Georgia

ON MARCH 30 the Dartmouth Club of Georgia was honored by a visit from President Hopkins and from a good representation of alumni from various parts of the country. Your correspondent has amazed himself by computing that the average distance to Atlanta travelled by visiting alumni is about 460 miles. This figure does not include President Hopkins, who came here from Hanover, via Los Angeles, probably close to 5,000 miles. If our conscience would permit us to figure this in, it would double the average.

After dinner, Toastmaster Alva Wilson '25 called the meeting to order, and after a few befitting prefatory remarks, including introductions of the out-of-town alumni, gave us the feature attraction, an informal talk by President Hopkins. This talk was just what we wanted—a "family discussion" of the problems, plans, and hopes of the College. Later in the evening we worked ourselves right into the bull session stage, and it developed about that time that we had some fancy singers in the group. A dozen or so clustered around the piano and gave out with a will. In addititon to the local alumni, there were present two undergraduates (home oil spring vacation) and their fathers, one applicant for the class of '44, and the above-mentioned much-travelled visiting alumni, who were: Howard Hall '01 and Kimball Hall '37, Howe Cave, N. Y.; Malcolm Barrows '91, Melrose, Mass.; Joe Lane '31, Lookout Mtn., Tenn.: Cliff Watson '32, Charlotte, N. C.; Polly Boyd '33, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Chas. Moody '23, Alabama City, Ala.; Sam Weed '33, Knoxville, Tenn.; Howie Emerson '33, Knoxville, Tenn.; Burt Thostenburg '33, Athens, Ga.; Jack Barrows '38, Warm Springs, Ga.; and Carl Von Pechmann '38, Houston, Texas.

Press notices of the meeting also turned up a new member for the Atlanta Club, Jim Whipkey '36, recently moved from Pittsburgh.
