The St. Louis Alumni held an informal dinner at the University Club on January 27, at 6.30 p. m. There were about fifteen men present. We enjoyed what might be termed a nice family dinner, and after the dinner, we had the tables cleared away and drew up our chairs in a family circle around President Hopkins. He talked to us for about an hour regarding the work of the College during the war, and the plans the College had for future development. His time was limited, so there was no opportunity for discussion. As soon as he left the meeting was dismissed, so this was not in the class of a regular Dartmouth banquet.
President Hopkins talked to the Central High School that evening, during the graduating exercises, and on Tuesday, January 28, he addressed the City Club on "College in the Reconstruction Period", and was very favorably received.
