1916

Add to the list of 1916 authors Alvin R. Caiman, who has just completed a book, Upsala College, Early Years, with a probable publishing date of next February. Alvin became a history teacher at Upsala in the early twenties when the student enrollment was around 100. If ever a man had a hand in the building of a college, Alvin certainly did 20 years as head of the college library, coach and director of the college dramatics, purchasing agent for all athletic goods, and overseer of student managers. He retired in 1965 and Upsala awarded him the honoray degree of L.H.D.

A series of memories were stirred up by a little folder that Dick Parkhurst picked up on a recent visit to Hanover and sent to your secretary. This folder, printed by the Hop Shop, a Hanover gift shop, told about the famous key to Dartmouth Hall. According to history, Dartmouth Hall was securely locked and the key zealously guarded and hidden during those tumultuous days when the trustees of Dartmouth University were trying to take possession of Dartmouth College. This key was one of the few relics saved from the original Dartmouth Hall that burned in 1904. It came into the possession of Adna Storrs '99, who owned the bookstore just south of the C&G House and presented it to the College. To me, Storrs's Bookstore carried a tremendous stock but Mr. Storrs knew where every book that I asked for was located.

So the Dartmouth Hall key brought back memories to me, as I hope it will bring back memories to you of Dartmouth and the Storrs Bookstore incidents like these make memories glow.

There were six representatives of the Big Green, ranging in age from 71 to 90, at a "Super Senior"tennis tournament in Concord, Mass., last June.
