Alumni Office Sees All, Knows All,
Tells All about 55,000 Ex-students
. . . Throughout World
Did you ever have trouble keep
ing track of your friends? Well,
your hypothetical troubles are
mild compared to the gigantic
task which the alumni office has
taken upon itself, for it keeps tab
on, not one or two or even a
dozen, but 55,000 individuals!
Yea, the alumni office keeps an
amazingly complete record, of not
only Nebraska graduates, but also
anyone who ever attended school
here. In the office are systematic
rows of card files in which every
former Nebraska student has his
own separate card, telling his
name, class year, degree (if he
received one), a complete list of
addresses sinc leaving school,
present occupation as well as all
occupational changes, membership
record in the alumni association,
relatives through whom he can be
traced, and a personal record tell
ing his campus affiliations, the
number of years he attended
school, whom he married, divorces
and remarriages, children, and
just about everything he ever did.
In other words, the alumni of
fice takes up your career the min
ute you leave school and follows
it throughout your life.
Why So Much Work?
Whv does the association go to
90 much trouble and expense to
keep a record of Nebraska s
alumni ? It is merely another of
the many and diversified services
which the association periorms.
T.itprallv thousands of phone calls
are received by the office every
month requesting information con
cerning alumni. The majority of
these are made by newspapers
radio stations and business firms,
but there are also a large numDer
of personal calls.
ThP rtnta romniled in the files
brings to light many interesting
facts about former students. For
, onnt-nv mnte V ,iU per
instance, ai'ff- - . .
cent of all alumni nave himh
other Nebraska students, nu
about 25,000 have remained in Ne
braska to pursue their vocations.
Of those who have gone to other
parts of the United States, there
are 1,000 in Los Angeles, 2,500 in
the entire state of California,
1,100 in Chicago, 700 in New York,
300 in Kansas City, 400 in Den
ver, 250 in Seattle, and 500 in
Washington, D. C.
Naturally, it is a tremendous
task to keep the cards up-to-date,
nnd this is accomplished bv sev
eral methods. The postoffice keepd

changes in address gleaned frdfu
the alumni publications mailed
out. Secretaries of the 40 alumni
clubs attempt to keep them in
formed in regard to alumni in
their citiesv' many voluntary con
tributions come in, daily newspa
pers are scanned for items con
cerning alumni, and members of
the association staff collect a con
siderable amount in traveling over
the country.
