DARTMOUTH CLUB OF NORTHERN OHIO

The annual banquet was held on Thursday, January 2, 1913, at the Union Club of Cleveland. Twenty-six Dartmouth men were gathered together to enjoy the exhilaration of meeting once more in a good Dartmouth gathering. Included in the gathering were Professors Hull, Gerould, and Fox, who were in Cleveland attending the meeting of scientists.

During the banquet an orchestra played Dartmouth songs, and a quartet of singers composed of J. E. Ingersoll '11, R. B. Keeler '11, R. G. Geller '12, and Scott Rogers '12 led in the singing.

At the close of the banquet, Toastmaster W. G. Aborn '93 called on President Nichols, who gave a very interesting talk on plans and ideas of the College viewed from the faculty and administration standpoint.

Mr. E. R. Perkins '57 was then called on for a few words, and gave an enthusiastic Dartmouth speech. When he had finished, there was a spontaneous outburst of applause and the Dartmouth cheer was given for Mr. Perkins '57 and Judge John C. Hale '57, two of the best and most loyal men of our organization.

Short speeches were also made by Professors Hull, Gerould. and Fox, and by the secretary, H. McK. Haserot '10. R. G. Geller '12 gave a couple of selections with his ukalali, which were very entertaining. This ended the formal part of the gathering, but many stayed on for an informal "hum" and chat.

The officers for the club for the ensuing year are as follows: W. G. Aborn '93, president; F. M. Douglass '84, vice-president; H. McK. Haserot '10, secretary and treasurer; executive committee: I. A. Greenwood '07, C. C. Hills '05, J. B. Hutchinson '00, Judge G. E. Rose '81.
