PROFESSOR McCONAUGHY'S TRIPS

During the month of February Professor McConaughy visited the following schools, and in a number of cases, gave an illustrated lecture on "College and College Life": Bradford Academy, Proctor Academy, East Orange High School, Passaic High School, High School of Commerce, New York City, Curtis High School, Detroit Central High School, Albany Academy, Albany High School, and Leominster High School.

In connection with the meeting of the Department of Superintendence of the National Educational Association at Detroit, February 21-25, a luncheon for Dartmouth alumni was held at the Hotel Griswold, attended by forty-three men. The local alumni turned out in good numbers; the alumni who were present as delegates to the Convention came from eleven different states, from Washington to Vermont, represented twenty-four different classes, and included men engaged in the following lines of educational work: city superintendents, high school principals, nor- mal school principals, college professors of education, and bookmen. The representative of the oldest class was H. P. Lewis '74, Superintendent of Schools at Worcester, and the alumnus who had traveled the farthest was William F. Geiger '92, Superintendent of Schools at Tacoma, Washington. The meeting was entirely informal; in addition to the sociability and college reminiscences, consideration was given to the new Dartmouth plan of relating the College to the schools, as explained by Mr. McConaughy, who represented the College. It was the unanimous feeling that a Dartmouth alumni luncheon should be held in connection with each annual meeting of the Department of Superintendence.

On the occasion of Professor McConaughy's visit to the secondary schools in Albany, the local alumni arranged for a special lunch, at which questions pertaining to the relation of Albany to Dartmouth College were discussed. The Association has already-arranged for the illustrated lecture on Dartmouth, which was given at Christmas time.
