GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE

Professor Justin H. Smith has presented to the College Daniel Webster's personal desk, a substantial, flat topped, mahogany desk, with drawers on both sides and one drawer in the middle. There are several alleged "Daniel Webster desks" in existence, but documents in Professor Smith's possession prove that this is the genuine one; that it passed from Webster to his partner, Healey ; from Healey to his partner, Burbank ; from Burbank to his partner, Lund ; and from Mrs. Lund to Professor Smith by purchase. In due time the desk will be given an honored place in Webster Hall.

John H. Bartlett, Esq.,'94 of Ports-mouth lias presented to the College one of the tables used in the memorable Portsmouth Peace Conference. It will find a place, temporarily, in the auditorium of Dartmouth Hall, and will ultimately be placed in Webster Hall.
