Retiring President Selden C. Smith '97, who acted as toastmaster, had prepared an unusual and very interesting program, which featured moving pictures of the Dartmouth Winter Carnival.

In addition, short papers had been prepared on "Dartmouth's Authors": Richard Hovey, William Byron Forbush, Robert Frost, Kate Sanborn, and their writings. These papers were read by Dr. Worth '71, Charles H. Ham '71, F. W. Wentworth '03, and T. A. Perkins '90. President-elect F. H. Leggett '98 added the final touch to the program by reading an amusing paper on "The Literature of the College at the Close of the Nineteenth Century".

Informal talks by Fisher Ames '69 and Paul Redington '00, followed by the "Dartmouth Song", concluded one of the best and most enjoyable meetings we have ever held. Assuring you of our continued co-operation in all matters affecting the interests of the College, and trusting to be advised if we can be of assistance at any time, we are
