February 4 was a big day for Dartmouth in the Twin Cities. At the coed luncheon held at the Hotel Leamington, 140 people attended, and all appeared to enjoy themselves immensely. DeWalt (Pik) Ankeny presided, as he did also at the evening banquet.
On the luncheon program were the North- western National Life Insurance quartet; President John S. Dickey, who spoke briefly on the liberal arts college; Albert I. Dickerson, director of admissions, who spoke on the selective process of picking applicants; and Prof. Arthur Wilson, who described the Great Issues course. General arrangements for the entire day's activities were ably handled by Stuart MacPhail. He was assisted on the luncheon by George Hawkins and on the evening meeting by Steve Osborn.
The annual banquet took place at the Town and Country Club in St. Paul and was attended by about 95 men. Stu MacPhail conducted several community songs and induced his father, William MacPhail, head of the MacPhail School of Music, to lead us in the Hanover Winter Song. After brief reports by Treasurer Lyman Wakefield and Alumni Councilor Duke Dunning, election of officers was held. The following slate, as submitted by the nominating committee, was chosen:
President, Casper E. Whitney; Vice President, Bobb Chaney; Treasurer, Lyman Wakefield Jr.; Asst. Treasurer, Jim Vaughn; Secretary, Stuart MacPhail; Asst. Secretaries, Clark MacGregor, Dudley J. Russell (Duluth). Clarke D. Bassett (Fargo), Dr. George I'. Sayre (Rochester) .
.Executive Committee—DeWalt H. Ankeny, Arthur S. Dunning, Stephen A. Osborn, John B. Faegre, Wood R. Foster, Morrow Peyton, David M. Lilly, Robert A. Stone, Sherman F. Pinkham, George P. Hoke, Robert F. Goss, Earl W. Sheldon, Philip J. Troy.
Henry E. (Hap) At wood acted as toastmaster. He gave Al Dickerson quite a going over before allowing him to get to his feet, but Dickerson came back fighting and gave us a good picture of the admissions situation. President Dickey's address on the College and its objectives for the future was a stirring one. He dwelled on the necessity of maintaining intellectual integrity and at the same time giving men who graduate from Dartmouth some sort of perspective on which to shape their lives and accomplishments. His talk was extremely well received. Luther Oakes summed it up pretty well when he said. "I guess all of us can feel sure that the College is in good hands."
