From its creation in 1849 the Alumni Association has provided fellowship for the school's graduates and service to the school. The Association provides fellowship by maintaining an up-to-date list of its members, their addresses and careers, and by sponsoring reunions where alumni renew old friendships. It provides service in a number of ways: initially by starting the school's first employment bureau, and after 1883, raising funds for special projects including monuments, student loans and scholarships, student housing, and campus buildings. This exhibit is sponsored by the University Libraries' M. E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives.
