ST. AUGUSTINE’S RECORD 3 ALUMNI NOTES A Message from the President of the Alumni Association I^par Fellow Aluiuims; At tlio Alumni meeting in June last I was elected President of tlie Association. I accepted tlie office with tlio nnderstanding that every Alum nus would support the effort of the Executive Committee in formulating a workable piogram. The sympathy of the Alumni is needed more at thi.s time than at any other time in the history of the College, on account of the changing eco uomic situation. The men and women who have gone fiom St. Augustine’s have contributed their share^ to the N'ation’s uplift, for in every section of this great country we find them engaging in sundry pur suits, and holding high the banner of our Alma Mater. Our Association has a great task ahead, ^ut this task cannot be accomplished without the co-operation of every meuLber. In a few weeks I am going to mail a letter to every Alumnus. In the replies which I hope to receive I am asking for suggestions. The Execu tive Committee of the Association will then e able to work out a definite program which will I'epresent the views of the majority of those w lo answer my letter.
