Bridgeport
THE DARTMOUTH ALUMNI Association of Bridgeport, Conn., met at the University Club in Bridgeport on Wednesday, February 11, 1948. Our speaker was Professor Allen Foley '20, Professor of History at Hanover. The nominating committee in the person of Bob Naramore '35, submitted the following slate for 1948—Jack Zellers '28, president; Sumner Farwell '37, Ist vice-pres.; Don Baldwin '42, 2nd vice-pres.; Bob Stearns '38, secretary; Ralph Sperry '39, treasurer. This slate was accepted and the motion was made and seconded that the secretary be instructed to cast one ballot.
Considering the rather stormy weather prevailing, the attendance was good. The following men were present for the dinner and the program—Mansfield Sprague '33, AL Wolfe '38, Howard Wheale '41, Stanley Lonsdale '24, Robert Naramore '35, Robert Stearns '38, Dick Holt '38, Sumner Farwell '37, Dr. C. H. Sprague, Jack Conners '14, John Gillingham '39, Norman Locke '41, John Spiltoir '39, Don Baldwin '42, Ralph Sperry '39, D. H. Dworken, Leslie T. Willard '20, William H. Ham '97, Roger M. Bury '27, and Robert B. Sparks '20. A 1 Foley delivered a very stirring talk. His subject might best be divided into the three following headings—History, Hopes, Heritage.
History Al Foley pointed out that Dartmouth survived all wars, that Dartmouth was one of the nine pre-revolutionary colleges. Its charter was issued in 1769. Dartmouth has had a class graduating every year since that date. It has had a glorious and significant history.
Heritage—Dartmouth is a male college. It is set in the country. It is a small institution. It is a democratic college. Its spirit is an intangible asset.
Hopes—Dartmouth's future is promising. Under the academic side the arrival of Mr. John Dickey on the Hanover scene has added a new push, a new drive to the College. His Great Issues course has offered each senior an opportunity to obtain an intelligent attitude toward life. In presenting this course, President Dickey has exposed himself to student thinking and criticism. Dartmouth is able to adjust itself to the changing world. On the physical side, Dartmouth has its hopes in the Hopkins Center.
At our latest meeting, held Friday, March 5, we were privileged to hear Bill Leonard '37, Roving Reporter for WCBS, talk on "Postwar Radio and Television."
The following men were present: Channing Harwood '46, Bob Naramore '35, Bill Haiste '34, Max Fitzsimmons—Dartmouth Father, Bob Stearns '38, Jack Zellers '28, Gus Farwell '37, Jack Conners '14, John Mulin '18, Bob Tomlinson '38, Mansfield Sprague '33, Jack Storrs 'lB, Ray Bilter '36, Kenneth Fortune '23, William Blanchard '41, Howard Wheale—Dartmouth Father, Bob Ranage '29, Stanley Curtis '24, Irving Carter '29, Tom Coughlin '36, and John Palumbo '37.
