 
The Alumni Department, having for its object news about old students, their occupations, &c., cannot fail to be one of the most interesting and commendable features of The Archive. To the Alumni it is especially interesting, and in order that this department may accomplish that for which it was intended, it must necessarily be supplied with proper material. This material can be obtained only through the Alumni and former students themselves, who are earnestly requested to forward any information concerning themselves, as to their occupation, location, &c., and any change of either. The editors urge and greatly hope that the postals sent you, asking for this desired information, will be promptly answered, thereby contributing largely to the pleasure of acquaintances and to the success of the department. —W. C. Gannon, ’56, a prominent minister of the North Carolina Conference, is now stationed at Monroe, N. C. —B. J. Bell is merchandising in Beaufort, N. C., and is also Sunday School Superintendent. —G.

He expresses the hope, that in a few years he can patronize his Alma Mater by sending his boys here. Dr. Ingram, like a great many of the Alumni, has a warm attachment to Trinity and is doing all he can to promote her interests. He wishes to meet all the class of ’78 at the next annual commencement. —H. L.
