The Next Step T is not too early for the Alumni Association to consider the question of an I Alumni Secretary, that major domo of all effective alumni associations and with• out whom substantial accomplishment is extremely difficult. As might be inferred from his title the Alumni Secretary is the executive sec• retary of the organization, the shop-manager of the plant. Preferably he is es• tablished at the college and though no integral part of the administration cooperates with it for the best interests of the alumni association. A wide range of service is covered by his office. He keeps the works oper• ating, carries out the assignments of the association and its officers, organizes alumni movements, stimulates alumni activities and interests, collects dues, keeps records, helps organize alumni clubs, encourages annual dinners, keeps in contact with classes, cooperates with them in planning reunions, has an important relationship to the alumni publication, directs the planning of Commencement from the grad• uates' standpoint, takes a proper interest in homecoming days in the autumn and in every other imaginable fashion fosters the growth of alumni interest. Obviously such an agent of the alumni association labors for something more than love. His is an important position which calls for superior talent and proved capacity. His selection involves the greatest care but the care is worth exercising. At most colleges blessed with an alumni secretary, he is regarded as indis• pensable. Once an alumni association gets on its feet the work of its direction be• comes too large to expect volunteers to carry it on as a sideline. The officers and / counsellors of an association may still determine policy, but its execution must be handed over to a paid agent. Gratifying as may be the progress of our own alumni association, it would be more so, if it were possible at once to create the office of alumni secretary and fill it capably. There are endless opportunities for extension work that must now be ignored that could be embraced if the association had an alumni secretary. The time for such an officer may not be now, but it is not remote. The next step is toward such an office. Dr. Reed's Reminiscences OTHIKG in the brief life of THE ALUMNUS has given it more satisfaction, N if as much, than the opportunity to present to its readers the reminiscences of a former president, the Rev. Dr. George Edward Reed, beginning in this number. It is the sort of feature commercial pub] ications would emblazen on billboards and theatres splash in electric lights. In his twenty-two years of administration of the college from 1899 to 1911, Dr. Reed was president to more living Dickinsonians than any executive of the college. His days at Dickinson were transition days and cover a very definite epoch in the life of the institution. To most readers much he will have to tell is ab• solutely new. Apart from such current interest as Dr. Reed's memoirs will have, they will be a valuable addition to the all too scant Dickinsoniana and it will be surprising if in due time some loyal alumnus does not make provision for their preservation in a book or other durable form. Dr. Reed's memory is a treasure house of important and interesting facts of his day and generation. He has been persuaded to draw upon them without stint. February, I925 THE DICKINSON ALU:\INUS 17

For inducing the former president to make this contribution, THE ALUMNUS does not wait to be congratulated. It frankly congratulates itself. Alumni Day Committee RESIDENT Appold's appointment of a committee on Alumni Day activities P indicates a new and proper effort of the General Alumni Association to stim• ulate graduate interest in an even more attractive type of Commencement. Like THE ALUMNUS, the newly appointed committee will probably have to feel its way. Failure is certain if it lacks the cooperation of the administration and the alumni, particularly the classes which are due for reunions. Happily such cooperation is in sight. Obviously the committee will avoid "offside" plays. It ought not attempt to interfere with class affairs. But without destroying the identity of these re• unions it can at least offer its services in making the reunions and other alumni day activities an attractive ensemble. Perhaps its greatest opportunity lies in further development of the costumed parade. This is non- and should continue to be the outstanding Alumni Day event. A more satisfactory time for the Pee-rade might be set. An effort to avoid conflicts with class luncheons would be desirable. The baseball game should be made subordinate to the Pee-rade, which hitherto has suffered by being rushed. Such "high-jinks" as occur at Biddle Field at the conclusion of the procession should be given ample time, even if it becomes necessary to abbreviate the baseball game, a contingency not likely to arise. But consider the alumni parade and not the baseball game as of first importance. By the appointment of a marshal the parade can be better organized and given better form. By making it easy more graduates will get into line. Each individual or group should display its numerals, provided for them if that be necessary. Of band music there should be no lack both in the parade and throughout the dav on the campus. The campus ought to be the headquarters of returning grads more than it has been. A band will help that. With the annual meeting of the association in the morning, campus luncheons, / the pee-rade in the afternoon, the fraternity banquets during the dinner hour, the eventide ought to fall with an assurance of a campus sing and other music that will entertain the Commencement visitor until bed-time. :N" othing of an official character should conflict with this evening event. These suggestions merit some consideration from the Alumni Day committee. Other suggestions ought to be made. It cannot hope to function as well without as with team-play from one end of the line to the other. The Alumni Association through this committee is endeavoring to make a contribution to the graduate body as well as to the college. It deserves the support and encouragement it is certain to get. Deserved Recognition HE Alumni Council's recognition of the contribution made to the 1924 Com• Tmencement by the girls of the Harrisburg Alumnae Club was appropriate. These women sponsored the tea garden cafeteria on the campus between West and East. The cafeteria in addition to giving solace to the inner man gave color and animation to the campus at a time when ordinarily that greensward looks drab and desolate. The same club also played hostess in other ways that entitle its mem• bers to the appreciation of returning graduates. If at all possible, the same idea ought to be executed this year. 18 THE DICKINSON ALUMNUS February, I92S Harrisburg Alumnae Plan New Activities The Dickinson Alumnae Association and the women faculty members at the of Harrisburg will joyously celebrate Woman's Club in Harrisburg. its first anniversary in a bridge party and Plans are being made for the mem• banquet to be held at the Penn-Harris bers of the Association to do even more Hotel, Harrisburg, on February 27, than was done last June at the coming when the nine charter members will see Commencement, and with the increased the fifty alumnae now comprising the membership the officers are confident organization. that much will be accomplished then.

February, 1925 THE DICKINSON ALUMNUS 21 Meet the Boys of '76-'86 Now and in June A part of the plan for the '76-'86 annual meeting at Commencement in June evolved by a committee headed by James R.

("Zeb") Linville, as noise maker, is for the boys of that decade and. all alumni to meet now through the columns of THE AI,U'.\1NUS, and thus "to know each other better" before shaking hands in Carlisle on the Old Stone Steps, Alumni Day, June 6, 1925. Letters were sent by the committee to every member of the '76-'86 group and from some of the responses received brief summaries of what the forty or more years have brought to these alumni are given in this number. Others will be printed in the ~lay number of the magazine. In sending the material, which the Editors have necessarily condensed, Dr. Bond has in some instances added a word of his own. The wonderful response the committee is receiving is promise enough that the '76-'86 gathering is likely to bold the limelight in the Commencement of 1925. A fine program will be arranged and there is every indication that this group of alumni will spend a royal time. 1876 be r of the General Assembly of Delaware and has been the author of numerous articles EMORY MORG.\N, Baltimore, took a year of in newspapers and magazines.
