Why don't our own University
boys gather together and form
alumni associations in various
parts Of the Statea The Univer.
sity is growing rapidly. and these
associations would add to it tone
and dignity and inspire confidence
in an institution that deserves con-
fidence. The associations would
make the University better
known to the people and would
be the means of inducing more
students TO go to school within
their own State. The faculty is
large enough and the apparatus
extensive enough to educate six
or seven hundred, and that num-
Der could be given a complete
and thorough education at the
same cost as is needed for three
hundred. There are graduates
all over the State who could easily
meet, form an association, and
then, by a little effort, send one
or two students that otherwise
would go out of the State for
their training. 1t is a notorious
fact that dozens of boys from this
State are preparing to go, in a
few weeks. to a school outside
ourState whenr the advantages in
almost every respect are far in.
ferior to those offered at our own
University. A little work by our
alumni would induce these stu.
dents TO avail themselves of the
advantages of our State institu.
ton; and when it is learned that
these advantages are as great as
those to be had elsewhere and
that they are to be had absolutely
free, the rapid growth and ad.
vancement of the West Virginia
University is assured.
