ALUMNI REUNIONS Colorado-I am a little late in m y report of the Illinois Alumni in attendance at the Colorado Library Association held at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs in October. As you know, the Broadmoor is a gay and swanky resort hotel so we not only enjoyed fine meeting hut also all the excellent opportunities for fun which the hotel affords. There were only a few IHini in attendance but we made ourselves known at the formal dinner party on Saturday night. The only real news of importance is that Mary Ella McConnell is now Mrs. Johnson. She was present, as was also Grace Andrews of Colorado Springs. Others in attendance were Henry Waltemade of the University of Colorado, and from Denver, Vera Campbell, Edna Gustafson, Harriet Howe Florence Pickett Foltz and myself.—BEATRICE HOLT Indiana—We had a breakfast meeting of the Illinois Library School graduates during the Indiana Library Association meeting. There were thirteen or fourteen present. Miss Margaret T u r k of the Indiana State Library had charge of the arrangements. The group is fairly active here, at least we get together for a dinner meeting about twice a year besides the I. L. A. breakfast. There is no formal organization, one or two persons being selected each time to plan the next meeting.—GLEN R. MAYNARD Kentucky—The Illinois Library School Alumni Association of Kentucky held an informal breakfast meeting at the Brown Hotel, October 14, during the meeting of the Kentucky Library Association in Louisville. Those present were Lena B. Nofcier, '28, Library Extension Division, Frankfort, Kentucky; Elizabeth Hanson, '27, University of Kentucky; Mrs. Alene Christine, '27, Louisville Free Public Library; Mrs. Mary Powell Sublett, '38, University of Louisville Library; Evelyn J. Schneider, '30, Librarian, University of Louisville; Ruth Graham Field, '36, '38, University of Louisville Library; Marethal Burquin, '37, Louisville Free Public Library. Miss Schneider gave a very interesting report on the Alumni dinner in San Francisco in honor of Dr. Windsor. Mrs. Mary Powell Sublett was elected Secretary-treasurer for the coming year, and Ruth Graham Field, President.—RUTH GRAHAM FIELD Missouri-Kansas—I am enclosing a list of those present at our little get-together which was in the form of a breakfast meeting Saturday morning, October 28th. There were 33 present, two of whom were guests. I think we were particularly fortunate to have Miss Krieg with us. She told us news of the school, faculty, status of placement and the Windsor fund. It was good to have her give us the latest news first hand. I didn't succeed in scaring up many news items—only two or three that I'll append to the list of those attending the breakfast. . . , I am glad we can get together as Illinois Alumni at these various and sundry meetings and conventions. It has always struck me that there has seemed to be a particular spirit of unity or call-it-what-you-will among the Library School alumns. Maybe it's because we're proud to be one Those present at the meeting were Mildred Forney, Cenlla Say lor, Yeheve Goldner, Gladys Judy, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Kohlstedt, Kathryn Adams, Esther Park, Frances E. Wallace, Mae Cowden, Harriet Nordhem.
