Formed in 1897 at Indianapolis by twenty-three graduates called together by Mr. G. B. Leighton '88 the association has grown year by year in both size and scope and has served especially to connect the University more closely with the West and Middle West. Meetings have been held heretofore at all the larger cities west of New England and including New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and Detroit, but this year will mark the first attempt to bring the meeting back to the site of the University...

From hotel, from restaurant, from the theatre, and then from city to city, he has been hounded by the none too gentle jibes of his countrymen. Everywhere...
...these days of street cars and automobiles there is little indeed to connect Boston with the City of the Faithful-- Bagdad. Nonetheless the spirit of the Arabian Nights is with us still, Who does not recall how the Sultan, Harounel- Rashid accompanied by his trusty Vizier was wont to slip out of the palace gates by night and wander over the city, seeing how matters fared with the people.
