for alumni funds and trip to Il class
reunion at New Haven every three or
five years.
Glass secretaries rank high on the list
of the graduates who give goodly
part of their time and activities to the
interests of Yale and its alumni Many
Il class secretary has been found who
is devoting every hour of his leisure
to the burden of constant compilation
and correspondence which the keeping
and chronicling of the history of some
200 men, scattered TO the ends of the
earth, involve. Every one of these men
is called upon at regular intervals to
compile and publish book containing
the history and status of each man in
the class up to date. Each is always
subject to Il call by any member of his
class for the latest and most detailed
information regarding another member
or group of members. 1t is not unusual
for 4 class secretary to receive Il de
mand for Il complete list of the class.

or single annexation. for purposes of
sending out wedding announcements
In tnrS work the secretary is not I'M
aided. \ large proportion of his class
mates willingly assume share OF the
burden OF writing to their particular
intimates and thus keeping the score
tary accurately informed. Thus. weeks
of time and attention are devoted hy
many Yale alumni To class record work.
The class agents of the alumni fund
have an almost equal amount of CON
slant and pressing lahors to take III
their leisure time. These men see to
it that each member of the class is
kept I'm touch with the work of raising
funds by the general body of the alum
nj for the support of the university
and that each is solicited in a timely
and tactful way To make his individual
contribution. To this work many of
the class agents devote weeks of the
time of their office clerical force and
much morn of their own. AS officers
| and committeeman of the organiZa ton
! of the alumni fund Il score of men
| whose time is unusually valuable serve
| regularly and willingly. Last year
! these voluntary agents collected over
! 100000 from about $500 graduates

| more alumni associations throughout
| the land men OF this type are also serv-
ing in Il similar capacity.

AS sample of graduate activity
along specialized lines the Yale Mis-
sion college in China Is often cited.
In the building of a new Yale in the
heart of China an incorporated society
under council of forty prominent
Yale alumni has been formed with n
working membership that includes
scores of the alumni and has as officers
the leading men of the university and
the graduate body. The conduct and
financing of project of such magni-
tude are calling each year for large
part of the attention of many of the
most prominent Yale men. For each
commencement reunion scores of grad
yates devote weeks Of time and effort
to complete and carry out similar ac-
tivities at the university.
