CHICAGO ASSOCIATION

Needless to say the main topic of conversation at the Dartmouth lunches is the coming game with Chicago, which will probably be a matter of history by the time this appears in print. Regardless of the outcome of the game, the preparations that are being made insure a wonderful time for all of those who are fortunate enough to be in Chicago at that time.

Although denied the pleasure of witnessing the triumph over Harvard, 150 enthusiastic alumni voiced their feelings at the University Club listening to direct wire returns and watching the progress of the game on a score board operated by Hal Braman '2l. Hen Urion 'l2 occupied his regular position as announcer. For some reason the few Harvard men who also were present didn't seem to enjoy the occasion as much as we did.

Further cementing the cordial relations between Cornell and Dartmouth, President Strong and Secretary Hall of Cornell were our guests at a recent lunch, and as this is being written, the undersigned is awaiting the arrival of President Jack Childs 'O9 to attend the Cornell lunch today as guests of that association.

At the lunch on October S, Nat Leverone 'O6 brought with him ex-Governor Eberhard of Minnesota, who made a distinct hit with his speech. One piece of poetry made such an impression that it was reprinted and distributed to the local alumni. It is given below.

ON FILE

"If an unkind word appears, File the thing away; If some novelty in jeers, File the thing away.

"If some clever little bit, Of a sharp and pointed wit, Carrying a sting with it, File the thing away.

"If some bit of gossip come, File the thing away; Scandalously spicy crumb, File the thing away.

"If suspicion come to you, That your neighbor isn't true, Let me tell you what to' do— File the thing away.

"Do this for a little while, Then go out and burn the file."

On the following week the fact that it was Columbus Day, although it kept the attendance down to 59, permitted a number of men to appear who ordinarily are tied up on Mondays because of their being in the teaching profession. Among these were George H. Rockwood '79, Fred Plapp 'B5, and Andrew Nichols 'OB.

Father's Day was celebrated on October 17, and a capacity crowd of 125 men made its appearance. Thirty-two of these were fathers of Dartmouth men who did not attend Dartmouth themselves. The principal speaker was Clarence Darrow, who had a son in the class of 'O4. The enjoyment evidenced by these Dartmouth fathers leads us to believe that such a day is very much appreciated by them and will henceforth probably be a regular institution. The complete list of those present ineludes: John A. Campbell, Henry P. Williams, M. A. Myers, Samuel T. Burke, Maurice H. Madelbaum, Irving H. Beebe, P. Y. Trier, R. W. Childs, Robert Clements, Union '9l, James Orth, F. H. Thomas, J. E. Purnell, Jr., William Lyon, J. E. Blunt, Jr., J. D. Vail, L. E. Wettling, Francis S. Nelson, E. E. Parker, Henry E. Cutler, W. E. Conrad, O. R. Barnett, E. Orris Hart, W. W. Carpenter, A. B. Nelson, George Emrich, Charles B. Obermeyer, James Loeb, Lyman M. Drake, Judge Wilson, ■and Samuel M. Hastings. The Dartmouth fathers who were present were Major Redington '6l, and Francis W. Lane 'Bl.

The last lunch of the month was the occasion of addresses by Edwin P. Morrow, exgovernor of Kentucky, and Col. Edwin M. Hadley of the military intelligence department. Col. Hadley revealed some inside figures on the activities of the Reds in the country generally, and specifically in the colleges.

Lindahl, auditor Universal Portland Cement Company, Roman A. Bohnen, Minnesota '24, Hallett E. Cole '24, F. R. Goehler, Buffalo '95, Robert F.
