Connecticut

ON MAY 24, Connecticut alumni's biggest get together, the annual state meeting, is to take place at the Brooklawn Country Club in Bridgeport. This affair will draw upwards of two hundred alumni, fathers and guests. As in the past, a cast of scintillating lights from Hanover will be on hand to make the occasion memorable. Craven Laycock will abandon his Hanover haunts for a few hours to bring his inimitable charm and a host of interesting memories of Dartmouth lore to the assemblage. Bob Strong, personification of the Selective System of admissions will lend an administrative touch to the banquet and the undergraduate and athletic rota of college life will be ably represented by "Whit" Miller, captain-elect of next year's football team, varsity skier and president of his class. An inspiring time is clearly forecast.

The Waterbury club meets on May 10, in Naugatuck to discuss the foregoing and will have as a guest speaker the Secretary of the Waterbury C.1.0., who will discuss the future of unionism in that particular industrial community.

Stamford met on May 4, at Rich's restaurant on the Post Road between Greenwich and Stamford for a discussion of the state meeting and to celebrate Richard Hovey's seventy-fifth anniversary. It was an enthusiastic gathering, with emphasis on beer, music and bull sessions.

The New London club held a meeting on April 3, at which time pictures of the Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Cornell football games were shown to an audience of twenty or more.

The Bridgeport club met on April 36, at the University club for a buffet supper and a talk by a man who had one of the most interesting messages to bring of any whom it has been our pleasure to listen to. He is Nate Howland '09, who has spent the last twenty-five years of his life in Central Europe and who certainly qualifies as an expert on the international situation in his own right. His comments and reflections upon the present grave situation took the meeting by storm and with such a golden opportunity at hand it was not until the wee hours of the morning that most of us finished our cross-examination.

Thus endeth another highly successful year for the seven Dartmouth clubs of Connecticut.
