THE SECOND NATIONAL POW WOW CHICAGO, NOV. 23-24, 1928
Twenty-five thousand seats in Dyche Stadium, Evanston, Illinois, have been set aside for Dartmouth alumni and friends for the afternoon of Saturday, Nov. 24 next.
Four entire floors of the Hotel Stevens the largest hotel in the world have been reserved for the week-end.
Two Dartmouth football teams—varsity and freshmen—are coming a thousand miles to furnish the feature amusement for Dartmouth's Second National Pow Wow.
The freshmen, will play Lake Forest Academy on Soldiers Field on Friday afternoon. The varsity will play the last game of its season against Northwestern University on Saturday.
Friday and Saturday mornings will be devoted to the regular Pow Wow program at the Stevens—meetings at which alumni gathered together from all parts of the country will participate in discussions of all college activities which are dependent upon alumni interest and support. Various representatives of the college administration will lead these discussions. All alumni organizations will'be represented by their leaders who will report on the progress of their activities and indicate how the alumni can participate more fully and for the greater benefit of the College.
It is hoped that the Board of Trustees and the Alumni Council will hold meetings in Chicago at the time of the Pow Wow.
A banquet will be held Friday night. President Hopkins will be the . guest of honor and the principal speaker. On Saturday night there will be a ball for all the visiting alumni and their wives following the football game.
The two football teams and the coaches, trainers, managers, etc., coming from Hanover will be accompanied by the band and the college cheer leaders.
The Second National Pow Wow will bring Hanover to the Middle West with a vengeance and the alumni are assured of the greatest reunion—of all classes—that has ever been held.
The original Pow Wow idea grew out of the thought that the regular reunions in Hanover at Commencement time only bring together the members of every fifth class, while a Pow Wow offers an opportunity for a grand reunion of the men of all classes.
At the 1923 Pow Wow, men who graduated from college twenty or thirty or forty years ago were continually meeting old friends of their undergraduate days, men who were sophomores, j uniors and seniors when they were freshmen; men who were freshmen, sophomores and juniors when they were seniorsmeeting them for the first time in all those" years.
Also, the Pow Wow provided the alumni with their first opportunity for a serious and tremendously interesting discussion of all the affairs of the College and the ways in which alumni can participate in a helpful, constructive way.
The second Pow Wow, with the tempting added inducement of the spectacle of two Dartmouth football teams playing first rate foes on Middle Western gridirons—a thousand miles west of Hanover—promises to be even better than the first one.
So check off Friday, November 23 and Saturday, the 24 on your calendar and start making arrangements to be in Chicago on those days, for what should be the greatest and most enthusiastic Dartmouth reunion of all times.
