One of the most important functions of the Alu11~ 11i Magazine is to keep the alumni of Southwestern in touch with each other. The class-correspondent plan makes it . possible for alumni to renew the ties of college friendships, since the members of each class are expected to keep in touch with the class correspondent, reporting any items of interest about themselves or their classmates. From the letters received from the members of his class, the correspondent writes the class letter for the Alumni Maga­ zine. It is the part of the members of each class to keep the correspondent supplied with material for the class letter. Don't leave your affairs to the imagination of your class correspondent.
