Ball State University Alumni Association Printed Ephemera and Records
Administrative History
The Ball State University Alumni Association was founded when the first class of the Indiana State
Normal School, Eastern Division graduated in 1919. This group functioned until 1926 when a more
formal organization, presided by R. Nelson Snider. The Alumni Association evolved from its informal
beginnings to a dues-paying organization in 1939. Since 1954 the organization has effectively
incorporated an annual alumni fund into its structure, replacing the dues-paying system.
The Alumni Association has been a national leader in its involvement with student campus leaders. It has
successfully sponsored homecomings to include an array of activities supported by more than 400 student
volunteers. In 1965, the Alumni Association sponsored the founding of the Ball State Student Foundation,
and in 1985 the group organized the Student Alumni Relations Team (St.A.R.T.).
