NEW YORK ASSOCIATION

About 250 Dartmouth men met at the Hotel McAlpin on the evening of January 25 for the fifty-third annual dinner of the New York Association.

A novel feature of the meeting was the production by Luther B. Little '82 of a long-lost scheme proposed in 1849 and advocated by Daniel Webster to found a chair in the law of nations in the College. The plan was revived with much enthusiasm, and a movement was set on foot to found such a professorship.

Another speaker who was received with hearty applause was Philip D. Smith '15, who had just returned from serving with the American Ambulance Corps in France.

President Hopkins was welcomed enthusiastically, and was assured of the cordial support of the New York alumni.
