October 1919

The first outing and field day of the Cheshire County Dartmouth Alumni Association took place on the afternoon of September 13 on the north shore of Granite Lake in Munsonville, and was enjoyed by a large number of Dartmouth men. During the afternoon various sports, boating, and bathing were in order, followed by a feed and story- telling.

Following the meal the meeting was called to order by President Nelson Coffin '96, and these officers were elected for the ensuing year: president, Charles E. Adams '99; vicepresident, Willis O. Smith '91; secretary treasurer, Chester B. Jordan '15; executive committee, Dr. Charles S. Walker '01 D.M.S., Richard L. Holbrook '17, and George Warwick, Jr., '02.

Short talks were given by Mayor Walker and Lieutenant Frank C. Huntress '17, and the party was entertained by stories from Dr. Charles A. Eastman '87 of Amherst, Mass., who is a descendant of a long line of Sioux chiefs.

It was announced that an enlarged photograph of the house of Mrs. Susan King Perkins of Main St. in Keene is to be presented to the College at the 150 th anniversary. The Perkins house, which is one of the oldest in Cheshire county, was formerly the Wyman tavern, famous in Revolutionary days, and the place where the first meeting of the trustees of Dartmouth was held.
