The life-membership fee is $20.00. It is thought desirable to raise the fee
to $30.00 or $40.00 at an early date. Those who would like to take advantage
of the $20.00 rate should make application at once. There should be at
least one hundred life members. ·

At the annual meeting in 1913, the following
poe, yl Appggl t., You? resolutions were presented to the Asocia- `
tion:
“Be it Resolved, That the several classes that have been `
graduated from the University be asked by this Association to  
contribute to the cost of painting and properly framing portraits E
of the distinguished men who have served the University-— 1
Prof. Helveti, Prof. Neville, Dr. Peter, Prof. Shackleford, P
Prof. White and President Patterson, said portraits to be hung `
on the walls of the University."  
This resolution was received and passed with unanimous approval, and with
a degree of reverence and gratitude that showed the deep interest that was ,
felt in the matter. A committee was appointed to carry out the purpose of
the Association, but it failed to organize, giving as its reason that the indi-
vidual members of the committee were too busy to give the work the attention ~
it deserved, and for this reason the work has been neglected.
- There are thousand of alumni and old students whose hardships have been
made lighter, whose memories have been made brighter, and whose lives have
been made better and happier by the help and guidance, by the intimate and
personal friendship, by the inspiration and influence of the personal contact A
of these great characters. Surely there are none of us but who believes that
this is a small way of expressing our love, our respect, our reverence and
· appreciation of these grand old men.
The treasurer holds only eleven dollars which have been given for this
cause. If it were possible to reach every alumnus and old student, it is believed
` that each and every one would contribute liberally. Since this is impossible, it
  means that a smaller number will have to take care of the proposition. It is a
* cause that should appeal to us all and we should give what we can towards it.
If it appeals to you, send the treasurer your check for whatever you feel you
can give.
