THE NEW DARTMOUTH CLUB IN PITTSBURG.

As a result of efforts put forth during the last two months by Dartmouth men in Pittsburg, twenty-five enthusiastic alumni gathered at the Fort Pitt Hotel, Pittsburg, on Saturday evening, February 3, 1906, for the purpose of forming a permanent organization.

A constitution was submitted and unanimously adopted.

The following permanent officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Judge A. Y. Barker '72, Ebensburg, Pa. ; first vice president, W. G. Carr '84; second vice president, Professor A. E. Frost '72; secretary and treasurer, L. H. W. French '88; executive committee, the above officers ex-officio, and W. R. Jarvis '93, John Wood '99, J. W. Knapp '86, James Conlon.

An important and remarkable fact, in connection with this gathering, is that every one present occupies a prominent and responsible position in his respective field.

It was a typical gathering of typical Dartmouth men, whose earnest determination to give Dartmouth its proper position in the minds of all within the region covered by the Club, who may be interested in college affairs, should result in turning the attention of many to Dartmouth who now can see nothing but Yale or Princeton.

After the business meeting, the banquet was held in the private dining room of the Fort Pitt, which was elaborately decorated with potted plants and cut flowers; and the College colors were in evidence on every hand.

Judge A. Y. Barker, President of the Club, acted as toastmaster and the following toasts were responded to :

W. G. Carr '84, "Alma Mate," A. E. Frost '72, "The Dartmouth That We Knew;" L. H. W. French '88, "Let Not the Old Traditions Fail;" J. W. Knapp '86, " The Dartmouth Co-Eds;" R. P. Balph '05, "Our Future."

Each address was replete with humorous and serious thoughts, appropriate to, the occasion, and characterized by the genuine Dartmouth spirit. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that none of them had ever attended a more enthusiastic or successful gathering of Dartmouth men.

Among those present in addition to the ones named above were: L. O. Livingston '58, George R. Harlow '78, George F. Sparhawk '89, J. L. Merrill '93; and other who represented the classes from 1900 to 1905.

Secretary, L. H. W. French, 6007 CenterAvenue, Pittsburg.
