Ea rl y in M arch du es statements were sent to all alumni. At present writing 396 have responded with dues a nd special contributions netting $1850.00 - a slightly better record than tha t reached a t this time in 1944.

We a re deeply 11;ra teful for this generous response. This active interest, this fin ancial and moral support makes possible the continuation of the Associa tion, the gradual development of its projects, the publication of THE AL U MNU S. We confidently h ope that the list of 1945 contribu tors m ay serve as a reminder to those who have laid aside the first notice for future considera tion to think of the "old school on the hill" and help m ake the year 1945, "the be t ever" in the annals of the Alumni Association .
