ALUMNI RELATIONS A N D RECORDS BUDGET (2) There is an item of $2,200 in the Alumni Relations and Records budget for senior subscriptions. I n the past this has been used to provide membership for one year in the Alumni Association (including a subscription to the Illinois Alumni News) for each student graduating from the University. Such a small proportion of these graduates have renewed their memberships at the end of the free term that the Directors of the Alumni Association, at a meeting held on July 22, 1939, recommended that this money be used in some other way, specifically $1,200 for general membership promotion and $1,000 for travel in connection therewith.
