Wisconsin Association

Dean Laycock spoke before the Dartmouth Alumni Association o£ Wisconsin at the Astor Hotel in Milwaukee on Friday night, February 24. There were present about 75 alumni, parents of alumni, undergraduates, and prospective students. This was about the same number as last year.

Dean Laycock spoke about the College's attitude in regard to reducing the salaries of the faculty, and stated that there would be no reduction unless it was absolutely necessary. The Dean also spoke about the remarkable scholastic standing for the first semester, when only five freshmen were separated from the College and an extremely small number in the upper classes. I do not recall exactly what figures he stated. The Dean thought that this was due to the increased seriousness of the undergraduates, a seriousness resulting from the depression.

Dean Laycock arrived on Friday noon and stayed until Sunday morning. Friday and Saturday afternoons he was entertained with bridge by various members of the Association. Saturday night the Dean and some members of the Association wei-e invited to the residence of Leon Friedman Jr., class of 1923, for a dinner and general discussion.

The visit of the Dean was enjoyed very much, and we were glad to hear that he hopes to return to Milwaukee next year.

Secretary.
