year the organization of twenty alumni clubs
throughout the country. Wo do not have the
finances for travel from place to place for such
organization, but wo are calling on individuals in

take the initiative and responsibility of organiz
ing clubs in their resj)ective sections or cities. We
will keej) in active touch by correspondence with

we can. 'Fhere nuty be times when he will be able
to visit the clubs in some sections, and there nuiy
be grouj)s that will be interested in having the

and assist any club or group for expenses only.
