School Traditions Keep Alive Spirit of Old Graduates
Personal News Is Requisite
Says Alumni President
at Senior Class
Meeting
"The task that the Alumni Association has taken upon itself is to keep alive the old school spirit in the lives of those who have gone into the world," Fred Harris, A. B. 98, president of the alumnae club, during the meeting of the senior class, last night. "There comes a time when you return to your Alma Mater and as you walk over the campus not a single familiar face appears. You find that you are no longer a longer a part of the campus." The Alumni Association keeps alive in you the old tradition."
The little personal news of members of the class means nothing to the senor of today, he pointed out but in the years to come when "these same students have gone out into the world and around the bend in the road to find us," it is this time that the publications of the association bring the graduate.
The report of the memorial committee contains four suggestions for a memorial to be left by the class: first, a memorial tablet for the new Union building which would contain the names of the 120 students of the University who died in the world during World War I, estimated by Prof. Goldin Goldsmith, of the department of architecture, at between $200 to $500.
Bench Is Proposed
The second proposal is for a bench overlooking the valleys of the Waaukusa or Kaw rivers. The estimated cost of a bench is $300 to $500. Stained glass windows for either the new Union building or Watson library was the third proposal. The committee pointed out that these windows are not suitable for such windows in the library and two in the Union building.
The fourth proposal was that the class use its memorial fund to start a fund for the purchase of chineses and Japanese books, $20,000, and would require the support of several classes. At present there is no tower in which they could be hung but it was suggested that the class use their memorial fund on the proposal auditorium building.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25. 1920
**Chimes Are Suggested**
In the discussions of the proposals both the chimes and tablet were recommended but no action, other than the nomination for a memorial, was taken. The class also voted to accept the offer of the Alumni Association of a refund of $1 to the class memorial fund for each $2 paid for the first year's dues to the Alumni Association. This amount is to be added to the class assessment before awarding alumna dues, it estimated at $7.00.
To Be No Senior Play
There will be no senior play this year. The class voted to abandon it since interest in the play seems to be diminishing from year to year and also in view of the fact that the class of '25 lost heavily on its play. The team would be missed by the away with the play the募资 fund would be increased.
It was also decided to ask the faculty to wear caps and gowns at the graduation exercises, since it was a difficult task for faculty to the occasion and place the faculty under only a small expense. The reports of the other committee members were sent to the faculty their work was not in such shape as to permit a report at present.
