Our mini-reunion over the Cornell game weekend got off to a roaring start when President Jim Lynch called the executive committee meeting to order at Bob Kimball's home. The committee voted to increase the amount which may be spent by the College to purchase individual books under our memorial book program. It also voted to continue our annual contribution to the library for use in restoration and preservation of rare books, maps, and manuscripts in the Dartmouth collection.

Walt and Mary will travel with the SMU football team to Tokyo this fall for its traditional game with the University of Houston. Some kind of football weekend!
