It was reputed to be the largest of its kind in New England. The other College buildings were erected in course of time, but we will not dwell upon them. Butterfield Museum, the largest of the buildings of the future quad- rangle, north of the campus, is now in process of construction, and when completed and furnished, Dartmouth will have in it one of the best bio- logical departments in the country. Connected with this College are, the Medi- cal College, dating from 1798, and the Thayer School of Civil Engineering, founded in 1867.

The Posltoty fllfuifnni flssfoelatioho , J I I ffig,-Xigljfrhrsx -fluff ,pri A YERYONE knows that Boston has a great many Dartmouth men in the foremost ranks of business and professional life. They are leaders in all the best interests ofthe city. It is also an undisputed fact that these go-ahead Dartmouth Alumni have not forgotten their Alma Mater. To them is largely due the credit for the New Dartmouth which is fast making the College one of the first in the country. They took an active interest in the management of aiifairs, besides standing by it in a financial way. The Dartmouth Alumni Association was iinally established in 1865, and has been growing stronger and larger ever since. No hall is large enough, it is said, to hold the hundreds who meet at its large meetings. When the question of admitting ladies came up in '83, the executive committee, to which the matter was left to decide, refused to act upon it, thus squelching the idea. Caleb Blodgett, President of the Boston Dartmouth Alumni Association, was born in Dorchester, N. H., june 3, 1832. Entered College as a member of the class of '56, he taught school winters while in college in Fitchburg, Mass., till May, 1858, when he began the study of law with W. W. Stickney, '23, at Exeter. He studied with other law irms until 1860, when he was admitted to the bar at Worcester. Soon after he commenced practice in Hopkinton, Mass. Removed to Boston in 1860 and continued practice till 1882. He was then commissioned by Governor Long an associate justice of the superior court of Massachusetts. He is a man who has made an honorable record by the impartiality and accuracy of his decisions. ' ' The Dartmouth Lunch Club, which is hardly second to the Association itseli was organized about nine years ago, by Messrs. Williams, ,72, Paul, '78, Proctor, ,79, and Tucker, '86, From this small but enthusiastic beginning has grown up a club of hundreds of members. There were seventy present at the iirst lunch, these lunches occurred once a month on Saturday afternoon during the winter. JUDGE clues stooserr. 13
