Do you Sxpect to J^ivey^ore years

ALUMNAE! Do you expect to live seven and a half years? Or
do you hope to live fifteen, twenty-five, or fifty years to come?
" If your life expectancy is the latter, some of you are poor econo-
mists.

Some of you have paid for a life subscription to To DRAGMA in
yearly sums now; you just haven't taken time to figure out the fact
that at $2.00 a year,'you have only seven and a half years to live
to have bought a life subscription. You go on paying your yearly dues,
which for non-life subscribers includes the magazine subscription, with-
out a thought. Perhaps $15 seems quite a sum in one payment, but
remember that once paid the magazine is yours for life.

Yearly subscriptions aren't very successful either. You complain
that you have paid your dues, and yet you don't get the magazine.
We check the complaint, usually finding that your subscription has
expired in May or perhaps October, but your treasurer has failed to
mail the dues with the renewal in time to reach the Central Office
before the wrappers have been sent to the printers; or, perhaps, you
are late with your dues, and the treasurer having only a few dollars
to send in, waits for more stragglers, delaying the renewal still further.

If you are an annual subscriber, we attempt to locate you if yod
move and fail to notify us, but we can't make the prolonged effort
we do if (life) appears after your name. We've found that people
whose names are followed by that magic word are quicker to let us
know of their whereabouts.

In each issue of To DRAGMA this year there will be a list of thosd
who, believing that they will be long-lived and practicing economy,
subscribe for the magazine for life. Life subscriptions should be sent]
directly to the Grand Treasurer, Mrs. F . H . Matson, 2116 St. Clailj
Saint Paul, Minnesota.
