January 4, 192.7 Dear Alumni: The Executive Committee is hopeful that the coming year may mark the beginning of a new spirit of activity and service on the part of the Alumni Association. In the past we have been handicapped somewhat by our small numbers and lack of a constructive program. The large increase in numbers in recent years, the fact that our alumni more and more are occupying positions of responsibility and leadership, par­ ticularly in the educational field, and the present importance and acute­ ness of our educational problems all combine in presenting an oppor­ tunity for service to our Alma Mater and our state. The alumni of the Greater University played no small part in 1920 in securing the passage of the initiative measures providing for the maintenance and building program of the University. As you probably know, the mill tax for maintenance expires in 1930. A new initiative or referendum measure will no doubt be voted upon in 1928. This association should be organized to cooperate effectively in assuring the passage of that measure. Our interest should likewise extend to the public schools of the state and cooperation in the solution of their im­ portant problem of equalizing the tax burden in providing elementary education throughout the state. We are glad to report that a number of local alumni clubs have been organized recently in some of the larger cities of the state. We hope that other such clubs may be organized during the coming year and we propose to present a plan at our next annual meetng for affilia­ tion of local clubs with this association. We wish also to call your attention at this time to the 1927 Home­ coming. According to present plans it will be held at the time of the Montana-Washington game at Missoula, on October 15—the first time the University of Washington has played on the Montana field. De­ tailed announcements will be made later, but we can assure you now that it will be the greatest alumni event held thus far in the history of the University. Those of you who have not already done so can cooperate most effectively at present by sending in your alumni dues and subscription to the Alumnus. If we can obtain 1000 paid up subscriptions we can secure some national advertising through the organization of alumni associations. This will help materially in defraying the cost of our pub­ lication and enable the editor to increase its size and still further im­ prove its quality. We hope that 1927 may be a happy and prosperous year for all Montana alumni as well as for the association. Sincerely yours, W. J. (BILL) JAMESON, President. CHARLES M.

Dixon Endowment The Law School and the State is very largely indebted to Mrs. W. W. Dixon for its excellent library. It is also indebted to her for the mainten­ ance of one professorship. At the time the Law School was established Mrs. Dixon donated to it the library of her deceased husband and also provided it with sufficient funds to purchase the library of Col, T. C. Marshall. On Mrs. Dixon’s death she left to the Law School a sufficient endowment to found and maintain the William Wirt Dixon professorship of law.
