THE PRESIDENT IN SPOKANE

President Hopkins and Mr. Lewis Parkhurst arrived in Spokane on the morning of Wednesday, March 24, from Seattle. It marked the first stop on their eastward journey. They were met at the train by a committee of alumni, and were taken immediately to the Davenport Hotel, which was their headquarters during their stay. On Wednesday noon they were guests of the Spokane Advertising Club, and at luncheon attended by about 250 Spokane business men Dr. Hopkins spoke on "Some Factors of Social Unrest". The address was received with enthusiasm, both on account of the real message which Dr. Hopkins had to deliver, and also because of the sincerity and simplicity which characterized his delivery of it. Few speakers recently in Spokane have been listened to with such genuine interest.

Wednesday evening the Dartmouth alumni and their friends gathered for dinner in the Elizabethan room at the Davenport. About forty were in attendance. The meeting was presided over by W. J. C. Wakefield '85. Talks were made by G. H. Greenwood, Tuck School 'OS, President Hopkins, and Mr. Parkhurst. Between courses the alumni joined in a number of the good old Dartmouth songs.

Thursday morning Dr. Hopkins addressed the students of both the Spokane high schools, and in the evening he and Mr. Parkhurst were the guests of George A. Phillips, president of the Advertising Club, who has a son in College, at a delightful informal dinner, to which about twenty Spokane men and their wives had also been invited. The two visitors left for Butte the same evening.

Their visit was productive of much good for the College. They left a most favorable impression with every one whom they met, and left a number of enthusiastic Dartmouth supporters among the business men.

A feature of the alumni dinner was the meeting of Mr. Parkhurst and Eugene O'Neill, both of '78, who had not seen each other since their graduation. Mr. O'Neill came from Lewiston, Idaho, to attend the dinner.
