Bob Blackman covered a great deal of territory during his visit to Syracuse, meeting with the Fourth Estate for a luncheon session, with a group of high school coaches and principals for a reception, talking with many prospective students from the area schools, and meeting with the alumni group for dinner. He made a TV appearance on a news show, and generally was excellent publicity for Dartmouth. Bob is a fine representative for our College, and we are proud of his work both on and off the campus.

There was such strong feeling on the part of the Big Green co-eds at being omitted from this meeting that it is anticipated the next session must needs include them. Of this, more later.
