YOUR ALUMNI PI
To the Ahumnae and Alumni of the
University of South Carolina:
It is with much trepidation that
I have entered upon the discharge
of the duties of the President of
your Association for the current
Alumni Association year. These are
difficult and trying times and one
would be heedless indeed, even in
normal times, to step without alarm
into the shoes of the eminent and
extraordinarily able men who have
in recent years served as President
of the Association. In fact, it is
only with the knowledge that the
work of the Association will be in
tegrated and directed by our Exec
utive - Secretary-one of the best
alumni secretaries in the nation
and that I shall have the active, con
stant and unstinted support of the
whole body of the alumni that I
have been able to summon the cour
age to enter upon the execution of
my task.
As vice-president of the Associa
tion for the Fourth Judicial Circuit,
I was familiar with the activities
of the Association during the past
year and in passing I wish to pay
a deserved tribute to Claude Mc
Millan, the retiring President, and
Ralph Lewis, the Executive Secre
tary, the Alumni Council and the
rank and file of the alumni for the
exceptionally fine work which was
accomplished last year.
These activities will be set forth
in detail in the annual reports of
the Executive Secretary and the
President and I hope that the re
pcrt. can h publiahcd in full ial
"On the Alumni Front" so that the
whole body of the alumni will be
fully informed as to the great work
whih has bei done iad is lleing
done by the Association, its aims
and objects and the acute and im
perative necessity for the loyal and
wholehearted cooperation and sup
port of the whole alumni body to
accomplish the objects and pur
poses of the Association.
Great progress has been made in
the compiling of the alumni records.
'we records system now contains
about sixty thousand (60,000) cards.
The addresses of about nine thou
sand (9,000) of the alumni have been
proved. The permanent master card
file is yet to be constructed. This
work should be continued and com
pleted as expeditiousiy as possible.
Progress has be1 made in the
organization of local alumni clubs
but the progress of the work has
been impedled by war conditions
and the scattering of the alumni by
the impact of war. It is my settled
conviction that this is the most im
portant imlmedliate task of the Asso
ciation. These local associations or
clubs are the only solid and lasting
foundation upon wvhich the Associa
tion can be erected as a permanent
edifice. - Under the existing circum
stances this work must be done by
the oldler alumni who have not been
dispersed by the impact of the wvar.
The formation of local clubs must
be prosecuted with all the vigor and
resources at our comlmandl.
Great progress has been made in
the distribution of alumni publica
tions. Sixty- five thousand (65,000)
copies of the campus newspaper
were .nailed last year to some eight
thousanid fiv'e hundred (8,500) of
the alumni. Twenty-five thousand
(2:,000) copies of the newspaper
were sent free of charge to the Car
olina mten and women in the armed
services of the Unitedl States in
every part of the worldl. TIwo thou
sand five hundred (2,500) copies of
the Pictorial Bulletin were sent to

members of the Association and lo
cated non-members in the armed
services. This is an exceedingly im
portant and patriotic contribution to
the national var effort and one of
the finest things the Association has
ever done for its members. The
Executive Secretary has recelvea
thousands of letters of appreciation
from every nook and corner of the
earth. This work must be con
tinued and expanded to serve all
Carolina men in the ever increasing
armed services.
The membership attained by the
Association during the past year
reached an all time high, but it-is
not enough-the goal with respect
to membership in the Association
cannot be less than all of the former
students. We may not be able to
attain the goal, but we can closely
approach it. ''his is fundamentally
the duty and task of the rank and
file of the alumni. May I earnestly
beseech every Carolina man and
woman who reads this message to
immediately send in his or her As
sociation dues. Then persuade at
least one more Carolina son or
daughter to do likewise. The As
sociation needs the personal and
financial support of every Carolina
man and woman to fulfill its duty
to the University.
The standards, traditions and
characteristics of the faculty of the
University must he preserved and
continued. We should stand ready
always to work with the University
authorities to that end.
At all times and especially during
the present emergency, we must use
,ur utmost endeavor to advise young
mnic and young women of the
great educational and cultural ad
vantages and opportunities available
to them at the University. Special
efforts should be made to obtain
young men and young women who
have shown particular promise in
their high school work. This must
be the task of the whole body of the
alumni, but it is miy hope and ex
pectation that a plan will be per
fected before the end of the present
year to contact and apprize all high
school graduates in the State of
the advantages available to them at
the University.
We must keep constantly in mind
the necessity of completing the
building prograi of the University
as early as possible and to provide
it with the equipment and facilities
rdquired to keep it on a par with
other American State Universities.
It is time no0w to establish in the
University a modlern and adequately
equip)ped atnd financed program of
research. Our State cannot afford
to neglect this any longer.
WVe should make plans to estab
lish a home for the alumni on the
campus. TIhis should be the heart
as well as the brain center of the
Assoc ia tion.
The Association is at a crisis in
its life. It is about to leave ado
lescence andl assume the full stature
of young manhoodl. The Associa
tion has never been adequately
financed. Tihe multiplying and ex
panding activities constantly in
crease the financial strain. If the
Association is to fulfill its ob)liga
tions andl take its proper place in
the life of the University, its finani
cial problems must be settled and
p)laced on a firm andl permanent
basis. I hope andi expect that
progress to this end can be acecom-.
p)lishedl during the present year.
Faithfully yours,
