ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF CHICAGO
The Dartmouth Alumni Association of Chicago held its annual banquet at the Congress Hotel, Monday, January 28. Over one hundred men attended. Particularly noticeable was the large percentage of older men. This was taken as evidence of their enthusiasm for the Pow-Wow to be held at Chicago February 22 and 23, as a discussion of the plans for the Pow-Wow constituted a large part of the program.
In accordance with the custom started last year, the following men were honored for worth-while achievements during the previous year: Lucius Teter, Honorary 1920, for successfully building the business of the Chicago Trust Company to its present high standing, resulting this year in the erection of a new structure, which is one of the show places in Chicago; Philip Fox 1902, for unselfishly submitting to a blood transfusion in a vain effort to save the life of a fellow professor at Northwestern University; Jess B. Hawley 1909, for building a first-class football team out of. what was considered very mediocre material; John R. Childs 1909, for holding the long distance record of attendance at weekly luncheons and of all around service to the Association as secretary, vice president, and chairman of various committees.
Dan Trude '01, judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago', tore the lid off of some of the vice conditions in Chicago in pointing out the duties of the college man as a public servant.
Lucius Teter, Honorary, president of the Chicago Trust Company, developed other obligations of the college man toward his city and its commercial and religious activities.
The modern undergraduate viewpoint at Dartmouth was cleverly burlesqued by Mr. S. J. McCoughey, Michigan 'lB, Yale '22, who appeared as Oswald Schwartz, 1924, "President of the Round Table." He expressed some highly inflammatory ideas, and as part of the program, there were introduced interruptions by Jack Childs '09, Tubby Bird '09, and others. Following the last assault, the speaker stepped out of his part and confessed the hoax in time to prevent his being hurled bodily from the room.
The hot dope on the Pow-Wow was handed out by General Chairman "Nat" Leverone '06, and many who for the first time got a real idea as to what the Pow-Wow meant to Dartmouth went away keenly enthusiastic about it and determined to put it over 100%.
The election of officers resulted in the following selections for 1924: president, E. Russell Palmer '10; vice-president, John R. Childs '09; secretary-treasurer, Warren D. Bruner '12; members of the executive committee, Hamilton Gibson '97, Jess B. Hawley '09, Henry K. Urion '12. The other members of the executive committee are: Nathaniel E. Leverone '06, Guy H. Abbott '02, Walter Dakin '06, E. Russell Palmer '10.
Secretary.
