After some discussion, it was de- promi'e~ to cided that the regular annual dues run providi
would be $2.00: one dollar to go tc
the association treasury, and one to
go for the Meteor which is to be sent
to every alumnus, and to pay inci- fnr the hon dental expenses of the secretary's practice ev office. It was further suggested, as a
means of building up a reserve fund,
that each member contribute one tom.
dollar for each year that he has been away from the school, up to ten dol- lars or more if the individual alumnus feels able.
