Rochester

DARTMOUTH NIGHT was the occasion for our first formal get-together of the year and found a most enthusiastic group meeting for dinner, business and the usual frivolity at the Genesee Valley Club. Previously during the fall, we had been following our usual custom of weekly meetings on Fridays for luncheon and football discussions.

Unlike previous meetings of this type, we had no guest speaker, but found that when left to our own devices we could still make the evening an interesting one. Monty Phillips '27, our president, saw to it that our business was expeditiously effected so that there was plenty of time left for the enjoyment of three films from the College, which were run by Pete Potter '20, our own Kodak expert, and for the customary after-meeting informalities.

At that time we were bemoaning the fact that the Cornell game was not to be held in Ithaca this year (obvious comments omitted) so concentrated our attentions on making plans for the arrival of the basketball team which plays Rochester on December 30th. Arrangements have been made to have a fathers and sons luncheon that day and invitations are being sent to present undergraduates and prospective students from this section and to their dads as well. Coach Cowles has just written us that he and the team will be glad to join us so it promises to be a banner affair, particularly since it is seldom that Hanover is brought so close to our door.

This town is filled with Cornell men and doubly so with Rochester graduates. We haven't yet lived down the recent Cornell affair and might better go back to Hanover with the team if Rochester should win. Consequently, not that the latter alternative isn't inviting, we expect to turn out for the game en masse to spur the boys on to victory and a face-saving for ourselves.
