Denver

Everyone pitched in and helped. In one way or another almost every card-carrying member o£ the Dartmouth Association of the Great Divide, his wife, his friends and his children pitched in and made the Dartmouth Glee Club concert a many splendored success. There were a few seats left but not many, and the Glee Club sang gloriously to a packed auditorium of admirers of the disciplined male voice raised in inspired group harmony.

The list of names of local alumni and their wives whose energy catalyzed this effervescent evening is too long to print but we owe much to each and all who served variously on the concert committee, as wheelhorses in the women's activities, and as financial sponsors.

Especial thanks, too, go forward to the two enthusiastic East High School fraternities who attended as patron organizations, and the eight decorative young ladies who ornamented the humble job of ticket taking.

The financial returns are not yet in, but the financial bag-holders got their money back, the scholarship fund was transfused, and each ticket holder was the beneficiary of a musical dividend that will be well-remembered.

The only possible criticism of the program was a brief but unfortunate bunching of contemporary selections in the opening one-third of the evening that defined the technical excellence of the group but did little to tap the pent-up sentiments of those who came to hear 52 collegians revive the glowing embers of past experience in song.

The genial activities of the "Injunaires," however, and the return by the club to equally brilliant but more conventional phrasings erased any lingering regrets. "Turn Ye to Me" was a haunting piece, and who has ever heard "Dartmouth Undying" and the "Winter Song" too many times?

In the fading hours of a long and succesful day, Bill Berge '45, who shouldered the multiple responsibilities of the event so very well, was heard to say, "Now I can get back to the law business."

In deference to the activities centered about the two-day stay of the Club, there was no luncheon this past month and we all fell back to re-group and prepare for the Annual Meeting to be held in two days. A meeting of college deans is in progress in Colorado Springs at the Broadmoor Hotel, and among the participants is Dean of the College, Thaddeus Seymour. Dean Seymour will be with us for this important meeting before he returns to monitor the many faceted activities of the granite-brain boys in Hanover. We look forward to making his acquaintance and hearing from him on the Ides of April.
