On January 25 Dartmouth men of the vicinity of Albany to the number of about twenty met in the University Club in that city to enjoy a smoker. Mr. Hopkins of the College was present as guest of the evening and showed numerous stereopticon views of the College in connection with his talk. Plans were perfected for the organization of a permanent alumni association, of which James P. McElroy '76 was elected president, and Sherman A. Murphy '03 was elected secretary and treasurer.
