Carl Forsaith reports that Dr. Harold J. Tobin, professor of political science, spoke at the Dartmouth Club of Central New York at the University Club in Syracuse in March. Tobin is also an authority on civilian defense. "Dr. Tobin gave the alumni a vivid picture of how Dartmouth students and faculty members were reacting to the war. At the outset both were agreed on an isolationist policy but the subjugation of France, with which many faculty members were familiar through visits, turned the teachers toward intervention in one form or another. The students rebelled without open revolt on the basis of what they had been taught for years—to beware of appearances. Last summer sentiment changed among the students and all of the 500 eligible registered for selective service. A 'very small group' are conscientious objectors." Approximately 50 attended the dinner.
Pictures of Jack McDonald still appear in the magazines.

THE ALUMNI FUND
Dartmouth Regulars—a term applied by the Alumni Fund Committee a year ago to a group of alumni who have contributed faithfully year after year for the last ten years or more, has a real significance for us of 1913. While we do not think it a good plan to pat ourselves on the back too frequently, especially in these columns, we do want to call your attention to the setup of the Regulars on Page 24 of the April issue of the MAGAZINE so that all of us not in that category can join during this or the next few years. 1913 has 76 Dartmouth Regulars, a percentage of 40% to living graduates. Not all Regulars are graduates by a long shot. The 40% is the highest percentage in any class since 1904. Also it must be remembered that from our graduation in 1913 until 1929 we had our own class fund and some were contributing to both class and the Alumni Funds. In 1930 we turned over our class fund of approximately $25,000 to the college for the finishing and furnishing of the Reference Room in the Baker Library and ended our class fund.
Last year, as the records show, an account of the efforts of all and more particularly through the generosity of and the interest in the college of one of our class, we made an all time high record of total contributions for one class, $7,492.70. This classmate sent $500 and part of this gift was for our Memorial Fund, established at our reunion in 1938. Each class celebrating its 25th Reunion since 1938 has established a similar Memorial Fund on the same basis as ours.
Every member of our class now has a tremendous incentive to make our part in the Ernest Martin Hopkins 25th Anniversary Fund one of which every 191361 can be proud. Just an added effort on the part of each and every one of us will do this. This fund was explained in last month's issue as you probably know. Come on, boys, let's go!
