A Strong Social Association Organized at
Parkersburg.

A Strong Social Association ORGANIZED ~
Parkersburg.
Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, January "a
strong local association or west VIZ
ginia University students and graduates
was organized here last night by Wait
man Barbe. field agent of the Universe
~ The association has nearly fifty
members and starts off with much en-
tbusiasm. Harry L. Caswell, president
of the Wood County Bank and member
of the old Monongalia Academy Cprede-
cessor of the University class OF 1863
was elected president, and John I.
Cooper. class of 1894, was elected secre-
tary. The association includes some OF
the most prominent men in the county.
The secretary was instructed TO notify
President Goodnight of the organiza-
ton of this association and to offer its
services for anything that will help
the University in its splendid work.
A banquet will probably be a feature
of the next meeting of the association.
Wood county now has more students at
the University than ever before in its
history.
Secretary Cooper, who graduated at
the West Virginia University class OF
'94. and is now doing postgraduate
work at Harvard, stated to the asso-
citation that his observation is that the
students at the w. V. U. will compare
favorably in character, application,
scholarship, and every way with the
students al Harvard
