BOSTON ASSOCIATION

On the evening of January 25, more than 600 Dartmouth men gathered in Symphony Hall for the annual meeting of the Association. The main addresses were made by President Hopkins and Senator George H. Moses '90.

President Hopkins dismissed the criticism that the preference for the sons of Dartmouth men, now shown by the College in its entrance requirements, might produce intellectual inbreeding, by remarking that a certain continuity of spirit and understanding was distinctly an asset to Dartmouth, and that, in any case, the point had been over-emphasized, as out of 552 men in this year's freshman class only thirty-four were sons of alumni. "It is the problem of the future," he said, "to turn out men who can think with greater power. In reality, schooling is finished when a man has been given the tools of education; for all that education has really done has been to teach men how to use their minds."

Senator Moses sounded a warning against the perils of over-regulation by the government, and vigorously attacked "the aggressive and noisy minorities that today terrorize legislatures and intimidate Congress."

There were also brief talks by Governor Channing H. Cox '01, Governor Albert O. Brown '78, Hon. Samuel W. McCall '74, George G. Clark '99, Richard Ward '01, president of the Dartmouth Club of Boston, Joseph T. Gilman '05, Prof. E. E. Day 'O5, Rev. Francis E. Clark '73, James R. Chandler '98, and Fred T. Fields, Brown University '00.

Harry S. McDevitt '07 led the general singing and sang popular solos, and there was also singing by Fred S. Child '15 and Roger Bird '22.

The following officers were elected: President, Albert M. Lyon '94; vice-presidents, David J. Maloney '97, Allan L. Priddy '15, Chester C. Butts '11, and Harry L. Sampson '00; treasurer, Austin L. Baker, Jr. '16; secretary, W. Dale Barker 'IS; executive committee, Clyfton Chandler '14 and Victor M. Cutter '03.
