DARTMOUTH NIGHT

TYPICAL Dartmouth enthusiasm marked the eleventh annual observance of Dartmouth night in College Hall Friday evening, September 29. President Tucker, who presided, characterized Dartmouth Night as an endeavor to incorporate the past of the College with the present, to make every man know that he has a part in the fellowship of the dead as well as of the living. "We bring together," said he, "the men of every generation who would like to be here. The past is here because we are in it and of it, and because we are in it and of it we celebrate our eleventh Dartmouth Night."

The venerable Professor C. A. Young '53, president of the alumni association, was the first speaker. "I have just one word to leave with you," said he. "Keep right side up with care. Remember that. Be sure you're right, then go ahead."

Charles F. Mathewson, Esq., '83, of the Board of Trustees, declared that a million dollars could not buy a stone of the foundation of Old Dartmouth Hall, or the stump of the Old Pine. His idea of the Dartmouth man and the Dartmouth spirit is sand and determination. "The true Dartmouth man will work harder in harder circumstances. As the consuls at Rome were" charged that no harm should come to the republic, so Dartmouth men are charged with the stability, dignity, and glory of the College."

Dr. Kan-Ichi Asakawa told briefly his experiences at the Portsmouth peace conference and exhorted every Dartmouth man "to cultivate an intelligent interest in Eastern affairs,"

Fred A. Howlaud, Esq., '87 was glad that the spirit of democracy, as he knew it, still lives in the College. "I recall no sweeter memory," said he, "than the days when fraternity and principle ruled our action. Why should this not continue, while the College grows greater and stronger each year?"

Dr. Felix Adler, head of the Ethical Culture Society of New York, was greatly impressed with "the breath of democracy and manhood that seems to blow about this campus, the value put upon athletics — yes, that is as it should be — and the respect put upon scholarship. It is a grand thing to be incorporated into traditions; but the present is even greater than the past, and the only right principle is that of service."

Samuel L. Powers, Esq., '74 was the last speaker. "The class of 1909," said he, "is now a part of the College and always will be. 'Once a Dartmouth man, always a Dartmouth man.' Success in life comes through co-operation. Wherever a Dartmouth man goes, if he be a true son of the College he makes his impress upon the world. If you are true to the College, you are true to yourself and to the great republic to which you belong."

The Glee Club rendered several selections during the evening, and the exercises closed with the Dartmouth Song.
