That’s the big trouble with college reunions. They bring home the fact that time passes awfully fast! Let’s look ahead. As a husband and father you can look ahead with greater confidence once you have talked life insurance with a Connecticut Mutual Life man. Reason: A CML man can tell you how much and what kind of life insurance will provide exactly what you want for your wife and children. He’ll ask you what you and your family need, and when, and then recommend a plan to provide the funds. This skilled professional work he does without cost or obligation. Many a client of a CML agent has been delighted at what was done to stretch his present life insurance, to make it provide more money for the right purposes at the right times without increasing the cost one cent! Why not call on a CML man for this service? Dividends paid to policyholders for 116 years Owned by its policyholders, CML provides high quality life insurance at low cost and gives personal service through more than 300 offices in the United States. onnecticut Mutual Life INSURANCE COMPANY • HARTFORD Your fellow alumni now with CML Lawrence G.

Russell Woolley ’41 represents. It reinforces intentions and actions of the associated Associate Editor Ronald K. Devine ’55 A former students. Class Notes Editor Margaret M. Mollison ’50 The function of this periodical we call The Maine Alumnus Assistant Class follows, therefore, three general purposes: To present news, to Notes Editor Mildred (Brown ’25) Schrumpf reflect University views and to report alumni plans and actions GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION in support of the institution. There are several ways to accomplish these ends. Our publication could Officers present limited or slanted news. It could propagandize one-sidedly for the President Alvin S. McNeilly ’44 University. It could give only restricted and unfair reports about a certain 1st Vice President George A. Potter ’20 few alumni, chosen arbitrarily. 2nd Vice President Mrs. Winona C. Sawyer ’43 Or, conversely, it could present objectively the news and views of Clerk James A. Harmon ’40 the University and its various spokesmen and alumni, letting the chips fall Treasurer Harry T. Treworgy ’49 where they may. Executive Director T. Russell Woolley ’41 We hope you feel The Alumnus follows the latter course. We hope Ass’t Exec. Director Margaret M. Mollison ’50 you find evidence that our alumni magazine is making a sincere effort to achieve the objectives outlined above. Alumni Trustees The question of editorial slant will normally be answered by an attempt Charles E. Crossland ’17 to expose the good side of the University. Courage to be critical of policies Mrs. Rena C. Bowles ’21 not immediately popular is desirable, though it should be tempered by judgments that help preserve a “good image” of the institution and develop Alumni Council favorable “public relations.” Mrs. Winifred C. Anderson ’35 However, honesty and strict dealing with truth in all ways Frank C. Brown ’30 must be the prime responsibility of such a magazine, as it is of the Henry T. Carey ’22 university it serves. Your alumni magazine, above all else, must Maxwell B. Carter, Jr. ’44 be truthful, if it is to be a respected spokesman of those it repre Marion Cooper ’27 sents. George F. Dow ’27 It is an objective of The Alumnus to report what the Alumni Associa Arthur T. Forrestall ’33 tion is planning and doing, and thus to involve more alumni in joining John F. Grant ’48 others to achieve the united action believed to be directed toward the wel M. Eleanor Jackson ’20 fare of the University. Activities of the classes, local association work, Parker F. Leonard ’50 committee projects and fund raising are important matters to be reported Alfred B. Lingley ’20 between the covers of The Alumnus. Frank W. Linnell ’29 We who are concerned with the production of The Alumnus feel it Clifford G. McIntire ’30 should achieve a dual goal. We believe it should be informational and in Robert B. McLeary ’42 spirational. Alumni readers can helpfully resolve to assist us in our efforts Robert W. Nelson ’45 by sending us information of general interest and by commenting on the Albert S. Noyes ’24 contents of our issues. Carlton B. Payson ’41 Our readers can also assist by telling us what they think should appear Michael Pilot ’21 in their magazine. Would a section by the president of the University be Mrs. Barbara L. Raymond ’37 of interest? Would a section of letters from readers be an added attrac Robert P. Schoppe ’38 tion? Would more features about current University problems and various Stanwood R. Searles ’34 interpretations of these be of interest? Should the magazine try to present Edward C. Sherry ’38 feature stories about more of the University’s outstandingly successful Norma J. Smaha ’54 former students? Should there be a continuing educational and cultural' purpose in feature presentations? , These are some of the questions your editors continually face and hope you will help to answer by your comments. TABLE OF CONTENTS So, if The Alumnus is to achieve the objectives its editors have outlined What kind of University do I want? 6 for it, it will take a continuing effort and interest on the part of its alumni Maine tackles the future 7-10 readers. Your editors are determined that The Alumnus will shoulder a Around campus 14-15 distinct amount of responsibility for advancement of the University.
