October 6," 1927. MAROON AND GOLD Page Three A-L-U-M-N-I N-O-r-E-S P. J. CARLTON oilier friends. It is a real treat to mix witli old fj'ieiiils and yell again for Maroon and Gold. As Chairman of the Athletic Com mittee for the Alumni Association, I want to urge you to do your part in every way po'ssible to help your Alma Atater to not only hold its present posi tion but to continue to climb rung by rung until it is second to none in our State. I have full confidence in you, rny fellow Alumni, and shall expect your full co-operation with the Athletic Committee. I am, M. W. ]\IcPherson, Chairman. Committee: M. W. McPherson, Chairman. Geo. I). Colclough, Secy.-Treas. W. H. May, W. G. Stoner, John C. Whitesell. REPLY TO PRES. W. H. BOONE I liave read the statement of Dr. W. i, Boone in tlie Maroon and Gold i)i egards to ouj- alunnii and he c:-rtainly as Vsit the spot, it seems to me. I liope 1 at the alumni will make a'liearty re- ponse to his suggestions. The best way for the alnmni to culti- nte their interest in and loyalty to he college is to organize into local as- ociations, as T)r. Boone suggests; and e, is right in snying tliat tiiese local ssooiations should elect representatives :» a General Council wl i'-h should meet t conuncncenient and lie the legislative cdy for the alumni body as such. It 5 hardly wise fcr the handful of alum- wlio can attend conimencement, to other with tlie relatively large number f those Avho live nearby and attend, ) be the legislative boly for the w'hole ody of the alumni. The representative lethod is truly American ;iud 1 am lad that Dr. Boone has sugg‘steil it. As an alunmus and as n trustee, I eel very keenly over this matter. The ollege has done a good part by the lumni, and we alumni shot’” do n good art bv the college. We should boost r on every occasion. We should send itudents to it. We should patronize it urselves. We should give it money. I v^e should do all we can to promote it '1 every way. Alumni should take the I ame interest in the college that a evout son feels in his parents, in his Id home. 1 am gratified, too, over the report of ne good opening. It is better to have few more than four luindred students nan to have a few less. 1 certainly ?el that a good work has been done nd that a pro'sperous year awaits us nd that we have turned a great corner. In closing, let me say again that Dr. ;oone has hit the spot in his recom- lendations as president, and that the lumni made no mistake in choosing im to be their leader. Yours very truly, P. J. Carlton. A LETTER FROM “MICKEY” Sept. 9, 1927. Ponce. Porto Rico.
