ASSOCIATION OP THE PLAIN

The tenth annual reunion of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of the Plain was held at the Commercial Club rooms in Omaha on the evening of January 25, 1907. The guest of honor was President Tucker. An exceptionally pleasant evening was passed, there being present a full attendance of the alumni living in the neighborhood of Omaha.

To quote from a local press notice the gathering was very much one of gray-haired men and among these the patriarch was Reverend Wood of Aurora of the class of '44, who holds the distinction of being one of the oldest living alumni of Dartmouth College, and who anticipates celebrating his ninetieth birthday on March 25 of this year.

The principal address of the evening was, of course, President Tucker's, and what he had to say was listened to with intense interest. It is the custom of this association to invite the ladies to be present, and it was very pleasant to have the opportunity of entertaining Mrs. Tucker.

The following is a list of the toasts:
