H E publication of this booklet was sponsored jointly by the University Committee on Freshman Week and the Student Alumni Association. The Student Alumni Association, organized in 1932, has as its primary objective the furthering of interest in the University of Illinois, the creation of greater loyalty to the University among its students and its alumni, and the supplying of information to outstanding seniors in preparatory schools who are interested in the University of Illinois. The program which has been carried on by the Student Alumni Association has been especially directed toward bringing information to interested seniors in preparatory schools. Talks before high-school assemblies by members of the Student Alumni Association, the showing of the Alumni Association talking movie, "The Illini Trail," before high schools, providing copies of "The Illio," the University year book, and "The Daily Illini," student daily newspaper, to high schools in the State, have been some of the activities. On the campus of the University, the Student Alumni Association has planned and operated dances, smokers, and luncheons for groups of high-school students who have visited the campus. The Association has worked with high-school teachers who are University of Illinois Alumni in determining which of these many high-school students are interested in the University of Illinois and want further information about the University. The Student Alumni Association is supervised and sponsored by the University Alumni Association, which maintains an active contact between graduates and the University. One of the recent activities of the University Alumni Association has been the preparation of a sound-motion picture of the campus and various activities of th« University. The Student Alumni Association has sponsored the showing of this picture in a number of high schools throughout the State, particularly in some communities where citizens have not maintained active connections with the University. The Student Alumni Association is a vital and energetic organization. I n providing funds to assist in the publication of this booklet, it has done so in the spirit of service to the high-school students.
