President Hopkins to Be Present.

Dartmouth men will be interested
to learn that President Ernest Martin
Hopkins OF the college and Professor
Edwin J. Bartlett are to be present at
the annual reunion and dinner at
Woodstock on June 4. This fact, in
conjunction with the expressed purpose
of many from all parts of the state
to attend, assures the success of the
reunion. The Tufts Dartmouth game
on the afternoon of the 4th seems to
be a strong drawing card
The Vermont men who are TO take
part in the exercises will have much
of interest to say and the message
that the Vermont association will re-
ceiye from the college in regard TO its
present standing and its plans for the
future will be something that we can
not afford to miss Those who have
