Serenity and peace and sunny dream
Have laid their blessing on these grace-
ful towers,
And airs august from old-world Oxford
seem
To breathe among these courts and
cloistered bowers.

BRYN MAWR, PA., JANUARY 28,: 1915
THE ALUMN ASSOCIATION OF
BRYN MAWR COLLEGE
The annual meeting of the association
will be held in the Chapel on Saturday,
January 30th, at 11 o’clock. It is the one
regular business meeting held in the year.
The association is composed primarily
of all who have received degrees from
Bryn Mawr College, with the exception
of about ninety alumne who have signi-
fied a lack of interest either by failure
to pay dues or by a direct statement that
they do not care to continue as. members.
In addition to the 1200 full members there ©
are over two hundred associate members,
former students who have not received
degrees. Associate members pay the
same dues as full members and have the
same rights and privileges, except’ the
power of voting, and the right to hold of-
fice or serve on standing committees.
Since the interest of a student in and her
loyalty to the College is not always meas-
ured by the length of time she spends
here or by the letters she is allowed as a
result to affix to her name, we. have
among the associates some of our most
faithful, active and valuable members.
Inasmuch as there is each February in
the College a Senior Class and several
candidates for the Ph.D. degree, who in
four months will become full members
of{| the association, and who will then
scatter so-that-many—of-them wilt find it
difficult to come to future meetings, the
association makes a practice of inviting
the Seniors and Ph.D. candidates to at-
tend. Though the meeting is a long. one,
its length has the advantage that in one
day all the activities are reviewed, and
any investigating visitor can figyd out ex-
actly how the alumne, as such, busy
themselves in “cultivating intimate rela-
tions and friendly feelings among the
graduates of Bryn Mawr College,” in “fur-
thering the interests and the general wel-
fare of the said College, and thus main-
taining and advancing the cause of higher
education.”
The Board of Directors.—The five offi-
cers of the association, president,
president, recording secretary,
sponding secretary and treasurer, consti-
tute a Board of Directors which manages
the affairs of the association in the in-
terim of its meetings. They are elected
biennially; the officers
elected in January, 1914. The president,
Cornelia Halsey Kellogg (Mrs. Frederick
R. Kellogg), of 1900, was the president of
the Undergraduate Association when in

College. This is her first term as presi-
dent of the association. The other offi-
cers were all re-elected last year. Jane
Haines, "92, has been treasurer since-her
graduation; Abigail Dimon, ‘96, has been
corresponding secretary since 1910;
Louise Congdon Francis, 1900, recording
secretary since 1911, and Mary Richard-

Business of the Meeting
The business of the meeting consists
largely of reports from the Board of Di-~
rectors, the treasurer, the standing com-
mittees, the alumne directors, the local
branches and the special committees.
These reports usually bring subjects for
discussion at the meeting. Taken
gether they present a view of the actiyi-
ties of the association in more or less de-
tail. They will be published in full in the
April number of the “Alumne Quarterly,”
which is the official organ of the associa-
tion.
The “Alumnez Quarterly” was started
in 1906, and until last year it was pub-
to-
lished by an editor appointed by the
Board of Directors. The editor assumed
entire responsibility for the magazine,
which depended for its support entirely
on subscriptions and advertisements. As
its circulation financial
standing was precarious, and the-tlast edi-
Was small, its
tor, Evangeline Walker Andrews, ‘'93,
after four years of management that had
been most satisfactory to the Alumnae,
resigned her position in 1913, and forci-
bly presented the difficulties of the situa-
tion. After much discussion it
cided in February, 1914, that the “Quar-
terly” become an official organ of the as-
sociation, under the control of the Board
of Directors. In order to finance its pub-
lication, amendments to the by-laws were
proposed, raising the annual dues of the
association to one dollar and fifty cents,
and life membership dues to thirty dol-
lars. These amendments are to come up
before the meeting this. year for action,
was de-
and, if adopted, the association will con-
tinue sending the “Quarterly” to all mem-
bers. The Board Directors was for-
tunate enough to secure as editor Elve
Lee, '94, who has complete charge of the
publication, but who with the
