FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

"Y\/HAT Should a University Expect from Its Alumni?" This moot question will be the keynote of the Ninth Annual Convention of the Cornell Alumni Corporation, to be held in Washington, D. C, November 30 to December 1. Not only is the university to pre- sent and discuss its point of view at the Washington meeting, but the alumni, also, are to have an inning in which to present their ideas about the matter. The re- Alma Mater and Its suits of the conference of the administrative officers, alumni workers, Sons and Daughters and graduates of this well-known Eastern school are to be given wide publicity and will attract the attention of college people generally. There doubtless are university heads and administrative deans who regard—with some measure of justification—a small portion of the college product as "pestiferous alumni.'" There are many graduates who feel that, in the opinion of Alma Mater, the one important function of alumni is to give money to their university. Some outsiders profess to feel that college gradu- ates have little intelligent interest in educational matters except in intercollegiate athletics and that the interest there is often none too intelligent. These and other divergent points of view will be subjected to critical study and an effort will be made to reconcile them, or if im- plied criticisms are found to be generally well-founded and applicable to representative groups, an effort will be made to change the conditions giving rise to the criticisms.

TN ADVANCE of the study to be made at Washington by the Cornellians, the Alumni Secretary at Ohio University has been doing a bit of thinking on his own responsibility, 1 with the result that some suggestions are offered to his "constituents '' with a prayerful hope that they will be given earnest consideration, adopted, and, insofar as possible, be put into ef- fect during the current school year. The suggestions are in answer to A 'Worthwhile the recent inquiry of a Portsmouth, Ohio, alumnus who asked, "What Alumni Program May Ohio University Alumni Do for Their Alma Mater?''' They are made more particularly for groups of Ohio University alumni rather than for widely separated individuals, although the latter, if conscientiously desiring to do so, may find outlined in them courses of action adaptable to limited means and individual activity.

First. The easiest and most natural thing for Ohio University alumni to do is to effect a social organisation. Socially congenial and active bodies attract the attention of communi- ties, and create a favorable impression of the University. A well developed social program calls for at least two meetings a year, each, if possible, of a different character. Second. An alumni group can help the University by creating and furthering a favor- able publicity. It should let the editors of local newspapers know how many alumni are in its district and that the use of items about the University will be appreciated. (The Ohio Uni- versity News Bureau maintained by the department of Journalism issues regular semi-weekly bulletins for newspaper use.) In connection with the publicity idea, an alumni group can sponsor the appearance in its community of one or more of the campus musical or dramatic organisations, such as the varsity male quartet, the men's and women's glee clubs, university orchestra, university band, or the musical comedy and dramatic productions. In addition, and, if possible, arrangements should be made for one of the members of the group to appear before local and neighboring high schools at one of the periodical convocations to talk briefly concerning his Alma Mater and to exhibit a set of slides showing campus scenes, interesting undergraduate activities, and pictures of outstanding members of the university faculty. Such a set of pictures will soon be available upon application to the Alumni Office. If appearances at high school convocations are impossible, the alumni group could arrange for a meeting to which high school seniors would be invited as special guests. In any case, definite and active efforts should be made to encourage the best high school scholars and athletes to matriculate in Ohio University. Third. A group of Ohio University men and women should be active in the encourage- NOVEMBER, 1928 7

ment of scholarship on the part of students generally in the secondary schools of the communi' ty. As an aid to the accomplishment of this aim scholarship prizes or medals could be offer- ed through school officials in the name of the alumni group. The medals or prizes should be open for general competition, and an acceptance should carry with it no obligattion to con- sider Ohio University for future college work. A somewhat similar encouragement to schob arship would be the awarding of Scholarship Certificates (neatly printed certificates attest' ing to the scholastic ability of the recipient in his high school work) to be given in the name of the alumni group. The Alumni Office will provide such certificates if a sufficient number of requests for them are received. A third, and most practical, recognition of academic pro' ficiency would be the establishment of annual scholarships to cover the first year's registration fees, $80.00, at Ohio University. Many of our alumni chapters are large enough that the funds for one such scholarship could easily be raised and given each year to an outstanding senior. Fourth. By assisting and cooperating with the general alumni association in carrying out the normal functions and duties of the organization, an alumni group can render a genuine service to Alma Mater, for whatever helps the association will help the university. In these days practically all central alumni offices are organized with a view to lending support to and furthering the interests of the universities as well as to serving constituent bodies of graduates. In backing up the association, a local group should aid the central office in main' taining correct address lists and other records, and should encourage individuals in the group to affiliate with the association in active membership.

Fifth. By fair but tactful means all alumni, when possible, should cultivate the friendly good will of state legislators in home districts. State universities, such as Ohio University, are dependent largely upon the funds which are voted them by the legislature in biennial ses' sions. Not only should state senators and representatives be "cultivated" in the interest of a particular school, but in the interest of all state schools as well. Lastly. Ohio University alumni should maintain an active interest in community or civic affairs—particularly, though not wholly, in educational matters. University men and women who have been educated at the hands of the state owe a return to it in the way of leadership.

'* A S AN advertising medium, alone, a stadium at Ohio will be a worthwhile project. At the present time, and even during the past four years, Ohio athletic teams have set a fast pace in the realm of Buckeye competition and have rapidly risen to a position of promi' nence. Yet, inevitably, the Bobcats have been 'just outside the wire/ apparently lacking that bit of reserve, those few additional men to stop the gap where the hole 7\[ew Stadium Will loomed largest. "Athletic officials here have made every legitimate ef' Boost Athletics fort to obtain more of those stars that are the delight of every freshman football coach, but they were sorely handicapped. A department store may distribute handbills and reach many of the small buying populace, but it is the electric spectacular that stops the big buyer in his mad rush through a metropolis.

"Our stadium is our electric spectacular. The best of high school stars, men who are sought after by many universities, are naturally attracted by the glamor of a magnificent foot' ball field. Fortified with the best of athletic plants, coaches and athletic directors find the so' lution to their annual problem. "Let us not forget for a moment, those individuals who have so zealously worked toward the attainment of this objective; who met opposition with a confidence based on desire to pro' gress; who worked with this motto before them: 'A Great University Striving to be Greater." The foregoing paragraphs are quoted from an editorial appearing in a recent issue of the Green and White. To those, however, who feel that stadium enthusiasm is a mark of decadence, we would like to remark that, all reports to the contrary, we believe that most young college men and women still possess a reasonably fair sense of values, for at Ohio University, at least, the stU' dents will tell you in glowing terms and with equal satisfaction, of the significance to the campus of the coming of Phi Beta Kappa, of the wonderful opportunities for cultural devel' opment offered by the Alumni Memorial Auditorium, or of the plans for the new athletic plant. — —
