NEW YORK ASSOCIATION
On February 28, 1907, the Executive Committee of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of New York accepted the resignation of Doctor Francis Brown, who was elected for the second time at the annual meeting December 11, 1906. In his letter of resignation Doctor Brown states in part as follows:
"I do this with very deep regret and only in obedience to what appears to me a superior obligation.
"I have been invited to become the Director of the American School for Oriental Study and Research in Palestine for the year 1907-8, and the importance of the interests involved and my own relation to these interests make it seem my duty to accept the invitation. This will involve my absence from the United States during the next academic year and will make it impossible for me to preside at the next dinner of our association.
"The proposal has taken me entirely by surprise; if I had anticipated it in the remotest way I should, of course, have declined to allow my name to be presented for re-election, and although the post offers a valuable opportunity for service in the line of my profession, I contemplate it with very mingled feelings.
"In particular it gives me real sorrow as a Dartmouth man to be deprived of the possibility of doing something in a modest way for the local Dartmouth interests this year. It would be intolerable to me to leave the impression behind that I held those interests in light esteem or turned my back on obligations here for trifling reasons. It is only because these reasons seem to me imperative that I can venture to ask you to relieve me of the responsibilities of office."
Harry F. Towle of the class of '76, one of the vice-presidents, was elected Doctor Brown's successor. The officers of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of New York are as follows:
President, Harry F. Towle'76; vice-presidents, George F. Edgell '70: William B. Greeley '81; secretary, Kendall Banning '02; corresponding secretary, Lucius E. Varney '99; treasurer, Henry J. Stevens '88; other members of executive committee, Gilman H. Tucket' '61, John J. Hopper '77, Samuel S. Perry '80, Harold O. Bullard '84, Amasa B. Clark '80, Joseph W. Gannon '99, Clarence G. McDavitt '00, Henry M. Hobart '05.
WHEREAS:
The resignation of Doctor Francis Brown, as President of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of New York, removes an able executive and a loyal Dartmouth man from our organization, be it hereby
Resolved:
That the Executive Committee of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of New York express its pleasure in the compliment conferred upon Doctor Francis Brown by his appointment as Director of the American School for Oriental Study and Research in Palestine for the year 1907-8.
And be it further, Resolved:
That the Committee, in behalf of the Association, express its regret at the loss of his service as President and its appreciation of his interest in the excellent work done by him for the Association during the past year.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
The Dartmouth College Association of Southern California elected the following officers at its last meeting; President, Doctor George A. Gates, vice president, Doctor C. B. Nichols; secretary and treasurer, George H. Beaudry. The attendance at the meeting deserves comment, for all of the Dartmouth men within a radius of twenty or thirty miles of Los Angeles, except two, were present. This was largely due to the efforts of Mr. Blatner, the retiring secretary, to whom a vote of thanks was recorded.

Dustan, secretary of the club, of his visit to Hanover a week before to attend the meeting of the. Secretaries' Association.

He gave his report as secretary of the club, saying the average attendance at the club lunches had been steadily growing each year and last year it was much better than the year before, the average last year being more than forty-three. He offered his report as treasurer, showing a balance of $9, which is more than double the balance of a year ago,.

Littlefield and Senator John P. Sanborn of Newport, of the class of '69; Walter H. Small '78, superintendent of the local public schools; Reverend H. I.

Carr and others of the alumni located in Providence brought together shortly after seven o'clock at the Grown Hotel those who took part in the formation of the club and for a half-hour or so there was a pleasant season of introductions, of exchanges .of stories and in some cases happy reunions. Then with Senator John P. Sanborn acting as toastmaster the party sat down to a delightful dinner, which was enlivened by the singing of Dartmouth songs and further "swapping" of reminiscences.
With the clearing away of the remnants of the last course and an explanation on the part of Mr. Carr as to the object and aims of the organization, Senator Sanborn addressed the party with a stirring speech in which laudations of President Tucker were contained in a brilliant review of the growth of Dartmouth from its four or five small buildings to its present quota of twenty or twenty-five beautiful structures, and its development from an enrollment of less than 300 to over 1000.
