Paris Track Meet
October 1937

Through the efforts of George R. Hull 'lB, president of the Dartmouth Club of France, there has been held annually for several years an interscholastic track meet in Paris. The event is held under the auspices of the Dartmouth alumni club in Paris and its annual appearance on the sports calendar of the city is widely heralded by the press. At the last meet, held late last spring, the American School of Paris won with 70 points to 21 for the Macjannet School and 8 for the Chateau de Bures. Mr. Hull is in frequent demand as a speaker at various schools in the city where boys are interested in American education.

Activities of the Dartmouth Club of France were strengthened recently by a gift of 3,000 francs to its treasury by Edward Tuck '62.

Dr. Horatio S. Krans, director of the continental division of the American University Union complimented Mr. Hull in a letter to him on May 28 as follows:

"The spirit moves me to write you aline to thank you for your cordial hospitality and to congratulate you on the Field-Day of the three schools which was so admirably organized and such a, completesuccess. I have no doubt that the sportingevent which you organize annually is thered-letter-day for all the students of thecompeting schools. It certainly helps alsoto recommend Dartmouth to young me?iwho are here and who are making a choiceof the American college to which they will go

"Mr. Tuck, I am sure, will be immenselypleased when he reads of the success ofthe Field-Day and when he sees the filmsand photographs that were taken of it."
