Class of 1925
The class of '25 has been honored with two fair daughters, brand-new. The first is Miss Martha Alice Learnard, daughter of the Dutch Learnards. The other is Miss Anne Sweetser, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Sweetser. The Sweetsers are back in town (Boston) after a summer at Portsmouth, N. H. Bob was in the other day, looking in top form. Incidentally, he became a first-class lobster fisherman this summer.

Moved by the plight of unemployed teachers and students who are prevented from carrying on their professions and studies by the economic situation, Cliff Hill has devised a plan for forming a "depression college." The university is to be opened in the hills of Virginia, not far from Washington, and the faculty will teach for its board and room only. Plans include the accommodation of about 100 students, who will pay a fee of $350 each, covering all expenses for the year. There will be no football team, but anyone wishing to win his "D" at "Depression University" can do so in fishing. Hunting, too, may be a major sport, with the idea that after a hard day on the athletic field the students can bring home their dinners. The school will involve no revolutionary teachings, nor will it be unduly conservative. Cliff is now professor of economics at Springfield (Mass.) College, and was formerly a fellow of the Brookings Institution.
Twenty-five is well represented in the official line-up of the Dartmouth Outing Club of Boston. At a recent meeting to formulate plans for the coming season, Bill Sleigh was, elected chairman, and Ed Griffin was voted head of the cabin committee. A series of class outings have been planned for this autumn, from the class of 1925 to the class of 1932- The club also plans to conduct regular monthly skiing trips, often into the New Hampshire mountains. There is a small ski jump at the cabin in Groton. Plans were also made for a series of openhouse parties for older alumni, to be held during October and November. These will be open to all alumni of the College. Since the Cabin was opened in December, 1931, there have been approximately two hundred overnight guests and about eight hundred other guests.
