1-'he following paragraphs ~ lr e an informal report to the alumni.

The many friends of Effie Brant Evans ( lvII's. Robert D. Evans), Class of 1918, were shocked and saddened by the news of her untimely death on June 10, 19+8. :\Irs. Evans served as a member of the Board of Directors since 19+2. As a Director and as a civic leader she contributed generou,lr to U rsi nus College and to the community. I n her passing U rsinus has suffered a real loss.

'Ve arc be~inning the seventy-ninth academic year with a student-body even larger than last ye~lr and with the confident hope that this year will be the best year in our history. We plan to admit 250 Freshmen in September, 19+9. We regret very much that the shortage of housing makes it neces­ sary for LIS to refuse admission to many desirable students. 1-'hose who plan to apply for admission should write the Registrar at once. 1 "' his year, as usual, there are few changes in the Faculty. Professor 1\Iartin W . '¥itmer, who after twenty-seven years at Ursinus became Professo r Emeritus in June, 19+7, returned last year to teach one course. All who know Professo r 'Vitmer are grateful to him for his fine contribution to Ursinus. No other teacher of professorial rank has left Ursinus this year. 'Ve are especialy glad to welcome to the Faculty Dr. Cornelius 'Veygandt, of the University of Pennsylvania, as Visiting Pro­ fe sso r of English, Dr. Walter B. Ross as Associate Professor of History, and :\Iiss l\Iaribelle 'Valdo as Assistant Professor of Physical Education. In recent years the work of Ursinus has been greatly helped by the gifts of alumni and other friends. During the years 19++, 19+5 , and 19+6, the Board of Directors, with the aid of alumni and many others, completed the Seventy-fifth Anniversary Fund of $150,000. This sum was used to reduce the funded debt and to increase the women's building fund and the permanent endowment funds. In the fiscal years that ended June 30, 19+7 and June 30, 19+8, the gifts and bequests reached the total of approximtaely $1 +0,000. The Board of Directors plans within the next three years to add to the permanent endowment funds the sum of $250,000. The Board plans to accomplish this by seek­ ing gifts from the alumni in the amount of $100,000 and from other friends of Ursinus College in the amount of $150,000. On July 2+, 19+8, the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association voted to raise, with the help of the Board of Directors, $ 100,000 of this total, with the understanding that this sum be known permanently as "The Alumni l\i(emorial Scholarship Fund," and that the income be used to provide scholarship grants for students. This action of the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association seems to me altogether praise­ worthy. 1"he l\Iemorial, similar to those planned by many colleges and universities, is appropriate. It will be permanent. It will at once supply a vel')' real need. The goal that the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association has set is an attainable goal. We must reach it. I believe that every alumnus will wish to help. N. E. MCCLURE. September 18, 1948

That seems like a large number, doesn't it? But although our college grows, it still manages somehow to be a friendly, cheerful place-a happy part of a con­ genial town. \Ve have added new build­ ings like the gymnasium, the Fetterolf House for men, and a maintenance build­ ing. And now we understa nd there is a new grandstand to be erected on the north edge of the football field that will accommodate 1000 adJitional spectators. That's happy news for old timers who like to return for football games. It is always splendid, I think, to find men who are connected with the college taking part in the activities of the town. \\Thile it would be very easy for the col­ lege folks to wrap themselves up in their own little world, it makes for harmoni­ ous living if the college people are truly members of the town, too. I was ex­ Allother view 0/ the new Gym. I(s flot Surplus Property flOW . tremely interested to find that many of our U rsinus men are taking part in town affairs. For instance, Dr. George Hart­ zell is the borough sec retary. Dr. Rus­ sell Sturgis and Prof. ~Iartin Witmer are members of the Collegeville-Trappe School Board. Mr. William Pettit is the chairman of the Collegeville Board of Health. Dr. Eugene Miller is chair­ man of the town's Zoning Commission. That's a few of which I know at pres­ ent, but names of the college men appear constantly in the town paper, working for the town in one capacity or another. J t is interesting to note, too, that sev­ eral Ursinus graduates who live here in town hold important positions. Joel Francis, '28, is a member of the School Board; Paul Levengood, '35, is president of the local Lion's Club; Bill Grove, '38, is president of the Collegeville Ath­ letic Association; and Lou Krug, '37, is heading the local Red Cross Drive.

16 URSIN us COLLEGE BULLETI" New College Position Open

Candidate Sought for Job of General Alumni Secretary and Director of Public Relations

The attention of all Alumni is directed to the fact that as a result of the cooperative efforts of Committees representing the Board of Trustees of the College and the General Alumni Association, a plan has been worked out under which a new position in the Administrative Department of the Col­ lege has been created. After months of study and following a number of discussions within the Joint Committee, the plan was formulated and presented to the respective parent bodies of the Committees. Both the Col­ lege and the Alumni Association ha ve approved the plan and candidates for the position are now being sought. While no detailed list of duties can be set down, the Committees have generally concluded that the person to be appointed will assume charge and control of the central alumni records and will work closely with the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association in an effort to bring about greater interest in the Association among all graduates of the College.

It is thought that the General Alumni Secretary mightJ from time to time, visit various sectors where a number of graduates are concentrated and try to create or reactivate local Alumni groups. I n a word, the appointee's duty with respect to Alumni will be one aimed at the stimulation of interest and the integration of as many graduates as possible into a closely knit active organization.

[n addition to his interest in Alumni activities, the appointee will work closely with the officers of the College directing his efforts mainly toward the development of the best public relations pos­ sible. This will include, but will not be limited to, the development of contacts in the newspaper field and other propaganda media which might result, over a period of time, in giving U rsinus the degree and quality of publicity which, because of its achievements in the scholastic lines of American Colleges, it properly deserves.

The handling of visitors on the campus will also be another function of the holder of this new position. He will serve as consultant for the officers of the College in their contacts with the public and will always have to be alert to the needs of the College as they relate to that public.

i\Iuch of the success and benefits which the Committees feel might grow out of the proper handl­ ing of this position will depend upon the energy and initiative of the person chosen. It is believed that a male graduate between the ages of thirty and fifty might be best qualified to handle the job. However, the Committees strongly urge that all persons interested should brieRy communicate their qualifications to U rsinus College, Box No. 25 1, Collegeville, Pennsylvania.
