After dinner officers as follows were elected: president, Francis A. Robinson 'OB of Des Moines; vice-president, Horace G. Hedges '11 of Cedar Rapids; secretary, George C. Carpenter '18 of Des Moines.
The evening was spent in renewing acquaintance and listening to stories about the life at Hanover of the past and present. The next day was the occasion of the Drake Relays, which correspond with the Pennsylvania Relays in the East. The Dartmouth men sat in one section and wished that the wearers of the green were presented on the track.
It is the intention of the lowa Association to make this an annual event, in addition to a winter meeting, at which time it is hoped to entertain some representative from the College on his Western tour, and a meeting at the Home Coming at lowa City next fall.
There are many men in this state who should be helped in their desire to enter Dartmouth. This organization should have for its chief purpose spreading the gospel of Dartmouth throughout the state, and being of service to those young men who have chosen the best college in the nation for their Alma Mater.
We are looking forward to many pleasant and profitable meetings to be held in different cities of the state in the years to come.
