Alumni Fraternalism. 



• 



" What Do I Get for My Two Dollars ?" is not the only question of in- 

 terest to the thoughtful, valiant, companionable Alumni member. " What 

 Do I Give for My Two Dollars ?" is a subject of equally as much impor- 

 tance. 



There can be no harm in reiterating the statement that the Alumni 

 member who is in it only for the material benefits, and who cares nothing 

 for nor contributes anything to the fraternal worth of the organization, is 

 not the hope, the anchor, the keystone, and all that sort of thing, of the 

 great brotherhood. 



The Alumni's material benefits are of considerable moment — indeed 

 they are "a whole lot " — but they are not everything. 



The Alumni emblem should stand as a fraternal pledge on the part of 

 the person wearing it to make the Alumni membership of every brother 

 and sister member a highly-prized possession, as pleasant as it is profitable. 



"It is more blessed to give than to receive," really means much. In 

 an organization in which are such happy fraternal possibilities as are pos- 

 sessed by the Alumni Association, a spirit of good fellowship, of comradery, 

 is everything. It wirl be well for the members, individually and as an organ- 

 ization, not to overlook the social, fraternal side of Alumni membership, 

 for therein lies the happiest and strongest tie that shall continue to bind 

 together the vast brotherhood, the motto of which might appropriately be, 

 Non nobis solum — " Not for ourselves merely."
