President E. J. James, President University of Illinois: * DEAR PRESIDENT JAMES—I wish to report that the Alumni Record which the board of trustees commissioned me to prepare has been published and distributed to subscribers. The book is a volume of 710 pages, plus five inserts. It contains 31 pages of annals of the University, the biographies of 2,540 baccalaureate, ,26 graduates and 32 honorary alumni; of 284 members of the faculty, past and: present, not graduates of the University of Illinois, of 77 members of boards of trustees of this institution, and the names and addresses of 374 students who were given degrees in 1906. It contains further a directory of alumni associations of the University of Illinois, a geographical and biographical index. Fifteen hundred copies of the book were issued, 1,300 bound in cloth, 200 in paper covers. Of these approximately 1,100 in cloth have been sold at $1.50 each, and 170 in paper covers at $1.00 each. The 1,270 orders were received in reply to the one notice sent to the graduates. In compiling the book more than 10,000 circular letters and 650 personal letters were sent out. Of the alumni who have thus far remitted for the record nearly one-half have sent commendatory notes, and I am receiving from them, daily, notice of changes of address and occupation, lists of alumni in various cities, and in two instances, of intention to organize alumni clubs. These things indicate a gratifying amount of lively interest among the alumni, and are, I believe, a sufficient justification of the worK which has now for the present been completed. Very respectfully yours,

F R A N K W. SCOTT, Editor.
