Baltimore

THE NUMBER of Dartmouth residents in our vicinity is increasing rather rapicliy. We have about sixty names at present, and hope to add several of the new names to our list of active members. So far as the secretary knows, only one Baltimore boy, his son Henry, entered Dartmouth this fall. A descendant of Eleazar Wheelock hesitated for some time between Dartmouth and Yale, but finally chose his ancestor's Alma Mater.

We greatly miss our faithful and efficient former secretary, Jim Latham '29, who left us in the winter, promoted by the Travelers Insurance Company to a position in their New York office.

For our April meeting we had the privilege of a visit from Dean "Bob" Strong '24. It was a real pleasure to make his acquaintance and a great satisfaction to realize that Dartmouth applicants are being selected, and Dartmouth freshmen guided, by a man of his qualities. In the afternoon of his arrival two members of the club took the Dean out to McDonogh School, set in the midst of its rolling green acres, where he talked about Dartmouth to a group of the older boys, and watched a troupe of fifty or sixty set out for a cross-country ride. In the evening he gave us an inside view of the life of the College, stressing the workings of the Selective Process, by which he had just picked the Class of 1939.

Secretary.
