Society of the Alumni.
Alumni Hall.—One of the University Buildings (on East Range)
has been recently set aside by action of the Board and fitted up for
the accommodation of visiting Alumni. Here they will find comfortable
lodging and sitting-rooms as well as some one ready to show
them around the University and introduce them to professors and
students. This is a temporary provision for the accommodation of the
Alumni until the necessary funds can be collected for the erection of
a permanent Alumni Hall, subscriptions for which are now being
taken. It is hoped that this will form headquarters for those of the
Alumni who from time to time visit the alma mater. Some of the
Alumni have already taken advantage of it.
