Baltimore

A FORMER DARTMOUTH student has created quite a stir in the musical world of Baltimore this winter. He is Dr. Werner Janssen 'si, who came late in the fall to conduct the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra through its current season. His coming was heralded in numerous press notices as a significant event, and his work with the orchestra in the first concerts has been highly praised. Seats in the big Lyric Theatre, going on sale two weeks before each concert, are sold out in one forenoon.

An event of interest in the fall, overlooked in my previous notes, was a luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club, presided over by Mr. J. Fred Shafer, father of the Shafers '33 and '37, and addressed by H. Pennington Haile '24, of the American Foreign Policy Association, formerly a member of the Dartmouth faculty. Several of our members were interested guests. Major General Milton A. Reckord, our guest at the last meeting, made an interesting address on the "Sino-Japanese War and Its Repercussions in This Country." The Club nominated Warren C. Kendall '99 of Washington for a second term as Alumni Councillor. At our February meeting we expect to have him as guest speaker, and we have also invited eleven Dartmouth "prospects" among the Baltimore school boys.
