COLLEGE NOTES

The 1907, Aegis, the thirty-fourth edition of the Dartmouth annual, was issued Monday, January 15. In arrangement and general appearance the book is much like those of former years. It is dedicated to Mr. Melvin O. Adams '71, whom Professor Charles F. Richardson in a very appreciative biographical sketch calls a "typical Dartmouth man." The excellent illustrations include many from the private collection of Professor Charles H. Morse. The editor-in-chief of the Aegis is George Henry Howard of Craftsbury, Vt.; the business manager, Robert Carlyle Cochrane, Somerville, Mass.

The musical clubs gave their annual midwinter concert in the Bissell Gymnasium Thursday evening, January 18. The program was carefully selected and skillfully rendered. The work of both clubs was excellent, the mandolin club playing with a finish seldom attained by undergraduate organizations. The clubs gave a second concert in the gymnasium Saturday evening, February 17, under the auspices of the .College Club.

Mr. Ernest H. Baynes, superintendent of Corbin Park, Plainfield, N. H,, gave a smoke talk in College Hall, Saturday evening, February 3, on "The American Bison." Mr. Baynes appealed strongly for the preservation of the buffalo, for both its historic and its commercial value. He also appealed to every man to join the American Bison Protective Association, a branch of which will soon be established in the College.

Thrall, the last runner for Dartmouth, crossed the tape 53 yards ahead of his opponent. Although not forced to exertion, Dartmouth made the fastest time of the evening, 7 minutes, 15 seconds.

Mr. Charles M. Jessup of New York spoke in College Hall, Saturday evening. February 17, under the auspices of the Webster Club. His subject was, "The Responsibilities of American Citizenship."

The College hockey team began its first season at Albany, N. Y., Saturday evening, January 20, defeating Williams 4 to 2. Though the contest was close enough to be interesting, the work of both elevens was crude. Goals by Brett and Foote clinched the game for Dartmouth just before time was called. In the second game of the schedule, Dartmouth lost to Technology in the Harvard Stadium, Friday, February 8, by the score of 5 to 3. The brilliant work of Captain Miller of Technology was the feature of the game.
