Paris

May 28 will be thought of, for a long time, as a moment of stimulation for the Dartmouth alumni in Paris. The Dartmouth Club in Paris was honored by the presence of President John Sloan Dickey and Mrs. Dickey who were on their way home after a Southern European tour.

The dinner was held at the Cercle Interallie in the “Salon de Diane” beautifully decorated by Mrs. Fish and was presided over by our active club president, HerbertFish ’29. Answering Mr. Fish’s most courteous and humorous introduction about the state of Americano-French relationship. President Dickey dealt mainly in his speech with the mission of liberal arts learning and what is done at Dartmouth in that respect and also devoted a substantial part of his ad- dress to the obsolescence of knowledge.

We took the opportunity of this meeting to ask everyone present to think over the matter of our activities in 1963 and we sug- gested a new step towards more progressive work in the group and more contacts with outside communities. The 45 present prom- ised that they would bring plans to our next meeting to take place in the fall.
