There are between forty-five and fifty Dartmouth alumni within a radius of sixty miles of Philadelphia, and about thirty-five of these live in Philadelphia. Twenty-two met Tuesday evening, December 18, at a dinner at Boothby's and decided to organize a Philadelphia Dartmouth Association. Lots of Dartmouth spirit was manifest. Most of the men were unknown to each other when they assembled ; before the evening was over they were all warm friends. Frequent meetings were desired by all.
Temporary officers elected were: B. T. Blake '63, president; E. N. McMillan '01, secretary and treasurer; B. T. Scales '95, assistant secretary and treasurer.
A committee was appointed to draw up constitution and by-laws to be submitted at the next meeting some time in February. Every Dartmouth man known to the secretary, living near Philadelphia, will be invited to attend the next meeting,and it is desired that in the BI-MONTHLY paragraph devoted to this any one who has not already been reached by the secretary's letters be urged to send in his name and address; for every Dartmouth man in this section is wanted in this membership.
