DARTMOUTH MEN MAKE FRIENDS IN ENGLAND

As an echo of the entertainment provided and the courtesies extended to the six Dartmouth students who visited in England under the auspices of the English-Speaking Union, THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE takes pleasure in printing a letter received by.President Ernest M. Hopkins from the Secretary to the Common Interests Committee, and the letter of Lord Dartmouth to which the Secretary refers.

August 29, 1923.

Dear President Hopkins:

I am writing to let you know how delighted we were to welcome Mr. Neidlinger and his fellow students from your College during their visit to England in July. It was a great pleasure to do anything for them and I should like to take this opportunity of letting you know how very much they were all liked.

I thought you might like to see the enclosed letter which I received from Lord Dartmouth, a descendant of the founder of Dartmouth College who happened to be dining with Lady Lyttelton just before she entertained the students. It was a pity that Lord Dartmouth was just then leaving London for we were unable to arrange a meeting between him and the students.

I have written to Mr. Daniels to say that from our point of view the visit of the students was an unqualified success, and we only hope that they enjoyed it as much as we did.

Yours sincerely,

Secretary to the Common Interests Committee.

President Hopkins, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, U. S. A.

From Earl of Dartmouth, Patshull, Wolverhampton.

Dear Madam:

Lady Lyttelton tells me she has had the opportunity of entertaining some of our young men from Dartmouth.

It interests me to hear of anything or anybody that has to do with the old College and I am sorry I should have been away from London at the time of their visit.

It is now nearly 20 years since my visit to the College, but the kindness and cordiality we then met with remains a very pleasant memory.

I have not lost touch and continually either by correspondence or in some other ways I am reminded of it and them.

I do not forget that when my son was killed at Suvla Bay one of the most touching of the obituary notices appeared in the pages of a Dartmouth publication.

There are many links in the long chain that marks the relations between the Dartmouths on both sides of the Atlantic, and I am glad to think I have done nothing to weaken any of them.

Yours sincerely, (signed) DARTMOUTH
