Rising college maintenance costs today make even more necessary alumni support, Dean Lloyd K. Neidlinger told 75 alumni and guests at the annual spring dinner meeting of the Worcester County (Mass.) Alumni Club in the Sheraton Hotel, Worcester, April

The picture as painted by Dartmouth's dean indicated that colleges have never been able to operate on a balanced budget, large gifts are becoming more and more rare, and that operating costs at Dartmouth have risen one third since pre-war years due to increased salaries and retirement and scholarship demands.

President Francis X. Reilly Jr. '3,8 presided. Treasurer Harry C. Midgley '40 reported that more than $1,000 has been contributed toward a Worcester County scholarship. Alton K.Marsters '30 is chairman of the scholarship fund committee.

Alvin F. "Doggie" Julian, former Holy Cross basketball mentor who has been named Dartmouth basketball and freshman football coach, spoke.

Assisting Messrs. Reilly and Midgley in arranging the dinner were Secretary Samuel H.Snow '40 and Sherman Baldwin '23.
