"AlvUMNI DAY." 



On May 6th, the Alumni Association will 

 tender its annual reception to the students. 



For the past nine years, it has been customary 

 to select a day annually called Alumni Day, for 

 the purpose of becoming acquainted with the 

 students. In former years talent was hired for 

 the occasion, but this year we will be entertained 

 by ladies and gentlemen who have very kindly 

 volunteered their services. The Alumni Day 

 Committee is composed of Messrs. Herold, 

 Searles and Burger. Last year we had a stage 

 built in sections, so that we could take it apart 

 and use it again. 



Members of the Association will meet at the 

 College on Monday, May 4th, and put it to- 

 gether. The next day Mr. Searles, who has 

 charge of the decorations and who has been on 

 this committee every year for the past nine 

 years, will put his men to work and decorate it 

 with flags and bunting. The other members of 

 the committee have been very busy securing the 

 services of their, and the Alumni's friends for 

 this occasion. Miss Nellie Gaffney of New 

 Rochelle, will recite some humorous Irish pieces; 

 The College Glee Club, Selections; Mr. Throck- 

 morton, Recitations, and Mr. E. BischcfF, Solos, 

 these are only a few of the "good things" in 

 store for those who are fortunate enough to 

 attend. 



During the entertainment the Roll of Honor 

 will be read by the Chairman of the Exam. 

 Committee. Following this, the President will 

 award the Alumni prizes to the Juniors. 



After the entertainment the Annual Meeting 



of the Association takes place, when, as usual, 



ofiScers will be elected for the ensuing year. 



All members are requested to remain and attend 



the meeting as very important business will be 



transacted. Members and students are cordially 



invited to attend the entertainment and bring 



their friends.
