Chicago

THE CHICAGO summer was pleasant as to weather and fairly eventful for the Dartmouths, busied with luncheons, tournaments, picnics, and dazzled by the honors heaped on some of the faithful.

As to honors, Henry Hilton '90 received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from Dartmouth in the '38 Commencement Exercises; Bill Knight '08 was elected President of the Illinois State Bar Association, and Bill Abbott '27 became a member of The Dartmouth Alumni Council.

Some of the summer luncheons had big turn-outs for such smooth-tongued verbal magicians as old Bob Cantwell, famous criminal lawyer, Lou Leverone '04, speaking at the Undergraduate Lunch of June 29, and Nathaniel Leverone 'O6, who arranged a special luncheon to promote Dartmouth-in-Politics and presented Al Brunker, a Trustee of the Univ. of Penn., learned in Chicago politics.

Under Hank Llewellyn '14, a bunch of grass-digging Dartmouths hiked through a golf tournament on July 26, with the big prize, The Hawley Trophy going to Howard H. Hilton '08, other prizes going to Varley '30, Uhlemann '30, Dingle '10, Llewellyn '14, Langlois '36, Teft '17, Price '21, Hotchkiss '22, Montgomery '25, Moore '34, Taylor '10 and Parker '26.

On August 26, over 135 Hanoverians gamboled on the green at Louie Leverone's estate in the Annual Picnic with no holds barred in baseball, horseshoes, swimming, beer-drinking, singing, and eating what one could in the general competition for foods professionally prepared by the brothers Leverone. The once-a-year ballplayers had a swell series of games, 5 to 30 on a side depending on proximity to dinner-time, errors not scored, all sides claiming victory and Bed Williams '27 being the only known casualty with a slightly fractured thumb. Once again, the high point of the year was picnic-time at Louie's.

During the fall, luncheons will be held weekly at Mandel Brothers, 9th floor, Green Room, 12:15 on Wednesdays, and plans are being made for Saturday receptions of broadcasts on big games.
