Central New Jersey

The annual spring dinner meeting of the Central New Jersey Club was held on April 25 at New Brunswick. Once again the committee secured the rooms of the Union Club in the Robert Smith Hotel. The arrangements were excellent, and after the usual cocktail hour, the members enjoyed a very fine dinner. The highlight of the evening was the speech by Dr. Lewis W. Jones, the new president of Rutgers University. Along with more serious topics, Dr. Jones related quite a few stories about Dartmouth which happened while he was president of Bennington College. The dinner meeting was voted a big success and our hats are off to the committee of Van WieIngham '27, chairman; R. LeRoy Height '23, and James G. Morgan '47.

Our first spring meeting was held at the Nassau Tavern in Princeton on March 21. The meeting was in the Green Room and 28 of our members turned out to hear two very interesting speakers: Dr. Lothar Schmidt of Czecho- slovakia and More Watauabi of Japan, who gave their respective ideas on how the U.S. foreign policy was affecting their countries and people. Both men are students at the Woodrow Wilson School of Princeton University. We are indebted to Frank Cole '47 for getting the two excellent speakers and for a mighty interesting evening.

If the May and June meetings are on the same plane as the two just held we will have had a most successful year. As now lined up the Club expects to have a meeting at which the wives and sweethearts will be present, probably a lawn party, and our annual orientation meeting for the future freshmen. If you live in Central New Jersey and have not been attending our meetings, you are missing something very much worth while.
