Philadelphia

By the time you read this, your Philadelphia Dartmouth Club's Annual Dinner Meeting on February 19 will be over. However, since the deadline for this write-up comes about two weeks prior to that event, we can't tell you just how much of a success it was or who your Club officers for the coming year are. This information will be supplied in the April issue.

By now, everyone on our mailing list will have received a Dues Notice for 1958. In comparison with the dues rates of our Princeton and Yale brethren, ours are extremely reasonable, although our members enjoy just about the same facilities and program op portunities as the members of those clubs

We share a clubhouse with Princeton at Locust and Camac Streets in downtown Philadelphia. You and your guests, includine those of the fair sex, may use the dining and bar facilities of the club any weekday for luncheon or dinner and Saturday for luncheon. The club also has lounges with current periodicals and a television set. As most of you are aware, we have an informal gathering of the Dartmouth clan for luncheon there every Monday.

Beyond that, there are a number of soda] and athletic events throughout the year - some stag, some mixed, and some for the whole family. In addition to the Annua] Dinner, we generally have a Stag Nighi around April, a picnic in June for the entire family, golf meets during the spring and summer, a send-off dinner of new freshmen and their fathers in September, a cocktail party for the Penn game or the Dartmouth Night, a Dutch Treat Luncheon in honor of our undergraduates and their fathers during the Christmas holidays, and participate in the Inter-club Softball League.

Almost all of these events run at a deficit primarily because of high mailing costs. As a result, we can generally afford to send notices of social and athletic events only to those men who have paid their dues. Our entire mailing list usually receives only the notices of the Annual Dinner and of dues for the year.

We would like to have as many Dartmouth alumni in the Philadelphia area as possible enjoy the fun and fellowship we have throughout the year. The biggest expense of our operation is mailing costs. Won't you pay your dues so that you, too, can be sure that you will know about Dartmouth activities in Philadelphia and be able to participate in them as often as you can?
