THE CONNECTICUT ASSOCIATION has finally shed its autumnal lethargy with the reports of activity from four of the seven clubs.

New Haven held its annual pre-Yale game dinner meeting the night before and while you might expect football to have been the sole topic of discussion, you would be wrong, simply because New Haven alumni have become so inculcated with the academic aura. Hence our own Professor Emeritus Frank M. Anderson spoke very effectively to a large audience on the international situation. Movies of a football game followed and New Haven wrote another successful evening into its ledger.

Hartford also had a very fine meeting before the Yale game. It was a dinner affair at the Hartford Golf Club with sixtyfive or so in attendance and Bill McCarter did a swell job of reporting on the college in general and athletics in particular. He is without a doubt one of the most charming and entertaining of the college ambassadors.

Waterbury cohorts gathered on October 2 for their first football roundup and again on Dartmouth Night to celebrate in appropriate fashion this occasion which fraternally has come to mean so much to Dartmouth men—"Though 'round the girdled earth they roam." Be assured that Waterbury's efficient little secretary "Shorty" Thomas '34 got out the tribe.

Bridgeport was another club to meet on November 6. Bob Naramore '35 opened his home not only to alumni, but to the prospect of damage beyond customary wear and tear, but except for a few cracked voices and dissonant chords no casualities occurred. In fact, a stranger might have thought himself at an OPM clinic instead of a Big Green conclave which, I guess, illustrates the effect of defense on the Dartmouth brethern of that booming arsenal of democracy.
