May l6-Zl, l92l, indicates clearly the I
needs of the institution. In that report
recommendations were made for an im-
mediate increase of $300,000 in the an-
nual appropriations and $8,000,000 for
buildings and equipment in the next ten I
years. Members of the commission I
pledged support to a movement that
would supply these needs. On the alumni
rests in large part responsibility for suc-
cess of the plan.
Membership in the Association has in-
creased from l93, June I5, 1920, to 924,
June l, I92I. In the same period the
number of active alumni clubs has grown
from two to fourteen, nine of them being
within the State, with a score more in pro- _
cess of organization.
Twenty-one hundred men and women
have been graduated by the University,
which number will be increased by l57
with the class of l92l. More than l6,000 `
men and women have been enrolled since `
the founding in 1865. When all these
are ardent workers for the University,
when they rejoice in its victories and have
faith in its future, great progress will be
possible.
This directory is published—the first
since I9 l 6—in the hope that the informa-
tion contained will help in promoting a
closer union of alumni with a greater op-
I porturiity for service to the Alma Mater.
