Central New York
ABOUT 30 of Dartmouth's loyal sons, and a sprinkling of "grandsons," turned out at the University Club in Syracuse on Saturday afternoon, March 21, to greet Dean Lloyd K. Neidlinger at the spring luncheon of the Dartmouth Club of Central New York. The meeting was one of the largest of the club since its record gathering of two years ago when Dean Craven Laycock was the speaker on his farewell tour.
Dean Neidlinger's talk regarding the problems he has met in his new post and recent changes at Hanover proved so interesting that the showing of movies of last fall's football season was so late in starting Neidlinger had to leave before they were over to catch a train for Rochester where he was speaking that night. Especially interesting to the alumni was his discussion of the surveys at Hanover on student health and social activities and his description of ill-founded worries of the administration over what might happen at New Haven after the victory over Yale.
As usual the motion pictures from Han- over also were a popular feature of the meeting.
Recent activities of the Central New York Club also included a winter sports and dinner gathering on Dartmouth night. The event was marred slightly by a crust on the snow that made skiing impossible, but the members and their families enjoyed tobogganing and skating, adjourning to the dining room for food and the Dartmouth night program.
