The Kappa Alpha social order, The Oiuicron Delta Kappa leadership fraternity, The Association of American Uni versity Professors, The Sigma Upsilon literary fratern ity, etc. President of Clio Lit.

Restorer and Editor of Virginia Gazette, oldest Southern newspaper, etc. Now Professor of English and Director of the Division of Extension. University of South Carolina. Speaker, editorial and magazine writ er, etc. Editor Maroon and Gold: > 1 write to lend my whole-hearted and enthusiastic endorsement to an article relative to the work of the Alumni Association by Dr. Boone, which the Maroon and Gold carried in its columns a few days ago. It was a most op portune and interesting article, and I hope it has arrested the attention of other members as it did mine. I should not like to be misunder stood as attacking the Alumni Associa tion, because I realize that in some re spects it has functioned most admir ably. and that it has done some magni ficent work. But it does seem to me that the association is in some respects iiieffectual and inoperative, and I say that with the full consciousness that |1 am perhaps the worst member in the I whole crowd. Aji alumni organization ought to be a unified, profit-sharing and co-operative body; it cannot be conceived as exist ing for itself alone. What the trouble with the Elon Alumni Association, if there is any trouble, I do not know; others nearer by will doubtless have opinions. From a distance, however, it looks as if the association and the col lege are too insulated, that they are maintained aud operated apart, with a certain degree of aloofness and a re servation of confi^dence and trust. Now an alumni organization is no better than the college which brought il into being, and it is difficult for a college to rise without the supporting aid of its alumni. It is hard to see hoTv they can be operated as two separate and distinct organizations. Progress can come only out of mutual helpfulness, mutual confidence, and mutual information. Elon has made and is making extra ordinary progress. It deserves the confidence and even the admiration of its alumni body, and 1 personally should like to see a clo-ser co-ordination be tween the two. I am ready to reform if Lucille Johnston will forgive me, and there are no doubt many others on the unregenerate list for the same reason as I am; absorption in other things and lack of information about the work of the association. I enjoyed the article by Dr. Boone and endorse it, but I realize that the endorsement of one man means little. Let’s see what can be done. Yours very respectfully, H. Babcock, We are all glad that Dr. H. Babcock, of the University of South Carolina, has seen fit to write an article for this column.
