COLLEGIATE ALUMN4Z ASSOCIATION
As councillor of the Bryn Mawr Alum-
nz Association to the Association of Col-
legiate Alumne I make a report to the
association at the annual meeting on Sat-
urday upon the work of the’ Collegiate
Alumnew during the past year. It has
seemed to me that certain parts of this
report would be of interest to the many
alumne, graduates and undergraduates
who read. “The College News.”
The first biennial meeting of the Asso-
ciation of Collegiate Alumnez under the
new constitution and according to the
plan of reorganization was held in Phila-
delphia during Easter Week of last year.
A feature of the re-organization plan had
been to put the association more com-
pletely in touch with the interests and
problems of the college women through-
out the country. Although having only
between five and six thousand active
members, the association deals with the
problems which affect over forty thou-
sand college graduates, all of whom are el-
igible-to-membership. To have-these forty
thousand college women behind the ac-
tions and recommendations of the Asso-
ciation would bring a tremendous force
into the field of higher education. The
reorganization plan therefore provided
for the membership in the Association of
groups of alumnz who should constitute
affiliated bodies of interested, although
not necessarily active members. To pro-
mote such a membership, as well as to
further the larger interests of the asso-
ciation, a series of conferences were .ar-
ranged to discuss general. problems of
education and administration. The con-
ferences were held at Bryn Mawr College |
on the Tuesday preceeding the general
meetings—-a conference of women trus-
tees held at the Deanery, a_confer-
ence of fifty-six deans of women,
held at Penygroeés, a conference of +hie
representatives of Alumnz Associations
and a conference of representatives from
the local branches of the Collegiate
Alumne. The discussions were most in-
teresting and helpful. As a result of the
discussion, the Conference of Women
Trustees offered resolutions which were
adopted by the whole association dealing
with the status of women in art and lit-
erature and the opportunities and stand-
ing of women scholars in coeducational
universities. Among the recommenda-
tions made and adopted were the follow-
ing:
“That Association of Collegiate
Alumne request the National
Institute of Arts and Letters to elect to
their membership the followmg
women: Cecilia Beaux and Mary Cas-
satt as artists and Jane Addams as a
woman of letters.” (At present no
woman is a member of the institute.)

THE COLLEGE
three ,
That we, the members of the Confer-
‘ence of Women Trustees hereby
|affirm our belief that it is our duty as
| women trustees to promote by
‘every means in our power the highest
|academic standards; to make it
‘our business to see that the women teach-
‘ers employed by our governing boards
|receive salaries equal to those of men
teachers of the same academic standing;
| and are not assigned social and other non-
‘academic duties, not required of men
' scholars of equal rank; and finally to take
active measures to secure for all women
‘in our employ the same opportunities of
' promotion and salary as are afforded men
‘teachers of the same academic standing.
| As the Association includes all colleges
and universities of the highest rank, reso-
lutions of this character, when circulated
in the name of the association, will have
the greatest. value in keeping open and
creating opportunities for women.
Fifty-six deans of women attended the
conference. The discussion centered on
the extra-curriculum activities of stu-
| dents, the best method of promoting or
controlling such activities. Several rather
interesting conclusions .were reached al-
/ most unanimously. First, that the truest
solution of the problem lies in arousing a
.true intellectual interest in the student
‘and, second, that social-activities may be
best controlled by scheduling them for
week-ends. The conference also agreed
that students should be discouraged from
entering college who did not have at least
|the money to meet the college expenses
|for the first year.
The Conference of Alumnez Associa-
tions was most profitable in comparing
‘different methods of organizations and,
, administrations to bring the alumne in
closer touch with the colleges. Uniform
class records were also discussed in order
to have material for comparative study
of the alumne of different colleges and
| graduating in different years. A commit-.
, tee was appointed to take up the subject
_of such records.
The guests and members of the asso-
ciation all expressed their great appre-
ciation of the courtesy and hospitality
of the College. They were entertained at
lunch, tea and dinner, and held an open
meeting in Taylor Hall in the evening.
