Thursday evening, April 26, is the time scheduled on the A. L. A. program tor the Library School reunions. Last year at Detroit there were one hundred twenty-six of us IHinoisans at the banquet which was followed by the business meeting. Those of us who were privileged to be there felt a renewed interest in our Alma Mater and the bond of fellowship was strengthened. As the roll was called by classes it was indeed interesting to see who and how many woula respond. Almost without exception each class was represented. I believe it was one of the largest reunions we have ever had. There are between seven and eight hundred of us who have gone out from Illinois either with a library degree or with some library school training. May we not have a larger attendance at our reunion this year than ever before? If any of you have any suggestions of anything that we can do for our Alma Mater bring them. Last year some one suggested that it would be a good idea to have an Illinois Library School song. Won't some of you set your wits to working and compose some verses set to a familiar and popular air which we can use at our meetings? Possibly some of the students now in the library school may have an inspiration. It seems to me a song suitable for use either in the library school club meetings or at our reunions would have its influence in deepening our loyalty to our school. I have been told that Miss Ethel Bond of the faculty is planning to be at A. L. A. Send your songs to her either at the University of Illinois before April 21, 1923, or Hot Springs, Arkansas, care of the Eastman Hotel, before April 26th. I hope we may have several songs submitted. All of you who are at Hot Springs, watch the bulletin board at the A. L. A. headquarters in the Eastman Hotel for further announcements. Come prepared to give as well as receive inspiration. To those of you who cannot be with us, we shall be sorry that you cannot and we would gladly welcome any message from you. Very sincerely yours, Kansas State Agricultural College Manhattan, Kansas GRACE E - DERBY PrtsUtnt
