To the Editor of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE: Dear Sir:

In view of the many suggestions and many more criticisms which have been made relative to the seating of alumni by classes at football games, I desire to call the attention of the alumni to the very satisfactory arrangements which were made by the Athletic Council for the seating of the class of 1911 in a group at the Columbia game in Hanover this year.

We followed the instructions issued by the Graduate Manager relative to notifying him of the desire of the class to be seated together, with the result that every member of the class present at the game was included in this section. All expressed their pleasure at the way in which the whole thing was handled and were particularly pleased that they were assigned very good seats, when they had perhaps anticipated being placed behind the goal posts.

May I suggest, if there is any uncertainty among the alumni as to the feasibility of this plan, that they give it a try before asking for other methods.

To the Editor of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE : Dear Sir :

At a meeting of the board of directors and officers of the Dartmouth Club of Boston, held in the Club rooms on the evening of October 18th, a final report upon the question of quarters for the Club, which has been the subject of investigation for a year, was submitted by a committee appointed at the first meeting of the year, consisting of Clarence G. McDavitt '00, Richard F. Paul '11, and C. R. Cabot '12.

The committee recommended:

(1) That the Dartmouth Club of Boston retain its present quarters at the Hotel Bellevue, together with additional space to be made available by the hotel management,

(2) That quarters be renovated immediately, such renovation to include new carpeting, throughout, painting of walls, ceilings, and woodwork, new hangings, and additional furniture.

The directors and officers of the Club, in accepting this report, voted to "continue the above commttee with the power to proceed on this programme immediately, and to expend a sum. which, together with an amount appropriated by the hotel management for the same purpose, will, it is believed, provide entirely suitable quarters for the Club.

The Dartmouth Club of Boston will, as heretofore, have special wires for returns upon the late season games. The first returns to be given are those for the Cornell game on October 29th, for which the banquet hall at the Boston City Club has been engaged. Cornell men in Boston and vicinity are to be invited as the guests of the Club. The returns, as during the past few years, will be under the highly capable direction of Richard F. Paul '11.
