THE NEW YEAR. 



Biginning this month the Alumni Association enters upon another 

 year of its activities. In some respects this coming year will be of 

 greater importance than others have been, since problems of weight 

 will have to be solved. Foremost among them is a complete revision 

 of our membership list. This work has been agitated from time to 

 time, but without result. But the time has come, and the Editor 

 believes that it is here now, when it must be taken up and carried 

 through in the most thorough manner, if the Association is to continue 

 its work and at the same time remain on a sound financial basis. Mem- 

 bers of an Association who do not contribute to its support by paying 

 dues are like so many pieces of lead which hinder progress and useful- 

 ness and are a heavy load upon the resources of the Association. It 

 would be a somewhat radical step to simply drop from membership those 

 who owe dues, but a decided effort should and will be made to make 

 those members come to realize that in joining the Association they 

 have taken upon themselves an obligation to support it in its work.
