BULLETIN LYCOMING COLLEGE, WILLIAMSPORT, PENNA. January, 1949 Vol. n, No. 1 DEAR ALUMNI: This edition of the Alumni Bulletin contains the most important announcement made to Alumni in recent years. I hope you will read the entire Bulletin carefully and make your plans promptly to be with us on Friday, February. 25. With the resignation of Rev. Frank W. Ake, '27, as alumni secretary, the outbreak of World War II and the time necessarily given to the expansion of the college since the close of the war, it has been im-possible to do the work w^hich a healthy condition among the Alumni requires. It is the intention of the Board of Directors and the college to promote greater Alumni activity. With this purpose in mind and as the first step, the execu-tive committee of the Board of Directors at the De-cember 20 meeting, directed that Miss Katherine Woolever serve on a part-time basis in the handling of Alumni activities until an over-all program is adopted by the college. Miss Woolever has handled local publicity for the college for nearly a year and will continue to do this work. She has her desk in the office of the business manager of the college. J. Milnor Dorey w^ill continue as editor of the Alumni Bulletin. A four-fold program of alumni activities is to be presented to the Alumni at the banquet in February as follows: 1. To induce as many of the Alumni as possible to come back to the college on important occasions. 2. To promote Alumni Club organizations. 3. To promote living endowment. 4. To develop increasing interest among the Alumni in the college. The college is fortunate in having in Williams-port a splendid group of young alumni who are deep-ly interested in the college and are ready to co-oper-ate in a forward looking program in the interest of the institution. They feel this is the appropriate time to begin more intensive activities, since next June the first class will be graduated with appro-priate degrees from Lycoming College. In the past our graduates, both from the prepar-atory school and the junior college, have attended other schools for part or all of their college work, and consequently the interest of many has been w^ith the institution from which they last graduated. The class graduating in June from Lycoming is the first class which will have had all of its college w^ork here and should be the group to lead in the for-mation of a strong and growing body of alumni for Lycoming College. The larger body comprising more than 4,000 alumni of Williamsport Dickinson Sem-inary and Junior College will co-operate toward that end. Faithfully yours, JOHN W. LONG COLLEGE READY TO WELCOME ALUMNI AT 1949 GREATER LYCOMING BANQUET I How many Alumni haven't ponged at one time or another to come back to the campus to re-jlive some of those best-times-of-f heir-lives? Well, if it's a feeling ike that, or just curiosity as to how things are going, now that the school is a four-year institu-tion, a "return engagement" has been planned for you on Friday, jFeb. 25, the date of the Greater !|Lycoming Banquet. This year's banquet is intended 'to bring to the college key Alumni who will help lay the plans for Iclass reunions in June. Two si-multaneous programs are sched-uled— one for the Alumni and one for the student body. The visiting graduates will meet in the college dining room at 6:30 p.m. for the dinner, and to hear a talk by a prominent alumnus, and the stu-dent body will be served in the gymnasium and will hear the ad-dress over a loud speaker system. At the conclusion of the program, the Alumni will have their choice of attending a dance in the gym with the undergraduates or visit-ing with former classmates in the Clarke building. The separate meal plan was adopted as a means of accommo-dating on campus the more than 900 students and the returning Alumni. While the school was still a junior college and the enrolment had not yet out-distanced the building program, it was custom-ary to hold the student-alumni banquets (known then as the Greater Dickinson Banquets) at the college. The large attendance in recent years forced the dinner committees to seek larger dining facilities in downtown Williams-port, but Alumni interest in cam-pus brings the initial Greater Ly-coming event back to the college grounds. The Alumni Council's advice to those planning to attend the ban-quet is this: Buy your tickets in advance. The dining room capa-city is 375 and tickets will be sold until that limit is reached. Use the order form below or write a note saying how many tickets you want and enclose your check. Tic-kets are $1.75 each. We urge you to make your reservation now.
