Coast Pow-Wow

UNDER THE direction of Guy P. Wallick 'si, general chairman of the Pow Wow committee of the Northern California Alumni Association, plans have gone rapidly forward for events of the week-end November 25-26. Mr. Wallick announces that the Pow Wow banquet the evening of November 25 will be held in the Administration Building of the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay.

Speakers at the banquet will include William H. McCarter '19, director of athletics, and Lloyd K. Neidlinger '33, Dean of the College, and possibly other officers of the College or representatives of the alumni. The Olympic Club band will substitute for the Dartmouth band during the entire week-end and will provide music at the alumni banquet and at the game with Stanford at Palo Alto the following day. The game will begin at 1:30.

A special gathering of the Board of Trustees and Alumni Council, including past and present members of both groups, will be held late Friday morning. The informal conference of these key groups of the alumni will conclude with a luncheon at the Fairmont Hotel Friday noon.

The program will be a busy one from the time of arrival of the special train from the east at 8:30 A.M., Friday, November 25, to departure of the eastern train and the football squad at midnight Saturday. Sight-seeing trips, golf, and other recreational activities will be arranged for the visitors. Class breakfasts and luncheons are scheduled for the day of the game and that evening there will be a dinner dance to include the Stanford and Dartmouth football squads, alumni, and guests at the Fairmont Hotel.

Mr. Wallick predicts that there will be as many as 250 to 300 alumni present for the Pow-Wow week-end from Rocky Mountain and Pacific states. Other estimates indicate there will be as many more alumni from the east and middle west who will make the trip for the game and weekend alumni events.

This will be the third Pow-Wow on a national scale, the two earlier ones having been held in Chicago in 1935 and 1928. The San Francisco Pow-Wow will mark the first time that an intersectional meeting of alumni of major importance has been held west of the Mississippi. The PowWow has received the official approval and endorsement of the Alumni Council and will be an accredited alumni project of the College.
