Archives West Finding Aid

This collection contains newspaper clippings, correspondence, and reports concerning alumni activities such as banquets, Founders Day, Homecoming, and reunions; correspondence, meeting minutes, and reports relating to the administration of the Alumni Association and Alumni Clubs; and lists of alumni by class.

The collection is divided into three sections. The first contains newspaper clippings, correspondence, and reports concerning activities for alumni organized by the Alumni Association. These include the Annual Banquet (1927-1951), the Annual Meeting (1927-1940), Emeritus Club banquets (1942-1969), Founders Day (1929-1969), Homecoming (1924-1964), and individual class reunions (1892-1951). A reunion folder for a particular year contains material related to each class which held a reunion in that year. Many reunion activities were centered around Founders Day celebrations; therefore, both reunion and Founders Day folders should be consulted.

The second section contains correspondence, reports, and meeting minutes of the Alumni Association Board of Control (1924-1965). These records are concerned with the organization and administration of the Alumni Association.

The third section contains lists of Alumni Association members and officers, lists of the members of various Alumni Clubs, and lists of the members of individual classes (1875-1954). Researchers should consult reunion/Emeritus Club and Founders Day folders as well as class lists to trace individual alumni. Some individual class folders also contain correspondence related to class activities, as well as biographical information about individual class members.

Many of the reunion folders also include copies of The Utah Alumnus featuring accounts of particular reunions and the election of Alumni Association officers.
