President Hopkins will visit four far-western alumni groups during the latter half of April, speaking at annual dinners in Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. Leaving Hanover on April 12, he will open his tour at Denver on April 15 when he speaks at a Dartmouth dinner at the University Club. On April 19 he will be guest of honor at a dinner at the University Club in Los Angeles, on April 22 at a dinner at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco, and on April 24 at a dinner at the Ranier Club in Seattle. The Seattle dinner will be the occasion for a gathering of Dartmouth men from the entire Pacific Northwest, including the clubs of Spokane, Portland, and Tacoma.
President Hopkins' schedule for the next two months also includes his appearance as guest speaker at the annual dinner of Connecticut alumni, being held this year at the Racebrook Country Club, New Haven, on May 13. During the past month, on March 9, he spoke before the New York alumni at the Commodore, where nearly 750 Dartmouth men were present for perhaps the largest alumni dinner in the history of the College. Three informal talks before the Dartmouth fraternities, outlining the administration's attitude toward the national fraternity problem, were also included among the President's speaking engagements of the month.
President Hopkins was also the principal speaker at the annual class agents' dinners in New York and Boston on March 30 and 31.
