DARTMOUTH ASSOCIATION IN FRANCE
The Dartmouth Association in France held its 5th dinner on June 14, in order to celebrate as near as possible the date of the 150th anniversary, and we thought it wiser to have our meeting near the College Commencement time rather than wait until autumn, when there would be many less Dartmouth men in France; and we had really a very good meeting. Forty were present, and a considerable number were prevented by their various duties, much to the regret of all of us.
We had a good many short but extremely interesting speeches. The following were the principal speakers:
Foster '85, Lord '98, Everett '08, McLaughlin '11, Andrews '16, Atwood '99, Hinman '04, Blake '10, Trewin '12, Holbrook '17, Stackpole '16. These men covered all branches of the service in the A. E. F., and spoke splendidly. Austin Keough '11 acted as secretary, and did splendid work in organizing the dinner. An interesting letter was read from Mr. Edward Tuck, who was absent from Paris and unable to be present.
We joined in sending a cable to the president of the College, hoping it might he of some interest for the Commencement Alumni meeting.
