DARTMOUTH COLLEGE greeted its namesake town, Dartmouth, England, and three of its 1941 graduates, now members of the King's Royal Rifle Corps, in a shortwave broadcast over Boston's non-commercial station, WRUL, on November 20. The broadcast was made under the sponsorship of the World Wide Broadcasting Foundation and the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies.
Prof. Joseph M. McDaniel Jr., chairman of the American Defense Dartmouth Group, served as master of ceremonies for the broadcast. President Hopkins gave the message of the College to Dartmouth, England, and Prof. Leon Burr Richardson '00 told the English listeners something of its namesake's founding in the American wilderness, Jerry Tallmer '42 of New York City, editor in chief of TheDartmouth, and Craig Kuhn '42, greeted Charles G. Boltc, John F. Brister, and William P. Durkee, last year's graduates, who are now training in the King's Royal Rifle Corps "somewhere in England". The rest of the program was given over to singing of the "Hanover Winter Song" and "Dartmouth Undying" by the Dartmouth College Glee Club and to the reading of Prof. Kenneth A. Robinson's poem, "Pause at Gibralter," by Robert A. Myers '42 of West Newton, Mass.
