Alumni Officers Meet

Either Green Key Weekend or the annual alumni officers' meetings are likely to draw fine May weather; sometimes both get a break. This year the Green Key picnickers were rained out and the class and club officers drew two days of bright sunshine.

The May 18-19 meetings attracted just a little short of 200 alumni, including class secretaries, club secretaries, class treasurers, class agents, and reunion gift chairmen. The large attendance was second only to last year's record turnout and contributed to the general success of the weekend, which was filled with working sessions but also provided opportunity for the enjoyment of athletic events and fraternizing. Following a reception at the home of President and Mrs. Dickey and an informal dinner at the Inn, five separate meetings of the class and club groups were held Friday evening. Saturday morning a joint session wlis held in the 1902 Room of Baker Library and that evening the' annual joint dinner was staged in Thayer Hall. At both of these general gatherings, H. Reginald Bankart '35, president of the Dartmouth Secretaries Association, presided. President Dickey and Jeffrey O'Connell '51, representing the undergraduates, were the principal speakers at the Saturday night dinner. At the morning session the alumni officers heard Charles J. Zimmerman '23, Alumni Fund chairman; William H. McCarter '19, director of athletics; Dean Neidlinger, whose topic was "Mobilization and the College"; and Prof. John C. Adams of the History Department, who spoke on "Russia's Next Move."

In the annual elections of officers for the coming year, Dr. Wallace H. Drake ' 14 was chosen president of the Dartmouth Secretaries Association, Arthur H. Ruggles Jr. '37 president of the Class Treasurers Association, and George B. Redding '29 president of the Class Agents Association. New members of the Alumni Council, to represent these three associations, are Scott A. Rogers Jr. '40, secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Cleveland; Harry B. Cummings '27, class treasurer; and Addison L. Winship '42, class agent. Fran Cis Brown '25, editor of The New YorkTimes Book Review, was elected a member of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE Advisory Board for a three-year term.

As is customary at the annual dinner, awards for the outstanding class and club officers of the year were announced by Sidney C. Hayward '26, Secretary of the College. The 1951 Class Secretary Award went to Prof. Leon Burr Richardson '00 of Hanover, the Club Secretary Award to fames C. Jones 111 '38 of St. Louis, and the Class Treasurer Award to Rodney A. Walser '45. Space does not permit the printing of their citations this month, but these will be carried in a later issue of the MAGAZIINE.
