Class Officers Meet
ANNUAL GATHERINGS OF THE Associations of Dartmouth Secretaries, Class Agents and Treasurers will be held in New York, April 3, and Boston, April 10. The groups will hold both joint and separate sessions at the Dartmouth Club in New York and the University Club in Boston. To meet difficulties in transportation and to secure the largest possible attendance, the annual spring pilgrimage of class officers to Hanover for a week-end program has been dropped in favor of the New York and-Boston meetings.
Class officers in the Chicago area met at the University Club there on March 23 with President Hopkins as the principal guest and speaker.
The President will address the annual class officers' dinners in both New York and Boston. Henry E. Atwood '13, chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee, will preside at the dinners. Other speakers will include the presidents of the three Assoager ciations, Doane Arnold '27 for the Secretaries, James B. Reynolds '9O for the Class Agents, and Roscoe O. Elliott '20 for the Treasurers. It is also expected that Ross McKenney, Outing Club woodsman-adviser, will talk at the New York dinner and Donald Burnham '44, secretary-chairman of the senior class, will address the Boston dinner April 10.
Attendance at the dinner meetings is limited to the officers of each class and secretaries of Alumni Clubs and Associations. At the luncheon and afternoon meetings in both cities some assistant class agents will be included in addition to the principal officers. Mr. Reynolds will preside at the class officers' luncheon in New York, April 3, when Charlotte E. Ford, Alumni Recorder, and Dean Lloyd K. Neidlinger '23 will speak to the Secretaries, Agents and Treasurers. Separate afternoon business meetings will be held to permit the groups of officers to discuss common problems in the key work they are directing in alumni affairs. The Secretaries and Treasurers will hear talks by Edward E. Martin '19, chairman of the Alumni Council Committee on Class Gifts, Mansfield D. Sprague '33 of the Alumni Council, Sherman Baldwin '23, chairman of the Council's Committee on Class Organization, and Sidney C. Hayward '26, editor and business man of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
In Boston the following week, April 10, Doane Arnold '27 will preside at the luncheon when class officers of the New England area will hear talks by Miss Ford, Dean Robert C. Strong '24, and Jack Devlin '37, class secretary. At the afternoon business meetings, Mr. Elliott will lead discussions by the secretaries and treasurers. Subjects covered at the New York meeting will be on the Boston program. Speakers will include Donald G. Mix '21 of Worcester, who will talk on Alumni Club activities, and there will also be reports on the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, Class Gifts, and problems and policies of class organization during war time.
ALUMNI FUND PLANS
In both New York and Boston, Class Agents will meet under the chairmanship of their president, Mr. Reynolds. In conference with Chairman Atwood, Albert I. Dickerson 'go, executive secretary of the Fund Committee, and George F. Theriault '33, Alumni Fund Associate, they will discuss plans for the current campaign.
Beginning in 1905 when Dr. Tucker and his secretary, Ernest M. Hopkins '01, called a conference of class secretaries in Hanover, annual meetings have been held. The recent organization of Class Agents and Treasurers Associations has provided a noteworthy development in alumni affairs. Joint gatherings of the groups of key men in Dartmouth's far-flung alumni organization are of unusual importance this year when war problems require thorough attention.
