THB IUXRTT4CWfTflCHDLLEI2E HANOVER,N.H. Offices of A.dminz1stra!z'on PRBSlD!NT May twenty-three 1 9 2 7 Dear Mr. Sanborn: E Your invitation'to become a contributor to your class report but exemplifies the kindness which has always been shown to me by the Class of 1917, collectively or by individuals of the class. It was no small stimulus and reassurance to have the loyal support of the Senior class when I came to the presiden- cy of the College as an initiate. I have never known how men have got started on their work when they went among a group hostile to them. The friendli- ness of the Class of 1917 was made obvious from the first minutes when the Senior year began. It has always been one of the pleas- antest remembrances of my life to recall the support given to me at that time. It would, however, not be representative of my own spirit or that of the class to-put this upon a personal basis. It was significant of what I believe the spirit of Dartmouth alum- ni in general to be that it should have been so definitely the de- sire of the class to cooperate in the interests of the College. The strength of the College at the present day is due more to the understanding of its purpose and the support of its policies by an intelligent alumni body than to anything else. In this alumni group, the Class of 1917 has made its own particular place. I am very grateful for the existence of that spirit within the alumni which is represented by the Class of 1917 in all of their attitudes towards the College. I dm Yours very truly, Mk- Mr. Ralph Sanborn, Secretary, - 220 Broadway, New York City. .
