CHICAGO ASSOCIATION

The Alumni Association of Chicago held a smoker on Friday evening, April 11, at the Palmer House, the occasion being the arrival in Chicago of Prof. Homer Eaton Keyes. There were over fifty alumni present, who enjoyed hearing Mr. Keyes' talk on present day conditions in Hanover, as well as the moving pictures of winter sports.

At this time a census of the sentiment regarding a day of outing for the Dartmouth alumni and their families was taken, and the idea seemed to meet with almost unanimous approval.

The smoker was further augmented by Les Wiggin, 1910, who performed very creditably on the piano, and a chorus of lusty voices, which sang the good old songs with much enthusiasm. It might be mentioned here that Tommy Abbott's voice was heard above all others. His brother, Guy Abbott, who is president of the association here in Chicago, presided at the dinner, and acquitted himself with due credit.
