Washington, D. C., June 21, 1918. Mr. Homer Eaton Keyes, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H.
Dear Sir:-
Enclosed is a small contribution to deficit fund.
I assume that this entitles me to make a suggestion. Without camouflage or quibbling, I suggest that the name of the town be changed from Hanover to Dartmouth.
Hanover is a Hun name and as far as I know, has no real sentimental value.
Making the name of the town coincide with the college would do away with much confusion as to address. It would be a good "advertising" feature (this is worth considering now).
As an alumnus of three years standing I move that this be submitted to the Alumni for their consideration. If the name can't be changed now it never will be.
Very truly yours, (Signed)
Ist Lieut., Q. M. C., N. A., D., 1915.
