Plans were laid for welcoming Dean Stearns Morse at our April 2 Annual Meeting to be held at the Athletic Club. All the alumni in the State of Indiana will be invited to this function.
Bud Kuhn, President-Elect, successor to George Mahoney, presided at his first meeting. He outlined and suggested plans for activities for the balance of the year. It was unanimously agreed that we would hold four large functions each year: in the spring would be the Annual Meeting, with the College Representative being the guest; in September, the Annual Picnic outing prior to the return of students to College, and combined with athletics; in November, the joint meeting with Cornell alumni for listening to the Cornell-Dartmouth game; in January, a meeting with movies from the College.
All alumni in the State of Indiana will be invited to these four main functions. Other plans for meetings will be purely local in nature and will be held at various times, according to an occasion that might arise.
