Detroit

WITH THE PASSING of the summer months, which are always quiet as far as the Alumni Association is concerned, the Club is looking forward eagerly to the 1938 football season. Weekly luncheons were held as usual throughout die summer and one joint outing was held with the local Cornell Association.

In the past year the number of Dartmouth men in greater Detroit has crossed the 200 mark. Of these over 75 are from the classes in the 30's. It was only a few years ago that the Club had less than 150 men on the rolls. The second largest group of Michigan freshmen in the last quarter century was accepted for admittance this Fall—nineteen boys from fourteen different schools.

There has been an important change in the status of the Dartmouth Club of Detroit Cup. This cup, first awarded in 1927 and presented each year since to the Detroit high school whose football team has the best combined athletic and scholastic record, was to have become the permanent possession of the school winning it three times. Of the city's twenty odd high schools three had two legs on the Cup and five one leg. At the suggestion of several of the high schools, all schools were approached with the idea of making the Cup a permanent one and awarding replicas to those schools winning it. Unanimous consent was attained and the Detroit Club has ordered $300 worth of replicas, and the Cup will pass from school to school in the years to come and grow hoary with tradition, and probably battered with use.

In spite of the expense involved in purchasing replicas of the Dartmouth Cup, the Club expects to add to the Dartmouth Club of Detroit Loan Fund established last year with its gift to the College of $500. Over fifty members of the Club have paid 1938 dues and it is hoped before the year ends to surpass last year's new

high record of 66. Weekly luncheons will continue to be held on Tuesdays at the Savoyard Club on the roof of the Buhl Building

Joint meetings with the Alumni Associations of Cornell, Harvard, Yale and Princeton are planned for October and November The Club's copy of the 5 reel "Life At Dartmouth" will be shown in high schools and preparatory schools throughout the Fall and Winter
