The Dartmouth Club of New Haven was honored at its annual meeting at the New Haven Country Club by the presence of Thomas O'Connell '50, then executive assistant to President Dickey. He brought with him from Hanover some excellent color slides of the new Hopkins Center Project, and gave the whole Club an excellent idea of the worth-whileness of what is being done.
