Prof. Herbert F. West '22 was the principal speaker of the evening and he compared Dartmouth under its last three presidents, Dr. Tucker, Dr. Hopkins, and Dr. Dickey. He said that Dr. Hopkins was the creator of the college as we now know it. The present regime promotes a different quality of education, probably in keeping with the times, with emphasis on world affairs and government with fewer elective courses.

He mentioned the Friends of Dartmouth Library which has procured books of great value for Baker Library which now almost rivals the great libraries of Harvard and Yale.

After the talk, two reels of Dartmouth movies were shown.
