1907

Greater Boston '07 men had two meetings in February. The monthly luncheon was held at the Parker House on February 20, which happened to be one of the stormiest days of the winter. As a result attendance was limited to Niles, Cummings, Smart and Lane. On February 27 the Annual Dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Greater Boston was held at the Copley-Plaza Hotel. President Dickey's debut was appropriately celebrated by an unusual attendance of nearly 1,000 Alumni. It was a wonderful gathering in all respects. For '07 it was a record-breaker, at least for recent years. Fifteen men were present, not including one of Jerry Macdonald's sons. That is something over 10% of '07 living graduates. Harry McDevitt, as Alumni Chorister, put on a show reminiscent of undergraduate days. Dick Lane was elected vice president of the Association for the coming year.

Hobbs Knight, Professor of Physics at Tufts College, reports two significant events in his family, one of them a happy occasion, the other distressing. His daughter, Esther, was married recently to Dr. Orel F. Martin. His son, a Naval Air Corps pilot, failed to return from a patrol mission from Leyte during the Philippine campaign.

The following report from Chester Sandy is one man's answer to the vacation problem. Last fall Chet had a month's vacation coming to him. After considering all the possibilities he and Mrs. Sandy asked each other, "Why not go to Hanover?" And they did. Let him tell the rest of the story:

Our room overlooked the campus and when there was nothing else to do, we could just look out of the windows. There was plenty to do.—We walked miles, going to corners of the town I didn't know ever existed. We explored the library, Sanborn House, and other old buildings. We were particularly interested in the Arts and Crafts housed in Hallgarten and fiissel.

For entertainment we attended the movies, two lectures, the musical clubs, the Players, Dartmouth Night, the Cornell football game, the White Church, piano recitals and had tea at the homes of two professors, and should any of you be invited, don't fail to attend these teas. They are different and most worth while.

We met Wellman, Southgate, Judge McLane, many of the older professors, as well as the younger ones, and talked to President Dickey several times.

Our impression of Dickey is that we have a real man in charge at Hanover. His quiet simplicity, and the way he gets things done, indicate that he knows what he is about, and that Dartmouth is in mighty good hands. We liked him.

We spent our 33rd Wedding Anniversary and Thanksgiving Day at the Inn.

All together, we had a wonderful time, and enjoyed every hour. For publication, I can advise anyone whose nerves are on the ragged edge, and who is really tired and in need of a good rest, to spend a week or a month or longer at the Hanover Inn. The beneficial effects will be noticed by your friends when you come home.
