the meeting Of the alumni association
takes place at the college. The old stu
dents will banquet in Ryan Hall at $50
and afterwerd they will all be present at
business meeting, and either at one
place or the other the president of the
university will probably announce the
formation of an alumni advisory board.
and will appoint four members Of the
alumni associa ton to serve on the board
in conjunction with the faculty director OF
athletics

conduct Of sports by the general student

the man for any one department will
probably have many of the powers of a
manager.
1t will be remembered that a similar
board was formed some years ago. but
did not last long on account of a general
upheaval in athletics at the school. The
new appointees, however, will probably be
designated for a given time and mode

tabltshed, go that the perman ency of the
project may be insured

1t has been kept a profound secret as
TO who will make up the board, and not

be local men, and as there is to be one
