and First Lieutenants. The Ten
Thousand Dollars pledged has been
paid in, with the exception of about
five hundred dollars, not yet collect
ed.
The next annual meeting will be
held April Goth, 1918, at o'clock
p. m, in the Freshman room at the
College Come and join with us.
Send ST alumni dues, and any sug-
gestions you wish to make toward
GREATER MEHARRY.
Yours for a Greater Meharry,
]. A. LESTER, M. D., Secretary.
The above letter is self-eXplana
tory. Wherever it is read the more
than two thousand graduates sent out
by the Meharry Colleges will fondly
turn their hearts towards their
Alma Mater. Many will return to
witness the business session of the
Association and the graduating eXer-
cises which will take place May 9Th
at the Ryman Auditorium. The Me-
harry Alumni Association was or
ganized in 1895. The late Drs. H. 7.
Noel and r. F. Boyd were among the
first presiding officers. Some of the
most distinguished men of our race
are members of our Alumni Associa-
ton. They are loyal to their Alma
Mater and delight to express their
loyalty whenever an opportunity is
given. DR.. Joseph S. Dickson OF
jackson, Tenn, made provisions in
his will by which Meharry College
came in possession of all of his eff
fects, both real and personal.
From the estate of DR.. R, F. Boyd
the institution received gifts But
the most hopeful sign is the fact that
some who now live give of their sub
stance to help foster the work. The
handsome gift Of $4,000 by DR.. J.
w. Anderson and wife of Dallas,
Texas, stands as a worthy monument
to the loyalty of the sons and daugh-
tiers of dear old Meharry. Then
followed the $4,000 pledged by the
alumni throughout the country. With
the exception of about $500, this sum
has been sent in and this, too, at
tests to the loyalty of our alumni
everywhere.
