162 STATE BOARn OF AGRICULTTTRE 



liigli scliools. This ofllicc collected a list of 1,000 names of prospec- 

 tive students tlirongh alnnini employed as high school teachers. 



This office has also, throngh a system of sending two sample 

 copies of The Keoord each year to all former stndents, kept many 

 ill touch with the college who have no other means of knowing its 

 progress and the increasing opportunities it offers to students. This 

 has only heen done at considerable expense which has been charged 

 to The IJecord and paid from its funds. 



The Kecord is ou*^ of the very few alumni publications which do 

 not carry ])aid advertisements of the college. 



But one clerk is employed regularly in the alumni office and all 

 <-lerieal work in connection with the M. A. G. TTnion, the regular 

 alumni woik, an<l that of the Board in Control of Athletics is 

 han<lled through tliis office. Another is employed on part-time to 

 handle the affairs of the T'nion Memoi'ial Building campaign and 

 funds but her salary is paid from that fund. All equipment es- 

 jiecially purchased for the Union Memorial Building cam])aign is 

 I»aid for from that fund and supplies for that special purpose, in- 

 cluding postage, also come fi-om that source. 



The Association apjtreciates the support of the State Board of Agri- 

 culture while it is esta'blishing itself upon a firm business basis. It be- 

 lieves that, to be truly helpful, it slnmhl be entirely self-supporting 

 and is i)lanning its program to the end that within a few years it hopes 

 to be aible to conduct its att'airs without an appropriation from your 

 Board. 



All of the efforts of this Association are turned toward aiding the 

 ]uogram for a larger, more efficient M. A. C. Through close organiza- 

 tion of the alumni it is certain that they will be better able to benefit 

 the institution. The Association is always ready to aid in any program 

 looking towaid the betterment of the college; it is anxious to lend its 

 strength to such movements as will forward the aims of M. A. C. Your 

 hcl[) in building this organization will result in lasting benefit, 



A financial statement showing the disposition of the |4,'500 appro- 

 priated for this office by your Board for the fiscal year 1922-23 is at- 

 tached. Your appro]»riation of a similar amount for 1923-21: will enal»le 

 us to carry on our work but will not allow us to expand our program. 



Respectfully suil>mitted, 



ROBERT J. McCarthy,
