Alumni The Northwestern University Gen- eral Alumni association announces that on June 30 it completed the most successful year since its history. The organization was founded in 1921 by a union of the organizations repre- senting the alumni of the several schools of the university. At the end of its first year the or- ganization had a membership of 2,600. It now has 7,000 members. It began with a twenty-two page magazine which has been increased to forty- four pages and ranks as one of the two or three best publications of its kind in America. It has organized local clubs of Northwestern alumni in sev- entv-six cities throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. The as- sociation has thus kept pace with the remarkable development the university has made during the same period. Appreciation of the success that has been attained during the year is ex- pressed by the re-election of all offic- ers of the association for another year. They are as follows: Leslie M. Gooder, president; Thomas A. Harwood, vice-president; Dr. John H. Cadmus, secretary; George P. Ellis, treasurer. Mr. Gooder is secretary and gen- eral manager of D. F. Keller & com- pany of Chicago.
