RHODE ISLAND ASSOCIATION

This Association held its fifth annual dinner at the Crown Hotel, Providence, on Thursday evening, February 9, and had as guests President Nichols of the College, President Faunce of Brown, and President Edwards of the Rhode Island State College, all of whom addressed the assemblage.

President Nichols dealt principally with the problems of the college to-day and of the efforts to solve them. President Faunce paid a tribute to President Nichols, and dwelt upon the ties which bind the two colleges together, while President Edwards emphasized the standing which Dartmouth has in the South.

Mr. Russell Congdon, a graduate of Colby and the present superintendent of schools in this city, was elected to honorary membership in addition to Mr. Walter E. Ranger, commissioner of public schools in this state, who is already a honorary member.

Our alumni in this vicinity number about forty, nearly all of whom were present.
