ASSSOCIATION OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEW YORK

The twelfth annual dinner held by the Alumni Association of Central and Western New York at the University Club, Buffalo, on February 4 proved to be the biggest meeting that the Association had ever had. Three guests, forty alumni, and eleven parents of undergraduates made themselves hoarse with "Wah-Hoo-Wahs" and Dartmouth songs, and listened with eager attention to the message from Dartmouth as given by Homer Eaton Keyes '00, who was persuaded to come on from Boston to be the principal speaker of the reunion. Mr. Keyes' story of the growth of the College, its increasing popularity, and the problems brought on by this growth was highly interesting to everyone present.

Other alumni called upon by the toastmaster, Edwards D. Emerson '84, were Clarence McKay '93, J. W. Grosvenor '59 (our youngest alumnus), and Randolph McNutt'71. S. B. Emerson '17 announced the gift to the Buffalo High Schools by the Buffalo alumni of the Dartmouth award, a medal patterned on the idea of the Barrett Medal to be presented annually to one boy in the graduating class of each school for all-round attainment.

One feature of the evening was the giving of the "old" cheer by several of the older alumni, led by W. J. Hutchinson '84. The University Club was made to shake by the cheers and songs, led by Jesse Babcock '14 and "Barney" Thielscher '17.

Following the meeting a large audience followed with rapt attention the tales of globetrotting and adventure by C. K. Moses '11. "A good time was had by all", and tentative plans for a get-together before the Cornell game at Ithaca next fall were discussed.

The officers elected for the coming year were: president, John B. Glaze '08; vice-president, John H. Clogston '94; secretary, Robert Fish '18.
