L. Green, pro fessor of ancient languages, at the University, and well-known for his book "History of the University of S. C." Although the present alumni asso ciation of the University was not or ganized until 1881, the class of 1846 held a meeting immediately following commencement and decided to hold re unions at Carolina at five year inter vals. At these reunions it was planned to have each returning graduate sketch briefly his life since commencement. An orator was elected to address the first meeting, after which a class din ner was to be held. Next year's class, that of 1847, made similar plans. As far as is known, no other ilasses followed up this idea. The class of '46 held two reunions, at five year intervals, but had its third interrupted by the Civil War. In the meantime, during the Univer sity's Semicentennial, held in Decem ber, 1849, a graduate association was ret founded, with John L. Manning as first foi president. Ka In the midst of the turmoil in South me Carolina that followed upon the heels S. of the Civil War, three graduates of Al 1846 called a meeting of all Univer- ne1 sity Alumni at Columbia, December 7, sit 1880. The present University of South ho Carolina Alumni Association was of- on ficially chartered, and John L. Man- we ning was elected president; Col. F. W. K. McMaster, secretary-treasurer. The newly formed Alumni Associa tion presented a petition to the state mi legislature for a "small appropriation ha with which to re-establish the South me Carolina College. The appropriation th was granted, and the College of Ag- is riculture and Mechanics was reorgan- of ized and opened in the fall of 1882 as th the "So,th Carolina College." th "From 1881 to 1890 the annual meet- Ti ing of the Alumni Association was held ii during the month of December. In m 1890 the reunion was held Commence. or ment Day, and since that timc it ha been held Tuesday of Commencement ag Week. Since the institution of Foun- th ders' Day, in 1910. the annual reunions o" have taken place on that day." he --v.

Just preceding this, Dink was one of the group of stu dents re-created the Women's Athletic Association.
