The Alumni Home Office
One of the busiest departments at the University is the alumni office. Here Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, Dick Wintermote and Mildred Clodfelter, assistant alumni secretaries, and an office staff of five persons work to keep thousands of KU graduates informed of the happenings and progress on Mt. Oread.
Hundreds of letters a week, a monthly bulletin called the KU Newsletter, and the official University Alumni magazine help the office keep old grads up on what's going on at the University.
Also in the office is a collection of interesting relics and curiosities of memorable sporting and other events in Kansas history.
The alumni office is the official headquarters for graduates during homecoming and has charge of Statewide Activities and all activities of each senior class. Assistant alumni secretary Wintermote works in conjunction with each year's senior class president in laying plans for activities.
