ASSOCIATION OF THE SOUTHWEST

This is an outline of the various events connected with the visit of President Hopkins and Trustee Parkhurst to our Association.

They arrived in Dallas late in the evening of March S. On Saturday morning, March 6, Dr. Hopkins addressed the assembled teachers of the city. Saturday noon, several Dartmouth men gathered at the Adolphus Hotel and lunched informally with the visitors.

Saturday night, the University Club had a Dartmouth Night Dinner, with an attendance of fifty to sixty men, fifteen of whom were Dartmouth graduates. Mr. E. A. DeWitt '82 acted as toastmaster. Mr. L. M. Dabney, a well known lawyer of Dallas and a brother of Professor Dabney of the University of Cincinnati, welcomed Dr. Hopkins on behalf of the University Club. Dr. Hyer, president of the Southern Methodist University, spoke briefly also. Dr. Hopkins then gave, a very interesting talk, discussing in detail our present labor situation.

Every paper and magazine in the city devoted considerable space to the event, and Dartmouth was put on the map in a very forceful way, and we expect that results will be seen in the years to come.

Henry G. Safford '03, of the Weld-Neville Cotton Company of Houston, was elected president of the Association for the coming year, and Follette Isaacson '08 was elected secretary-treasurer.
