WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS ASSOCIATION

The Western Massachusetts Alumni Association held its annual meeting at the Nayasset Club, Springfield, on the evening of February 24. It was a very enthusiastic meeting, the attendance of 80 men making it the largest Dartmouth dinner ever held in Springfield.

Elmer W. Barstow '99, president of the Association, was toastmaster. Harry S. McDevitt '07 and Earle '17 entertained with musical numbers.

President Hopkins was enthusiastically greeted. He discussed conditions at Dartmouth and the present policy of the College in a masterful manner. Prof. James P. Richardson followed with an interesting story of life at Hanover, referring particularly to the Winter Carnival, the Dartmouth athletic situation, and the proposed Memorial Field. In the course of his address, Professor Richardson paid a very high tribute of praise to the faculty of the College. Owen A. Hoban '99 of Gardner, Mass., was the last speaker, making an eloquent address on the Dartmouth spirit, and an exposition of the duty of educated men toward the foreign-born citizens of America. Stereopticon slides of Hanover scenes and activities were shown at the close of the evening.

Officers elected for the ensuing year are: president, Dr. Harry C. Martin '98, D. M. S.; vice-president, Karl R. Hammond '09; secretary and treasurer, Richard J. Oppenheimer '19; executive committee, H. A. Moseley '11, R. H. Cutler '15, and M. D. Pomeroy '14.
