ST. LOUIS ASSOCIATION

The Dartmouth Alumni Association of St. Louis held its annual reunion and banquet the night of January 8. Doctor Nichols was the guest of honor, whose welcome was the more cordial and enthusiastic due to the discomforts which he had suffered and the delay in his arrival caused by cold weather and heavy snows.

Doctor Nichols' account of the progress of the College, the new buildings recently brought into service, the increased enrollment, and the increase in faculty number was received with great appreciation. His suggestion that Dartmouth men all over the country plan to meet together upon Dartmouth Night each year met with special favor.

Professor Hall, of Washington University, St. Louis, was also a guest. of the Association, and while not a Dartmouth man, spoke enthusiastically as the representative of our local institution.

Dr. R. M. Funkhouser '71 presided. Special songs adapted to the popular airs and written by Hamilton Gibson '97 helped to increase the enthusiasm. A list of the Dartmouth alumni now known to be in St. Louis was also published.

John K. Lord, Jr., '95, was elected president for the coming year, and Hamilton Gibson '97, chairman of the executive committee.

It is planned to hold frequent and regular meetings of the St. Louis alumni during the coming year, probably at some convenient hotel, and preferably at the luncheon hour. Any alumni situated in or near, or passing through, St. Louis, whose names are not on our list, will confer a favor upon us by communicating with the officers of this Association.
