ASSOCIATION OF THE NORTHWEST

On December 27, 1921, the annual smoker of the Northwest Association was held at the Town and Country Club, St. Paul. A large gathering was entertained by several impromptu speeches, and by a clever dancing and singing Hawaiian couple from one of the vaudeville houses. The purpose of the gathering was to meet the undergraduates who had returned from college for their vacation, and to welcome prospective Dartmouth men from the preparatory schools in this section, of whom there were about twenty-five with us.

The annual dinner on January 14, 1922, was at the Minneapolis Club, Minneapolis. President Hopkins was the guest of the evening. He put us again in touch with the College by his very interesting talk, covering the new methods of admission and administration, the improvements and changes which have taken place since our time. He impressed on us again the fact that Dartmouth is very fortunate in having a man of his vision and attainments at the helm of its affairs.

Judge W. A. Lancaster '81 and Dr. H. P. Dewey '98 (Hon.), trustee of Williams College, also spoke briefly.

On Sunday following the dinner Mr. and Mrs. James A. Vaughan held a delightful tea at their home, to which Dartmouth men, their wives, and friends of Dartmouth were invited to meet President Hopkins.
