UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

After a time, a second circular will be sent, giving more in detail plans, etc., also a list of those who have already signified their intention of coming, and so on. We shall leave nothing undone to make our reunion a grand success. We believe this will be one of the greatest means t h a t can be used to stimulate the interests of the Alumni in the University. We believe t h a t its complete success can be assured, if we may have not alone the efforts of our own numbers, but the cordial and hearty cooperation as well of the Faculty and Trustees. One of our number has already been detailed to lay our plans and wishes before the Faculty. I now, on behalf of your graduates, have endeavored to give your body an idea of our plans. We invite your counsel, or criticism, or advice, as may be; but in whatever we undertake we desire most of all your good will, your efforts and assistance in such ways as may be open, and your personal efforts, as far as convenient. Respectfully,

W. A. HEATH,

President Alumni
