ASSOCIATE ALUMNI.

By the charter of the University the graduates are entitled to elect two of the Board of Trustees each year. At a meeting called for the purpose, and held on Wednesday, June 26, 1872, the day preceding the Annual Commencement, representatives of all the classes that had graduated being present, the following organization was effected : ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AS ADOPTED JUNE 26, 1872, AND AFTERWARDS AMENDED.

I. The Alumni of Cornell University hereby constitute themselves an association to be known by the name of the Associate Alumni of Cornell University.

II. The object of this association is declared to be to promote in every proper way the interest of the University, and to foster among the graduates a sentiment of regard for each other and attachment to their Alma Mater.

III. All graduates of this University, who, by their diplomas are entitled electors of the University, are members of this association. All members of the Faculty of this University are honorary members of this association.

IV. The officers of this association shall consist of (1) a president ; (2) vice-presidents to be elected as follows: one vice-president from the classes numbered from '69 to '74 inclusive, and one from each succeeding group of five classes, provided that when the last group shall number three classes it shall thereafter be entitled to a vice-president ; (3) a corresponding secretary; (4) a recording secretary; (5) a treas

urer.

V. This association shall meet annually on the day preceding Commencement, at such hour as the executive committee shall determine. VI. Any proposition to alter or amend these articles of association must be made at a regular meeting and have the assent of two-thirds of the members present.

By an amendment to the charter of the University, passed May 15, 1883, permitting members of the Alumni, not present in person, to vote by written ballot at the annual election of Trustees, the Treasurer of the University is required to keep “a registry of the signature and

address of each alumnus." It is therefore important that each alumnus keep the Treasurer of the University informed of his full address (in cities, street and number) and notify him immediately of any change.

The following ordinance was adopted by the Board of Trustees, October 24, 1888: All graduates of the first degree, in any of the departments of Cornell University, and all persons who have been admitted to any degree higher than the first in said University shall be alumni of said University, and as such be entitled to vote for Alumni trustees under and in pursuance of the provisions contained in Chapter 763 of the Laws of New York, passed in 1867.

Alumni Bureau.

The Alumni Association voted at its meeting in June, 1890, to establish in the University an Alumni Bureau, aud at the annual meeting in June, 1896, incorporated in the By-Laws of the Association the following provision : "There is established an Alumni Bureau for the promotion of the interests of graduates or other ex-students of the University in securing positions. The Alumni Bureau shall be under the general oversight of the executive committee of the Association and in the special charge of the Registrar of the University." In accordance with this resolution a permanent Bureau has been constituted where names are registered with a record of the position desired and of the studies and experience of those who wish situations. To render this organization in the highest degree efficient, it is desired that all interested should communicate as early in the year as possible to the Registrar of the University information of vacancies which may occur in public positions which graduates are prepared to fill. Former students can thus render a constant service to the University, and to successive classes as they graduate. A list of such situations is kept and is available for consultation by all students. Blank forms will be furnished on application to the Registrar.

In accordance with the vote of the Alnmni Association, the annual report of the Alumni Trustees, containing a review of the year and such matters affecting the University as interest the Alumni, is sent to all members whose annual dues have been paid. Any Alumnus who shall pay to the Treasurer ten dollars at one time is thereafter exempt from the payment of annual dues. Remittances may be made to the order of the Corresponding Secretary. The last report is now ready for distribution.

The Corresponding Secretary is required to keep a list of the addresses of graduates, and it is requested that he may be notified of changes in the address of any member.
