SOCIETY OF ALUMNI.
This Association is composed of such former students of the
University as, having finally left the Institution, have been elected
members at the annual meetings. Its objects are the promotion of
letters and general education, as well as the renewal from year to
year of the pleasing associations of academic life.
The Society holds its meetings at the close of the session. An
orator or an essayist is annually appointed by the Society from
among its members, and the oration or essay is delivered in the
Public Hall on the day preceding the Public Day.
