HOPES TO INCREASE
UTILITY OF ALUMNI
President Wheeler Suggests Perma-
nent Secretary for Each
Class

Class.
BERKELEY, March 23.-The Alumni
Association of California held a meet
ing this afternoon in the Philosophy
building, at which new methods for in
creasing the utility of the alumni or
ganization were freely discussed. In
stead of making a formal address Pres
ident Wheeler talked the matter over
with the graduates who were present.
In answer to their questions he point
ed out means whereby the alumni may
help in the matter of university legis-
lation.
The scheme proposed by President
Wheeler to bring the alumni into a
close organization is one that was first
successfully inaugurated at Harvard.
The plan is to have a permanent secre-
tary for each class, and these secre-
taries are to form a body in themselves.
Among those who discussed this new
plan at to-day's meeting were Charles
Buffers, Frank Otis, William II. Waste
George Edwards, W. H. Van Orden and
J. NJ. Goss.
The alumni are planning to hold an
elaborate reception in San Francisco
on the evening before Charter day nj
each year. 1t is proposed to have the
Charter day speaker address the alumni
at that gathering.

any expense. but that 1t would conssgn the poor

most trying struggle to attain to true culture ?

we insist that the highest education shall be
