N EW  DORMITORY  TO  BUILDING  PROGRAM 
Q T R E S S I NG  t he  administrative  policy

BEQUEST  PROGRAM  IMPORTANT  FACTOR 
In  touching  upon  t he  bequests  made 
in  behalf  of  Cornell  university  a nd 
equally  true  of  other 
institutions,  Mr. 
Flack  declared  " In  years  gone  by,  col 
the 
leges  a nd  universities  have  h ad 

t h at 

the  making  of  wills  and 
feeling 
bequests  was  a  very  delicate 
subject 
a nd  one  which  should  not  be  discussed 
in  university  a nd  alumni  publications. 
It  is  our  experience  t h at  t he  alumni  do 
not  resent  t he  suggestion  t h at  t he  Uni 
versity  will  welcome  bequests;  this  idea 
is  stressed  frequently 
in  our  publica 
tions,  a nd  we  feel  t h at  t he  success  of 
our  program  has  been  due  to  a  larg3 
extent  to  t he frequent  articles  published 
on  this  subject."

The  place  of  the  class  secretary  a nd 
t he  organization  of  t he  class  as  one  of 
the  most 
important  alumni  units  was 
discussed  by  Ray  Riggs,  class  secretary 
of  t he  1926  class.  He  showed  types  of 
class  bulletins  and  letters  used  in  arous
