UNIVERSITY ALUMNI TO mi DURING HOLIDAYS Formation of Hertford-Gates Association Will Be Con sidered Then The University alumni of Hert ford and Gates counties will hold a joint meeting and banquet at Winton sometime during the Christmas hol idays according to reports reaching here. There is not sufficient number of University men in either county for a large gathering. In the past there has been no local alumni in either of the counties, and at this projected gathering the wisdom of forming a joint association will be considered. The Alumni who are interested in arranging for this initial meeting are Stanley Winborne, Murfreesboro, T. A. Eure, Winton, Jno. 0. Askew, Jr. Harrellsville, and P. E. Hoflei and J. M. Glenn of Gatesville. This com mittee plans to hold S meeting at an early date to work out the details of the program for the banquet. The students from the two counties now at Chapel Hill will also attend the gathering. Gatherings of University alumni will also be held in the other coun ties throughout North Carolina dur ing the Christmas holidays. Arrange ments for 3l' meetings have already been made in the Eastern part of the State. The interest is equally as fyeen in the Western sction and it is ex pected that equally as large num ber of meetings will be held there, making a total of seventy?with a total attendance of more than three thousand. The activity among the University alumni comes in response to the es tablishment a few months ago of a Central Secretary's office for the General Association. This position is being filled by Daniel L. Grant df Chapel Hill. The other officers of tne Association ?re Walter Murphy of Salisbury, Charles L. Weil of Greens boro and Robert M. Wright, Green vile. The University has a total of more than 11,000 living alumni which have not formerly been knit closely to gether into an association. It is to foster this work, and to support the institution in its great work for the state that the great amount of inter est is at present being manifested. 1 THERE IS GOING TO BE an old person dependent npon y > some day.
