Lewis Institute Bulletin: Alumni Number; July, 1913 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lewis Institute Bulletin: Alumni Number; July, 1913 This issue Of the Bulletin contains information concerning six hundred college graduates, five hundred academy graduates, two hundred former students, and fifty apprentice graduates. These numbers are not exact; 640, 520, 230, 50 would be more accurate. Members of the classes of 1913 are not included, except in the apprentice list. These fourteen hundred by no means represent the total num ber of our graduates, but they do represent those from whom the Lewis Union has been able to elicit information by the system of stamped return post cards. Every effort has been made to render the system effective. Whenever an invitation is returned by the post Office, inspection is at once made Of all available directories to see whether addresses have been changed. Scores Of new addresses are thus found, and the invitations sent out again. When directories give out, the Services Of personal acquaintances are freely drawn upon; for it can hardly be assumed that a man's first duty in changing his address is to notify the old school. For two years now all invitations have closed with a gentle threat that names would have to be dropped from the Bulletin if the stamped cards were not returned. And this year the threat has reluctantly been carried into execution. It has given nobody any pleasure to do this, especially as it is certain that in many cases the fault must be laid to the post Office or to the machinery Of invitation. We are hoping that the cry will be raised, Why was I not in the Bulletin? Why do I no longer receive invitations to the Reunion? The list Of invitations for next year is the list contained in this Bulletin. May it be largely increased by the protest of indignant alumni here omitted. Graduates are classified as college, academy, and apprentice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
