SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION

The annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Southern California was held at the Angelus Hotel in Los Angeles February 5. The number of men in this territory is of course limited, but the meeting made up in spirit and enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers and it was a representative Dartmouth meeting in every way. The following officers were elected: President, Chas. B. Nichols '72 D.M.C. ; vice president, F. P. Brackett '87; secretary and treasurer, Henry K. Norton '05.

After the business was disposed of, music, anecdote, and jollification held sway well into the night. A matter of great interest to all was the news of the formation of a California Club at; Dartmouth with a membership of six. This club, with the keen interestand wide-awake spirit of the alumniin this territory, should be the means of bringing about increasingly large attendance from the Golden State. It should also be the means of bringing many graduates who go to one place or another, without any particular reason, to start in business, to California. The opportunities in the West are innumerable and the association is ready to correspond with and help in every way possible men considering a start out here.

The association sends greetings to the alumni associations of other parts of the country and pledges its earnest co-operation to any movement for the advancement of the interests of our College.
