THE DARTMOUTH CLUB of New Haven held an evening after-dinner meeting on Friday, October 29th. It was attended by about forty members, wives and friends. Charles E. Widmayer '30, director of the Dartmouth News Service and newly appointed editor of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE gave a very interesting talk on present day Dartmouth under the Navy V-12 program and the tremendous changes it involved in administrative, financial, and educational set-up. Refreshments were served afterward, while an informal question period was carried on. It proved to be a very enjoyable meeting.
