ENGLISH SPEAKING UNION AGAIN HONORS DARTMOUTH
August, 1926

J. P. St. Clair '26 and C. E. Strouse '27 were selected on the basis of President Hopkins' formal nomination to travel in England during the coming summer as two of the six college students chosen by the English-Speaking Union as their representatives for the year 1926.

The English-Speaking Union of the United States is an organization whose motive is to "draw together in the bond of comradeship the English speaking people of the world." Each summer six representatives chosen from the undergraduate bodies of the American colleges are entertained in England by the Common Interest Committee of the English-Speaking Union of the British Empire for a period of five weeks. During their stay the representatives receive special privileges in visiting the House of Parliament and the English Universities. They are entertained in English country homes and meet many famous personages who are active in England's political and social life.

Twelve of the twenty-four men chosen as representatives since the founding of the present undergraduate system in 1923 have been from Dartmouth. The first group was composed entirely of Dartmouth men and last year E. J. Dufify '26 and W. M. Rankin '26 were chosen. St. Clair is the manager of the Musical Clubs and Strouse is Editor-in-Chief of The Dartmouth. Both are members of the Casque and Gauntlet society and the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
