INTRODUCTION.
To the Alumni of West Virginia University:

    The alumni of any institution of learning are its greatest asset and the
closer the connection between them and the Alma Mater the better. For this
reason your Alma Mater has made it a special task as one of the features of the
celebration of its fiftieth anniversary to hunt out as far as possible the
graduates of these fifty years and list them anew and mail this list to every
living alumnus. Many of these alumni had not been heard from for several years
and ten are still missing at this writing. The 1500 now living and found are
scattered through forty-four states, nine foreign countries, District of
Columbia, Porto Rico, and the Hawaiian Islands. Hundreds have remained in West
Virginia and are found in the lead in all trades, professions and occupations, a
body of men and women of whom any institution may justly feel proud.

    During the early years of the University lists of alumni were published from
time to time as part of the annual catalogue. A more complete list, "The Alumni
Record," prepared by Waitman Barbe was published by the Alumni Association in
1903. In 1913 an "Address List of Alumni" was prepared by James Scott Stewart,
Waitman Barbe and David Dale Johnson, an editorial committee appointed by the
Board of Regents.

    The present list was compiled by Rex B. Hersey, Secretary of the University
Y. M. C. A. Mr. Hersey's work has been carefully revised by the President and
the University editor and extended comparisons have been made not only with the
previous lists of 1903 and 1913 but with the catalogues and the original records
of the Regents, the Executive Committee and the Faculty, and it is believed that
the pages following contain accurate and complete lists of the graduates of West
Virginia University from 1870 to the present time. For greater convenience three
lists are given: one by classes, one alphabetically arranged, and one showing
living alumni grouped according to their place of residence.

    Information as to any of the missing alumni whose names are found on the
enclosed slip or as to any errors or omissions in regard to names, dates or
present addresses which you may detect will be very gladly received.

    The University is anxious to keep in close touch with you and to that end
will always welcome any information in regard to your movements and
achievements. This is still your University. Has it helped you by making you
able to cope successfully in life's struggles? If so, show your gratitude by
keeping in close touch with us and by lending your influence wherever you can
for the advancement and upbuilding of your fostering mother.
                                FRANK B. TROTTER.
May 15, 1917.
