TOP DARTMOUTH EVENT of the month here is the alumni dinner at the Hotel Pennsylvania on April 26. With a 1000-man attendance goal committee members are working whole-heartedly to set an all-time record. Whether that figure is reached or not, as these notes are written it seems certain that the meeting will be one of the largest Dartmouth gatherings in many years.
Latta McCray '37, secretary, and Jim Hodge '29 of the board of governors of the Dartmouth College Club, serving as a special committee, have streamlined the club's by-laws. The amendments are designed to bring the code up-to-date to meet the expanded operations of the club.
The revised code includes several new standing committees, including one to handle public relations and a Committee on the Col- lege which is charged with "promoting the interests and welfare o£ Dartmouth College within the metropolitan area."
Other changes limit the tenure of, and re- vise the procedure for, electing officers and governors; permit the election of a limited number of associate members who shall be persons interested in the College but who are otherwise ineligible for membership; and make minor changes in administrative pro- cedure.
Randy Burns '12, Art Stout '17, Ed Martin '19, Clarence Goss '23 and Jim Hodge '29 comprise the club's nominating committee which will have to name a successor to replace Batch Batchelder '19 who is retiring as president.
Dr. Ernest L. Stebbins '26, city health commissioner and an authority on communicable diseases, has gone to Italy as a member of a special UNRRA medical mission.
The club continues to be a favorite port of call for servicemen who get to town. Recent visitors include navymen Lt. Comdr. Pop Byers '15, Capt. George Currier '17, Lt. James Rick III '31, Lt. Woodcock '33, Lt. Matty Mattimore '38 and Jim Garrison '48; Coastguard Lt. William P&rker '38 and Sgt. Butch Conningswood '43 of the Army.
