DARTMOUTH AND THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY UNION IN PARIS

It is gratifying to announce certain definite steps which have been taken to insure satisfactory relations between Dartmouth College and the American University Union in Paris.

It was thought at one time that a joint bureau to be known as the Eastern New England College Bureau, or something to that effect, might be established under the leadership of Harvard to represent Harvard, Dartmouth. Brown, Amherst, Williams and Bowdoin at the Union. For various reasons it has seemed best not to form a bureau on this basis, but for certain colleges to accept the courtesies of the Harvard Bureau as a place of immediate call for men from Dartmouth and from several other colleges. Dartmouth will contribute toward the maintenance of the Harvard Bureau what seems a fair proportion of the clerical cost involved in keeping certain Dartmouth statistics and rendering report on Dartmouth men utilizing the facilities of the Union and specifically of the Harvard Bureau.

It has seemed of vital importance, however, that there be in Paris a Dartmouth man or group of Dartmouth men who might be called upon to speak authoritatively for the College in the event of there coming before the Union certain questions specifically involving Dartmouth.

Mr. Edward Tuck is the Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Union, but his manifold other interests, coupled with the fact of his chairmanship of the Union as a whole. have made it seem unwise to request him to assume further burdens. It has very fortunately, however, been possible to secure the services of three Dartmouth men who will constitute a committee who have agreed to look after the personal needs of any Dartmouth men who come to the Union, or concerning whom inquiry may be made.

These are:

Chairman, Doctor Ernest H. Lines '82, who may be found daily from 11 to 12; 1 Rue de le Peletier, Paris, France. Sundays, 111, Quai d'Orsay, Telephone Saxe 42-45.

Ernest B. Watson '02, who may be found daily from 9.30 to 10.30; 6, Rue Puccini. Residence, Hotel Magellan, 59 Avenue Marceau.

Charles E. Estes '05, who may be found daily from 2.30 to 3.30; 4 Place de la Concorde. Residence, Hotel Magellan, 59 Avenue Marceau.

Doctor Lines has been a resident of Paris for a number of years as consult ing physician for the New York Life Insurance Company. His work in behalf of Dartmouth and Dartmouth men in Paris has been tireless. It was his son, Howard B. Lines '12, who, emulating his father's unflagging enthusiasm, veritably worked himself to death in the American Ambulance Service.

Mr. E. B. Watson was connected with Robert College, Constantinople, for some time after graduating from College ; was instructor and assistant pro- fessor at Dartmouth from 1905 to 1910. Since 1910 he has been Professor of English ac Robert College, which he left at the beginning of the war to undertake special journalistic work in behalf of the Red Cross in Paris.

Charles E. Estes has likewise been connected with Robert College, and is now resident in Paris.

These men represent a wide acquaintance with the world and with Dartmouth men, and the MAGAZINE urges the noting of their names and addresses by all those who may be going abroad.

Dartmouth men in the service are further reminded that Dartmouth is a member of the University Union at 8 Rue de Richelieu, and, by virtue of that membership, they are all privileged to make use of the Union's facilities.
