Biographical notes:

The Society of the Alumni of Louisiana State University has existed since at least 1884. It was incorporated under the leadership of Lewis S. Graham on June 19, 1905, to maintain contact among graduates and former students, award student scholarships, and support the university financially. It evolved into the LSU Alumni Federation during the 1920s with its main objective to encourage alumni memberships through contributions and to maintain contact with graduates through chapters, reunions, and meetings. It became a private, self-sufficient entity on July 1, 1985, and was renamed the LSU Alumni Association in 1987. It financed wholly or partially the construction of the Lod Cook Alumni Center (1994), the LSU War Memorial (1998), the Lod & Carole Cook Conference Center and Hotel (2001), and the Jack & Priscilla Andonie Museum (2004).
