XXVIII APRIL, 1930 No. 2 STUDENT DRIVE WELL UNDER WAY Many Alumni Interested Wesleyan is putting on a determined drive to have 300 high type students in their incoming freshmen class next fall: The campaign is under way now. A short time ago Dr. Davidson wrote to all the alumni and urged them to take a personal interest in this drive. To date more than sixty have taken time to write Dr. Davidson and assure liim that they are glad to cooperate. Some of the alumni report that they have already started organizing their county, one prominent alumnus writes in part, "It is my plan to invite all the Wesleyan alumni of this city to attend a meeting in the very near future to discuss the contents of your letter and if possible to suggest a list of prospects to be visited personally by two or more of the alumni. I certainly approve of the plan you have hit upon for I believe that in maters of this kind it is absolutely essential to get the personal touch." The Alumni Secretary is speaking at high school assemblies in McLean county and as soon as this territory is covered will go to other vantage points about the state. His subject is "The Small College and Illi-nois Wesleyan." The following people are the ones who have written to Dr. Davidson favorably re-garding the student drive: Louise Bach, Carbondale, Ill.O;. C. Tau-beneck, Amboy, Ill.; Orville Roll, Cullonm, Ill.; P. M. Hoke, Long Point, Ill.; C. H. Wright, Mt. Olive, Ill.; W. Dayton Keyes, Maroa, Ill.; Mrs. Verda Cline Dahler, Ab-ingdon, Ill.; R. F.

Cass, Raymond, Ill.; 25 YEARS AT WESLEYAN This January, Prof. Cliff Guild finished his twenty-fifth year at Wesleyan. For many years Mr. Guild was head of the Mathematics department, but for the past ten years has been registrar and bursar. He is next to Professor Ferguson in seniority. Wesleyan feels greatly indebted to Mr. Guild for the many years of great service he has given our Alma Mater. CONTRIBUTIONS! ! ! Where-are the contributions to the- Alumni Bulletin? It would be very easy to fill this publication up with news of the stu-dent body, but the alumni want news of the alumni, too; the only way we have of getting this is from YOU. Sit down and write us an item or two about yourself or a friend who is from Wesleyan. ..Joyce Brabner-Smith, '28, of New York City, has volunteered to write a story for the Bulletin, telling of the alumni in New York City. This is a splendid idea and the editor is hoping that Wesleyan alumni in all sections will write an article telling what the Wesleyan alumni about them are doing. J. F. Witter, Rock Island, Ill.; Frances Prothero, Rutland, Ill.; Gladys Stoner, Varna,' Ill.; H. G. Moore, Sullivan, Ill.; T. O. White, Jr., Tolono, Ill.; B. W. Getz, Tremont, Ill.; Roy W. Stocking, Victoria, Ill.; L. W. Luce, W. Frankfort, Ill.; C. E. Liston, Williamsville, Ill. OLD TIMERS ARE AWARDED LETTERS Unique Banquet Success March 10th, 1930, was the day for the old timers from Wesleyan. The Wesleyan ath-letes who had carried on for the Green and White in athletics prior to 1896 were at last rewarded for . their valiant services. Through the efforts of Fred L. Muhl, ten of these former Wesleyan stars were-gath-ered together, feted at a banquet where 125 former Wesleyan athletes were present and presented with varsity letters and sweaters. The success of the banquet goes entirely to Mr. Muhl, who has been planning such a gathering for several years. Adlai H. Rust, '14, served as toastmaster and in turn introduced Vice-President Wil-bert Ferguson, chairman of the athletic council, who presented the official sweater and letter of the university to each of the old-timers, who had not received his just reward previously for competition on the athletic field. The period from 1886 to 1896 was the period covered in the awards. Each of the honored guests responded with interesting stories of the days when the flying wedge and nose guards were "the thing" and no one was troubled by such a regulation as an eligibility code. W. W. Whitmore of Bloomington, who played football and participated in track from '88 to '94, was the first to be honored. W. O. Ireland of Peoria, who played foot-ball at Wesleyan 39 years ago, told of his experiences in the early days, and Dr. Charles E. Shultz of Bloomington recalled the period in the early nineties. Eugene D. Funk, who has attained na-tional fame in agricGultural-cir s--was an .. "import" from Yale in the days when the "bootleg" football player was common, re-ceived the official- insignia of the college for services rendered. Wave Miller of Quincy told of the forma-tions and the requirements in his day, when the boys with the long hair and good frames were the boys in demand. James P. Bicket, editor of the Chicago Evening American, was another veteran to' be honored. He told the inside story of how the boys of his day got Edgar N. Hea-fer to tile Wilder field. Just to prove that he did play on the Wesleyan team, Mr. Bicket proudly displayed a photograph of Fred Culp and he taken in their football suit of that period. Others who were presented sweaters and letters were Judge James Riley of Bloom-ington and Edgar N. Heafer, Jr., both of whom were three-sport men, Amos John-son, captain of Wesleyan's championship eleven of '99, and Noah Henline of Mem-phis, Tenn., who enjoyed a long and suc-cessful career in the major leagues. Heafer's career covered 10 years at Wes-leyan, and in this time he served as captain three years.
