ASSOCIATION OF THE GREAT DIVIDE

There was a meeting held on Tuesday evening, the 4th of Sept., of the Dartmouth Alumni of the Great Divide, at the University Club in this city. The members met in the pipe and bowl room of the club and enjoyed a “Dutch lunch.” There were present as guests of the association four men who enter Dartmouth from Denver this fall, one or two who are already undergraduates at Hanover, several who graduated during this present year, as well as the older members of the alumni. It was reported that Colorado will be represented in Dartmouth this coming year by fifteen men, the largest number we have ever had in Dartmouth at any one time. It was also stated that the number would be added to next year! by at least six men who have already signified their intention to enter in 1907. Dartmouth has now a permanent hold upon this section of the country.

Our local organization was strengthened this year by the enrollment of D. J. Main and J. A. Blatherwick, both of the class of 1906, who have entered upon business lives in Denver. Much enthusiasm was aroused at the meeting by their report of the wonderful improvements made at Dartmouth and of the steady progress the old College is making. They introduced many songs new to the older men present and helped to make the meeting a memorable one.

There has never been so much interest manifested in Dartmouth throughout this region as there is in the present year. Denver is the rallying point for the alumni just now, but Dartmouth men are penetrating into every nook and corner of this and adjacent states, and a movement is on foot that will result in doubling the representation in Dartmouth from this territory.
