NORTHWEST ASSOCIATION

The annual banquet of the Northwestern Alumni Association was held at the Minnesota Club, St. Paul, on the evening of January 22. In the absence of President Nichols, the College was represented by Prof. H. E. Keyes of the Alumni Council. Prof. H. S. Person of the Tuck faculty, and Mr. Gray Knapp, the secretary of the College.

Vice-president George Hoke of the Association presided. During the course of the evening, Professor Keyes, Professor Person, Mr. Knapp, Mr. Henry L. Moore '77, of the board of trustees of the College, and Mr. Lyndon A. Smith '80, attorney general of the state, were introduced. Dr. H. P. Dewey, Hon. '01, also spoke.

A shadow of sadness was cast on the occasion by the death of Gov. W. S. Hammond '84, who was the president of the Association, and was to have presided at the dinner. The late governor was eulogized by several of the speakers.

There were about seventy-five men present, and the outlook for the ensuing year is very bright. At the business meeting preceding the banquet the following officers were elected: president, Lyndon A. Smith '80; vice-presidents, F. G. Cook '08 and Ogden Brown '09; secretary, Warren S. Carter '10; treasurer, Henry D. Thrall '06.
