Chicago, 111., October 14. The initial step was taken in the organization of a Southern College Association in Chicago when representatives
of nine southern college alumni cjpbs
met at the Congress hotel and elected
officers and mapped out a plan of
organization which is expected to
eventually include every southern
alumni club in Chicago.
With the election of officers and
the adoption of a constitution the association established headquarters at
the Congress hotel and started a
campaign to have every southern col
lege and university organize a Chicago alumni club to become a part of
the Southern College Association.
The primary purpose of the organization is to promote the development
of individual alumni clubs in Chicago.
The maierity of alumni clubs have
small memberships and the associa-- i
tion will bring these clubs together so'
that the members will be able to
have all the advantages which a large
The Southern
alumni club offers.
College Association will handle the
entertainment of southerners in Chicago which at the present cannot be
handled by the individual alumni
clubs because of limited membership.
An invitation has been extended to
every Southern college ni2P in Chicago to. become affiliated with his local
alumni club and join the association.
The National Alumni Associations of
Southern Colleges are being interested in the organization' in order to
promote the development of more
clubs in Ghicago. A file of all members of the association is kept at the
Congress hotel and it will always be
available for anyone who desires to
make use of it.
Officers of the association are as
follows: president, Warren Wheary,
Georgia Tech; vice 'presidents, R. D.
Eames, University of North Carolina,
Carl Lee, University of Texas, Grey
Jewett Virginia Polytechnic Institute;
secretary and treasurer B. W. Ruark,
Duke University.
The following Chicago alumni clubs
are charter members of the Southern
College Association: Duke Uniwrsity,
University of Virginia, Vanderbilt,
Tulane University, University of Texas. University of North 'Carolina, Vir

Dr. Sophonisba Preston Breckenridge, former student of the Univer

class of 1884 and who later received
the honorary degree of Doctor of

latest book, "Public Welfare Admin

work was published by the University
of Chicago Presswhere Dr. Breckenridge is a professon Her latest work
was reviewed by Miss Elinor Nims,
now of Chicago but formerly on the
faculty of the University of Kentucky
and executive secretary of the Lexington Welfare League.
In the review Miss Nims saysc j
"For Kentuckians, "Public Welfare
Administration in the United State's"
has special interest and appeal. In
the first place, the author, herself a
native of Lexington, Ky., has given
the world a pioneer volume in the
field of public welfare.
The older
professions of law and medicine have
their case books from which the student learns the principles of practice
and treatment. Social work, the newest the professions, has a like need
for case books. "Public Welfare Administration" is such a. case book. In
the second place, Kentucky as a state
was a pioneer in this field of governmental activity. In 1798, she established the first state penitentiary in

Kentucky took her place in the vanguard by making state provision for

Doctor Breckenridge is a widely

and her book is being received with,
enthusiasm wherever the public welfare i is an interest.
