Promising Changes

On the alumni front there are changes in prospect of importance in the relationships between the College and the alumni body.

Revisions of the Alumni Council stitution were announced in our May issue. If approved at Commencement meetings there will be four more members of the Council next year (making a total membership of 37)—three from a new southwestern district of the country, and one new place allotted to alumni groups. In this last classification a membership will be held by a representative of each of the following vital groups of Dartmouth men: the class secretaries, alumni club and association secretaries, class agents, and class treasurers.

Another development that will be watched with interest later this month is the plan for holding reunions of the classes of 1921, 1926, 1931, and 1936 one week after Commencement. This move is made to avoid the overcrowding of Hanover's facilities during the June 13-15 week-end and to give the town over completely to the four youngest reuning classes for the later (June 20-22) week-end. For the first time the Dartmouth Secretaries Association will be joined at its annual meetings by the class agents and class treasurers. Those meetings will also be held June 20-21.

"Hanover Holiday" promises to break its impressive attendance record of last year. The series of faculty talks and discussions beginning Monday evening Juno 16 will continue through the week, with thorough planning now completed and announced for recreational and social events as well as the schedule of stimulating intellectual activity.

Quite a few people are planning to take a vacation this month and spend it in Hanover from June 13th to the 22nd, or to stretch one of the reunion week-ends by several days to include some or all of the Hanover Holiday program. This is definite evidence that alumni are interested in keeping in close touch with the College in later life and their participation is welcomed by their friends in Hanover.
