ADD ANOTHER to the roster of Dartmouth alumni groups to be found in various corners of the globe.

This time it is the Dartmouth Club of Tucson, which came into being on Monday, March 10th, at a luncheon meeting held at the Pioneer Hotel in the Arizona city. It was the first assemblage of onetime Hanoverians ever brought together in the Tucson area. Those present included a number of permanent residents of the city, together with winter tourist visitors, some of whom had not attended an alumni gathering since leaving College.

Led by the stimulating enthusiasm of Dr. Thomas Jefferson Harris 'B6, who is an annual winter visitor in Tucson, a permanent organization was unanimously voted, with meetings to be staged monthly from November to April, inclusive, and with Charles L. Phillips 'lB, as secretary-treasurer. Charlie, who is a down-Easter from the Cape turned into dyed-in-the-wool-Westerner and who rides herd on the Rancho del Socorro, about eighteen miles out of Tucson, which he started as a homesteading proposition back in 1928, announced that the next session of the new alumni group would be held at the Pioneer, on Monday, April 14th. All Dartmouth men who are visitors in Southern Arizona are urged to attend.

Those who participated in the initial session of the new Dartmouth Club, besides Dr. Harris and Charlie Phillips were: Bryant R. Turner ' 11; Robert S. Fish '18; Homer D. Lininger 'lB, owner of one of the region's unique resort hotels, the Lodge on the Desert; the Rev. George W. Ferguson '2l, who, as rector of the Episcopal Church of St. Philips-in-the-Hills, is doing ' a notable job in his chosen calling; Edward M. McNamee '25; William P. Elliott '27; John Miller Harlow '2B, a landscape architect in Duluth during the summer and in Tucson during the winter; James H. Doehler '33; Robert S. Greene '37; Arthur Root '4O; and C. G. Milham 'O6.
