BOARD OF GOVERNORS
Plans Barrage of Activities
Taking a leaf from the book of the
Administration at Washington, the Villa-
nova College. Alumni Association’s
Board of Governors is going ahead with
plans for alumni events and activities at
express train rate.
The last meeting of the Board, with
the college playing host at dinner, was
held at Villanova on Sunday, February
19. After clearing through a mass of
details decisions were taken on a variety
of alumni projects.
Alumni Week-End in June
made for an Alumni Week-end in June
at the college.. Commencement will be
held on Thursday, June 7, and the Board
has tentatively reserved June 1, 2, and
8, Friday, Saturday and Sunday preced-
ing, for the annual alumni reunion.
An extensive program has been out-
lined so alumni will have plenty to do
and every opportunity to enjoy them-
selves. An Alumni-Varsity baseball
game, a reception to the Senior Class,
the annual business meeting and alumni
dinner at the college, an informal dance
in Philadelphia, reunions of the Classes
of 1929 and 1924—are among the events
planned. Details are being worked out
with the college and committees are in
process of being named.
Constitution Approved on S
A report of the vote solicited on the~°
Constitution during January from the
general alumni body was made to the
Board and read into the minutes. The
vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the
Constitution prepared by the Board and
was Officially adopted as of February 19,
Retreat in September
The date for the second Alumni Re-
treat was shifted from June to the end
of the summer. So placing it at the end
of the vacation period prevents conflict
with the ~“Alumni~ Week-end~ that is”
planned and comes at a time, it is felt,
when the notion and purpose of retreat
makes its greatest appeal. The calm,
serene beauty of the campus is at its
best in early September and the absence
of both students and faculty creates an
atmosphere pleasantly conducive to quiet
introspection.
Matthew <A. Lynch, ’28, has been
placed in charge of arrangements. Mr.
Lynch has had considerable experience
in this work, both in Philadelphia and at
St. Joseph’s-in-the-Hills at Malvern, and
is enthusiastically co-operating with the
Rev. William F. Sheedy, O. S. A., re-
treat master last year, in planning the
extension of the retreat movement.
Homecoming Game, October 20
Looking far forward, the Board
selected October 20, the day of the De-
troit game at Villanova, as the day for
Fall Homecoming. The game is un-
doubtedly the best home game on the
schedule. The date was selected, how-
ever, only on condition that prices to the
alumni be not more than $1.65. Seats
on the fifty-yard line will be reserved
as usual.
Of first.importance were arrangements...
