University of Virginia Library

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.
