ASSOCIATION OF THE NORTHWEST

The annual banquet of this association was held on the evening of January 10, at the Saint Paul Hotel, St. Paul, Minnesota. Although the exceptionally severe weather, with the subsequent blockade of trains, interfered somewhat with the attendance, some loyal Dartmouth men came down from Duluth, and one, C. B. Little '81, in accordance with his invariable custom, came on from Bismarck, N. D.

At the business meeting H. L. Moore '77 was elected president, James A. Vaughan 05 treasurer, and D. F. Lyons '02 secretary.

After the banquet the first speaker was the president, Judge Willard '77, who spoke very interestingly on the good work that has been done in the Philippine Islands by Dartmouth men.. J. T. Gerould '95, George Hoke '03, and Judge John W. Willis '77 also spoke. The last speaker was President Nichols, whose account of what had been accomplished at Dartmouth during the past year was received with great interest and enthusiasm. The announcement of the generous and timely gift of Edward Tuck '62 was the 'feature of the evening, and a resolution expressing the gratitude of the association was adopted.
