in controversy, at times. If an alumnus never finds himself in disagreement with his alma mater, he has a right to question whether his alma mater is intellectually awake or dozing. To understand this is to understand the meaning of academic freedom and vitality. And, with such an under- standing, an alumnus is equipped to give his highest serv- ice to higher education; to give his support to the princi- ples which make-higher education free and effectual. If higher education is to prosper, it will need this kind of support from its alumni—tomorrow even more than in its gloriously stormy past. are the merchandise of education, and every worthwhile educational institution must provide and guard the conditions for breeding them. To do so, they need the help and vigilance of their alumni. ‘The Art ROLAND READ of keeping intellectually alive for a lifetime will be fostered more than ever by a growing alumni-alma mater relationship. Ahead: HITHER THE COURSE of the relationship between alumni and alma mater? At the turn into the Sixties, it is evident that a new and challenging relationship—of unprecedented value to both the institu- tion and its alumni—is developing. > If alumni wish, their intellectual voyage can be continued for a lifetime. There was a time when graduation was the end. You got your diploma, along with the right to place certain initials after your name; your hand was clasped for an instant by the president; and the institution’s business was done. If you were to keep yourself intellectually awake, the No-Doz would have to be self-administered. If you were to renew your acquaintance with literature or science, the introductions would have to be self-performed. Automotion is still the principal driving force. The years in school and college are designed to provide the push and then the momentum to keep you going with your mind. ‘‘Madam, we guarantee results,’ wrote a col- lege president to an inquiring mother, “‘—or we return the boy.”’ After graduation, the guarantee is yours to maintain, alone. Alone, but not quite. It makes little sense, many edu- cators say, for schools and colleges not to do whatever they can to protect their investment in their students— which is considerable, in terms of time, talents, and money—and not to try to make the relationship between alumni and their alma maters a two-way flow. As a consequence of such thinking, and of demands issuing from the former students themselves, alumni meetings of all types—local clubs, campus reunions—are taking on a new character. ‘“There has to be a reason and a purpose for a meeting,’ notes an alumna. ‘Groups that meet for purely social reasons don’t last long. Just be- cause Mary went to my college doesn’t mean I enjoy being with her socially—but I might well enjoy working with her in a serious intellectual project.’’ Male alumni agree; there is a limit to the congeniality that can be main- tained solely by the thin thread of reminiscences or small- talk. But there is no limit, among people with whom their a new Challenge. a new relationship education ‘‘stuck,” to the revitalizing effects of learning. The chemistry professor who is in town for a chemists’ conference and is invited to address the local chapter of the alumni association no longer feels he must talk about nothing more weighty than the beauty of the campus elms; his audience wants him to talk chemistry, and he is delighted to oblige. The engineers who return to school for their annual homecoming welcome the opportunity to bring themselves up to date on developments in and out of their specialty. Housewives back on the campus for reunions demand—and get—seminars and short-courses. But the wave of interest in enriching the intellectual content of alumni meetings may be only a beginning. With more leisure at their command, alumni will have the time (as they already have the inclination) to under- take more intensive, regular educational programs. If alumni demand them, new concepts in adult educa- tion may emerge. Urban colleges and universities may step up their offerings of programs designed especially for the alumni in their communities—not only their own alumni, but those of distant institutions. Unions and government and industry, already experimenting with graduate-education programs for their leaders, may find ways of giving sabbatical leaves on a widespread basis— and they may profit, in hard dollars-and-cents terms, from the results of such intellectual re-charging. Colleges and universities, already overburdened with teaching as well as other duties, will need help if such dreams are to come true. But help will be found if the - demand is insistent enough. > Alumni partnerships with their alma mater, in meeting ever-stiffer educational challenges, will grow even closer than they have been. Boards of overseers, visiting committees, and other partnerships between alumni and their institutions are proving, at many schools. colleges, and universities, to be channels through which the educators can keep in touch with the community at large and vice versa. Alumni trus- tees, elected by their fellow alumni, are found on the gov- erning boards of more and more institutions. Alumni ‘‘without portfolio” are seeking ways to join with their alma maters in advancing the cause of education. The representative of a West Coast university has noted the trend: “‘In selling memberships in our alumni associa- tion, we have learned that, while it’s wise to list the bene- fits of membership, what interests them most is how they can be of service to the university.”’ > Alumni can have a decisive role in maintaining high standards of education, even as enrollments increase at most schools and colleges. There is a real crisis in American education: the crisis of quality. For a variety of reasons, many institutions find themselves unable to keep their faculties staffed with high- caliber men and women. Many lack the equipment needed for study and research. Many, even in this age of high student population, are unable to attract the quality of student they desire. Many have been forced to dissipate their teaching and research energies, in deference to pub- lic demand for more and more extracurricular ‘‘services.”’ Many, besieged by applicants for admission, have had to yield to pressure and enroll students who are unqualified. Each of these problems has a direct bearing upon the quality of education in America. Each is a problem to which alumni can constructively address themselves, indi- vidually and in organized groups. Some can best be handled through community leader- ship: helping present the institutions’ case to the public. Some can be handled by direct participation in such ac- tivities as academic talent-scouting, in which many insti- tutions, both public and private, enlist the aid of their alumni in meeting with college-bound high school stu- dents in their cities and towns. Some can be handled by making more money available to the institutions—for faculty salaries, for scholarships, for buildings and equip- ment. Some can be handled through political action. The needs vary widely from institution to institution— and what may help one may actually set back another. Because of this, it is important to maintain a close liaison with the campus when undertaking such work. (Alumni offices everywhere will welcome inquiries. ) When the opportunity for aid does come—as it has in the past. and as it inevitably will in the years ahead— alumni response will be the key to America’s educational future, and to all that depends upon it. alumni- ship 4. MASEFIELD was addressing himself to the subject of universities. ‘“They give to the young in their impres- sionable years the bond of a lofty purpose shared,” he said; ‘‘of a great corporate life whose links will not be loosed until they die.” The links that unite alumni with each other and with their alma mater are difficult to define. But every alum- nus and alumna knows they exist, as surely as do the campus’s lofty spires and the ageless dedication of edu- cated men and women to the process of keeping them- selves and their children intellectually alive. Once one has caught the spirit of learning, of truth, of probing into the undiscovered and unknown—the spirit of his alma mater—one does not really lose it, for as long as one lives. As life proceeds, the daily mechanics of living—of job-holding, of family-rearing, of mortgage- paying, of lawn-cutting, of meal-cooking—sometimes are tedious. But for them who have known the spirit of intellectual adventure and conquest, there is the bond of the lofty purpose shared, of ‘the great corporate life whose links will not be loosed until they die. This would be the true meaning of alumni-ship, were there such a word. It is the reasoning behind the great service that alumni give to education. It is the reason alma maters can call upon their alumni for responsible support of all kinds, with confidence that the responsi- bility will be well met. ALUMN®%.

A Note to Mou “Personally ... LONG WITH all the well-stated foregoing suggestions of what you, the alumnus, can do for us, wed like to point briefly at what we hope WE’RE accomplishing for YOU. First, to weld Washington and Lee’s ten thousand living alumni into a group, through University- to-you contacts: our mailings, this magazine, our personal answers to your letters, reunions, Homecom- ing, and our standing invitations to come back to Lexington to see us and the college. The alumni as- association which conducts your business affairs is governed by a a board of trustees, elected by you and any alumnus who has matters of interest to be considered by the Association simply contacts any of these representatives. It is a respon- sibility and even a duty incumbent upon you to earnestly and consci- entiously seek capable and forceful representatives. ‘This magazine car- ries the nominees suggested by your committee after reviewing the can- didates whom you named. Second, to keep you informed about the University. This is done in several ways: through speakers from Washington and Lee to your chapter meetings; through pro- grams at the college, such as Tucker Law Lectures, seminars, and—when you come back to reunions—lectures by faculty members on pertinent subjects, bolstered by tours to new campus facilities. Our main con- tact, of course, is this magazine, which is sent free to all interested alumni, four or five times per year. We try to include in the magazine what we think interests you—news about each other, about chapter meetings, campus news, plus spe- cial articles on subjects which, in our opinion, warrant them. A few alumni complain that we “waste” space on academic and_= sports news—they’d rather not read about SPRING 1960 anything but alumni. Some criticize us for printing the class notes sec- tion in smaller type without real- izing the obvious reason—we can get more news in that space, and we think you'd rather have the extra class notes than have less of them in bigger print. And while we’re on the subject of class notes—we know it’s your favorite section of the book. So give us a helping hand and let us hear from you about your businesses, family, trips, hon- ors, and so forth. If we don’t get the word about you, we can’t print the word. The magazine is to be the lifeline from us to you. The Alumni Association is your representative, your ambassa- dor of good will at the University. It handles myriads of requests for information; it keeps a personal file on each one of you. It is the contact between you and the present under- graduates who soon will be joining the alumni ranks. It holds a yearly dinner for seniors, at which time the Alumni Association’s work and purpose is explained. It assists other departments at the University in facets of their work which involve you. It receives the profit from sale of the Washington and Lee chairs for building the scholarship fund in memory of John Graham, 14. It acts as your contact for hous- ing when you and your families come to Lexington. It performs many services of a personal nature, in response to your telephoned or written request. It’s your alumni association! We want to be of service to you, and we all have the same aim... to purpose ourselves “... for the bene- fit of Washington and Lee Univer- sity... to aid the University in any and all ways that may be deemed proper ...and keep the bond be- tween Washington and Lee Uni- versity and her alumni close and continuous,” (Continued from page 6) lina Utilities Commission to organize an accounting department.
