Spartan Reunions

The emergency nature of the food and help situations in Hanover—with the prospect that they will grow worse rather than better—has compelled the College to warn all reuning alumni and their families, and graduating seniors and their guests, that conditions for Commencement and the reunion weekends this summer will be less satisfactory than the College planned and will require the cooperation and forbearance of all visitors to town. The problems, which have small chance of taking the joy out of the biggest Dartmouth reunions ever scheduled, will be explained to alumni in a letter to go out from the Alumni Council after it has heard a report oN the subject at its June 7 meeting.

For the Commencement and reunion weekends, menu choices probably will be extremely limited and all Collegeoperated eating establishments will be run on a self-service basis. Occupants of dormitory rooms will be requested to cooperate in making their own beds. In every way, however, the College will do its utmost to meet the most serious problems of food and labor that it has faced since the outbreak of the War.

Another late development in connection with reunions is the decision to drop August 2-4 as the official reunion weekend for all the youngest classes. They will hold informal Hanover gettogethers during the summer with classmates again enrolled as students, and others who return for a campus visit.
