New York City
THE BUSIEST DARTMOUTH ALUMNI center in all this girdled earth has not been represented in these columns of late because of a contemporary news outlet known as the Dartmouth Club News of the thriving Dartmouth College Club of New York City. This unique publication, the handiwork of the veteran writer, Dick Carpenter '10, has a circulation of about 4000 copies per month but does not reach out into the world beyond the club's scattered non-resident membership.
However, there should be a monthly résumé of the Dartmouth Club News in each issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and in view of Mr. Carpenter's extreme modesty, this transplanted reporter has volunteered to inaugurate this service to the MAGAZINE and to the alumni.
For instance, the November number reported the rousing Dartmouth Night festivities at the club (with Bob Burnap '94, Eddie Earl 17, Eddie Dooley '26, Al Foley '20 and the Irishman), the club committee on class activities, a sports forecast by Perkins '25, Editor of Sports Magazine, and feature columns such as "With Skoal and Ski," "Upon Life's Stage," "About Men You Know," and "Interior Decorators" by Pete and Pat—Cartoons by Abner Dean '31.
The December number featured our pre- Princeton game meeting (Jack Ingersoll '11 and Dave Camerer '37, sports editor of Pic), our "12 man" victory, our squash team's troubles, "Whither Whisters," "Sons of the Still North," "Bowling" and the procurement of apartments and rooms committee.
The current January issue foretells the largest gathering in history of the Thayer School alumni here at the club on January 17, the activities of the New York Dartmouth Outing Club, the club cocktail party on January 11, "Big Hearted Whisters," "On the New York War Path" and the Daniel Webster Night under the auspices of the Dartmouth Lawyers' Assn. of the Metropolitan area. At that time an oil painting, presented to the club by the College of America's No. 1 statesman and Dartmouth's most illustrious alumnus will be unveiled in the newly designated second floor foyer Daniel Webster Room.
The feature of the commemorative services will be an address by George M. Morris '11, of Washington, former president of the American Bar Association and long a loyal advocate of enduring Dartmouth traditions.
Such activities, plus the duckboard room gossip, the adjoining Princeton Club's facilities, always graciously available, the Dartmouth fellowship and "the good song ringing clear" in the Hovey manner, invite you all to come to 37 East 39th Street, New York City.
A MOMENT OF RELAXATION for President and Mrs. John Sloan Dickey during their trip to the West Coast Alumni groups is enjoyed in Hollywood's famous Brown Derby Restaurant. Left to right, Tom Lane '35, Pres. Dickey, Jack Rourke '40, Mrs. Dickey and L. W. "Bones" Joy '16.
