Alumni to whom have spoken teel
the solution of the problem to be as
fellows The Alumni association must
be represented on the boai'd Of trus-
tees by one of their number duly
elected by them. This individual is
to be a medium between the College
and its graduates. Can our beloved
A. C. continue to expect the undivid-
ed support of its best and truest
men and women, its graduates, un-
less it gives them a direct voice in
its control and management. I leave
the answer to this splendid gather
ing this afternoon.
Again, hear a murmur-theoreti-
cal-it can't be done. The Alumni
association realizes full well that un-
der present conditions the constitu-
tion says 1t can't be done. Times have
changed since that instrument was
made. Cannot the istrument be

of its members already. True, but
not that this member would not be
choice Of the association but that the
member is not PLACED their by this
body. God forbid any reflection on
the choice of His Excellency our
governor. I question anyone could
choose better than he. 1t is the
principle not the person the associa-

to have the privilege of voting for

In conclusion, let me say, the Alum

stands for comradeship and affiliation
amongst it's members; and finally, it
stands now at the threshold of the

UNCLE JOE CANNON

We want you to read the article in this issue
the political history of the country from the pen OF
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois You may not
agree with him, but none will deny that he is one
of the greatest characters in American politics and
has been for many years. With an almost undistub.
ed service in Congress- for the greater part of
a century he has made himself acquainted with all
the details of the nation, and has been great lead
er in the Republican party. Now that he has retired
to private life he is none the less in the limelight
When he goes to Washington all parties flock to
his side to hear what he has to say and when he
speaks the mutitudes listen. His article Is lengthy
but is worth reading. Do not miss It, If you cannot
read it all at one time lay it aside and read it at
your leisure In any event do not miss It, 1t is worth
your while.
