At each Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel there will be maintained a card index of the names of all the resident alumni of all the participating institutions. This will be of especial benefit to traveling alumni in locating classmates and friends. The current issues of the alumni publications of all the participating institutions will be on file at each Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel. Reservation cards-will be available at the clerk's desk in each des ignated hotel and at the alumni office in each college or university. These reservation cards will serve as a great convenience to travel lers in securing advance accommodations. The managers" of all Intercollegiate Alumni Hotels are prepared to cooperate with individual alumni to the fullest extent and are also prepared to assist in the creation of new local alumni associations and in the development and extension of the activities of those already formed.

The funds to insure the success of the Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel movement are being advanced by the designated hotels, which have been selected after a careful study of their fitness for participation. The committee on organization, the activities of which are controlled by a special group of the members of the Alumni Magazines Associated, has incorporated a non-profit corporation known as the Intercollegiate Alumni Extension Service, Inc., which will direct the policies of the Intercollegiate Alumni Hotel movement and serve as a coordinating unit between the alumni organizations and the designated hotels.

BUDDHA, who was born a prince, gave up his name, succession, and his heritage to attain serenity.

We do not have to give up the world; we have only to see a life insurance agent, who can sell us security for the future, the most direct step to serenity of mind. The next John Hancock agent who calls on you may be able to put you on the road to serenity. Isn't it worth while to see him? A STRONG COMPANY, Over Sixty Years in Business.
