This notice called attention to the very valuable services which had been rendered by Messrs. G. M. (Pup) Phillips and G. Everett Strupper in connection with the organization of Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, Inc. Messrs. Phillips and Strupper need no introduction to the major­ ity of the alumni and friends of Georgia School of Technology. Their outstanding achievements, while at Georgia Tech, are so well known as to require no mention here. They are still continuing their work and efforts in the interests of Georgia Tech, and have been successful in securing insurance policies to the extent of approximately $100,000., the principal of which, in some instances, is payable directly to the Alumni Foundation, and, in other instances, the dividends from such policies are payable to the Foundation. At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees of Georgia Tech Alunni Foundation, Inc., held in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 14, 1932, by unanimous vote it was agreed to endorse the efforts of Messrs. Phillips and Strupper and request all alumni, undergraduates and friends of Georgia Tech to cooperate with them in every way possible. Messrs. Phillips and Strupper are representatives of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, and, of course, expect to profit to the same extent any other insurance agent would profit by the sale of insurance. They have spent considerable sums of money and a great deal of effort and time in contacting the various alumni associations throughout the country, and we feel sure every consideration will be given them, both by the various associations and the individuals. We urgently request you to assist them in every way possible. (SIGNED) Y.F.Freeman G. T. Marchmont W. H. Glenn Frank H. Neely Floyd W. McRae Robt.
