A PLAN FOR THE REORGANIZATION
OP THE ALUMNI OP THE UNIVER
SITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
; The Present Status
1. At present the Alumni have or
ganized and are organizing into local
Associations. In enthusiasm and
willingness to do. Jheir t part nothing
more;1 could be desired, but in definite
activities the. Associations have ad
vanced not far beyond the social gath
ering" of University Day- and support
of certain Scholarships at the Quiver
. SltY. neiOIU and timc v thono-h thsp
are. There is potential energy in
these Associations which should be
directed to more definite accomplish
.. ments. - , i J ; : i s , ! '
2. The General Association "of the
Alumni at present is a loose organiza
iiou wnnoui reiationsnip ; wnatsoever
to the Local Association. It meetss
once a year at Alumni Luncheon held
in Commons . Hall during commence
ment, hears a brief report from the
President of the University, appoints
. a toastmaster ' and listens to many
speeches serious and entertaining, ar
rousing much enthusiasm, signs, its
.-.names in the Visitors' a Register' and
adjourns until next commencement.
Much wise council has been forth com
ing from these banquets and "achieve?
ment of no small r!ii1ti ac tVi KnjM.
ing , of Memorial Hall and Alumni
1 i all bear evidence j ust ; enough j to
show splendid possibilities in a body of
this kind, thoroughly organized and
working on business principles. Can
G tieral Association of the Alum
ni be organized in a more compact
body with definite functions and spe
cific activities?
A Plan Proposed
1. That there be a General Assem
bly of the Alumni to convene in Ger
rard Hall, Monday of Commencement
week, 1911., That this General As
sembly be composed Gf delegates from
the local Associations having the right
of voting according to a fair basis of
representation e. g:
associations or Dei ween -(--

"orr any other reasonable basis of rep
representation; , alumni not affiliated
with any local Assocciation to have
tthe privilege of the floor but not the
right of voting.
This General Assembly at that meet
ing shall elect a temporary Chairman
1 and Secretary and then at once proceed
to the election of an ALUMNI COUN
CIL to be composed of raemien
C'Councilmen"), one of whomshail be
appointed by the President of the Uni
versity from the Faculty, A relative
ly Small number of Councjlthen should
be retired automatically each year and
their places filled by newly elected men
a well known device 'which insures
continuity and consistency of policy
while it provides against over conserva
tion.
This Alumni Council shall elect its
own officers, a President, a Secretary,
and a Treasurer, who shall be also the
permanent officers of the General As
sembly until next election.
The Alumni Council shall manage
all the business of the General Assem
bly of the Alumni; it should have the
power of initiation of policies independ
ent of instructions; the power to raise
invest, and appropriate all funds;
charge of the organization and direct
ion of the Local Associations; of the
publication of a magazine to be known
asThs University of North Carolina
Alumni Monthly; the care of collecting
historical and biographical data con
cerning the Alumni , of disseminating
knowledge which involves the good of
the University; and other functions
such as will suggest themselves.
2. For the Local Associations, the
outline of their activities is intended
to be only suggestive. They should
be left to formulate their own machi-
'i '.''' rr i
nery ot organization. mey are
to elect their respective delegates
to the General Assembly and in
struct them, if need be, to express m
the General Assembly the sense of their
Association on questions of vital inter
est to the University and its Alumni.
The secretaries of the Associations
should be the- correspondents of The
Alumni Monthly, keeping accurate
records of all matters of interest per
taining to members of their Associa
tions. Each Association should guar
antee so many subscriptions to The
Alumni Monthly.
The plan of supporting a scholar
ship at the University if all such schol
arships were made competitive, the ex
aminations for the award of them to
bejieikf 6tt aspVific Iday Turider the
County or State Board of "Examiners.
fhe Association would find its inter
est in this matter on the increase if it
required from its student regular re
ports of studies and progress, and his
presence at certain meetings of the As-
sociation in other words, took personal
interest in him. Through him the As
sociation voiild be in touch with the
University in a very live way. V
One (word about this. ; Careful
thought will bring conviction that the
most effective instrument for, welding
our great body; of Alumni into a well-
organized militant army would be a
ive monthly paper. A ; prospectus of
such a jmagazine. modeled after the
Yale Alumni Weekly, and an estimate
of the cost of publication have been
carefully prepared, and will belaid be-
bre the General Assembly of the Al
umni at its first meeting. With a mail
ing list of over 3500 Alumni, a board
of editors ready and willing to edit it
without salary, and forty correspond
ents already in the field, such a paper
should prove a financial success. As
a bond between University men, a me
dium of expression to the public ; at
arge, an agent for advertising the Uni
versity, it should prove of supremest
value. ',-.
We commit this paper to the Assem
bly with the request that definite rec-
omendations on it be returned to the
Committee.
