DARTMOUTH ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST

The Dartmouth Association of the Pacific Coast held its annual dinner at the Fairmount Hotel, San Francisco, on May 2. While our enjoyment was lessened by the absence of Eastern visitors—which have been with us for the past two years—the dinner was a real success.

Perhaps in a way it was uneventful. No speeches—except for a brief extemporaneous talk by C. H. Ham of the class of 1871. But after Selden Smith, Jim Townsend and others livened up with the ditties and cheers of the 1800' s, the meeting took its own unmolested rollicking course in a most pleasant fashion.

Regular elections for the coming year resulted in the nomination and universal approval of F. J. Reagan '09 for president, who succeeds William Hood '67. L. I. Hewes '98, was elected vice-president and F. H. McCrea '19, secretary. After laurels and wreaths for the retiring officers, the dinner closed with the Dartmouth Song.
