Editorial Last Saturday evening, Alden Mt•morial Auditorium was th<.' St:t'nl'
of the latest in a mernorablt· series of Tech Carnivals. No one who was present can honestly clnim to have gotten less than hili money's worth. The freshmen deserve a grt~at dent of credit for their prizewinning performance und the S.C.A. should be luu<kl"' for its sponsorship of the affair. In spite of their Carnival victory however, the fre shmen ~eE'm to be hopelessly behind in the traditional Goats-Head competition. T he Sophomores not only lead in t hi~ competition but also have possession of the trophy at prE'sent. The Freshmen should remember that although they nrr trailing in the official competition they have plenty or tradition to back up a forceful attempt to recover the pri zed trophy. The sophomores have fu lfilled their part of this tmdition by making a public showing of the Goats-Head during their skit in the Carnival. Howc·vcr, to show their contempt and disdain Cor the Frosh they hav<' :tnnouncrd that another showing will be madl' in the \ICry near futurr. Th<'y further promise that the trophy's hirling place will be on fn:-litute t1r fraternity house property. This should be suflir.icnt incentive for thf' Frrshmcn. T h(•y now know what the Goat~·Head looks like nnd they should be lntercstrd in obtaining it. Their exccllrnt Curnival skit showrd nne rlm;s spirit and this same spirit Rhould lead them to try to recover the '93 C:oats-
Head.

Alumni Association Makes Like Duz Anyone who hns investigated the activities of our college has found a complex system or administrative offices which handle the business. Among these administrative offtccs, one of the most important is that run by the Alumni Association.
whv have ~ludied fur at least one semester al Tecb arc permitted to join. .\t the present tjme, the Alumni As· socialivn has a strength or 5,300 members behind it. or t hcse, about 1,000 are non-graduates.
F und - Fountlecl The .\ lu m n i Association was founded in 1873; and on July 30 of that year, it held its ftrst meeting in Boynton Hall. In 1891 , the Association was incorporated which meant that it was no longer a part of the school in the strict sense of the word. As an Independent body, it raises its own funds and elects ils own officers. Up until 1924, the capital required for the operation of the organi:tation and other direct contributions to the college was obtained through annual dues; however, in that year lhe Alumni Fund was formulated. This system of Alumni Association operation as we know it today, depends solely upon annual contributions from the alumni for its survival. When the organization was first founded, it admitted only graduates. Today however, all the graduates nrc automatically members; and those
District Ch nptcrl.f The overall purposes of the Alumni .\ ssociation are to stimulate, main· tain, and increase alumni interest in the affairs of W.P.l. and then to con· \•erl this interest into utility to the I nst it ute. l n altai uiug these goals, it is necessary for the offtce of the Association to keep accurate records on the activities and whereabouts of all the alumni. It is also necessary to maintain as many contacts with the alumni as possible so that interest can be built. One way of doing lhis is by means of the Journal which is issued six times a year. A member of the organization automatically becumes a subscriber when he conlributes to I he L•'und. 1'he second melhud of instilling interest in the alumni is through the medium of the District Chapter Program. This program utillzcs the 20 alumni chapters scattered from coast to coast. In effect these chapters, through their soci~tl pro·

Tulent S~u ut i11g ln addition to aiding the school financially, the Alumni Association has taken <>n what is known as the Promotion Program. This program is divided into three parts. The ftrst of these is known as the screeninK pro· gmm which employs the above men· lionetl district chapters. lt is I he task or the chapters to obtain personal inLcrvicws with those who wish to mntriculate at W.P.T. From these in· tcrview!i, the chapter submit s a rc· pon on the qualificalions of each individual. This report is used by the .\dmisl;inns Office in selectinj.( lhc incClming cla:;sch. The seconrl function uf the Promotion Progrnm is that of s p o n !' uri n g the Tcchni-Forum.

Cash o n llnntl .h for converting alumni interest into usPfulness to the college, nne of the ways is through the medium of the Alumni Fund. In considering 1he percent of alumni contributing to the Fund, \V.f'.l. has in recent years consistently ranked among the first live colleges in the country. As high a1\ fifty-live per cent of the alumni hove contriiJuted to the Alumni Fund. The Alumni .Fund is often referred to as the ' 1Living Endowment"; for as such, it contributes yearly toward the expenses of the school. In recent

years, the Fund contributions have amounted lo about ~34 ,000. This accuunl has either directly or in· directly been used to help defray the college expenses and represents an amount equivalent to the interest which would he produced by approxi· mately $ 1,000,000 of the lnstitutes endowment.
grams. create intcre~l by bringing together men who have common educational an(i professional back~rounds In adrlition, they also pro' ide a source for making new acquaintances and contacts. A third way of st imulating the enthusiasm of those who have left the school is through Reunions and Homecomings. .\s in the case of the district chap· tcrs. it is at these affairs I hal the alumni make new contacts and meet old friends. Consequently, two goals arc accomplished ; namely I he graduates have an enjoyable time and their interests in the school arc aroused.
