The alumni of Stanford University in and around San Francisco have invited Dartmouth men who will be in town for the Stanford-Dartmouth game to attend a joint luncheon at the Palace Hotel on Wednesday, September 26, the day after the arrival of the team and three days before the game. Dartmouth will be officially represented by Dean Craven Laycock '96. Other representatives from Hanover will be Prof. Fletcher Low '15, member of the Athletic Council; Harry R. Heneage '07, supervisor of athletics; Jackson L. Cannell '19, football coach; Harold Andres '31, football captain and John H. Reno '13, football manager. Similar representatives of Stanford will be present.
This event will take the place of the luncheon for the entire football party which was announced in the August issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
The principal events to follow this luncheon on the Roundup program will come Friday morning with the arrival of the special trains from Los Angeles and the North, registration of guests, and a golf tournament at California Country Club. Friday night the Roundup stag dinner will be given in the Plunge Terrace of the Fairmont Hotel; it is expected that this will make the largest gathering of Dartmouth men ever held west of Chicago. There will be dancing afterwards at the Hotel Mark Hopkins adjoining. After the game Saturday at Palo Alto the Roundup events will be closed with a dinner dance at the Hotel Mark Hopkins.
A special committee composed of wives and mothers of Dartmouth men has been organized under the chairmanship of Mrs. H. C. Follett to entertain visiting ladies. Friday afternoon they will take their guests on a tour of the city, and in the evening the ladies will dine together at the Fairmont at the time of the Stag Dinner. Members of the Ladies Committee, besides Mrs. Follett, are: Mrs. R. B. Collerd, Mrs. A. T. Clifton, Mrs. William McGibbon, Mrs. W. H. Patterson, Mrs. John H. Post, Mrs. Geo. C. Stoddard, Mrs. A. H. Tomfohrde, Mrs. W. W. Washburn, Mrs. B. L. Winslow.
Inquiries have been received in San Francisco from a number of Dartmouth men in various cities of the East as to the feasibility of making the trip to the game. The occasion offers an ideal opportunity for a fall vacation, including a tour of California during one of its most beautiful seasons. L. S. Wilson '13, chairman of hotels and transportation, will be glad to provide information in this connection. He can be reached at 230 Post Street, San Francisco.
