WASHINGTON ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Agog with excitement over the promised picturing of still and moving life at Hanover, some fifty members of the Washington Association and three stanch spirits from Baltimore appeared for the annual business meeting and fall smoker of the Washington Alumni Association, at the University Club, Washington, D.C., the evening of October 15, 1920.

John D. Little '16, conductor of the picture tour, told us the name of Dartmouth Hall, the Chapel, etc., and tried to recognize spots of hillside down which undergraduates were skiing, jumping, sliding, slipping, and tumbling.

Second to Mr. Little's performance was the reading of the first two mimeographed communications from Mr. Russell Larmon, Secretary to the President, on the state of the Dartmouth nation. The occasion was further marked by the retirement from office by Mr. Samuel R. Bond of the class of 1855, the oldest living president of any Dartmouth Alumni Association.

"Ted" Stafford 'll was appointed to revive, energize, and enervate the luncheon club of the Association. It was decided that hereafter the Dining Club, which has proved so successful, will continue to meet on the night of the first Wednesday in each month, while the Luncheon Club will meet at noon on the third Wednesday of the month. From the manner in which Mr. Stafford told his plans, it looks as though the luncheon club was a success, before it started.

Proper steps were taken to memorialize the death of Mr. Henry W. Blair of the class of 1873, honorary, and Mr. Richard K. Tyler of the class of 1890, both of whom had died since the last meeting.

An appropriate telegram was sent to the College in commemoration of Dartmouth Night, and by the vigorous passing of the hat all expenses were cleared, leaving us two jumps ahead of the sheriff.

The officers of the Association for the ensuing year elected at the meeting were:

President, C. H. Gould '92; Ist Vice President, Senator George H. Moses '90; 2nd Vice President, Representative Sherman E. Burroughs '94; 3d Vice President, Judge Wendell P. Stafford '01 (Honorary) ; Secretary-Treasurer, George Maurice Morriss '11; Historian, D. M. Hildreth '87; Chorister, J. D. Cremer, Jr. '16; Executive Committee, W. B. Patterson '83, Chairman, B. F. Adams '97, W. C. Kendall '99, Harry H. Semmes '13, R. P. Harvey '16.
