Boston Alumni Meet
The Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston held its annual dinner on the evening of March 8, at the Copley Plaza, with an attendance of over five hundred.
Wielding a heavy tomahawk and pushing loudly on the botton of an electric klaxon, Toastmaster Allan L. Priddy '15, introduced a program that ranged from President Hopkins' serious discussion of a new Dartmouth that called for alumni understanding and support, to a display of the resurrected talents of an undergraduate team of the passing decade: Marsans '27, and D'Esopo '29. A double quartet from the college glee club rendered songs of the College. Charles H. Donahue '99, associate justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of the Commonwealth, was one of the two principal speakers of the evening, delighting all with the serio-comic nature of his remarks. Lewis Parkhurst '78, senior trustee, and Stanley E. Qua '01, recently appointed associate justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of the Commonwealth, were cited by the toastmaster and received ovations.
Seated at the head table were Allen M. Cate '20, Philip S. Marden '94, John R. McLane '07, Benjamin W. Couch '96, Morton C. Tuttle '97, Stanley E. Qua '01, President Ernest Martin Hopkins '01, Allen L. Priddy '15, Edward S. French '06, President of the Boston Alumni Association, Charles H. Donahue '99, Lewis Parkhurst '78, Albert O. Brown '78, Victor M. Cutter '03, Earl H. Blaik, John R. Burleigh '14, Arthur H. Ruggles '02.
Officers of the Association elected for the ensuing year were: John R. Burleigh '14, president; Doane Arnold '27, executive vice-president; Richard Parkhurst '16, vicepresident; Hans Paschen, Tuck '28, vicepresident; Robert W. Williamson '27, director of publicity; Lawrence W. Martin '28, treasurer; F. William Andres '29, secretary; and Donald W. Gardner '27, Charles V. Raymond 'go, James F. Woods '33, and Stanley Neill '34, members of the executive committee for a term of three years.
At the conclusion of the formal program there appeared to be a decided tendency on the part of numbers of men to linger round the tables in Eleazar's Tavern, set up on the floor below.
