UMAA: Last year the Alumni Association held an All Alumni Tailgate Party that provided the opportunity to stay close to the action and watch the Griz-UC Davis game on the big screen in the company of your fellow Griz fans. The tailgate party included food, beverages, prizes, and lots of fun. UM Ticket FAQ (Word)

In Memoriam: Dan Larson

The True Gentleman

The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.

- John Walter Wayland
